Please Note
While our studio is perfect for photography and videography, it isn’t soundproof. Being situated in a railway arch, there’s regular train noise, so it’s not ideal for recording long audio sequences. The photography studio is only suitable for strobe or continuous light work as there is no natural light.
Music video and commercial filming shoots are charged at the higher £60 rate per hour as lighting assist is mandatory on these. The only exception to this is if you bring your own lights and rigging.
Backdrops, Props & Sets
Our studio is your ultimate creative playground! We’ve got a sturdy white MDF stage and a super handy back wall where you can attach all sorts of props and setups to bring your vision to life. And when it comes to backdrops, you’re spoiled for choice—with around 20 different options! From clean classics like white, mid-greys, and deep charcoal to bold colors like pink, yellow, red, purple, and a spectrum of blues, there’s something to match every vibe. See the full list of paper backdrop here.
For smaller product photography, we’ve got your back with tabletop supports and sheet materials that make setup a breeze. And here’s a little secret: the studio also moonlights as my workshop, fully equipped with tools and various materials you need for set building. If you’ve got a unique idea, let’s chat—we’re here to help you make it happen.
Need to create a cozy, moody space? We’ve got props, fabrics, and four poly board stands perfect for transforming the studio. Pair those with lightweight rigging system for hanging fabrics and you can craft intimate setups where all the focus is on your subject.

When you choose me and my studio, you’re not just getting great photos—you’re getting a smooth, creative, and hassle-free experience. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life! We offer a creative, client-friendly service and go the extra mile to ensure your photo or video shoot goes smoothly.
How It Started
Our studio started out as a scruffy old railway arch, but we’ve turned it into a fully kitted-out studio and workshop. We also run an online shop for exhibition display gear from here. When the pandemic hit, it shook up our display business, so we leaned into photography—a hobby since 2005—and started renting the space to other creatives. It was the perfect way to keep going and share the space with like-minded folks!
Photo Studio Floor Plan
Welcome to my studio! You’ll be working with the same gear I use for my own portrait and product photography. It’s not as flashy as some of the bigger London studios, but it’s affordable, straightforward, and everything’s included—no sneaky extra costs. Need a hand with lighting? I’m happy to help for a small fee. Plus, you’ll have full access to all the tools and props I’ve collected over the years, completely free. Got any questions? Please get in touch – I’m here to help!
