What to Look for in a Photo Studio

Before you book, keep these essentials in mind to make sure the space fits your creative needs:

• Backdrops & Cyclorama Walls: Many Melbourne studios come with interchangeable paper or fabric backdrops, while others feature full cycloramas—ideal for fashion and editorial shoots. Some even offer green screen setups for commercial or video work.
• Props: Studios often include useful props like stools, ladders, glass prisms, fairy lights, and seasonal decor for flat lays or themed shoots.
• Lighting Equipment: Look for studios that offer softboxes, umbrellas, LED panels, or natural light setups depending on your style. Larger softboxes are best for wide angles or portraits, while smaller ones work for product shots.
• Tripods & Stands: A good tripod is non-negotiable for long sessions or when shooting video. Many studios provide these or offer rentals on-site.
• Extra Facilities: Consider practical extras like changing rooms, vanity stations with pro lighting, makeup areas, and kitchens—especially useful for longer or team-based shoots.
