3,000 square foot professional photography studio with a large open space, photo lighting equipment, backdrops, and a kitchen area at the back.

THE SPACE

Our open plan studio space with customisable kitchen sets and overhead lighting rig is perfect for large scale TV ads, photography shoots or short form recipe videos.

The ready-to-use sets are perfect for turn up and play projects. Switch on the lighting with a swipe of the iPad and you’re good to go.

We’re not wall to wall sets though. We left the space open to allow for custom set builds, car photography and more.
