FAQs about Top Daylight Studios in London

London is known for its art scene, so finding a daylight studio that will suit your budget requirements is easier than it seems. Most of the time, daylight studios follow a similar pricing structure as normal photo studios, which means that the price can start around £300 per day and range as high as £7000 per day. The final price will depend on the location of the venue, its size, and the amount of time you’d like to spend there.

From north to south, London is filled with daylight photo studios, all you have to do is take your pick depending on your criteria. On the north side of the river, you can find several professional studios in West Norwood, Clapham or Peckham. Once you cross the Thames, you should take a look around Spitalfields, Haggerston, Hackney Wick or Higham Hill, which are all home to cool daylight studios.

Check out some of our most recommended daylight studios in London, according to customers’ reviews:

Pure Light Photography Studio, located in West London, this study has plenty of light even on a cloudy day and offers equipment and additional light if needed. 

Butler in the Peanut Factory Studio, a multiple photographic shooting studio in Hackney Wick that can be used as a daylight and blackout studio.

Mavro Worldwide Studio is a bright space offering additional pieces of equipment such as backdrops and lighting.

Sizona Location, a spacious warehouse apartment with an outside patio area, great for indoor and outdoor photography.

A daylight studio is necessarily equipped with a set of windows that allow as much natural sunshine as possible. In another sense, daylight studios are quite similarly equipped classical photo studios, which usually include background options and tripods. Some daylight studios have their own props you can use for your photo shoot, as well as light modifiers, which allow you to play with natural light on a different level. Each space usually lists its equipment on its page, or you can inquire with the manager if the venue has the equipment you need.

Your Guide to Hiring Daylight Studios in London

Whether you're capturing fashion, portraits, or commercial content, hiring a daylight studio in London gives you consistent, flattering lighting in a controlled environment. 

Why Book a Natural Light Studio?

  • Natural Light Control
    Capture soft, flattering tones without relying on heavy artificial lighting setups.
  • Weather-Proof Shooting
    Say goodbye to rain delays. With daylight studios, you get all the light and none of the unpredictability.
  • Full Setup Flexibility
    Move props, switch backdrops, and adjust lighting without disruption. Ideal for stylized shoots or branded content.
  • Cost-Efficient Workflow
    Most studios are pre-equipped with props, furniture, and lighting modifiers—saving you time and setup costs.

Why Do Photographers Love Daylight Studios?

  • Comfort – Temperature-controlled spaces, often with lounge or kitchen areas for long sessions
  • Privacy – No public interruptions or photo-bombers like you’d face outdoors
  • Year-round usability – Great light even in winter months when outdoor shoots become impractical
  • Venue support – Many studios offer on-site help or gear rental; just ask the manager in advance

 Pro Tips: Make the Most of Your Daylight Studio Session

  • Choose the right time of day
    For soft, even lighting, aim for midday. Early morning or late afternoon light can add drama and shadows, perfect for moodier looks.
  • Embrace natural shadows
    Don’t shy away from contrast. Use window frames, blinds, or textured objects to create interesting shadow play across your subject.
  • Turn off unnecessary lights
    Mixing daylight with artificial lighting can flatten or distort your image. Stick to one source when possible for a more natural effect.
  • Adjust composition carefully
    Watch your background. Keep it simple for portraits, or lean into styled chaos if that’s your concept. Always review shots in-camera as you go.
  • Experiment with angles & setups
    Use reflectors, colored gels, and unconventional props to push your creative vision. Daylight is forgiving, so try bold ideas.

This is great studio. Warm, welcoming, easy to use, lots of furniture and props in monochrome colours so easy to match up. Several lighting gels and lighting modifiers. Furthermore use of the whole space is possible. You won't find the same offer and flexibility and range of sets like that in this price range anywhere else in London

Great value for money considering the size of the place and the location. The staff were very friendly and helped set up the lights. The studio was nice and spacious, equipped with a divider for privacy, sofas, clothing rail, full length mirror, steamer, make-up area and speaker. Had a great time here doing a pre-wedding shoot with my partner and some friends - would recommend!

Michal was extremely helpful. The place was well set up for what we needed: multiple background colours, plenty of lights and soft boxes... plus the vanity mirrors and option to play our own music was great! Overall an excellent experience that I could easily recommend to anyone wanting to shoot studio photography.

Great location and great options to view the studio, spec out the studio and make sure everything was in place for the shoot. The communication was a real highlight as they were really accommodating and always kept us informed. The amenities nearby are also great for tired talent or for relaxing after the shoot. Really great for personal or professional projects.

Booked Photo Studio in East London at Colores - London photo studio

The host (Ariel) was kind, friendly and helpful. We arrived 15 minutes late due to navigating to the venue which he still accounted for at the end of the session. The facilities were great and a family of 9 were able to take some fabulous photos. We even shared the birthday cake with him! A soloution to parking is use the adjacent car park for Matalan. I paid a few pounds for 2 hours. There s a slope outdoors which leads you exactly to where the lofts are situated on the right.

Andrew was extremely helpful with setting us up in the morning and letting us go about our business. We finished a bit earlier than expected and he came earlier than we agreed just to close up for us. Had all the equipment we needed for our fashion e-commerce shoot. Sound system is amazing in there too. Will definitely be using the studio again

Ben was incredibly helpful and friendly, they had little bits and bobs that were handy like gels, clamps etc. Also the flash head was quite fast which was a real bonus as a lot of equipped studios don't offer these, just knackered old lights. Lovely natural light. Great stuff, will definitely be back!

The studio honestly had everything you could possibly need for a successful shoot! Creative leads, photographer and models alike were so impressed! We had break out areas, makeup area and so many different areas to work with and created amazing content beyond what we had planned for the time slot and space!
