Photo + Video Studio

designed for all things food

North Light Loft is a boutique photo and video studio specializing in food, liquid, packaging, still life and portrait shoots in the San Francisco Bay Area.

This natural light studio features 40-foot ceilings, north-facing windows and unobstructed sunlight from within. Clients love our space because of the comfortable upstairs lounge, which features couches and desks and allows visitors to work, meet and relax while overlooking the set below.

Located in the heart of Emeryville, we’ve hosted projects ranging from commercial advertising motion productions to lifestyle and cookbook photo shoots and beyond.
