A photo and video studio in Mokattam
Obscura is a cyclorama studio in Mokattam, Cairo — a white infinity wall, a full blackout and a lighting grid for photo, film, music video and podcast work.
Why shoot in Mokattam
Mokattam sits on the plateau above Maadi, between Nasr City and New Cairo, so crews come in from across eastern and southern Cairo without crossing downtown. The studio is built for working, not for passing trade: a closed space you can black out completely and light from scratch.
What people shoot here
- Commercials and brand films on the white cyclorama.
- Fashion, portrait and e-commerce photography.
- Music videos that need full control of the light.
- Podcasts, interviews and social content.
What you get at the studio
- 120 m² of floor with a 7 m white infinity cyclorama.
- A 5 m ceiling with a rigging grid, and 100% blackout on all sides.
- Dressing and makeup room, lounge, air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
- Three-phase power for heavy lighting, and ground-floor load-in.
- Parking at the studio.
