Motorista Studios

Motorista Studios is a photo and film studio housed in a former aerodrome hangar, marked by a large red barn-door entrance and an industrial single-volume interior.

Venue highlights: The studio provides an open-plan, hangar-style interior and an upstairs mezzanine that creates a separate working or viewing area. A bar/food-stall area and fixed seating are installed as venue features. Onsite event services are offered by the venue.

Best for: Vehicle and product photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and music-video or branded-content productions that require a flexible industrial interior and space for set builds.

Location: East York neighbourhood presents an industrial streetscape that works well for exterior backdrops and discreet load-in. Free off-street parking and on-street parking are available for crew vehicles.

What guests say: The venue staff are accommodating and responsive during set-up and events. The venue is maintained and flexible, and it adapts well to themed or vintage events.
