Some photos of our new Denver Colorado studio

I'm please to announce that Fenix Fotography will be relocating to Denver Colorado. I'm hoping they have folks in need of business portraits and head-shots, advertising agencies desperate for cool images, magazines and designers yearning for fashion, and sexy people of all types hungary for boudoir. Oh yeah, and the odd couple planning a fantastic wedding.


After a week-long secret mission to the Mile-High City, we located the perfect location for our new studio. Our new home will be in Denver's eclectic Highlands area--or more specifically the West or Lower Highlands. Or "LoHi" as the realtors have dubbed it. Realtors seem to do this everywhere--North Charlotte became "NoDa" then it seemed to grow all the way to Uptown as new condos and developments moved that way; "Southend" was always just the industrial part of Dilworth--no early 20th c. Charlottean would have been confused, but evidently it needed a new name when revitalization efforts began there a decade or more ago. But I digress.


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new place. It's a 19th c. Firehouse. If you know me at all I need not explain any more.


THESE ARE JUST SNAPSHOTS--NOT ARCHITECTURAL SHOTS. STILL, I TINK THEY GIVE A GOOD IDEA OF THE PLACE.

The original front facade of Highlands Firehouse No 5, built c. 1890. The two bays were where the two horse-drawn fire wagons would exit the building on their way to calls.

Today, the original front serves as side of the building, and a hedge blocks the historical view of the structure.

The blocked viwew does saden me slightly because the building has exceptional corbeling.

The present-day main entrance. Originally this was a side face. The re-entry door for returning horse-drawn fire wagons can be seen at the right.

Clients can park here or on the street.

The back (originally side) face. Mine is the upper deck. Perfect for parties and just relaxing with a glass of wine.

The main area which will house the shooting set.

The skyline view from our back deck!! About a mile to Lower Downtown. I'm hoping I can make this work for business portraits. and I can't wait to shoot it at a better time of day.

Basically, we're between down town and the majestic Rocky Mountains.
