Great space, Phil was very friendly and helpful on the day, making sure we had everything set up, and swapping out the backdrops for us when needed (if you're used to photo studios where the backdrops are already in place, this is something to bear in mind so you factor it into your shooting time). Lovely natural light, bare bricks and lots of space to work with. Will definitely be making it one of my regular studios!
