1. Studio Loft 18
Studio Loft 18 is a stunning, clean, crisp studio located in the heart of downtown Fortville. It’s a little outside the city, yes, but it’s so worth it. The options are limitless in this studio with backdrops, exposed brick walls, tons of chairs and props, a bed, couches, and more. I love doing branding sessions, headshots, and video shoots here!
2. Aspiring Eden Studios
Aspiring Eden Studios is another beautiful studio space and this one is located in downtown Indianapolis. They offer a unique option of a few different rooms available for rent that have different looks/vibes. I LOVE the warm tone floors in the main room and could shoot content there all day. Here’s an example of a session I did with an artist in this studio.
3. Mass Ave / Bottleworks District
Mass Ave / Bottleworks District is a bustling and artistic area. If you’re wanting colorful and fun photos, this might be your best bet. With its eclectic boutiques, theaters, colorful murals, and cafes, this area is perfect for capturing vibrant photos. Not to mention you can get some really yummy food while there too!
4. draft creative space
draft creative space is a very clean, aesthetic, and modern venue that’s great for events, branding, or headshots. It’s a great choice for those looking for a sleek and contemporary backdrop. It does require membership or a fee for one time access. Explore more about their membership options website, or email them at staff@draftcreativespace.com for inquiries.
5. War Memorial Park
War Memorial Park is a great outdoor option because it has a nice variety of backdrops. There’s a big green space with trees/benches/fountains/etc. I also love shooting headshots at the museum there as well because you can get the clean backdrop of the big steps OR climb to the top and get a skyline view behind you. So here you can get both green space and city vibes!
6. Fountain Square
Fountain Square is an artistic and eclectic neighborhood. Known for its colorful murals, retro architecture, and lively street scenes, it’s an ideal spot for creative photoshoots. If you’re after a location with character and energy, Fountain Square just might be your vibe. It’s very fun and edgy.
7. The Garden at Newfields
The Garden at Newfields is a stunning setting for elegant and serene photos. However, note that a permit is required for all photography and videography shoots. To ensure a scheduled time block and obtain your digital photo pass, complete the online order form at least 48 hours in advance. For more details and to check available dates, visit their photo/video policies here, or contact them at photopass@discovernewfields.org.
