Since its inception, Studio Ricardo Berisso has been making original advances in style, pushing services and employing new technologies to stay ahead of the competition.

The studio complex has been completely renovated to expand the creative space by 40%. A client area, an enlargement of the floorspace in the main studio, the addition of another smaller gallery on the second floor, and a meeting room have created a whole new dimension to the style and feel of the studio facilities.

Studio Ricardo Berisso is available to rent for film and photo productions. In-house photography services are also available.

Check the website and see pictures of the studio to get a better idea of what is available.
