About this space

The refurbished Manchester studio includes an infinity cove which is curved to the floor and ceiling creating the perfect backdrop for all areas of image making and benefits from the recent addition of a 3 tier colorama system for clients requiring a specific coloured paper background. As an open plan space the studio is ideal for fashion, portraits, product and video shoots and can be used to hold all types of castings.

Also included with the studio is a professional make up area with three day light mirrors ideal for make-up training and commercial shoots where more than one make- up artist is required. A changing room area with two steamers, iron and ironing board have been added to the studio floor along with a purpose made breakfast bar with kettle for convenience of tea breaks throughout the day.

Studio lighting is available for hire along with a number of items which are free with each booking, please see features for more details.
A communal kitchen with microwave can be located on the first floor allowing self catering for those clients requiring refreshments throughout the day and also provides an extra quiet seating area.
The entrance to Budget Studio Hire is at ground floor level providing easy access for large props making this the perfect hire studio at the perfect price!

The studio was lovely, really well lit with excellent equipment and responsive service ahead of the booking. The booking itself was only £120, which we felt was very reasonably priced. The facilities were great.
Not something that can be changed and perhaps it was just our team, but both the photographer and models found the location hard to get to.

Great little studio that is ideal for a professional photoshoot, really great with communicating and very fun laid back and easy going. If you like doing business with people who are professional but don’t take themselves serious at the same time this is the place. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Can’t fault anything.

- Good space to work in for a small studio.
- The studio was not completely soundproof.
