Great studio for shoots. The studio has a range of colour backdrops which I appreciated. All lights & equipment were provided. The props such as plants, lounge stools, table and magazines also added to the shoot.

There was no online booking system which meant having to directly contact the studio. This is sometimes inconvenient when trying to book a studio at short notice.
