Not Just for the Pros: 5 Reasons to Use The Valentine Room for Your Mobile Photography

Did you think The Valentine Room was only for professional photographers? Think again! 

Not only is this space also designed for small group events—which ought to resume soon as lockdown restrictions lift!—but if you just want a clean, bright space to capture mobile photos for the next 30 days of your Instagram content calendar, The Valentine Room has everything you need!

Here are 7 reasons to consider using The Valentine Room for your mobile photography:

Reason One: PRIVACY

Calling all introverts and anyone who didn’t grow up with a cell phone in their hand! If you feel silly taking photos of yourself on the street, in a shared co-working space or anywhere others could be watching, The Valentine Room offers the seclusion that will help put you at ease to set your phone up on a tripod and get as many takes as you need. 

Reason Two: NATURAL LIGHT

Take a look at these photos shot in The Valentine Room without any pro equipment. Would you believe they were shot on a phone? The trick is natural light! Our three tall windows on the east side let in the natural light that will help take your mobile photos from lackluster to luminous and from amateur to awesome. Simply put your mobile camera into portrait mode, set a timer, and go!

Reason Three: PROPS, PROPS, PROPS

The Valentine Room comes as a pre-styled space with different furniture options so you can diversify the look of your images, all from a single room. Our two rugs, modern sofa, four different solo-seat options, various tables and even plant life can be used and rearranged in almost endless combinations, so that your photos don’t look like they were all shot at one site.

Reason Four: OUR SEASONAL BACKDROP

The Valentine Room has a rolling backdrop that’s white on one side (it makes a great reflector on overcast days!) and on the other side, a seasonal color that means your portraits and product shots don’t have to be captured on neutral white (although that’s always a safe bet!). This summer, it’s blush!

BONUS: If you’re a member, you actually also get access to four other colored paper backdrops and our in-house backdrop stand so you can diversify your look even further!

Reason Five: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Okay, this one has nothing to do with mobile photography, but The Valentine Room is located in the same building as some other great businesses that you may want to visit on your way in or out of your session! On the ground floor, cake. vegan bakery offers Instagram-worthy snacks that also satiate even the pickiest sweet tooth (just be sure to pre-order!). Dos Amigos always makes for a healthy lunch after a shoot—we don’t know about you, but a photo session usually works up our appetite! Not to mention we’re within walking distance of several awesome coffee shops where you can meet a friend afterward and reward yourself for all your hard work.
