Studio Sitges were delighted to welcome some leading-edge companies last weeks to use the full spectrum of our facilities.

Our most recent client was Audi, manufacturer of top-end cars, so only a top-end venue would hack it. We had a fantastic evening of it and we will remember the occasion for a very long time.

Here are the pictures to give a flavour of it all!

When two or more people get together and achieve more than they could achieve separately, that’s synergy. Here at Studio Sitges we had a great example of it recently when a high-end European fashion house wanted a leading photographer. And he wanted the best possible venue for the shoot.

Philip James has an outstanding reputation. It goes even beyond his work in fashion and portraiture to include a major architectural and interiors aspect.

This link will show you all about it. We would love to tell you more about the client but our lips are sealed.

Sección 8 Imagen & Comunicación in collaboration with Carlos Alsina, shoot the CYL MODA ÍNTIMA forthcoming spring campaign. Carlos is yet another photographer who returns to Studio Sitges when he has a major fashion and lifestyle shoot.

Earlier in 2011 he did the Naulover campaign here with us and now 2012 is kicking off in great form with a media campaign you can expect to see early in the New Year.

Good lighting is the oxygen of photography. It’s essential if everything else is going to work as it should. You want the very best. We have it at Studio Sitges.

That means the latest Broncolor Scoro A4s 3200J. The Senso A2 1200J & the Senso A4 2400J complete the best available power packs on the market. Flash heads such as the Pulso G 3200J and 1600J, ring flashes and reflectors such as our Beauty Dish and the Para 220FB are all on the list as well.

With these you can take on the most ambitious productions you’ve ever dreamed of!

This whole array is available for rental at Studio Sitges. You know where to come for your next photo shoot venue. Just follow the lights.

Are you thinking of shooting in a sandstorm? Or maybe in the middle of a monsoon? That’s no problem for the latest addition to our range of top-specification equipment.

Now we have Sony HXR-NX70 – the Water Baby - with CVP Camshower System for Rainproof Capability. This robust baby has a bright future ahead of it. It will stand up to conditions that would finish off any other camcorder. It has an integrated 10x optical zoom 'G' lens with a focal range of 3.8-38mm, the equivalent of a 26mm lens on a 35mm camera which gives impressive wide angle shots.

A full HD image consists of less than 2.2 million pixel. This baby is equipped with a very grown-up 1/2.88" Exmor-R CMOS sensor with 6.6 million pixels!

Want to shoot a disaster movie? You can make a success of it by using our wind and rain machines and filming it all with the Sony at Studio Sitges.

Our wind machine is just what you need to get that extra breath of fresh air into your shoots.
It’s the ideal accessory for stylish glamour shots.

Studio Sitges now has the professional photo studio model of the Bowens Jetstream Windmachine BW2550.
This one is wheel-mounted for extra ease in using it.

If you want to really kick up a storm you can use it with our 9-head rain shower. Sexy!

We can help make 2012 a great year for you. This year is almost ending and we are really getting into the Christmas mood here. As part of the celebrations we are offering tempting discounts on our usual Studio rates for 2012 if you book during December ‘11.

Just think of it as your Xmas present from Studio Sitges!

Contact us now for glad tidings about our special seasonal offers. We are looking forward to welcoming you.

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.

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.

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.

Here at Studio Sitges we have the capability to project up to 8 meters width in our cyclorama or even bigger if you want more space. And your images can be projected on the fly via your laptop while you are shooting tethered.

Using super-resolution technology, our in-house projector can actually increase resolution and detail. The highest contrast ratio on the market brings you a real-life cinema and video experience.

Just think what all this could do for your conference and workshop presentations!

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.

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.

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.

Studio Sitges and its surroundings have it all. We’ve got the light, the sights and the people. This seaside town with 300 days of sunshine per year is the ideal venue for productions, workshops and events. And make sure you don’t miss out on the festivals. Studio Sitges is Photo Central.

Studio Sitges has hosted its first “Art of Nude Photography” Workshop and we can’t wait till the next one. The whole weekend went just right from start to finish. Everyone learnt a lot and, just as important, we had a blast while we did it. Check out the action in the film we’ve made of it below. If you like what you see – and we know you will – be sure to get on down to Studio Sitges for the next one October 21-23, 2011. We will be posting regular updates of details.

Studio Sitges was the venue for Lomography’s latest stop on their creative journey. This photographic flash mob took over Sitges. It was great meeting you guys at Studio Sitges – you’re welcome back anytime.

Everyone knows that Studio Sitges is at the very top. Here’s more proof. The people who make the most advanced gear in the business came to us for the facilities they wanted when they shot their own publicity. Phase One are the leaders when it comes to professional digital camera systems. Their new IQ range of digital backs is simply the best there is.

We handled all aspects of the production management for this project. One of the reasons it worked so well was that we could host the whole Phase One family in our 5 en-suite bedrooms. That way everyone could live and breathe the assignment through to completion.

The IQ range was first used here in Studio Sitges in January ‘11. Listen here to 3 major photographers talk about their impressions.

Heavy metal band Accept showed up at Studio Sitges to shoot the promo video for their new album “Blood of the Nations”.

Studio Sitges is now the go-to venue for a whole range of photo projects. With Accept we handled the whole deal right through production management and post-production. Big jobs are what we do. So we developed the concept and drew up the story-boards. We hand-picked the crew and mapped out the seven camera set-up. Our stuntman used the Studio Sitges mascot car – the Black Beast.

It all came together perfectly and we had a ball while we were at it.

Watch it here:

Studio Sitges sparkles all year round. Come visit us in the New Year.

Studio Sitges showed just how versatile it is when we shot two contrasting sessions at the same time. An editorial with American Apparel took place in Studio A. At the same time, in Studio B Barcelona's Hells Angels showed us how tough they can be in an epic session of pictures for their club house walls.

Everybody, but everybody, showed up. Production companies, model agencies and other photographers all wanted to see what's on offer. Studio Sitges is open for business in a big way.

Now Studio Sitges is built, it’s time to see that it works. To check this out we invited the internationally renowned Kenneth Linge to host a workshop for 14 Norwegian photographers. Day one was a fashion shoot in the Studio. The next day took in some outdoor venues as well as locations around Barcelona before coming back to Studio Sitges. The verdict is in. “ It’s superb”.

Everyone worked so hard on the Studio Sitges project that we had to finish off this stage in style. We came up with the idea of a Mexican party and it really rocked from the very start. First we needed to let everyone know about it. No problem - everyone wanted in. The guys on the site posed for the Mexican wrestling style poster and it took off from there. The food, the drink and, best of all, the company were a great climax to the time spent working together at Studio Sitges.

Building Studio Sitges is more than just a complex technical task. It's also a fantastic creative achievement. We are putting together the ideas of a group of photographers and all kinds of other experts. The question we asked them was “What would be your ideal studio?” This is their answer. Now it is up to the craftsmen to use their skills to make it a reality. It is hard work for everyone to get it completely right but it is well worth it. Every day at Studio Sitges is more progress and another problem solved. That’s the way we are going to keep on.

Can't wait. Let's get the Studio Sitges show on the road.
