The different backgrounds, the studio space
One of the lights with the bulb was broken, and the chain for the white backdrop was also broken; I had to put the white backdrop back in place by hand. The fan should be cleaned or replaced with a new one; it is very heavy to move during the photoshoot. And there is no lights at all in the room, only using the one for the photoshoot

The space is exactly what you see in the pix. Easy in and out and Clarence was quick to respond to enquiries
It is on the 1st floor but if you have a lot of equipment then dragging it up the stairs is a pain. Just be aware of this. A poly board or two would be a huge help. They have a large white stretch fabric stand but it's too big for the space.

Perfect venue for organising an awesome shoot with a group of friends on a budget.
Got a bit hot inside during the shoot with all the lights on.
