PRODUCTION READYA Chicago Photography Studio Built for Production
Advertising campaigns rarely need just a place to put the camera.
They need room for crew, equipment, talent, clients, wardrobe, food styling, product, meetings, meals, and all the other things happening just outside the frame.
Green Relish was designed with the whole production day in mind.
The Main Stage provides a large, open shooting environment beneath an 18-foot bow-truss roof, with flexible layouts for photography, motion, set builds, tabletop, lifestyle and product work.
And when the production needs more than one setup, the studio gives you options without requiring another location.
FLEXIBLE SPACECommercial Photography at Green Relish
The studio works particularly well for productions that need to move between different kinds of imagery in a single day.
A campaign might start with tabletop product photography, move into food, then lifestyle, portraits or motion without changing locations.
The Main Stage anchors the production, while the Prep Kitchen, Small Stage and surrounding support spaces give photographers and crews room to build additional setups or keep departments working simultaneously.

TABLETOP READYFood, Product + Tabletop Photography
Commercial food photography requires more than an attractive kitchen.
It requires somewhere for food stylists to prep, organize ingredients, manage equipment and work while photography is happening elsewhere.
Green Relish's Prep Kitchen supports food and beverage production while allowing the Main Stage to remain available for the actual set.
That separation makes the studio particularly useful for productions combining food, product, tabletop, lifestyle and motion.

CLIENT READYBuilt for crews. Designed for clients.
A good production space has to work for the people who aren't standing on set, too.
Green Relish includes dedicated areas where agency teams, brand clients, producers and talent can work, review, meet or simply get away from the shooting floor.
The Client Lounge provides a comfortable place to spend the day, while the Pitch Suite offers a large worktable, display and private bathroom for meetings, reviews or client use.
Because the experience around the shoot matters, too.
