The Neon is one of very few drive-in car studios in the region: around 1,900 sq ft of controlled shooting space with a vehicle loading door and a colour-customisable LED ceiling that turns the whole room into a lighting instrument. Drive the car in, set the ceiling to the colour the shot needs, and photograph or film a vehicle in conditions a forecourt or unit shoot can never give you.
For dealerships across Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, that means stock photography, model launches and social content shot to a standard that stands out on every listings platform. For wrap shops, detailers, automotive creators and music video directors, it means a space built around vehicles rather than squeezed around them. The Neon is in Colwick, minutes from Nottingham city centre, with equipment and technical support included. Full days are quoted against your brief, so enquire with your dates.
The Neon is hired by quotation, full days only, with equipment, lighting and technical support included - built for dealership stock days and productions rather than hourly hire. Add The Gathering podcast room from £75 per hour, ex VAT.
