Finding the right location can make all the difference in a photo or video shoot. While many studios offer four white walls and a blank backdrop, sometimes you need a space with personality, texture, and character already built in.
That’s where Mannequin Madness comes in.
Our 3,200-square-foot creative warehouse in Oakland is unlike any other photo or video shoot location in the Bay Area. Filled with a large selection of mannequins, dress forms and mannequin body parts. artistic displays made wit repurposed materials, industrial details, and flexible shooting areas, it’s a space where every corner offers a different backdrop.
