  • Working Proof Studios is a Toronto rental photography studio designed to meet the needs of the most demanding photographers.

    Formerly studio204, we've built a brand new space at Dundas and Carlaw. We took what we learned from the old location and designed the ideal studio space for the photographer, client and model.

    Best of all, we've kept our rates low and we don't charge for equipment, so you can build your portfolio without worrying about your wallet.

    As photographers ourselves, we love shooting here and we think you will too.
