In New York, timing is everything. Event season brings a whirlwind of fashion shows, launches, and editorial campaigns—and brands need more than just a venue. They need a space that can evolve with them from planning to execution.

More Than a Studio

Contra isn’t just a place to shoot—it’s a space designed for production, rehearsal, activations, and live events. Our private Chelsea floor is fully equipped to transition seamlessly from editorial set to VIP dinner, or from green screen production to brand launch party.

We’ve built a space where creativity and logistics work hand in hand.

Why Creatives Choose Contra

  • 360° Flexibility: Cyc walls, daylight studios, soundstage, and event-ready spaces in one location.
  • Exclusive Access: A private floor means your team works without distractions.
  • Production Meets Hospitality: We don’t just rent space—we help you run the show.
  • Trusted by Industry Leaders: Fashion houses, tech brands, and cultural tastemakers have used Contra to stage their most important moments.

The Event Season Advantage

As NYFW, art fairs, and holiday launches take over the city, Contra offers something rare: a home base where teams can shoot campaigns, rehearse presentations, and then host the main event—all under one roof.

Instead of piecing together multiple venues, brands streamline their entire activation at Contra, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and style from start to finish.

Book Before the Season Closes Out

Our calendar is filling with editorial shoots, live streams, and fashion presentations, but a few key dates remain open. For brands looking to stand out this season, Contra Studios is more than a space—it’s your partner in production and experience.
