Photographer and ham Deborah Whitlaw-Llewellyn http://www.dwlphoto.com made quick work of three sets of summer-y furniture. She was photographing for Veranda magazine and with the beautiful natural light and spacious Stage 1 South of Ambient Plus Studio the shoot was over very quickly.
Suggestions were made regarding installing a hot-tub. With so much free time, something is needed to entertain Ambient photographers.

Which one is working harder - photographer or model?
Angela Morris pulled an extensive team together for a Sunday shoot in Stage 1. Stage 1 is the largest and brightest of the rental studios at Ambient Plus Studio here in Atlanta and over the course of 8 hrs Angela Morris made good use of it. By the end, her team and her had racked up more than 6 looks. The toughest? A product-shot of Chanel boots with an actual cat as set dressing. “Boobies” the cat was expecting to be in only one shot but got tapped for a second later - her agent renegotiated her fee immediately - and proudly flaunted her wiles on-set.

Gregory Miller discusses shots with Client, Art Director
Gregory Miller (www.gregorymillerphotography.com) shot in Ambient + Studio’s Rental Studio today. He was shooting for Promethean (http://www.prometheanworld.com/) a leading supplier of advanced display technology for education.
It was quite the production with 3 different set walls assembled on the cyc-wall and hundreds of pounds of equipment mounted on them including projectors, screens and assembly hardware. It wasn’t all the heavy stuff. Ending the day on a lighter note, Gregory Miller shot parts and accessories on a small table-top set.
Emily Followill of Emily Followill Photography (in orange ) and Sara Bloesch of Vernada Magazine discuss a particular frame during their shoot on June 10 in Atlanta’s rental studio: Ambient + Studio. Veranda is one of the oldest and most frequent clients at the rental studio with more than a dozen bookings since their first in the summer of 2007.
In preparation for an upcoming issue, Emily Followill was tapped to photograph bathroom fixtures in her gentle elegant style. Veranda and Followill choose the studio for its copious amounts of daylight and versatile, almost limitless space. Even on a cloudy day, the enormous windows allow for incredible New York loft-style aesthetic. And says Bloesch, “Everytime we come in, something is better, something has improved. And its so convenient, everything is right at your fingertips.”

What? A musician posing as a photographer to get a girl to come up to his apartment? Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? Its nice to have the largest daylight rental studio in Altanta at your fingertips, isn’t it?
“Never Ever” featuring Young Jeezy
by Robot Films
Directed by Chris Robinson
For 20 hours on January 10, Ambient + Studio, Atlanta’s newest rental studio, became Ciara’s loft and personal night club for her video Never Ever. From the opening sequence in front of the defunct elevator to the beauty shot on the cyc-wall to the closing dance scenes, the crew and cast worked Ambient Plus’s hardwood floors from one end to the other. Though they held up beautifully, those floors saw more traffic and heavy equipment in that one day than in all shoots combined until then.
“Nasty Girl” featuring Plies
by Robot Films
Directed by Chris Robinson
On January 11, 2009 Ambient + Studio rental studio played host to Robot films as they shot the video for Ludacris’ Nasty Girl. In a masterful example of efficiency, the entire video was shot in just over 12 hours. Director Chris Robinson, barely recovered from a 20-hour shoot the day before (See Ciara), kept things moving quickly. In the end, the crew was nice enough to leave nearly a case of whip-cream at the studio for the Stage Managers to try to explain to Management.
