I recently had the pleasure of using The Photo Cove studio for a filming project, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The cleanliness and tidiness of the space were impeccable, providing the perfect backdrop for my shoot. The abundance of natural lighting combined with top-notch studio lighting equipment gave the flexibility to achieve the desired aesthetic effortlessly. Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness of Phil. From the moment i booked the studio to the end of our session, he was attentive and accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend The Photo Cove to anyone in need of a high-quality filming/photography space.

This studio is brilliant. It is kitted out and has everything any brand would need for a shoot day including monitors, backdrops, kitchen, screens, lighting etc. The building itself isn't...mainly access. The studio is on the third floor of a mill building, so at least 100 steps up and doesn't have a lift. We were told the lift had been out of service for the last month and was due to be fixed within the next few weeks. However, one of our models had visited this same studio over a year ago and it was the same. We're a baby and toddler clothing brand so had parents (and grandparents) climbing up dozens of stairs with buggies and everything else. The studio would be ideal for a brand doing a small shoot with not a lot of equipment or apparel/product items to shoot.

We rented this space out to use for a bridal shower for guests and it was perfect. We used both the indoor and outdoor space. Rob was kind enough to let us use his beautiful outdoor table. I was a little worried about not having a washroom but he left his backdoor open to his house for whenever we needed to use the washroom. The studio was the perfect size for us to open gifts and play games. I would definitely use this space again in the future.
