Vehicle shoot studio
Drive it in, light it properly, shoot it clean. The cove takes vehicles and the doors take anything a trailer can deliver.
What vehicle work looks like here
Press photography against clean white. Detail and trim work under controlled gradients. Black-box night looks with the curtain track drawn. Motorcycles, classics, EVs and the occasional thing with tracks. If it fits through the doors, it shoots.

Questions we get asked
How do vehicles get into the studio?
Ground-level access through the main doors. Cars drive in; anything larger comes in by trailer or ramp. Tell us the vehicle and we will confirm clearances before you book.
Is the floor protected?
Yes. Floor protection goes down before any vehicle enters, and drip trays sit under anything older or charismatic enough to mark its territory.
Can you light a full car on the cove?
Yes. Car paint is a mirror, so the job is lighting what it reflects. The 8-bar grid, bounce and 42 channels of dimming give the big soft sources and clean gradients automotive work needs.
Can we do turntable or motion shots?
The 1m turntable suits products and wheels rather than whole cars. For full-vehicle motion, talk to us about dolly moves and lighting passes; the floor area is 5.3m x 7.1m.
