Love this! I have a mini version of this studio done. Like….the size of 2 of your rooms. But none of the large props. So awesome and very inspirational!
Amazing lighting!
The lighting is superb 🙂 I love it. Good Job Yuri
Это ну очень круто! Где берут такие деньги на такую студию и её содержимое?

Hi Yuri, Do you need someone to help you… ?
The future is in the hands of our imagination !
Great Job !
Cool! And this is in Denmark? :,D And Yuri Danish too? His name doesn't sound very Danish, but his accent does a bit. :3 Respect for the guy! Good work!
So basically Yuri took IKEA, put in a casino and a hospital and turned it into a photostudio… Well played!
Agreed. Look, I know we're all upset that photography as an art form doesn't sell as well as we'd like. It's hard to make a business off of artistic photography. But face it: all art forms are similar in this respect.
Photography is about capturing light. This can be done for artistic and/or for practical purposes. Yuri Arcurs is just taking photography and applying it in an industrial perspective. There's nothing wrong with that. You may not agree with it– I don't either– but it IS valid.
Lots of jealous people in the comments below
ok, so yes, they are stuff that appears in magazine. It still is "art" because you have to know what your clients will buy. He's making money because he gives the people that buy these types of photos, exactly what they want. That's smart…
@Superphilipp That;s the whole point. He works for stocks only. He doesn't do any art. And he earns something like $1000000 per year..
Well done Yuri, well done. I know it's not easy having a facility like that, it's not easy getting it, and it's not easy keeping it.
I wish you all the best.
Yuri,
Very nice facility, what kind of building are you in there? How's about a shot of the outside? Again amazing!
..do you have any friends… other that the mirror?
@hutteritekelly Well, it's like all businesses. Supply what's sells the most… But I guess that’s what you mean – sick of people wanting to buy stale photos. 🙂

I hate advertising, its full of shit……..Still we all need to make a living….!
Arcus is like McDonalds or KFC.
There are some great chefs and authentical cuisine in this world, and then there is tasteless shitty junkfood.
There are some great photographers in this world, and then there is Arcus…
omg who cleans that ?
Boring & pointless…! This is not what Photography is about.
@sharpen77
There is only so much 1 man can do.
this is wrong in so may ways…. i am gonna go puke
Wow!.
I only would like to know who is your benchmark Yuri?.
It is very impressive what you got there. Congrats.
Now that's what i call an investment.
Awesome vid bro
You sound like a jealous idiot with a chip on your shoulder.. Yuri has identified a market and captured it with great zest and ambition… I guess you probably still shoot film slides and think the industry can pay out of their noses for your work! Forget it pal, the days where Getty were buying up stock companies for millions are over… Microstock is the way forward so get over your obvious snobbish attitude.
Wow, that's some big ass studio.
That's what you need to do to sell the most in stock photography. If you don't shoot it that way you don't sell that much. He has more than 740000 sales in istock. (insurance companies, etc, buy their photos from stock photo websites)
Supper! Very nice work! Clean, big and Pro.
I love this man, he really is my idol. I started shooting stock photos, because I was inspired by him. Thank you!
Thank you for all the videos
it's really good …
but i dont like how he was takin and throwin all the stuff back…
and i dont like how it's too white
I don't like his work. The studio and the photos look bland, streamlined, sterile and forced. The kind of pictures that appear in insurance companies' brochures. Which they probably do, so I guess that's fine.
I find that a bit prejudicial.
That's like bashing someone for trying to have a proper accent in English.
My opinion is that you can take whatever accent you find yourself most comfortable with and this shouldn't be limited by your georgraphical area.
he is supposed to have a European accent in english ( specifically a scandi accent with british influences) . Scandi accent is fine as far as I am concerned .Americans with their irish accent are not the reference when it comes to proper anglosaxon elocution and grammar constructions.I also laugh my arse off when I hear Filipinos emulate the texan twang, high pitched voices with outdated vernicular english are a very bad mix.and why is it that is on putting oil on those "R" anyway .
Fake American?
So anyone not born in the USA is supposed to have a strong foreign accent or something?
I think it is big ^^
thanks i'll go check him out. and ditto to the fact that it doesn't distract from the dialogue.
that studio looks like a mid size shopping center.
Yuri please, please drop the fake American accent it grates my nerves aarrgh !!!!!
its jazzy soul buddy, you should check the instru versions of Guru Jazzmatazz's albums , you will be carried away. I like the fact that it doesn't distract from the main focus.photography.
How can he work is such a studio sooo small… =)
amazing, breathtaking
dude i love the audio to this track. it's so chill and jazzy with a touch of sophistication.
it's like heaven.
wow Yuri! never realised that you had this kind of set up! you truely are the master of stock photography! and yet seem like such an easy to get on with guy. love the work and videos please keep it up.
ps who do you idolise as a photographer?
