Lofts for photo shoots and filming in NYC

A New York loft does a lot of work on camera. Brick, plank floors and tall windows read as the city before you dress anything. These are the lofts we have walked, with the details that decide whether a shoot day works.

What to check before you book a loft

Ask about the freight elevator first. Many SoHo and Tribeca lofts load through a passenger elevator or a narrow stair, and that changes your gear list. Then check which way the windows face. East-facing lofts give you strong morning light and a flat afternoon. West-facing is the reverse.

Ask about power next. Most loft floors run on house circuits, so a big lighting package may need a tie-in or a generator plan. Every listing here states the power on the floor.

Cast iron lofts and why they shoot well

Cast iron buildings went up in lower Manhattan from the 1850s on. They were built with big windows and open floors for manufacturing, which is why the same blocks now fill call sheets. Columns, tin ceilings and old plank floors are part of the building, not set dressing.

Questions

How much does a loft for a photo shoot cost in NYC?
It depends on crew size, hours and how much of the floor you use. Send your crew count and hours and we quote the exact day rate for each loft.
Can we bring a full lighting package into a loft?
Usually, but check the power and load-in first. Every listing here states the floor's power and how gear comes up.
