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 professional lighting and equipment included in every hourly rate. 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 technical support on hand when you want it.
Photography-ready rooms run from Cover Story (£58.33/hr) through The Loft (£75/hr) and The Bowery (£83.33/hr), with The Neon available by quotation for full days. Lighting and equipment included in every rate. Half-day and full-day rates available. All prices published.
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.
Included. Lighting, equipment and technical support come with every room rate. You can bring your own kit if you prefer, and additional equipment hire is available as an add-on.
Most studios make you ask for a quote. We publish every hourly rate so you can cost a shoot, or quote a client, without a single email. All prices are ex VAT, added at checkout.
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.
Bookings are open. Founding member pricing is still available for the first 50 members - leave your email for the details.
