A creative space with character: Studio hire in Colchester
Elevate your next shoot in a setting that inspires. Located in the heart of Colchester, Essex, our studio is housed in a restored Victorian grain warehouse, blending historic charm with the practicalities of a modern workspace.
Our upstairs studio is entirely private and not overlooked, giving you and your clients a focused, professional environment. Frame your subject against our industrial steel pillar to add architectural depth, or choose from our versatile wall finishes: classic white-painted brick, a contemporary grey feature wall, or our textured wallpapered backdrop. For a clean, seamless look, we provide white vinyl and black cotton backdrops as part of your hire. A variety of professional coloured paper rolls are also available for a small additional setup fee of £30
