From the studio.
To the cover.
A finished cover and a glimpse behind the scenes. Explore the magazine-shoot photographs in our studio archive, then bring us the brief for your next issue.
Build a world
around the story.
Work with a clean backdrop, shape a darker portrait or bring a constructed set. The space gives your photographer, stylist and art director room to develop the frame together.
Choose your editorial direction
One space.
Different stories.
Portrait features.
Shape a distinctive profile, interview portrait or talent story. Allow time for expression, lighting changes and alternative crops.
Fashion stories.
Bring the collection, styling references and planned sequence. Move from a strong opening image to the supporting details.
Beauty editorials.
Plan close-ups, make-up changes and colour tests. Give the hair and make-up team space in the schedule to refine each look.
Lifestyle features.
Create relaxed, character-led imagery for culture, style and personality-led articles. Keep the setting focused on the subject.
Think beyond a single frame
Make room
for the layout.
Cover: bring the masthead and cover-line positions. Leave the negative space your designer needs.
Spread: plan the gutter, image sequence and room for copy before you start shooting.
Digital: include portrait, landscape and vertical crops so the story works across print, web and social.

Before you book
Magazine studio hire.
Your questions answered.
Is this studio hire or a complete magazine photography service?
This is studio hire for your production. Bring your photographer, models, stylist and art director. Equipment, crew or other production support must be discussed and agreed separately in your quote.
Can we shoot a cover and the inside editorial in one booking?
Yes. Share the number of looks, lighting changes and set requirements so you can book enough time for the cover and supporting story. Include preparation and pack-down in your schedule.
Can we build a set or use a coloured background?
Discuss your set drawings, materials and colour ideas before booking. We can help you plan the space; painting, preparation, build time and any support are agreed in advance.
Can we bring our own equipment?
Yes. There is no charge for bringing your own kit. Ground-floor shutter access helps with loading props, lighting and wardrobe. Confirm any unusual dimensions or electrical requirements with us.
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 information do you need for an availability enquiry?
Send your preferred dates, hours, crew size, shoot type and equipment or set needs. Full payment is required to secure your agreed studio booking.
