Welcome to Wallis Studios. We’re a photography studio based in the west Costa Mesa neighborhood, just 5 mins from the beach! We think you’ll find us unique amongst southern California studios for several reasons:
The studio is run by an actual working photographer and is used solely for photography!
I rent the studio out to other photographers and companies who already have an in-house photographer or just need some space to shoot in. Most photographers do not have the need or budget to have a full-time studio.
I have been renting it out for about six years and have many repeat clients. The main advantage of having an experienced photographer run the studio is that I can solve or troubleshoot any technical problems you may have on the shoot immediately (I live 5 mins away). I can also set up the lighting and backgrounds for you!
I can recommend any technical and photo resources you may need.
Size really does matter
It's a recession -give me a break! Look what happened to Annie Lebovitz!
Who needs a massive bloated 12,000 ft studio with twenty assistants hurrying around? Why pay for that? I host a industrial style 1400sq. foot studio with high ceilings, comprising of a large shooting area, a changing-room/make-up area, and a comfortable lounge (with shag carpet!) to entertain clients, or hang out during shooting. We want you to feel like the studio is your own.
I hang around to make sure you are set-up and have what you need and then leave. I am always a cell phone call away if you need help.
The studio is available anytime day/night weekdays. Weekends it is generally booked out so advance notice is required
Wallis Studios is available for one day or up to a week. Rental clients include Tillys, ABS, Oneil surf wear, Lost, Fox, Rusty and Split clothing, People Magazine and MTV, Paul Frank, Silver Star , USA Today , LA Fitness, and Inc. Magazine.
Or you may be a freelance photographer or stylist just needing a fully-equipped studio. We can accommodate your needs.
We have wireless Internet!
We have multiple colored paper backdrops for your use.
I do have lighting for an additional $25/day: 2 Speedotron Blackline strobes and 1 softbox, umbrellas; also pocket wizards.
I have a steamer and a fan!
NEW: $50/hr with (2 hr minimum)...
Shooting late? No problem

I can also rent additional lights and equipment for you if needed?
BTW Wallis Photo LLC is not liable for anything when you rent the studio. You carry all liability for any damage or injury that occurs.
Want to shoot it yourself but you're not a professional photographer?
Be a professional photographer for a day (or a few hours). Use my studio. I'll set up everything for you!
Let me guess: you have a Canon Rebel (or Nikon equivalent) and want to shoot it yourself? No problem! I can set the backdrop, lights up for you and meter the lighting. I have done it many times for renters!
Alternatively, I can shoot a few hours for you and SHOW YOU how to do it.
I am an established professional photographer. My portfolio is here . After you have watched me for an hour or so you can take over.
If I set up for you and you just model what I am doing you will get similar results!
Also I can do castings for you on Model Mayhem if you need models!
Here is a review Terry from One World Sarongs left about this service:
"Consumate Professional Who Goes Above and... It was a real pleasure to work with Jason. We had to do a photo shoot with 5 models and over 100 different outfits. It was a big project and we needed to get it done right. Previously I would shoot out of my garage...the results where ok...but luckily we found Jason. Jason Wallis and his studio are a great combo. Jason shot for the first 3 hours and then showed me everything that I needed to do to finish the shoot on my own. From lighting and camera set up to using Adobe Lightroom for capture and editing. I was thrilled to work with Jason. He helped us in so many ways...including coming in on budget and on time ;-). Jason went above and beyond and brought our product photos and our resulting image out of the dark ages and into the space ages in no time at all. I'm so happy that we found you and look forward to working with you in the future. If you have a business and need a photographer or you want to use a great studio, Wallis is your man. Cheers"
