Studio 337 · A daylight studio in Angel, from £75 an hour

A daylight studio in Angel, from £75 an hour

Studio 337 is a private Georgian first floor in Angel with double-height, south-facing sash windows. It is hired by the hour, from £75.

There is no lighting rig, and that is deliberate — this is a natural-light room. Direct sun crosses the floor through the middle of the day, and blackout blinds bring it down when you want control. The whole floor is yours for the length of the booking: no shared space, no studio manager, no queue for the changing area.

What the light does

The windows face south and run close to floor-to-ceiling, so the room holds usable daylight through most of the day rather than for a narrow window.

Direct sun moves across the floor roughly between late morning and mid-afternoon in summer, earlier and lower in winter. If you need hard light and shadow, book the middle of the day. If you want soft and even, book the edges.

Bring your own lighting

No strobes, no modifiers, no stands are provided. Photographers who need a blacked-out box with a lighting grid will be happier somewhere else, and we would rather say so here than have you find out on the day.

Power is ordinary domestic sockets around the room. Blackout blinds are fitted if you are mixing in your own light or killing the daylight entirely.

What is in the room

Crystal chandeliers, original cornicing, a fireplace and oak floorboards — a Georgian drawing room rather than a white cyclorama.

There is a separate treatment and changing area at the far end, so your subject is not getting dressed behind a backdrop.

Who it suits

Natural-light portrait and headshot work, editorial and fashion, brand and product shoots, UGC and creator content.

Up to eight people on the standard rate. Paid campaigns, brand films and agency crews go on the commercial rate, which covers up to fifteen.

Getting here and in

Angel is eight minutes on foot, Old Street nine. There is a lift to the first floor and metered pay-by-phone parking two minutes away.

You let yourself in with your own door code, seven days a week. The address, code and entrance photographs are emailed the moment you book.

If it does not work out

Cancel free up to 48 hours before and you are refunded in full. Inside 48 hours the fee is non-refundable, but we will move you once if something falls through.

Viewings are free and take ten minutes. Email and we will find a gap.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is lighting provided?
No. Studio 337 is a natural-light room — please bring your own lighting if you need it. The floor has strong south-facing daylight and blackout blinds for when you want to control or kill it. No drilling, nothing taped to the cornicing or fireplaces, and nothing hung from the chandeliers.
Which way do the windows face?
South. They are double-height sash windows running close to floor-to-ceiling, which is why the room holds usable daylight for most of the day rather than a narrow window of it.
Can I black the room out?
Yes. Blackout blinds are fitted, so you can take the room from bright daylight to controlled dark and mix in your own lighting.
How many people can I bring?
Up to eight on the standard rate. Up to fifteen on the commercial rate, which is what paid campaigns, brand films and agency crews are booked under.
What is the minimum booking?
One hour, billed by the hour after that. Leave five or ten minutes at the end to return the space as you found it.
What counts as commercial?
Anything shot for a paying client or a funded campaign. Personal portfolios, creator content, headshots and podcasts are all standard rate. If you are unsure, email and we will tell you straight.
