Personal by design.
This is my studio. It is where everything I make gets made, not a commercial space rented to anyone with a deposit. It has been built over years and across more than one fit-out, by someone who has spent a long time learning what actually matters. Every light, lens and cable is here for a reason. It is the kit we reach for every day, looked after because we depend on it. When the studio is hired, it goes to people I know and trust to treat it the way we do.
The layout.
Know the space.
Plug in and record.
A control room with a UAD interface and a dedicated vocal booth. Connect your MacBook over USB-C and you're ready to go, no setup required.
Serious kit.
A deep camera, lighting, grip and audio package, available with or without crew. Anamorphic and vintage glass, cinema cameras, and a full Aputure lighting inventory on hand.
Come see the space.
The full kit.
Everything in-house, available with or without crew. Built over years of real shoots, not a rental catalogue.
