The Studio B special cyclorama infinity wall

The Studio B special cyclorama infinity wall

Studio Sitges second production area, studio B offers an unusual infinity wall.

At Studio Sitges we have two cycloramas, also called infinity walls, one in each studio. But the one in Studio B is a little special as it extends into the ceiling making it possible to get that white infinity background even when shooting at a low-angle. It’s not completely unheard of but it's not what would be considered a standard cyclorama feature either, and most of all not that commonly available, so we are therefore happy to be able to offer it.

The cyclorama floor area in Studio B is 5x8 meters and the ceiling height is almost five meters. With the cyclorama extending into the ceiling another three meters approximately the cyclorama area totals somewhere close to 95 square meters.

Studio B has a total production area of 120 square meters and can be completely closed off from studio A and has its own entrance. For more info or to check availability please contact us here.

Car shoot at Studio Sitges

Getting those spring or summer shots in mid-december is no problem in sunny Sitges.

Last week we had a visit from a top international car manufacturer who wanted to shoot their new model in the driveway and on the street in front of the house. They came, set up and got the shots in a little under two hours, and then moved on to get more shots of the car on the winding roads in the fields and vineyards between Sitges, Vilanova and Ribes.

This production team came all the way from Germany to shoot here in sunny Spain where it's no problem getting those spring or summer shots in the middle of winter for the upcoming summer season campaigns.

Worldwide premiere at Studio Sitges! The Phase One XF IQ4 camera has arrived!

The wait is over, It’s finally here! The brand-new Phase One XF IQ4 150MP Camera system, the highest resolution camera in the world.

The moment we’ve been waiting patiently for these last months has finally arrived. Today we received the very first XF IQ4 at the studio and it’s truly a magnificent piece of equipment.

Phase One is the world's leader in digital medium format photography and RAW processing software solutions for professional photographers. This new digital back has an incredible 151 mega pixel resolution bettering the previous model the IQ3 by 50%.

Some of the most exciting features of this new monster camera - apart from the incredible resolution - are the new tethering options. The firewire port is gone but instead there are three massive new tethering options.

• You can now tether with inexpensive ethernet cables that come in literally any length and don't accidently disconnect as easily as firewire cables, but also powers the camera eliminating battery concerns.
• Fast direct USB-C connection to hard drives, meaning you can shoot via USB-C to your laptop or an external hard drive directly, something we have all been waiting for, for a long time.
• And the most exciting: WiFi RAW tethering. No cables at all. You can shoot wireless and have a 151 million pixel image pop up on your laptop screen.

There are also improvements in storage options, and as mentioned above you can now shoot directly to your hard drive via USB-C, or a XQD card option that has a 400MB per second write speed, the fastest available at this moment. The new IQ4 has two card slots and can write to an SD card back up at the same time as tethering.

Ici à StudioSitges on aime la vieille école. La beauté d'une toile peinte à la main ne peut être égalée.

Certains des photographes mondialement célèbres sont reconnus pour leur art du portrait grâce à leur choix de toiles comme fond de décor. Les clichés renommés de Annie Leibowitz, les photos de mode de Richard Avedon, et les ensembles artistiques de Joel Peter-Witkin n'auraient jamais atteint une telle grandeur sans le charme des toiles en fond de décor.

A présent disponible au StudioSitges, nous pouvons offrir nos grandes toiles peintes à la main de 6m x 8m en fond de décor afin d'agrémenter le look classique de vos productions.
