Studios that
sell themselves by the hour.
Rental spaces are booked over the phone, times get confused, slots sit as taken without being paid for. Here's how Mountify handles hourly booking with prepayment so your studios start selling themselves.

01 · The usual picture Studios sit idle
Studios sit idle
on ghost bookings.
Rental by phone
'Is the studio free Saturday from 2?' — open the notebook, count hours, call back. Confusion over time leads to two shoots overlapping in one studio.
Booked — not paid
A photographer reserves a slot 'just in case' and disappears. The studio shows as taken but sits empty — and the real client leaves unable to book.
Different studios
Studios differ in lighting, backdrop and props. Explaining the difference over the phone is hard — clients book the wrong studio and are disappointed on arrival.
02 · What usually gets set up Four things —
Four things —
and the studios sell themselves.
01
Online hourly studio booking
The photographer picks a studio, day and hours, sees live availability. Overlaps are impossible; a large share of bookings come in without a call.

Prepayment at booking
A studio is locked only after online payment. Ghost bookings disappear — the slot goes to whoever is actually coming to shoot.
