Photography studio in manchester
STUDIO 2 / SPECIFICATION
Studio 2 is a versatile photography studio hire in Manchester, purpose-built for stills photography, commercial shoot locations, castings, and product photography. As a flexible content creation studio, it is also the ideal environment for small-scale film productions, interviews, and branded media. Studio 2 can be used as a standalone space or configured to work alongside Studio 1 for multi-set or parallel production workflows.
The studio features a fully adaptable infinity cove studio that can be transformed into a green screen studio, bluescreen, or white cyc as standard. For creators requiring complete light control, the space also functions as a dedicated blackout studio. Our programmable LED lighting system provides full color control, making it a preferred music video studio and creative hub for high-end digital content. For bespoke aesthetics, we offer on-site set construction and custom painting upon request.
Despite its compact scale, Studio 2 is a fully soundproof studio, ensuring clean audio for broadcast and digital use. It is also equipped for advanced virtual production workflows; our live camera tracking integrates seamlessly with Unreal Engine for real-time graphics, while the Ultimatte 12 4K system allows for precision in-camera compositing and live keying.
