Some studios may also provide props, reflectors, and a simple seating area for models. However, more advanced equipment, like high-end cameras, specialist lighting rigs, or editing stations, are often found in more expensive studios. To fully understand what a studio offers, contacting the venue manager directly and asking any specific questions is always a good idea.

• Start by researching affordable studios that include basic equipment in the hire price. 
• Compare different venues using Tagvenue to find one that fits your budget and requirements.
• Book during off-peak times, such as weekdays, to reduce costs.
• Bring your own props, camera, and any extra equipment you may need to avoid additional hire fees. 
• Get ready to take charge of styling, makeup, and editing either solo or with your squad to maximise your savings
• Finally, don’t hesitate to negotiate. When you find a space that you particularly like, it’s always worth trying to get the price down a little.
