Why use a Photography Studio?
January 5, 2023
Renting a photography studio allows you to have your own studio space for hire that is optimised for your specific needs. This means you can make the most of your working hours and be able to produce incredibly polished outputs. You can truly take your time with getting the “perfect shot.” It gives you added comforts and conveniences that you will not find anywhere else.
Here are some reasons why you should consider using a photography studio for your next photoshoot:
Controlled environment
Studios offer a controlled environment that is ideal for photoshoots and video production. You can change the lighting setup, use props, add backgrounds, use coloured lighting gels, and much more. Using professional studio lights give your photos the exact look you need and you’ll have total control over the lighting for the entire session. When you are outside, (especially here in the UK), the weather is unpredictable and can completely ruin your shot. There may also be members of the public getting in the way of your shots or various annoying distractions which affect the performance of your models. By shooting in a studio, the weather is never an issue. Not having to deal with inclement weather will make the whole production process easier.
Flexibility
Most studios are equipped with a range of backdrops, props, and other equipment that can be used to create a variety of different looks. This can be a great advantage if you are looking to achieve a specific style or theme in your photos.
No Interruptions
When you hire a photography studio, you will have complete control over who is allowed in the space. This gives you, your models, and your clients/ agencies complete privacy. Without interruptions or distractions, you will be able to get more work done and end up with higher quality images.
Useful Amenities + convenience
Professional photography studios have useful amenities including toilets, showers, kitchenettes, couches, entertainment options, comfortable seating and so on. These amenities make your photographic shoot much more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone involved. The light stands can be set up for your arrival, you’ll have several paper roll backdrops ready to use, and there will be props available. You won’t need to waste precious time loading and unloading additional equipment.
Preparation space for stylists, MUA and hair
When setting up Ultra Sharp Studios in Hertfordshire, we realised the amount of space required for pre production. Hair, make-up and styling are usually critical to the final image. They need quite a lot of tables and hanging space for all their gear and clothes. Studio spaces for hire have these spaces for laying out all the clothing options. Tables, high chairs and makeup mirrors and for hair and make-up to work their magic.
Create sets and backgrounds
The next most important thing is the ability to create sets. Most decent studios should have a range of coloured paper backdrops available and a range of props, such as chairs. With the addition of your own props, you can style your shoot to create unique images. Working in a studio, lets you change sets and backgrounds quickly and easily.
Overall, using a photography studio can be a great way to ensure that your photoshoot goes smoothly and that you get the high-quality results you want. Whether you are a professional photographer or just starting out, a studio can provide the perfect setting and resources to help you create beautiful photos and content.
