Studio hire questions

Is there a minimum booking time?

Two hours. We price the one-hour option deliberately close to the two-hour rate because a single hour rarely leaves time to set up, shoot and pack down without rushing.

Do you charge extra for lighting?

No. Our Aputure lighting stays rigged in the room and is included in every booking, as are all 19 seamless backdrop colours and the built sets.

Can I bring my own lighting?

Yes, bring whatever you like. Just check your trigger works with our lights if you plan to mix.

How far in advance should I book?

Weekday mornings are usually available with a few days notice. Autumn and winter Saturdays book out weeks ahead.

Do you have parking?

Yes, free parking in our own lot. In downtown Sanford that is not a given, and it matters when a client arrives with three children and a garment bag.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Cancel yourself up to 48 hours before for a full refund. Inside that window you can still move the booking to another time.
