Most photography studio hire means one room, one look, and a lighting kit priced as an extra. Story + Space takes a different approach: nine specialised studios in one Nottingham building, four of them built squarely for photographers, with basic lighting included in every hourly rate and equipment hire available as an add-on. Shoot a clean lifestyle set in the morning, an industrial loft editorial after lunch, and never leave the building.
Photographers working in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester can see every price before booking, because we publish all of them, and every room books online instantly with no quote forms. Whether you are a working photographer hiring space for client shoots or a brand bringing your own creative team, the studios in Colwick are minutes from Nottingham city centre and built to be self-operated, with remote support on hand when you want it.
Photography-ready rooms run from Cover Story (£70/hr) through The Loft (£90/hr) and The Bowery (£100/hr), with The Neon available by quotation for full days. Basic lighting included in every hourly rate; bring your own camera, or add equipment hire. Half-day and full-day rates available. All prices published and include VAT.
Story + Space is in Colwick, a few minutes east of Nottingham city centre with easy access and parking. The full address and arrival details are sent with every booking confirmation.

Absolutely. Many of our rooms are designed for exactly that: photographers hiring a distinctive set for client work. Book by the hour online, or look at memberships from £99 per month if you shoot regularly.
