The Chocolate Factory Studio

Photo atelier inside a former chocolate factory

The Chocolate Factory Studio is our own photo atelier in Berlin-Tempelhof. The space is located inside a former chocolate factory and has the kind of character that cannot be rebuilt artificially: old brick walls, concrete structure, large windows, visible patina and an atmosphere somewhere between workshop, loft and production space.

The studio is not planned as a standard hourly rental studio. It is a special place for selected productions. We use the atelier ourselves for photo and video productions, portraits, fashion stories, content production, brand imagery and visual experiments. Client use is possible, but only by individual arrangement.

Part of the photographic work around this atelier is also connected to Richard Dragulejev Photography - featuring portrait, fashion and personal series from Berlin.

Use by arrangement

The strength of this place is its individuality: not a neutral standard space, but a real factory floor with structure, light and history. For every request, we clarify which setup, team size, motifs and production conditions make sense.

Prices, availability and conditions are discussed individually. This keeps the atelier controlled, flexible and suitable for productions where the space itself becomes part of the visual language.
