History

1950 — 1975

Louis Mayo and Martin Helfer establish Mayo Studios at 9 East 19th street in New York City. They develop a reputation as a trusted resource for furniture and textile manufacturers and retailers as Louis identifies the power of creating location-like sets in studio. Louis sets a high bar for creative excellence and serves some of the top brands in the industry.

1975 — 1993

Mark Mayo joins the company and the studio expands to 18,000 sq ft at 475 10th Avenue in New York City. Mark broadens the studio client base to include The JC Penney Catalog and establishes the studio’s capabilities required to accommodate large-scale production for demanding retail clients. Mark personally reviews the photography in order to maintain a high quality standard, at scale.

Louis Mayo passes away in 1993.

1993 — 2007

A new chapter begins when Sandy Mayo joins the studio, broadens the client base, and attracts discerning brands and retailers. Sandy transforms the studio production workflow by inviting clients to attend photoshoots, spearheading a new style of creative collaboration at Mayo Studios.

Mayo Studios relocates to a 33,000 sq ft. studio space in Long Island City, NY. Under Mark and Sandy’s leadership, the studio pioneers large format digital photography: becoming one of the first major studios to implement this new technology.

The creative production team at Mayo Studios expands to include Stylists, Photographers, Carpenters and Post-Production Artists — further elevating the caliber of work the studio produces.

2007 — 2015

Mayo Studios welcomes a Creative & Branding Services team, led by the studio’s new Creative Director, Mickey Mayo.

Mayo Studios launches House: a rotating series of sets in studio reserved by the day or week for streamlined production. Studio clients benefit from the efficiencies made possible by these versatile sets.

Toni Mayo joins Mayo Studios, focusing on client relationships and strategic business development.

2015 —

Mayo expands with a new 3D Visualization department, creating photorealistic images with a specialized focus on residential and commercial interiors. Clients increasingly seek 3D-generated images and Mayo is well-positioned to deliver with the team and infrastructure needed. Mayo begins to provide 3D imagemaking services to new industries and delivers thousands of renderings a year.

Mayo relocates to a sunny, 20,000 sq ft. Photo, Video and 3D Visualization studio at 32-00 Skillman Avenue in Long Island City.
