Clay Cook is opening his studio to the public for the first time.

WHAT IS AN OPEN PORTRAIT SITTING?

It’s an open day of portrait sittings available to anyone who wants to be photographed. Each session is a focused, 10-minute block of time. For one day only, the studio will be open for eight hours, with one thoughtfully designed setup that produces multiple unique results with every snap of the shutter.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I SHOW UP?

You’ll be greeted by a host who will show you to a waiting room, once Clay is ready, the host will walk you into the studio space and you’ll leave with something creatively elevated and entirely your own. There's no hair and makeup team, no lengthy production. Just a short window of time used well.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Each sitting is $350 and includes a private online gallery and two finished, re-touched images. Additional images and re-touching are available for $50 each. Every image includes a personal publicity use license. All additional usage rights are available for purchase on a case-by-case basis.

CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME?

Yes. Each sitting can accommodate up to 4 people. The session length and price remain the same regardless of how many people sitting. Bring yourself or bring up to 4 people in the photo at the same time — couples, families, friends etc. This price does not cover separate individual shoots. it is one shared sitting.

WHERE IS THE STUDIO?

The studio is located in near the UofL Campus at the Reynolds Lofts — 2520 S. 3rd St., Unit 106, Louisville, KY 40208. Someone will be at the building entrance to greet you and walk you to the studio space — no need to figure out the building on your own.
