Location and Set

I want to shoot my project at the MARJCC's art studio. The only issue I may face is with either lighting or location in the area since it is a filled and "messy" art room. There are white walls to take pictures on but the lighting there is not the best so I would have to take that into account before that day of the photoshoot. The location is on a private property, but there is no need for permission since I am not advertising for the JCC. I did get permission from the head of the art department for his feature and to take photos.
