Michelle Jarni January 30, 2023

Space was so versatile, so much natural light, and Malvina was a joy to work with. Would definitely re-use this space.

Jacqui Rowe January 23, 2023

Such a gorgeous studio with great service and beautiful lighting! I loved it so much and will be booking with Bohemia Bay again for sure! It is my favourite studio in Melbourne 🤍

Molly Burmeister November 30, 2022

It was a pleasure working with Malvina / Bohemia Bay! They took the time to truly understand our brand and our requirements and delivered exceptional product photography! Malvina was professional and responsive, and made the process clear and seamless. I would highly recommend Bohemia Bay and look forward to working with them again soon!

Kirsten Forgione October 22, 2022

Bohemia Bay Studio is stunning, it has the perfect mixture of natural lighting but also great for studio lighting. Malvina was a dream to work with, nothing was too much for her and she worked well with me and Lauren (her photographer on the day) to provide the best possible images. Not only were they both extremely professional but they were prompt with editing and also were super fun to work with on the day! I have another shoot booked for this week and I dare say it won’t be the last!

Lisa Cubitt October 20, 2022

Beautiful studio, has everything you need ! Very specious and clean. Great location. Malvina was very friendly with us and we felt welcome. Thank you Bohemia Bay for having us, definitely will be back again!!! 🫶🏻

Yulia Sprenger October 18, 2022

I am so impressed with Bohemia Bay Studio and the customer service from Aimee and Malvina! Their quick responses and attention to detail was so appreciated. I’m a portrait photographer and recently shot here with a client. Besides being a gorgeous studio space with a variety of backdrops, stools, couches and props to use, they’re also one of the only studios in Melbourne that are wheelchair accessible. I love that this studio is accessible for everyone. We really appreciated this as my client is a wheelchair user. I will absolutely be back. I love this space. Thank you ladies!

Emma Veness September 20, 2022

Charlie Traynor July 17, 2022

We had the most amazing experience shooting at Bohemia Bay! Malvina helped us make the process so easy to book and execute. We had a great shoot day and was able to get everything we needed for our campaign with amazing support from the Bohemia Bay team. I could not recommend this studio enough for all your photography needs. We will definitely be using the studio again :)

Great space with friendly and flexible service. Lots of extras were available also including backdrops. Space was perfect for the shoot we had with 6 of us moving around without being over the top of each other. Would definitely recommend.

We have used BB multiple times. Great service, and very highly skilled photographers.

Chris T March 27, 2022

Bohemia Bay is quickly becoming my home away from home! As a small business owner, it has been so amazing to find a go to studio that has everything I need for my shoots. Malvina is always so helpful even when I throw last minute bookings at her. Couldn't recommend any higher.

danielac1996 May 8, 2019

I love Bohemia Bay Creative Studio! The natural light is great, but it's so helpful to have amazing lighting equipment available to use! It was so convenient to have a make-up space for our artist, too. Malvina was friendly and was happy to answer any questions. Hire prices are pretty reasonable too! I'd definitely go back!

Amazing studio, lots of natural light, great location, very helpful crew. Excellent hire price includes the essentials for a studio shoot -- lights, props, the works! Will definitely come back!

Arvin Coloma February 7, 2019

Such a beautiful space to work in and very easy to get to. Malvina is very approachable and happily lets you work in your own space unlike other studio owners who might always be in the corner. Every prop, backdrop, lighting equipment you could possibly need is all there, and its a very reasonable hire price. Will definitely shoot more of my work in this studio. Great for product photography, portraiture, branding shoots etc.

Kat Kutchel February 6, 2019

Nice cozy photostudio for shooting on a backdrops) Very friendly staff, I recommend.

I found my experience working in this beautiful stylish and light filled studio highly valuable. It was run professionally and we were made to feel at home and looked after with warm friendly care. Highly recommend!!

Nebahat Erpolat November 21, 2018

Bohemia Bay is one of my favourite studios to shoot at in Melbourne. It’s light filled, fully equipped and delightfully furnished. The owner, Malvina, is a treat to deal with. Being a photographer herself, she understands all creatives needs and is very accommodating. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Well equipped, light and airy studio. A delight to use.
