If you sell expertise, people buy you before they buy the offer. The coach with sharp headshots, confident talking-head video and a steady stream of podcast appearances wins the enquiry over the one whose last LinkedIn photo was taken at a wedding in 2019. Story + Space gives coaches, consultants, therapists and founders a set of studios in Colwick, minutes east of Nottingham city centre, built for producing that material properly: a styled lifestyle studio for photography, a soundproofed podcast room for audio and video, and an industrial loft when you want headshots with more edge than a white wall.
The working pattern that makes this pay is the batch day. Book a morning, arrive with two or three outfit changes and a content plan, and leave with headshots, weeks of talking-head clips and a recorded episode in one visit. Equipment, lighting and technical support are included in every booking, so you do not need to be technical, and you do not need to assemble a crew unless you want one.
Cover Story starts at £58.33/hr and The Round Table at £75/hr, with half-day rates that suit a full content batch day. Memberships from £99/month work well if you refresh content on a regular cadence. All prices exclude VAT, added at checkout.
Yes. Equipment, lighting and technical support are included in every booking, so the room is ready when you arrive and there is help on hand if you need it. You bring yourself and your content plan.
That is the most efficient way to use the space. Many clients book a half day, shoot headshots and stills first, then move on to talking-head video and a podcast recording while the outfits and energy are still fresh.
It is up to you. Plenty of clients bring their own photographer or videographer, and the included equipment and lighting mean a confident self-shooter can also work alone for video content.
Most personal brands work on a monthly or quarterly batch cycle. The credit-based memberships from £99/month are built for exactly that rhythm, so studio time is already in the diary rather than something you keep postponing.
Bookings are open. Founding member pricing is still available for the first 50 members - leave your email for the details.
