STU 22 is a four-room photography, video and music production studio in Wapping, East London, five minutes from Wapping Overground. Shoot the campaign, record the track and cut the social content in the same building on the same day.
THE INFINITY COVE - from £120/hr
A professional all-white cyclorama, 16ft x 16ft with 12ft ceilings. The infinity wall curves from floor to ceiling with no visible corner, so the white backdrop needs no retouching. A large window with a blackout roller blind lets you shoot soft daylight or kill it completely and light the room yourself. Used for fashion and editorial, e-commerce and product, campaign and lookbook work, music videos, livestreams, self-tapes and castings. Half day £450 for five hours, full day £850 for ten hours.
THE BLACKOUT STUDIO - from £110/hr
A fully light-sealed matte black room, 26ft x 19ft with 12ft ceilings. Every surface is matte black and the room is sealed against daylight, so nothing bounces and nothing leaks. What you light is what you get, at any hour. Used for music videos, cinematic and narrative production, moody portraiture and fashion, still life, dark-mode e-commerce, interviews and dramatic content. Half day £400, full day £800.
THE FOCUSRITE MUSIC STUDIO - £50/hr
An official Focusrite partner studio, acoustically treated and isolated. Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 interface, two ADAM Audio A77H monitors, a Novation 61SL MkIII MIDI keyboard, a Novation Circuit Rhythm groovebox and a RODE NT-USB microphone. Used for music production, vocal tracking and recording, mixing and mastering, songwriting, podcasts and voiceover.
THE DJ STUDIO - £35/hr
A soundproofed, sound-treated private DJ room with Denon DJ Prime decks on a STU 22 branded booth, two SOUNDBOKS Gen 4 speakers and oak slat acoustic walls. Used for DJ practice and rehearsal, scratching, livestreams and Boiler Room style sets, content filming and radio recording. The isolation means you can monitor at real level without disturbing anyone.
THE PORTAL - BOTH MUSIC ROOMS - £70/hr
The Focusrite studio and the DJ studio sit side by side inside The Portal. Take both rooms for £70 per hour and run the production session and the DJ set in parallel.
