Facilities at Southdown Studio

Southdown Studio is one of the best equipped studios in the South. We have loads of space in two separate studios (a warm, spacious upstairs studio, and a drive-in downstairs warehouse studio), a semi-permanent set that can be reconfigured to reflect a wide range of scenes, four top-quality studio flash/photoflood heads by Bowens, with a softlite dish reflector; silver, gold and white reflectors; and softboxes.

Our facilities allow for creative advertising, PR and product photography against a number of infinity backgrounds. We keep a large range of fabrics in stock, as well as a number of character garments, soft furnishings and items of furniture.

Our upstairs studio is heated and has all the home comforts. Downstairs we have a big empty white-painted space with a concrete floor, a high ceiling and an electrically operated garage door making it an excellent drive-in studio.

We have our very own resident make-up artist, Sylvi Du Sauzay, who has many years of experience in photography, TV, film and stage, and can provide a wide range of make-up styles, even theatrical prosthetics.

Please let us know if there is anything else you need, as we can often cater for special requirements.

Please Note: although we don't sell the studio as a TV or video studio, it's often used as such. We've had a number of TV production companies do shoots here including Ricochet & Channel 4, and video shoots for Setanta Sports and a number of web sites. You'll need to bring your own lighting but we can provide a white or chromakey green backdrop.
