Studio 4
Large industrial space
Studio 4 is a large, character-filled 2,900 sq ft studio designed for productions that need both space and flexibility. Blending industrial texture with natural light, the studio is ideal for photography, film, and branded content.
A striking exposed brick wall runs through the space, adding warmth and visual interest, while large windows overlooking the River Wey Navigation allow the studio to be flooded with natural light when required. The entire studio is fitted with electronic blackout blinds, making it quick and easy to switch between full blackout and daylight configurations.
The space includes a 4 × 4 metre corner cyclorama, perfect for clean, backgrounds, as well as an additional breakout area that works well for production, client seating, styling or downtime between takes.
Studio 4 is located on the first floor and is not at ground level. While there is no lift access, the studio is accessed via a wide staircase, designed to make carrying kit and equipment up to the space as manageable as possible.
The studio is not sound treated, making it best suited to non sound-sensitive shoots such as photography, product and branded content, music videos, and similar productions where controlled audio is not essential.
Studio 4 is a versatile, production-ready space that balances scale, character and flexibility, making it a strong choice for a wide range of creative projects.

Filming and photographing against textured backgrounds offer several advantages that can increase production value:
Increased Visual Interest: Flat backgrounds can appear bland. Textures like brick walls, weathered wood, or fabric patterns add depth and visual intrigue. They break up monotony and draw the viewer’s eye into the scene, creating a more engaging composition.
Enhanced Subject Separation: Textures can create a natural separation between your subject and the background. This is especially helpful for portraits or product shots. By using a textured background, you ensure your subject pops and doesn’t visually blend in.
Storytelling and Mood: Textures can be chosen to evoke specific moods or tell a story. Rough brick can add a sense of urban grit, while weathered wood creates a rustic atmosphere. Choosing the right texture can subtly reinforce the message or feeling you want to convey in your film or photograph.
Dimensional Lighting: Textures play with light and shadow, adding another layer of visual interest. They create highlights and lowlights that wouldn’t be present with a flat background. This can enhance the overall depth and realism of your scene.
Creative Control: Textures offer the potential for unique and artistic effects. Experimenting with different textures can lead to unexpected and visually stunning results. You can control the prominence of the texture by adjusting camera distance and lighting.
Studio 4 features a mix of industrial and clean textures, including a large exposed brick wall, smooth cyclorama surfaces, and natural light from river-facing windows, offering a versatile backdrop for a wide range of shoots.
