The room

Stage Two is smaller and warmer: white-painted timber beams, plaster walls in a soft clay tone and a pale floor. It is where we shoot still life, beauty and headshot days, and it is the room most productions take for a single portrait set.

Paper sweeps are hung on a wall-mounted system, and the room's own lighting kit — beauty dish on a boom, parabolic and flags — is included in the rate.
