Maple Recording Studio, Bellingham, WA
In 2023 I was invited to photograph the studio of the amazing Brooklyn Duo, Maple Recording Studio, in Bellingham, WA. They primarily use the space to film their music and videos and have recently opened it up for public use. As a musician myself, this was a dream shoot and a fun opportunity to mix my two passions, photography and music, into one session.
Here's a little more information about the space from their website:
"In 2021, we partnered with the internationally acclaimed studio design firm Haverstick Designs to design a one-of-a-kind recording studio in Bellingham, Washington, and Maple Recording was born. We set out to create an ideal space to record and film intimate chamber music, small ensemble, and piano recordings, and we think we accomplished our goal.
Along with Gavin Haverstick and his team, we created a room that was sonically free of any imperfections, while having a more “lively” sound than most other recording studios (which tend to sound dry). It was important to us that the room’s look be bright, airy, and understated - a place where we would feel comfortable creating music and that would visually translate well on camera. With Gavin, we spent countless hours designing our dream studio, and we couldn’t be happier with the result."
