Cobalt is an amazing studio! They have so much equipment, props, and lighting available to make any vision possible. Full changing room and makeup/hair stations. The owners are constantly adding new things and sprucing up the space. They offer workshops for anyone that wants to be involved in creative photoshoots or learn more about photography/modeling. I've been to multiple workshops and rented the space out for private shoots. Always had a great experience there and it's well priced for the amount of stuff they have to offer. Definitely recommend this place!

We run photography portrait workshops and hands down, Cobalt is our favorite Portland studio. It’s spacious and can comfortably fit our attendees, and we typically set up 3-4 shooting areas all at once. Dozens of paper backdrop colors, complete lighting equipment, props, clothes, a dressing room, and MUA area with 3 stations. Super great hourly booking rates. Our attendees are always happy with the workshops we host at Cobalt.

I love this studio! It’s super spacious and lots of areas to shoot. I especially love the HMUA stations and dressing room. So many props and clothes to borrow during photo sessions, there’s literally something for everyone here!

What a great studio. We loved all the props the decorations; it was so perfect. From the boots to anything you can think of to create different looks, scenarios and content. We could’ve spent all day there! We took over 100 pictures and rented the studio for two hours. I’m glad such a place exists in Portland! I will go back and rent it again!!

As a professional international model and actress from California and Florida, I’ve had the privilege of traveling the world for my work, collaborating with top industry professionals and shooting in a variety of studios. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, I’ve been searching for a space that meets the high standards I’ve grown accustomed to, and from my very first shoot at Cobalt Studio, I was beyond impressed. I’ve now had the opportunity to do dozens of shoots at Cobalt, exploring a wide range of styles, moods, lighting setups, and creative concepts. Each experience has been an absolute treat, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. The studio is fully equipped with everything you need—professional lighting, diverse props and accessories, versatile backgrounds, and all the essential comforts to ensure a smooth and enjoyable shoot. What truly sets Cobalt Studio apart is the fact that it is a family-owned business with a team that goes above and beyond to meet every need and expectation. Michael and Rose are incredibly helpful, hands-on, and professional, always ensuring that everything runs seamlessly. Their dedication and attention to detail create an environment where creativity thrives. Cobalt Studio has quickly become my favorite place to shoot, and I highly recommend booking here—you won’t be disappointed! Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael as a photographer on a couple of occasions, and his versatility and talent are truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a skilled and passionate photographer to bring your vision to life, look no further. Mark my words and book your session at Cobalt Studio—you’ll be glad you did!
