Crossed Eye Studios
About
Commercial shoots in Chelsea still need quiet corners where the light stays predictable and the floors don’t creak. Crossed Eye Studios offers exactly that—a photography studio tucked above the gallery shuffle at 526 W 26th St STE 1002. The building’s freight elevators and polished concrete lobbies are familiar territory for anyone who’s ever lugged a Profoto pack through the neighborhood, and the address puts you within a five-minute walk of half a dozen art handlers who can rig a seamless backdrop or source a last-minute prop.
They handle everything from e-commerce lookbooks to small-scale video inserts, so the space is set up for quick turnarounds between stills and motion. Natural light is optional; blackout curtains and a grid of overhead rails mean you can dial in whatever mood the client’s brief demands. The studio also keeps a roster of local assistants and digital techs on speed-dial, which can save a producer from scrambling when the call sheet runs long or the tethered laptop decides to nap.
If the shoot wraps early, the High Line is right there for a debrief over cold brews. When you’re ready to book or need to confirm the freight-door code, call (212) 287-1248.
