About us

Why we do what we do

Company Mission

At The OSS, our name reflects our belief in the transformative power of storytelling – just like the origin stories of superheroes, everyone has a unique tale waiting to be told. We’re on a mission to refine Edmonton’s creative landscape by empowering individuals to express themselves more authentically and impactfully.

We understand that art is more than a luxury – it’s a vital expression of humanity. That’s why we’ve created a space that goes beyond traditional studios. Our meticulously designed sets provide a canvas for your imagination to flourish, while fostering a supportive and collaborative community.

Above all, our mission is to cultivate a welcoming, judgement-free zone where your creativity can thrive. We believe taking the leap into the creative process is often the most important step, and sometimes the scariest!

Having said that, we encourage you to embrace the process, for creativity is a muscle that strengthens with use. And there no such thing as doing it wrong anyways, just opportunities to learn, grow, and unleash your inner superhero.

What everyone’s talking about

Testimonials

I really love the studio for how easy it makes filming content for my business! I can always count it being clean and I love the sets that are available to me.

If I had to do this from home, I know I would be spending more time on preparing my space than recording. What a game changer!!

I’m overjoyed that we decided to go with The OSS for our event! Looking through these pictures now, it’s amazing how they instantly transport me back to that special day.

It’s like reliving all those wonderful moments. The attention to detail and the way the photos capture the atmosphere is truly remarkable. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

Totally obsessed with how these branding pictures turned out!

My photographer rented out a bunch of equipment from the studio, I channeled my inner model, and holy smokes I love looking at these pictures of myself!!

I can’t wait to get back in the studio and play around with different lighting set ups.
