The four sets
Four completely different rooms,
without leaving the building.
Most creators shooting a range of looks book three locations and burn a day travelling between them. Everything below is standing, lit and ready in one space.
Victorian Blue Room
Luxurious Victorian-inspired, rich blue tones, elegant gold décor. Refined and upscale. Best for classy portraits, editorial, high-end branding and fashion campaigns.
Girly Pop Set
Playful and vibrant. Pink and sky-blue accents with floral touches, full of personality. Best for beauty, lifestyle, birthdays, influencer campaigns and feminine branding.
Retro 70s Kitchen
Vintage kitchen with a period stove and era-accurate pieces. Bold throwback aesthetic. Best for nostalgic storytelling, music videos and themed product work.
Stylized Bathroom
Unexpected and full of edge. Instantly adds energy and personality. Best for fashion, beauty visuals, music video scenes and bold branded storytelling.
Two spaces
Pick the room that fits the shoot.
Mixed-use production room
The flexible room. Cyc wall, full lighting grid and sound treatment. This is where we shoot brand films, interviews, multi-cam podcasts and clean product work. Open floor, so you build the look you need.
Best for: video, interviews, podcasts, packshots, headshots, anything needing a controlled seamless background.
The four-set room
Four fully designed environments standing at all times: Victorian blue, girly pop, retro 70s kitchen, stylized bathroom. Walk in and start shooting; no build day, no art department.
Best for: content creators, beauty, lifestyle, fashion, music videos, influencer campaigns, themed product shoots.
