Frequently Asked Questions

Haven't found what you're looking for? We're here to help.

How does the roller stand filming setup work?

We provide a mobile roller stand designed for social media and self-shooting. It includes a phone mount, a bi-colour LED light with adjustable brightness and colour temperature, and a screen you can connect to via USB-C or AirPlay so you can see yourself while filming. The stand is height-adjustable and easy to move, making it ideal for filming content on your own.

Can I stand on the steps next to the archway?

Yes, the steps are designed for posing and can safely be stood on, making them ideal for fashion, lifestyle, and beauty shoots.

We just ask that you use the set carefully, and do not run or jump on them.

What is the cyclorama?

The cyclorama, or infinity curve, is designed for full-body photography and video, eliminating shadows and giving a seamless transition from floor to wall.

To keep the surface clean and smooth, please do not step on the curved section of the wall and use the flat floor area only.

Can I use my phone to film content?

Absolutely! Studio 1 is designed with content creators in mind and works perfectly for phone and social media filming. With the roller stand lighting setup and multiple built-in backdrops, you can create professional-looking content without needing to bring your own equipment.

Can I bring my own lighting or equipment?

Yes, you're welcome to bring your own lights, cameras, and accessories. The studio has plenty of space and power available, whether you're shooting photography, video, or social content.

Can I rent additional equipment for my shoot?

Yes! We offer professional photography and video equipment, inlcuding cameras, lenses, lighting, and even tethered shooting setups.

Is there a space for hair & makeup?

Yes, we have a dedicated hair and makeup room with three professional stations. You're welcome to use the space yourself or bring your own hair and makeup artist.

If you need one or more stations, please let us know in advance when you book so we can reserve them for the duration of your booking.

Is there somewhere I can get changed?

Yes, studio 1 includes a small private changing ares with a curtain and mirror, so you can comfortably change outfits during your session. A mobile clothes rail is also available for hanging outfits, making it easy to steam and organise looks for fashion, beauty, or content shoots.
