Nestled in the vibrant Limmatstrasse district of Zurich, Lichtraum Studio AG stands as a premier hub for creative professionals. Since our founding, our mission has been to provide photographers, videographers, and artists with not just a space, but a complete ecosystem designed for successful creation. We envisioned a studio that combines versatility, state-of-the-art equipment, and unparalleled support, all under one roof.

Our journey began with the simple idea that creative work thrives in the right environment. We meticulously designed Lichtraum to offer flexible layouts, abundant natural light options (alongside complete blackout capabilities), and the essential amenities needed for diverse projects, from high-fashion editorials and commercial product shoots to intimate portraits and dynamic video productions.

We understand that access to reliable, high-quality gear is paramount. That's why we maintain a comprehensive inventory of cutting-edge cameras, lenses, lighting systems, and grip equipment, available for rent. This allows creatives to access the tools they need without the burden of ownership, fostering experimentation and access to specialized equipment for specific jobs.

Beyond space and gear, Lichtraum is built on a foundation of community and support. Our knowledgeable team is always on hand to offer technical assistance, help with setup, or simply provide recommendations, ensuring your time in the studio is productive and stress-free. We are passionate about the creative industries we serve and are dedicated to being a trusted partner in your artistic endeavors.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, Lichtraum Studio AG is here to empower your vision, providing the ideal blend of location, resources, and expertise in the heart of Zurich. We are constantly evolving, bringing in new equipment, hosting workshops, and listening to the needs of our community to remain at the forefront of creative support in Switzerland.

Access Top-Tier Photography Gear

Having the right tools is crucial for bringing a creative vision to life. At Lichtraum Studio AG, we don't just offer a fantastic space; we also provide access to a carefully curated selection of professional photography and videography equipment through our rental service. This service is designed to give you flexibility, allowing you to use specialized gear for a specific project, try out high-end equipment before making a purchase, or simply supplement your existing kit.

Our inventory is regularly updated to include reliable, high-performance equipment from trusted brands. Renting from us ensures you're working with gear that is well-maintained, tested, and ready to perform on set. From camera bodies that capture stunning detail to specialized lenses for unique perspectives, and lighting solutions that sculpt your scene, we have the tools to elevate your production quality.

While our rental service provides temporary access, we often get asked about recommendations for equipment to own. Based on our extensive experience working with gear day-in and day-out, and understanding what performs reliably in a professional studio environment, we've put together a list of products we genuinely trust and recommend for creatives looking to build their own kit. This leads us to our curated selection of recommended gear...
