Here at Capture Factory Studios we have tried our best to make you, and your crew, feel as relaxed as possible. Being an open plan studios creates an airy uncluttered feel and allows for more creativity on the shoot. We have comfy sofa areas with 27″ iMac ready to play your music playlist. Both studios are self contained with no interruptions.
The studios were designed and created by Capture Factory Photography owners Rory and Lydia. It is a space created by photographers, for photographers. They know what it takes to produce a space that is not only easy to use but also provides creativity to any shoot. Having shot in many rental studios we know that a plain white box doesn’t cut it.
Capture Factory Studios are here to spark imagination with movable wall panels, staircases, different textures and mouldings, plus a variety of plants that simulate location house photoshoots.
The highest speed fibre broadband is installed and a 3 phase power outlet for those in need of power hungry lighting.
The original windows fill the studio with beautiful light. Alternatively drop the blinds for complete lighting control. We have added secondary glazing to help reduce unwanted external noises and keep the studio toasty in the winter and cool in summer.
The changing room is spacious enough for two models at a time and has hair washing facilities. Also fitted with an oversized radiator so your models will always be at a comfortable temperature.
There are separate kitchen zones for each studio or get 2 kitchens when you rent both spaces! Kitchens are always stocked with organic coffee, english breakfast tea, alternatives milks, and a large selection flavoured and herbal teas.
For good weather days there is an outside eating area with ample seating.

No, the studios are not fully soundproof. The studios have solid concrete floors which have been sealed.
