Welcome to Industria

A creative hub that boasts two outposts: the iconic studios in Manhattan’s West Village and our current headquarters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Founded in 1991 by world renowned photographer Fabrizio Ferri, Industria revolutionized the photo and event industry as the first multi-studio complex of its kind in New York City.

An iconic staple for over 25 years, Industria continues to be a top destination for event and photo industry innovators. Offering remarkable and versatile facilities, Industria’s studios are designed for commercial photo shoots as well as a variety of exceptional special events including exhibitions, conferences, fashion presentations, trade shows and pop-ups. 

Industria’s West Village location is only steps away from the Whitney Museum, Hudson River Park and the High Line. The Williamsburg studios, which currently offer two locations, are nestled under the Williamsburg Bridge, near the new waterfront Domino Park and only one subway stop away from Manhattan.

1983 - Fabrizio Ferri Founds industria SuperStudio in Milan

1983

Fabrizio Ferri founds Industria Superstudio in Milan

The brainchild of photographer Fabrizio Ferri, the original Industria Superstudio was founded in Milan in 1983. His vision was to create an innovative studio complex that would attract top international photographers at the nexus of Italian fashion. With its opening at the time, the studios revived the surrounding industrial neighborhood paving the way for a thriving community unlike any that existed before.

1991

Industria opens in the West Village

After the success of the Milan space, Ferri brought his groundbreaking concept across the Atlantic. As with its Milan counterpart, Industria’s stateside location was the first full-service photographic studio complex of its kind in the country.

Ferri established Industria in a former 1910s auto shop in the West Village, then a gritty neighborhood, which has now become one of the most coveted zip codes in the city. After opening its doors, Industria quickly became the ‘it’ place to be for the top creative talent in Manhattan.

The industrial, minimalist facility served as a blank canvas that artists could transform to fit their needs, while its full-service studio offerings allowed photographers the convenience of having everything they needed under one roof.
