When you’re searching for the perfect location for a photo shoot, video production, workshop, or creative event, the space you choose can shape the entire experience.
While many studios offer blank walls and empty rooms, our mannequin warehouse offers something different: character, creativity, and countless possibilities. Located in Oakland, California, our 3,200-square-foot showroom has become a favorite destination for photographers, filmmakers, artists, brands, and creative teams looking for a space that’s as memorable as the projects they create.
Here are seven reasons creatives choose Mannequin Madness for their next project.
1. One Location, Multiple Looks
Why rent multiple locations when you can capture a variety of scenes under one roof?
Our space includes bright natural light, an industrial loading dock, a dedicated photo studio, creative mannequin displays, open showroom areas, and moody warehouse corners. Each area offers a different atmosphere, making it easy to create a wide range of images and video without leaving the building.
2. A Setting You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
There are plenty of photo studios. There is only one Mannequin Madness.
Hundreds of mannequins, artistic installations, and the industrial charm of our historic building create an unforgettable backdrop. Whether the mannequins become part of your production or simply add visual interest, they give the space a personality that generic studios can’t match.
3. Perfect for More Than Photo Shoots
Although photographers and filmmakers are among our most frequent guests, our mannequin warehouse is also ideal for:
- Video productions
- Commercials
- Product photography
- Fashion editorials
- Music videos
- Interviews and podcasts
- Social media content
- Creative workshops
- Team-building events
- Private celebrations
The flexible layout allows each production or event to make the space its own.
4. Production-Friendly Amenities
Beautiful spaces are important, but so is convenience.
Our venue includes:
- Approximately 3,200 square feet of flexible space
- Ground-floor access for easy load-in
- Dedicated photo studio
- Private restroom

Everything is designed to help your production run smoothly from setup to wrap.
5. A Space That Inspires Creativity
One of the comments we hear most often is, “I had no idea there was so much here.”
People arrive with a plan, then discover unexpected angles, textures, lighting, and backdrops that inspire new ideas. It’s the kind of place that encourages experimentation and creative collaboration.
6. Conveniently Located in Oakland
Our warehouse is conveniently located in Oakland with easy freeway access, free street parking, and ground-floor entry for equipment and supplies.
Whether your team is local or traveling from elsewhere in the Bay Area, getting here is simple.
7. More Than a Rental. A Creative Experience.
At Mannequin Madness, creativity is woven into everything we do.
By day, our showroom is home to hundreds of new and recycled mannequins destined for retailers, artists, museums, and collectors. We also host flower crown workshops, creative events, and community programs that invite people to see mannequins in entirely new ways.
