So, we're officially official. You've booked The Darkroom for your next project. We're excited + honored you've chosen us and can't wait see what you create.

Accessing The Darkroom

There are two different rooms, each with its own entrance. When you arrive, check the door to make sure you’re entering the space that you’ve reserved, as there may be a reservation in progress in the other room.

If it's your first time renting The Darkroom, someone will be onsite to connect with you and give you a brief tour.

Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your reservation begins. Keep in mind that there is most likely a reservation before and after you, so timeliness is of the essence.

Address: 2914 Stanley Ave #100 or #108. Room 1 = 100. Room 2 = 108.

FAQ

Q: What if I need to cancel or move my reservation?

A: We get it, life happens. If you find yourself needing to reschedule your reservation please note there will be a 30% rescheduling fee. No rescheduling will be accepted within 24 hours of reservation start time.

Q: What’s the parking situation?

A: We have over 30 (lit at night) parking spots available for you to park.

Q: What’s the trash situation?

A: We have a small trash can available, but please take larger trash with you when you leave. There’s a dumpster in our parking lot you may use to dispose of larger trash items. You are responsible for returning the studio to its original condition. Otherwise, there will be a $40 cleaning fee.

Q: What’s your COVID policy?

A: We thoroughly sanitize all hard surfaces after every reservation and have hand sanitizer available. We also ask that you abide by Fort Worth city ordinances. We’ll keep things clean on our end, but we’d encourage you to take whatever precautions you feel are necessary for you and your client. Face coverings are required upon arrival.

Q: Can I arrive early to set up before my clients arrive?

A: The space will be unlocked no earlier than 10 minutes before your reservation begins. We often have back to back reservations and operate as a community space, so please be considerate of others and prepare to wrap up your shoot before your time slot ends.

Q: What amenities are included in my reservation?

A: Furniture + props, Topo + water in the fridge, and the bathroom are all included and available to you during your reservation! Our furniture changes seasonally, so if you’re counting on using a certain piece during your shoot, we’d suggest reaching out beforehand to see if it’ll be there or bring your own.

Q: How far out can I book?

A: You can book up to 180 days out.

Q: Do you have lighting equipment?

A: Yes and no. We’re a natural light studio, so we’ll let our massive windows do the talking on this one. However, we do have 2 Quasar Science T8 Tubes (4000K + 5800K) included in your reservation that you are welcome to use! Note: if it’s cloudy or dark outside you won’t have natural light.

Q: Can I book a tour of The Darkroom?

A: Due to COVID, we are not currently offering tours. However, we’ve put together some highlights on our Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/thedarkroomfw/) to give you a solid idea of each space, almost like a virtual tour. You can also find photos on our website of both rooms.

Q: How many people can I bring with me?

A: While we love hosting small gatherings, we’d ask you cap your headcount at 15 people per reservation for Room #1 and 20 for Room #2.

Q: Where in Fort Worth are you located?

A: We are 3 miles (5 min) south of downtown Fort Worth + 2 miles east of TCU. There’s great food options + coffee off Magnolia Ave just a short drive away.
