Straight answers

What does photography studio hire london cost at Scope?
Studio A starts at £160. Studio B starts at £120. Set-up and pack-down are inside your booked time.
Can I book both coves on the same day?
Yes. Studio A and Studio B are in the same building, so a shoot that needs scale in the morning and a colour set in the afternoon does not have to move location.
Is there somewhere for hair, make-up and clients?
There is a dedicated make-up room and a client lounge, so talent and clients are not sitting on the edge of the set.
