Hire and rent mean the same thing here

In British English, people often search for studio hire. In American English, studio rental is more common. On Shootspace both mean the same thing: booking a photo or film studio, or a film set, for a shoot. Titles and buttons on the rest of the site stay with rent; in these guides we use hire where it reads naturally, especially for UK search terms.

If you search in English, you reach the same directory through search studios, film sets and the guides below.

Photo studio hire, film studio hire and film set hire

Photo studio hire is a stills space: portrait, product, lookbook. Filter photo studios or read photo studio or film studio.

Film studio hire is a room that suits moving image better: quiet, continuous light, a control room, sometimes a green screen. See renting a film studio and the film studios filter.

Film set hire is different: you book a set that is already standing, not an empty floor. All sets are listed under Film sets; more detail in renting a film set.

Next reads on cost and choice

Compare published rates in how much a studio costs, check what’s included and follow how to choose a studio. Always ask the studio for the current rate on your date.

Frequently asked questions

Is studio hire different from renting a studio?
No. Studio hire (UK) and studio rental (US) are English terms for the same thing: booking a production space for a limited time. On Shootspace you find those spaces in the directory.
Where do I find film set hire?
Under Film sets, or via search with type film set. That is separate from empty photo and film studios.
