Looking to rent a photo studio in Montreal? Le Studio Popcorn is a 600 sq ft creative space in Centre-Sud – and if you’re not sure it’s the right fit, this article covers everything you need to know before booking.
A Versatile Space in the Heart of Montreal
Located at 2065 rue Parthenais, unit 412, in Montreal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhood, Le Studio Popcorn is a 600 sq ft space available 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm. The studio is just a few minutes’ walk from Frontenac metro station, and the Ontario bus stop is literally right around the corner. On the 4th floor, the building is equipped with both an elevator and a freight elevator – super convenient for hauling your gear without breaking a sweat.
A parking spot is included with every booking. For coffee lovers, Café Pop is right on the ground floor of the same building – no need to step outside, which is a real bonus in winter. The building is also home to a creative community – tattoo studios, thrift shops, and original businesses. It feels like a little urban village..
Backdrops for Every Project
This is where Le Studio Popcorn really stands out: the number of options packed into a single space, at an affordable price.
The painted walls offer four distinct atmospheres. The white backdrop is a timeless classic, perfect for headshots and colourful outfits. Perfect for moody and mysterious vibes, the black backdrop makes a real statement. For professional photos, the grey backdrop is hard to beat – elegant, timeless, and a step above white. The beige backdrop brings a cozy, warm feel, perfect for lifestyle and editorial content.
Beyond the painted walls, black and white 8-foot vinyl backdrops hang from the ceiling. They create a cyclorama effect, ideal for full body shots. A red paper backdrop and a brown one round out the options, along with a white curtain backdrop to play with texture and light.
Montreal Photo Studio Rental: What’s Included at Le Studio Popcorn
Le Studio Popcorn goes beyond backdrops. The space includes a makeup station with large mirrors and lights, a changing room, a steamer, a couch and armchairs for lifestyle sessions, and a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, and sink. Continuous lighting is included with every booking – perfect for getting started. Photographers who want to bring their own photo or lighting equipment are of course welcome.
Packages Adapted to Every Project
The studio rents by the hour, in blocks, or for a full day – weekdays and weekends alike.
The 1-hour block is made for experienced photographers who know the space and know exactly what they’re coming to do. Ideal for a first visit, the 2-hour block gives you enough time to explore and experiment. For more ambitious projects, group shoots, or video productions, the 3-hour and half-day blocks are the way to go. It’s also possible to rent the studio for a full day, or even several consecutive days.

Why Le Studio Popcorn?
Le Studio Popcorn was born out of a frustration: too many Montreal studios are all-white, prop-free, expensive, and hard to reach by public transit. Le Studio Popcorn is the answer to that reality. Accessible in price, by transit, in options, and in welcome – it’s a space that works for everyone.
Clients are regularly surprised by the quality, the variety of options, and the overall versatility. Small but well thought out, it offers a value-for-money ratio that’s hard to beat in Montreal.
