Arch Photo Studio

A flexible photo studio hire 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.

Our aim is to provide a large, central but affordable south London photo studio hire space for photographers, creatives, and small business owners. We have flash and continuous lighting that is included in the rental price.

We only charge for the paper if you insist on a pristine new section. Basically, it’s a photography space set up by a photographer for creative people. You just need to bring your own camera or photographer. Consider the benefits of using a studio for your next shoot.

Photo Studio Floor Plan

This is my own studio and you are using the kit I use for my own portrait and product photography. It’s not as plush as some of the larger London photography studios, but I don’t charge the same rates as them and everything is inclusive with no hidden extras. I’m also on hand to help if required for a small additional fee. You also have access to all the tools and props I’ve accumulated at no extra cost.

Please Note

The studio isn’t soundproofed and it’s a railway arch so there is train noise on a regular basis. It’s not suitable for shooting long sequences. The photography studio is only suitable for strobe or continuous light work as there is no natural light.
