The Studio

A one-of-a-kind creative space inside Dover NJ's historic Guenther Mill - 31 miles from NYC

Rachel Indano Photography Studio

My studio lives inside the Guenther Mill - a historic silk mill built between 1902 and 1921 that once employed over 1,000 workers and produced women's hosiery sold through Lord & Taylor.

The original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and industrial bones are all still here. I just added the hanging chairs, the plants, and the lights.

The space has multiple distinct shooting areas.

The vibe shifts depending on how we use the space. Dark and moody. Bright and editorial. Intimate and cinematic. No two shoots here look the same, and nothing here looks like everyone else's photos.

It's vintage and it's fabulous

A vintage corner that feels like it was pulled from another era - a tufted velvet sofa, record collections, oversized vintage posters, and curated props that give portraits a warm, lived-in quality you can't manufacture.

Custom set design is available as an add-on - a fully curated environment built around your session so every detail in the frame is intentional. For larger productions, complex builds, or custom set construction, we can work closely with on-staff contractors and engineers to bring bigger visions to life.

Sessions Available

The studio is available for corporate headshots, brand and content sessions, creative portraits, model work, maternity, couples, and collaborations with other creatives. Book a free consultation and we'll build a session around the space that fits your vision.

Studio Rentals

The studio is available to rent for small creative events, workshops, pop-ups, yoga and movement classes, intimate gatherings, and more.

Finding the studio

The studio is a little sneaky to find the first time - but once you know, you know.

Look for the side of the building with the circular porthole windows. That's us.

The studio entrance is marked in the photo below head toward the small door just off the parking area on Berry Street. Parking is free on the street and in the lot right out front. No meters, no stress.
