Knoxville Rentable Photography Studio | January 2023 Recap
Opening our Knoxville Photography Studio in January
Whoa! What a month! We got the keys to the building on December 1st and opened our photography studio quickly thereafter in January. We have felt so thankful for the overwhelming encouragement from the Knoxville photographer community about this space. Here’s a brief look at what we’ve been up to this month.
Photographer Open House at the Studio
On January 14th, we hosted a “Studio Sip & See” event for local Knoxville photographers. We celebrated with K Brew coffee, Ham N’ Goodys cookies, & other fun treats! Over 60 photographers RSVPed to the event & we enjoyed providing headshots for all who wanted them.
We were encouraged by the turnout and loved hearing everyone’s feedback on what they would ideally like to use our photography studio for & gathered ideas for ways to continue to improve the space. It was cool seeing photographers stick around to connect with each other and talk shop about the industry. Knoxville has such an amazing creative community!
New Studio Member | Reed Schick
We offer monthly studio memberships for Knoxville photographers who produce studio content on a regular basis as a way to offer a more affordable package option.
This month we welcomed Knoxville photographer Reed Schick to the HighLight family. Reed utilizes the studio for commercial, lifestyle, music, & branding photography. Check out his site to see more of his incredible work!
When we asked Reed what inspires him creatively, he said: “I watch a lot of different films and movies for inspiration on color, vibe, and composition. Traveling and being on the road always gets me going, but honestly what inspires me the most is conversations with other creatives and going out and making amazing photographs.” We’re so glad to have you, Reed!
Studio Photography at HighLight in January
Local Knoxville photographers created a lot of cool work at our studio this month. We love featuring what people make in our space & will regularly update featured work on this page of our website.

What’s new in the studio?
Honestly, what isn’t new at this point? We are improving the space & adding new styling pieces to the studio weekly. With that said, we LOVE hearing from you about what you want to see & have in the studio.
A few recent highlights:
New brackets mounted to the wall with removable rod for hanging seamless paper & backdrops directly on the wall
Coffee bar - for both you & your clients to use!
Bluetooth speaker to connect to & play music during your rental
Lots of chairs! Mirrors, rugs, & plants!
We’re currently working on a little “prop catalog” of sorts to share on our website & social media so you can see what’s available to use for your sessions.
Stay Tuned for What’s Next
We’ll be regularly sharing the incredible work that local Knoxville photographers are creating in our space as well as updates on the photography studio itself. We are making improvements to the space & adding new styling pieces regularly.
Thanks for being here!
