Studio Guide
What to know before you book a session.
A practical reference on how hourly and daily hire works, what to bring, and the technical basics of the space.
Booking Flow
How an hourly or daily booking is arranged.
Describe The Shoot
Share the type of production, the shooting area you expect to need, and whether you're considering hourly or full-day hire.
Confirm Availability
The relevant shooting area, product station, or edit suite is checked against the calendar for your preferred date.
Arrange Extras
If needed, additional lighting, equipment rental, or crew are discussed and added to the booking ahead of time.
Confirm & Arrive
Details are confirmed in writing, and the studio is prepared for the shooting area, station, or configuration agreed in advance.
Technical Specifications
The basics, before you plan a layout.
| Area | Typical Use | Notable Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Cyclorama Area | Fashion, group shots, wide video | Seamless floor-to-wall cyclorama, height-adjustable rig |
| Flexible Set Area | Constructed sets, location-style backdrops | Modular lighting grid, open floor plan |
| Interview & Portrait Area | Talking-head video, headshots, close product work | Softer, more controlled lighting setup |
| Product Station | Catalogue and packaging photography | Motorised turntable with adjustable rotation speed |
| Post-Production Suite | Editing, colour correction, rough assembly | Dual-monitor workstations, on-site file access |
Exact dimensions and rig configurations can be confirmed when a booking is discussed, since availability of specific setups depends on the date and the other sessions scheduled around it.
Preparing For Your Session
A short checklist before arriving.
- Confirm which shooting area, or combination of areas, your booking covers
- Let us know in advance if you plan to use the hair and makeup corner
- Flag any additional equipment or crew needs before the day itself
- Bring reference images or a shot list if the shoot involves multiple setups
- Arrive with enough time for a short walkthrough if this is your first visit
Rescheduling & Changes
Plans change. That's fairly normal in production work.
If a shoot needs to move to a different date, or the scope changes after booking, it helps to raise this as early as possible so the relevant shooting area or crew member can be adjusted accordingly.
