The Space

A natural-light studio rental in The Heights, Jersey City.

New Heights Studio is a 500 sq ft photo, video and production studio in a beautiful old brick building in The Heights, Jersey City, just across the Hudson from Manhattan. Large windows on two sides soak the room in natural light from dawn to dusk, and full-length heavy curtains black it out completely — they also make a great backdrop.

A variety of mounted backdrops and materials sit against an exposed vintage white brick wall. The modular lounge moves into any configuration, and every piece of furniture can be used in your shoot.

Every booking includes a host/assistant.

One studio, many uses

Looking for a studio rental in Jersey City or a photo studio near NYC? New Heights is a flexible creative space for photographers, filmmakers, podcasters, musicians, brands and content creators, with lighting and a host/assistant included in every booking.

Photo studio

Portraits, fashion, product, headshots and editorial. Shoot in natural light from windows on two sides, or black the room out and use the included Godox QS400 strobe, V860 speedlite, GVM LED panels, C-stands and modifiers against mounted backdrops or exposed vintage white brick.

Video studio

Music videos, interviews, brand films and short-form video. 15 ft ceilings and boom arms leave room for overhead lighting, full-length heavy curtains give total blackout, and a freight elevator makes load-in easy.

Production studio

Small crews and full production days for up to 10 people. Use the production desk with an LG monitor and KRK audio monitors, tether to your own laptop or ask about the M4 Mac add-on, and spread out on the extendable conference table.

A conference table that seats up to 8 makes it great for podcasts, interviews and roundtables, with a loft-and-brick look that reads well on camera. Bring your own microphones and recorders.
