What STUDIO MAC MAHON does

Studio Mac Mahon operates a single physical photo and video studio at 25 rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth in Paris's Marais district (75003). The 115 m² space centers on a 3-sided cyclorama (35 m², 4.60 × 7 m) with 3.30 m ceiling height, polished concrete flooring, and three-phase 12 kA/phase power supply to support demanding production setups. The studio is equipped with two professional make-up stations, a private changing cabin, a styling area with racks and mirrors, and a lounge/catering area; professional lighting (Broncolor Scoro A4S, Profoto Pro-11, Dedolights HMI) and grip equipment are available as add-ons.

The studio serves fashion houses and luxury brands (Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Rolex, Louboutin, Boucheron, MCM, Francis Kurkdjian), mass-market fashion (Zara, H&M, Kappa, Sergio Tacchini), independent designers (Weinsanto, Magliano, Namesak3), and a broad set of editorial publications (Numéro, Elle, Grazia, Marie Claire, HTSI/Financial Times, Paris Match, Le Figaro, Mojeh). Use cases span fashion campaigns, lookbooks, packshots, editorial shoots, brand films, social content, castings, fittings, and press showrooms.

Revenue is generated through time-based studio rental on a direct B2B booking model (email, phone, website form), with inclusive amenities (set assistant, breakfast for six, basic facilities) bundled and professional equipment charged as add-ons. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The business was established circa 1954 per the Instagram bio, has been a reference address in the Parisian creative industry for nearly thirty years, and was fully reimagined in 2026; it is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
