Robbie was very helpful while we were shooting and we got some really good shots. There were loads of props available and all the equipment we needed. Will definitely be booking again

The venue was very well equipped and decent size (more sizeable than it seems in the pictures). Robbie was punctual, affable, attentive and helpful throughout the day. He was committed to helping us get the lighting and setups we needed for our shoot, even providing set dressing when possible. Highly recommended.

Robbie is extremely helpful - he assisted with lights and gave us many options we could explore to enhance our image composition. He had every utensil and tool to assist with the shoot as well. The studio also has lots of props, backgrounds, and equipment which allowed us to experiment more. The walls are quite high and the location is spacious.
The only issue with the location was accessibility getting there via train. There are accessible bus routes but no nearby stations. There is also the occasional rumble from the trains above which didn’t affect our photoshoot, but would make video and sound recording harder.

Arch Photo Studio is a flexible studio space located in a 1200sq ft railway arch off Camberwell Road in south London. Approx 800sq ft of the arch space has been set up for photography and videography. When normal times return it will also be suitable for running practical workshops and events.

My aim is to provide an affordable south London photo studio hire space for photographers, creatives, and small business owners who lack their own lighting kit. We have flash and continuous lighting that is included in the rental price, they just need a camera / their own photographer. Basically, it's a space to be creative set up by a photographer.
