dave_bass5 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My current band need to get some live looking shots, and it seems the best way to do this is to find a rehearsal studio with a stage and set up our lights etc. We dont want to spend much so a photographic studio is out of the question. Im also planning on taking most of the shots myself so doing them at a gig is also not practical at the moment. So, does anyone have any recommendations that might fit the bill, must be in the London area. At the moment we use Mill hill music complex and they do have a room with a stage, but its a bit cramped to get the shots i want. At a pinch we can use it but thought i'd ask to see if anyone has any other suggestions. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I've used resident in Willesden a few times, I think their one studio has a stage. Not sure though.

darkandrew Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Or you could always find a school that has a suitable hall and stage, some even have fairly sophisticated computer controlled lighting rigs already installed. Most schools are strapped for cash these days and will welcome the chance to let the hall out to you.

synthaside Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) You could easily drop an email to the fighting cocks in kingston , Im pretty sure they let out the Gig room for rehearsals and other such things in the day time / when there arent gigs on. For reference ... been a long time since i played the place mind you and this is a stock image from google .... Im not putting awful images of me ages 18 on here :-P Edited January 27, 2016 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll look at them tonight. I have a feeling some might be too expensive though. Hiring a shchool or hall is a good idea, except we don't want to take a PA and full back line/drum kit. That's the reason for wanting a rehearsal studio as these are normally included.
