Booked Photography Studio at Tradestars Islington - Bookable Spaces

5.0

For what it was I found it to be a really good studio for what I was paying it lacked a couple things but considering how cheap it was I can’t say I’m unhappy. The staff let me stay longer free of charge because they didn’t have anyone else booked for the day and were really helpful getting some extra stuff I needed like a stool and extension cord which was great.

We could not have been happier with the studio and the service Alexis gave. The space was just what we wanted, good facilities and room enough for all our team. Alexis went above and beyond at every stage, efficiently, effectively and kindly. His comms were instant and always helpful, with a totally 'can do' attitude and he also seemed interested and engaged in our campaign. We recommend 150%

On the day we were met by studio staff and they showed us everything that we would need for the booking, they were helpful and very friendly. The backdrops, lighting, props were excellent and the studio was perfect for my needs.
