We built the studio we wished existed.
Tooka Studio started as a single question: why does a small shoot in Vancouver need five different vendors? We put a proper photo and video room, event-ready floor space, and a podcast setup under one roof on Barrow St — so a creator, a brand, or a small team can book exactly what they need, in one place.
The space is 1,500 sq ft, with white walls, concrete floors, and 24ft ceilings — tall enough for full-length backdrops and big lighting setups, flexible enough to reset between a product shoot in the morning and a podcast recording by afternoon.
Rent the room, or hire the team — your call.
Every booking starts with the space: seamless backdrops, studio lighting, C-stands and sandbags, high-speed WiFi, a private washroom, and on-site parking, all included in the hourly rate. From there, you decide how much help you want.
Bring your own photographer and gear and run a self-serve session, or add one of our in-house crews — photography, videography, events, or podcast — and we’ll handle the production end to end.
What we care about on every booking.
One room, fully equipped
Backdrops, lighting, grip gear, and WiFi are already there, so you’re not renting an empty box and hauling in your own kit.
A team when you want one
Our in-house photography, video, event, and podcast crews know the room — book studio time with or without them.
Easy to get to
Steps from transit in North Vancouver, with on-site parking and wheelchair access, open seven days a week.
Four ways to use the room.
Studio rental is the foundation — add one of our in-house services whenever you need the extra hands.
Editorial, portrait & product shoots
Seamless backdrops and studio lighting included — rent the room, or hire our photographers.
Brand film, interviews & product video
A room set up for motion, with a video production team on hand if you need one.
Workshops, launches & gatherings
An open, flexible floor for up to 50 people, with setup and teardown available.
Multi-mic, multi-camera recording
A quiet, camera-ready room from 3:00 PM onward, self-run or fully produced.
Frequently asked questions
