I have a photography studio; is it forbidden or permissible?
The ruling on photography studios depends on the ruling on photography itself and the nature of what is photographed. Photography studios often photograph and develop films that include forbidden images, such as nude pictures, and pictures from weddings and parties where women appear immodestly dressed. This is considered spreading corruption and aiding falsehood. If the owner of the studio can limit themselves to photographing only what is permissible, then they should do so. Otherwise, they must close the studio and seek permissible work, because limiting oneself to what is permissible in this field is often difficult. Examples of permissible photography include: photographing inanimate objects like trees and mountains, and photographing religious gatherings and lectures that are free from forbidden elements.
