Fully Light-Proof Studio for Creative Shoots.
tl;dr
- Space
- A fully light-proof 87 sqm (936 sq ft) basement studio for hire in Digbeth, Birmingham, West Midlands, measuring 39 ft by 24 ft with blacked-out walls and ceiling and a 13 ft peak height. The blackout envelope kills spill and reflection, making it a controlled content studio rather than a daylight space.
- Best For
- Available for cinematic and moody portrait photography, music video and motion production, controlled product and packshot shoots, fashion lookbook and campaign brand shoot location days, and closed-door collection previews or buyer appointments needing full privacy. Strongest fit is lighting-led shoot work; retail-facing pop-up shop use is the weakest fit given the basement floor level.
- Standout Features
- Total blackout across walls and ceiling with 8 ft beam height rising to a 13 ft ceiling peak, dry hire terms so crews can bring full lighting and grip packages, and an on-site stage. Also included are fitting rooms and garment racks for wardrobe changes, a stock room for equipment and samples, a kitchen for catering setup, air conditioning, resident sound and video equipment, lift access and on-site parking for load-in.
- Location
- Digbeth, Birmingham B9 corridor, roughly 12 minutes walk from Birmingham Coach Station and around 15 to 18 minutes from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations, with Bordesley rail 6 minutes away. The immediate street is a working industrial run of motor trades and warehouses next to Eastside Projects and Luna Springs, so vehicle load-in is straightforward and guest arrival reads as raw creative quarter rather than high street.
- Availability
- Day rate is £840 with a one day minimum, so you can book by the day or book by the week for longer production runs. Book two to three weeks ahead for standard shoot dates and four to six weeks around Birmingham Design Festival, Digbeth event season and autumn campaign shooting, when studios at this address typically book out fastest; extended holds are brief-based pricing on request.
- How to Book
- Send a dated brief with crew size and rig requirements and Fashion Week Venues will confirm availability and hold the date, with a reply within 24h and no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, on-site staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team; request availability now to secure your shoot dates.
