Metal Building Drive-Thru Photo Studio

A space designed to process high-volumes vehicles in a photo studio wrapped with a 12-camera system that can take all exterior pictures within 5-seconds without compromising our commitment to high-quality perfected pictures

We install a 30’ x 30’ Metal Building to house our Drive-Thru Studios that include the same high-quality materials and equipment as within our Carousel Photo Studio except the carousel has been replaced with a 12-Camera Nikon Mirrorless system that swiftly completes all the exterior pictures within 5-seconds. When speed is a requirement to keep up with volume, the Drive-Thru Studio produces the answer.

Our photo studio excels in perfecting images through advanced automation, utilizing high-quality materials and cutting-edge equipment. These studios are meticulously designed to control and optimize reflections. We combine our proprietary lighting setup, featuring over half a million lumens, to create an exceptional photography environment.
