Yes of course! Site inspections can be booked here or you can contact us here to arrange a time. Please note that inspections are subject to the studio and studio director being available. Inspections can also be cancelled/rescheduled should a booking for the same time be received.

Of course! We encourage the use your own props and objects. If you are wanting to bring in your own furniture - please contact us here to discuss logistics.

Anything is possible with enough time and preparation. A full space clear out, will incur a fee, however there is generally enough space to move furniture to the back half of the room.

Yes - however a 20% surcharge applies to bookings where the studio is used for mini sessions, headshot days, or any format where time slots are on-sold to external clients.

These types of bookings place additional demand on the space, including higher foot traffic, increased wear, and more intensive use across the day. The surcharge allows us to maintain the quality, presentation, and overall experience of the studio for all users.

The booking client remains responsible for all attendees, timing, and any additional cleaning or incidentals that may arise.

We accept credit card, but this incurs a small fee. We do not currently have the capacity to offer PayPal or AfterPay payments. We also don’t offer accounts. Payments must be made before usage.

If you include the use of a paper backdrop in your booking and do not end up using it. We are unable to offer a refund. The fee covers both paper usage as well as paper set-up.

While the studio is generally closed on Sundays and Mondays, bookings can be accommodated subject to availability.

The studio operates on a self-access basis and follows the same hours as the building, meaning access is only available while the common entry doors are open.

Sunday and Monday bookings are available with a minimum half-day hire and are subject to Studio Manager availability.

Unfortunately not. Whilst we are also animal lovers, and have no doubt that your pet is toilet trained. There are too many associated risks with having pets in the studio, so we do have a “No Pet “ Policy which is outlined in our studio rules.

We have lots of street parking in the surrounding areas:

• Limited Free Parking is available directly outside the Bell Bros building on Water Street during off-peak hours (9 a.m – 4 p.m).

• Metered Parking (8 Hours) on both sides of Warry Street & both sides of Water Street

Yes - we have a loading zone directly outside the Bell bros building on Water Street which is available during off-peak hours (9am-4pm) for large vehicle, trucks and vans.

We have one on-site car space available for full-day bookings, subject to availability. Please note this space is prioritised for upstairs Gallery Studio hires on selected days.

As the studio is located within a heritage building, access to the car park is quite tight, and the space itself requires careful manoeuvring. Entry into the building from the car park also involves a few additional steps.

We’re always happy to provide access where possible — we just recommend allowing a little extra time if you plan to use it.

As the building is heritage-listed, there is no lift access. Entry to both the main studio and the upstairs gallery is via staircase only.

We recommend keeping this in mind when planning your booking, particularly for larger items, equipment, or accessibility requirements.
