Nothing changes between sitters.

One portrait is a sitting. Twelve people who need to look like they belong on the same page is a production — and it wants a room where the set never moves.

How it works

  1. 01Send the headcountAllow ten to fifteen minutes per sitter plus rigging at each end — that arithmetic decides the block.
  2. 02Fix the lookThe cyclorama takes a colour wash, set before the first sitter and untouched until the last.
  3. 03Move people throughDressing and prep room, client lounge and kitchen keep the queue off the set.

In every room but one, lights are charged separately from the room rate, so please enquire about our lights and we will quote for what your shoot needs. The exception is the DJ room, where the professional film lighting is rigged in the room and included in the rate.

Anything not listed — ceiling heights, cove dimensions, power, capacities — is on request rather than guessed at. Ask us and you will get an exact answer.

Straight answers

What does headshot studio london cost at Scope?
Studio B starts at £120. Studio A starts at £160. Set-up and pack-down are inside your booked time.
Can you hold the exact same background for every sitter?
Yes — a colour-washable cyclorama in a sound-treated, blackout-capable room, set once and left alone until the last sitter leaves. With the daylight shut out, the light on sitter twelve is the light on sitter one.
Where do people wait?
In the dressing and prep room, the client lounge or the kitchen — so the next sitter is not watching the current one being lit.
