Is this studio hire or a cosmetics photography service?
This page is for studio hire. Photography, styling, models, retouching and finished images are not automatically included. Bring your team or ask about any additional support before booking.
Can we shoot packshots and a campaign on the same day?
Yes, you can plan both within your booked time. Share your product count and creative references, and allow for lighting changes, styling, breaks and pack-down. Your photographer can advise how much is realistic.
Are backgrounds, props and product tables included?
Confirm the exact backgrounds, surfaces, tables, props and lighting you need when requesting your quote. Do not assume every item shown in an example product photograph is supplied with studio hire.
Can we bring our own equipment?
Yes. You can bring your own cameras and lighting at no additional charge. In-house kit is available to discuss separately, subject to availability. The shutter provides a practical load-in route for equipment.
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.
What should we send with an enquiry?
Send preferred dates, product quantities, team size and equipment requirements. Sharing a shot list is optional. Include whether you need models, tabletop compositions, a full set or product video. Full payment is required to secure a confirmed booking.
