Gilmour Studios

A light-filled, styled studio space available for hire in central Hamilton. Set on the second floor, the studio includes a variety of furniture, soft furnishings and ready-to-shoot setups – no need to bring your own props or spend time styling.

With multiple shooting areas including a bed setup, lounge zones, dining table, desk space and backdrops, the space works well for lifestyle, portrait, branding and newborn shoots, small content days and workshops.

We also have a movable wall on wheels (approx. 3.8m long), double-sided: one clean white, and the other a soft, creamy white-wash finish. Paper rolls can be suspended from the bar at the top so you can swap in your preferred backdrop colour.

The movable wall can be used for:
• Partitioning the studio into different shooting zones
• Creating a private changing area for clients
• Serving as a neutral or textured backdrop for photos
