Berlin has a huge spread of rental studios, from small daylight lofts in Kreuzberg to full production spaces with drive-in cycloramas out in Tempelhof and Lichtenberg. This guide covers what to look for and where to find it.
35 studios across 14 areas: Alt-Treptow, Charlottenburg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Lichtenberg, Mitte, Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg, Tempelhof, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Treptow-Köpenick, Wedding, Weissensee, Wilmersdorf. 16 have natural daylight, 4 have an infinity cove / cyclorama, and 3 offer drive-in vehicle access.
Daylight studios work well for editorial and lifestyle work but depend on the season, Berlin's winter daylight hours are short (as little as 7-8 hours in December). Blackout studios give you full control year-round. Every studio page on this site shows a build-time daylight hours table by month, and the map's detail panel calculates today's actual sunrise, sunset, and golden hour for that studio's location.
If you need a seamless white or coloured background, look for a cove/cyclorama rather than paper. Berlin studios with a cove are listed here, ranging from tight 6x6m setups to full 10x10m coves with drive-in access for car and motorbike shoots.
