Lumina Studio: Illuminating Your Creative Vision

Discover the passion, purpose, and people behind our premier photo studio rentals in the heart of Almaty.

Our Journey: From a Spark to a Studio

Lumina Studio Rentals was born from a shared dream among a collective of photographers, artists, and creatives in Almaty. In 2018, we recognized a growing need for a versatile, accessible, and inspiring space where visual storytellers could bring their ideas to life without the constraints of traditional, often cost-prohibitive, studio setups. Our founders, seasoned professionals like Aizhan Kadyrova and Timur Bekmanov, envisioned a place that wasn't just a rental space, but a community hub.

What began as a small, intimate studio in a refurbished industrial building in the Medeu district has blossomed into a leading destination for photography and videography in the region. We meticulously curated every aspect of Lumina Studio, from the industry-standard equipment available for rent to the diverse range of backdrops and lighting options. Our commitment has always been to provide a seamless and empowering experience for every client, whether they are a budding influencer, a seasoned fashion photographer, or a corporate team shooting promotional content.

We believe that the right environment can significantly elevate the creative process. That's why we've invested in creating spaces that are not only functional and equipped with state-of-the-art gear but also aesthetically pleasing and adaptable to a wide array of photographic needs. From minimalist product shoots to elaborate editorial spreads, Lumina Studio is designed to be your canvas.
