I had a great experience shooting at The Lightroom in Athens! I came up from Atlanta for a maternity session for my friend and Guillermo, the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful. He gave me a full tour of the space and equipment, and made sure we had everything we needed, gave us ample time to set up and breakdown — even provided us a custom color backdrop for the photoshoot! The studio is beautiful, well-equipped, and perfect for both natural light and studio work. I’ll definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience working with The Lightroom Athens! Guillermo, Wendy, and their entire team are incredibly talented and truly great at what they do. This was our first time diving into podcasting, and they made the entire process enjoyable and stress free. From filming, lighting, and audio to post production editing, everything was handled with professionalism and skill. Scheduling was always easy, and they consistently offered creative ideas for our room setup. I highly recommend them for any videography or photography needs and am confident you will not be disappointed.

I was recently helping a friend with a home studio project and the area of lighting was totally outside of my wheelhouse. Surprisingly with Athens being a creative town, it was difficult to find a company or individual with a the depth and breadth of experience to help in this area Fortunately I came across a new business that had recently opened in Athens – The Lightroom – ATH. This business fills a hole that I had felt for a long time since moving to Athens in 1994 – the lack of any production facilities, either private or public access, for video and audio creatives. I paid a visit to the company, located on Oneta Street, to meet them and find out who set up their studios and lighting. It turned out they designed their own system, which makes sense since the owners were experienced documentary filmmakers who had moved to Athens from New York City in 2020. I inquired if I could contract with them to help with the lighting for my friend, and the said “for sure” without hesitation. We entered into a contract and within 4-6 weeks we had a system designed, installed, and tested. To say that the owners, Wendy Muniz and Guillermo Zouain, care about their customers would be an understatement. They quickly understood the need, the technical requirements, and things about the project that would require additional soft skills not normally seen in a project like this. They stepped up and leaned in, making the project a success, and did not hesitate to follow-up when we needed to do some additional tweaks and testing. Wendy did not even flinch (at least to me) when I discovered I had accidentally grabbed her cell phone when I left a meeting! It is very rare that a rate any company five stars (and I mean REALLY rare), but I have no hesitation in doing so here on behalf of my self and my friend. The Lightroom has succeeded in bringing much needed production infrastructure and a supportive environment for video and podcast creatives in the greater Athens area who might want to walk and learn on somebody else’s equipment before making the leap to invest in their own. Finally, I also want to give a shout-out to their in-house Director of Photography and gaffer Jordan Whitfield. The young man was part of the installation and testing team, but that is not all I learned about this young man. He is a very talented, up-and-coming photographer and videographer.

Such a great place! The owners were so helpful in my rental process and were so engaging to talk to! For my first visit, it truly was a pleasure to be there and learn more about The Lightroom and what they bring to Athens, especially to students. I can't wait to rent from them again and for future projects to come!

The Lightroom Athens is a fantastic, trustworthy place to get your camera gear and rent studio space. Wendy and Guillermo are incredibly accommodating and answered all my questions (and there were a lot, trust me) about what gear would be best for the event I was filming and the process for renting. It is very easy to pickup and drop-off. I have worked with The Lightroom on multiple occasions over the past few months and have never been disappointed.

Working with The Light Room was a great experience. Wendy, Guillermo and their team are professional, creative and so easy to collaborate with. The quality of the final video was perfect — perfectly shot, edited, with great sound quality. Highly recommend The Light Room for quality video work – they’re also really nice!

Working with Wendy Muñiz and Guillermo Zouain, owners of The Lightroom Athens, has been a fantastic experience. Their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional people skills consistently exceeded expectations. They are genuinely the best creative partner one can wish for. Over the past year, I worked with them on three very different projects: professional portraits, editorial photographs of my recently published book, and the production of 11 individual podcasts as part of a final assignment for a graduate course. Wendy and Guillermo made the entire process of my professional portraits smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable—no small achievement for someone who doesn’t typically feel at ease in front of a camera. Their ability to create a relaxed atmosphere while maintaining the highest standards of technical quality resulted in photographs that were polished, professional, and captured my personal and professional essence! The attention to detail, creativity, and care they put into aligning the visuals with my book’s tone and message in the editorial photographs of my academic book were truly impressive! They brought the book to life in a way that felt both vibrant, attractive, and intellectually resonant. They understood the balance between academic seriousness and creative visual storytelling, and the final images are stunning! The most logistically complex project was the podcast production of 11 graduate students. However, at no point did it feel like a challenge: their organizational and interpersonal skills were unparalleled. Wendy and Guillermo were patient, encouraging, and highly skilled in drawing out the best from each student. They created an environment that was both professional and supportive, making even the most nervous contributors feel confident. The final audio quality and editorial work were top-tier, and the students were thrilled with the outcome. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for anyone seeking a creative studio that blends technical excellence with a genuine human touch! I look forward to my next collaboration with them! They are a true gem in Athens, GA!

I worked with The Lightroom shooting FAQ videos for my website. They were easy to work with, reasonably priced and the videos looked great. I plan on working with them again.

We had a client who received a last-minute celebrity podcast interview in Athens and we needed a team we could trust to run the show without my team being there. Wendy and her team went above and beyond to make sure that they captured quality content while keeping the privacy and confidentiality of our guest. They delivered flawless on-site execution for us in a tough location and we will absolutely be working with them again.

Lightroom Athens is such a gem! Wendy and Guillermo are incredibly nice and welcoming, and they made our whole experience so enjoyable. We went for their “Knit Happens” photo session, and it was so much fun. And they delivered the pictures quickly, which we really appreciated. We also had a few mins to tour the space while we were there. There are 2 podcast studios and a cyc room, which is where we did our photos. They also offer equipment rental. The whole vibe of the place is super cool! Lightroom Athens is a fantastic addition to the Athens community. Highly recommend checking it out.
