Featured Shoots at STU 22

Real sessions shot in our rooms in Wapping. Each story shows how the set was built, how it was lit, how long it took and what the studio time actually cost — so you can plan your own shoot before you book a single hour.

Three rooms, from £35/hr + VAT. 12ft ceilings, set builds welcome, 24-hour premises licence.

The shoots

Album cover photoshoot: a desert built indoors in one day

Real sand on the floor, a painted dune backdrop and a single hard key light placed low and behind. Load-in, build, shoot and strike inside one studio day. The full story covers the set build, the one-light setup, why the 12ft ceiling made the sky work, and what the day cost.

What else gets shot here

Not every session becomes a story page, but these are the jobs that come through the door most weeks.

Want your shoot featured here?

If you shoot at STU 22 and you are happy with the images, send them over. We build the story page, credit the photographer by name, and link straight to their site or Instagram. It costs you nothing, it puts your work in front of everyone searching for a London studio, and it gives you a page you can send to clients.

Email the finished set, tell us the room, the kit and roughly how long it took, and we will write it up.
