Good questions

Can I bring my own kit?

Of course. Plenty of photographers and videographers book the space only. A basic lighting setup is included either way.

What's the space best for?

Headshots and portraits, full-length green screen, talking heads, showreels, promos, podcasts and vocals. With a 2.4m ceiling it isn't suited to high camera angles, overhead lighting rigs or jumps and lifts.

Can I book evenings and weekends?

Yes. The studio is available 24/7 by arrangement, so early starts and late finishes are no problem.

Is the studio accessible?

The studio isn't step-free. If access is a concern, get in touch before booking and we'll talk it through.

How do I secure a booking?

Send us your dates and we'll confirm availability within one working day. A deposit secures your slot, and we'll send our hire terms with your booking confirmation.
