Lights, camera - and cue tropical downpour.

We are almost swept away by the latest addition to our facilities. We have just installed a 9-head rain shower in Studio A. There no need for rain dances any more when we want to get wet-look effects. Hot or cold water cascades down 5 metres to the happy models underneath. Now the Studio’s climate control is exactly what it says. So whether you want to shoot a wet wet wet music video or a fashion show with a sprinkling of glamour, Studio Sitges is the place to book. Contact us now before we are deluged with enquiries and don’t forget your umbrella. Swimsuits optional.

We are in good company

When a high-end fashion house gets together with an award-winning photographer, where do they head for the photo shoot? Yes – you guessed it! It’s Studio Sitges.

We have just finished hosting the preparations for the launch of Naulover‘s autumn and winter collections. Have a look here at beautiful clothes they are presenting.

Internationally-feted photographer Carlos Alsina was there to make sure they looked their very best. We are proud to be their studio of choice when they needed the best facilities.

Now available - Tom Kundig book “Houses 2”

Now available - Tom Kundig book “Houses 2”

Read all about it

Photographers and others worldwide were asked, “What would be your ideal working environment?” From this input we knew Studio Sitges needed the best architect. We found him. It was Tom Kundig.

Now his just published book “Houses 2” tells the story of a three years’ collaboration. It shows the outcome of the monumental planning and discussion that went into the creation of the purpose-built Studio and the House that goes with it.

Tom is actively redefining the grammar of architecture. For example you can see it in the House’s wood and iron staircases, the positioning of the pool, doors that open in different ways and the curved outside architectural line that goes all the way through the bathrooms of the suites.

The book and its pictures reveal why Seattle-based Tom Kundig continues his meteoric rise. Over the last five years he has gained a world-wide reputation for an innovative balance of raw materials with modernist design. Nowadays he collects numerous awards including the 2011 “World Architecture News House of the Year Award” for his design of The Pierre in Seattle and “Residential Architect’s Project of the Year award” for Art Stable in Washington State.

You can see the result in pictures from the book attached here.

So why go to such great lengths? It’s so that you can have the world’s finest Studio available to you.

The best just got better.

The best just got better.

We are talking about the new IQ180 system from Phase One.

Come to think of it, it’s true of Studio Sitges too because this fantastic new advance is now available on request to our Studio clients. This leading-edge equipment is now our in-house system and we are blown away by what it can do.

It has received rave reviews from the professional press and we can vouch for the fact that it lives up to them. “Digital Photographer” magazine says “It cannot be faulted….. for those at the top of their game”. “Luminous Landscape” describes it as “The most significant advance since the first untethered back.” And “PDN” talk of “the best image quality of any medium format system, bar none.”

If all this sounds like what you’ve been waiting for and now you are itching to get your finger on the button, then it’s here for you right now at Studio Sitges.

Read the full reviews at PHASE ONE NEWS and PHOTO DISTRICT NEWS.

Architectural Digest September 2011

Architectural Digest September 2011

Where we live

Studio Sitges is making more waves. We are not only producing fine photo art work. The Studio is a work of art in its own right. That’s the view of “Architectural Digest” magazine. This is the bible of the world of architectural design and Studio Sitges is deeply proud of this endorsement.

The September ’11 issue has a full scale feature with the whole story and images to show what Studio Sitges achieved with the renowned architect Tom Kundig. Take a look at what has attracted their admiration.

Above ground, below ground, inside and outside the Studio works in all the ways it was meant to. It’s good to know that such a prestigious authority as “Architectural Digest” magazine thinks so too.

The Delta

The Delta

Studio Sitges is so much more than a photo rental studio. We do total production management. One of our specialties is spotting that perfect location. Today we are introducing El Delta de l’Ebre. This is the delta of the River Ebro, only 90 minutes’ drive south of Sitges. The coastal length is around 50km and the delta plain is no more than 4 or 5m above sea level. The shoreline is formed by long sandy beaches with dunes topped by long grass and two striking sand barriers at each end. This area is famous for its seclusion and its bird life including flamingo colonies. We took a helicopter ride over this spectacular area last week, and the images are spectacular. For more information about access and permissions for this location, please contact Studio Sitges.
