STUDIO XLV

Photography studios in Upper Manhattan don’t always come with the space or light needed for larger projects, but STUDIO XLV manages to offer both. Situated at 345 E 104th St, New York, NY 10029, it sits in a stretch of the neighborhood where storefronts give way to taller residential buildings, making the studio a quiet exception. The area’s mix of old walk-ups and newer developments means foot traffic is steady, though the studio itself keeps a low profile—ideal for clients who prefer to work without interruptions. Sessions can range from portrait shoots to product photography, and the setup accommodates everything from natural light to controlled studio conditions. When you’re ready to book, call (646) 791-6047 to confirm availability.

East Harlem’s creative scene has grown in recent years, and studios like this one contribute to that shift without drawing much attention. The address is easy to reach from the 6 train, and the surrounding blocks offer a few coffee shops if you need to wait or take a break. While the studio’s name might sound cryptic, it’s become a reliable spot for local photographers and brands looking for a blank canvas.
