The fortieth SKU matches the first.

Product work does not need a big room, it needs a controlled one — a background with no seam and light that behaves the same for the last SKU as the first.

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 product photography studio 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 shoot white e-commerce and a coloured lifestyle set in one day?
Yes. Studio A's cove is white; Studio B's takes a colour wash. Both are in the same building, so the two sets do not need two days or two locations.
Is lighting or a shooting table included?
Not in these rooms — lights are charged separately, so please enquire about our lights. (The DJ room is the one room where lighting comes with the booking, but it is not a product room.) We have not published a full in-house kit list either: tell us what your run needs and we will confirm what is on site, what it costs and what to bring — an exact answer rather than a rough one.
