Is a corporate photographer included in studio hire?
This page is for hiring the studio space. Bring your photographer and any hair, makeup or styling team. Photography, retouching, backgrounds, equipment and additional support should be agreed separately where needed.
Can we photograph a whole team in one booking?
Yes. Send the number of people, the individual portraits required and your planned group photographs. We can discuss the studio setup and booking length; your photographer should confirm the shooting schedule and group arrangement.
Should we book a half day or a full day?
A focused brief with fewer people and one lighting setup may suit a shorter booking. Larger teams, group photographs, outfit changes and several looks need more time. Include setup and pack-down when you request a quote.
Can we match portraits for new starters later?
Plan for this with your photographer from the first shoot. Save the camera and lighting settings, background details, pose guidance and a reference image. Share those requirements when arranging a return visit.
Can we bring our own lighting and backgrounds?
Yes. There is no additional charge simply for bringing your own kit. Ground-floor shutter access helps with loading. You can also request studio equipment from our equipment list; confirm availability and any hire costs in your quote.
Cineview also has over 400 items of equipment in house. Hiring suitable kit from the studio can save time and transport costs. Explore our equipment list and contact us with your equipment requirements to confirm availability and prices.
Are dogs and children welcome?
Yes. Dogs and children are welcome, and Cineview is a dog-friendly studio. Please contact us before bringing dogs so we can discuss the practical arrangements for your booking.
Do clients need insurance?
Client insurance is not required unless the work involves fire or water. Contact us before booking any fire or water activity to discuss the necessary cover and practical arrangements.
Do we need to send shot lists or call sheets?
No. Shot lists and call sheets are optional; you do not need to send them before shoot day. You are welcome to share them if they will help the studio team support your plans.
Can we shoot company photographs and video together?
Yes, provided you allow time for the different setups. Tell us about interviews, sound recording and any autocue or production requirements before booking, so we can discuss what your team needs.
How do we secure the studio date?
Send your preferred date, working hours, number of people and shoot brief through the availability form. We will confirm availability and your quote. Full payment is required to secure the booking.
