Howard Shooter Photography Studio

It’s not often I need a photography studio. But as I’m writing a book, we needed to take photos of food and drink, and the publisher booked here. I’ve never been in a real photography studio before. But I like it. And specifically, I like this one.
Everything is thought about. The workbenches are all on wheels which makes styling easier (see? I’ve been on a photoshoot, I can say things like ‘styling’). The natural light in the upstairs studio is excellent — skylights as well as large windows. But the blinds are also adjustable, and they adjust to one camera stop each time (Very Good Thing).
Howard’s studio is downstairs, and he has an awful lot of props to play with, although it’s difficult to bother him while he’s working. But you’ve got lots of pretty things in your studio as well.
It’s a really well put together place. I have no idea how much photography studios cost to hire. My guess is £lots. But this one is good. Having spent two days in here, I can confirm that it’s so well laid out about carefully thought through, it made our job easier. After a 10 hour day, that’s a massive plus point on an already beautiful venue.
