Hawkeye Studio hire for photography & video Shoots:

Hawkeye Studio is ideal for fashion photography, e-commerce photography, portrait photography, photographing small groups of people, corporate head shots, press & PR photography and still life photography but is also suitable for some video productions.

The studio is perfect for most photography and video shoots as it has a flat solid concrete floor, located in a quiet area and can be blacked out. Please be aware that the studio is not soundproofed and we cannot be sure that any businesses in the area will be quiet during shoots.

The studio is set up with the needs and requirements of photographers and camera operators in mind whilst providing adequate space for clients and any additional crew or cast.

The back wall in the shoot area is flat to a height of 2.45m and usually painted white (along with the floor in front) but can be painted any colour by negotiation.

Background papers can be hung at a maximum height of  2.9m. There are 2 steel bars running the span of the shoot area (one at the front and back) which are suitable for hanging lights or backgrounds etc.

Hawkeye Studio has lighting, grip equipment and backgrounds available for hire as a separate negotiation, please get in touch to let us know what you might need and additional equipment can be hired on the day.

The Studio is located on the first floor with easy access for deliveries and equipment (no lift).

The kitchen area in the studio can be used for food preparation during shoots or in conjunction with food photography but please note that there is no oven or freezer.

Being located in the centre of Bath in a quiet area just off Walcot Street (which is known as the “Artisan Quarter”)  you can source props, clothes or styling necessities from many of the independent shops all within walking distance. Walcot street also has many bars, cafes and restaurants. Waitrose supermarket is only 2-3 minutes walk.

Hawkeye Photographic Studio is approximately a 10-minute walk from Bath Spa train/bus station and less than a 5-minute walk from the city centre and shops. The M4 (Junction 18) is roughly a 15-minute drive away. Bristol is about 10 miles away & takes around 45 minutes by car.
