FAQs about Top Photo Studios in Sydney

In Sydney, most photo studios charge by the hour and prices start at around $30. If you’re looking for a high-end studio for a commercial production, prices will reach up to $250 per hour and beyond. For studios available for hire by half-day four hour sessions, prices will range somewhere between $300 and $700 or more per session. (All data from Tagvenue.)

Every photo studio should have either a clean wall or a non-reflective studio backdrop. When it comes to lighting, you should expect a few sets of lights either with diffusers or softboxes already attached. In case you need a camera, the venue manager should be able to provide you with one and set it up according to your needs.

When looking for cheap professional studios in Sydney, you should focus your search around the Central Business District. If you want to combine great prices with an easy commute, you can take your hunt towards Surry Hills, where you will find blank canvas spaces and studios located just a short walk away from Central Station. You can also check out the venues in Waterloo area, featuring some great studios for model photography and commercial projects.

Booked Cyclorama Photo Studio at Metronome Studios
4.7
Easily a favourite studio of Sydney. Stefano is super kind and gave a quick run through of the setup which was helpful. The space is air conditioned, comfortable with a dressing table and curtained area for outfit changes whilst within the studio. There is also a barber directly opposite which makes it super convenient if you need to get your hair neatened up before a shoot. Lighting setup is great, recommend downloading Sirius link to link to the lights for mobile adjustments on the fly. Overall a great experience. Will book again and recommend.

Amazing space to work in with an abundance of back drops, lots of light which is easily controlled with black block out curtains. Gorgeous wooden floor boards and classy furniture. Good amenities, kitchen, bathroom. And Kate was fabulous. She is highly responsive with communication and extremely helpful working ideas, offering solutions and different concepts. Can't speak highly enough of my experience and look forward to shooting here again.

The team at the Dale were so welcoming and flexible. Every studio we looked at would not budge on set timings, but these guys allowed us to come in when we needed. The studio had everything we needed in a central location and we were able to get some really great shots done! Kate also directed us to the best sandwiches and coffee in Sydney, double win!
