When it comes to high-end photo and video production, having the right space can make all the difference. At Dow Studios, we’ve created more than just a studio—we’ve built a space where ideas turn into visuals, where creativity meets precision, and where clients, creatives, and agencies come together to create stunning results. Whether you’re shooting an ad campaign, capturing portraits, or producing a video interview, our studio is designed to support every step of the process, all under one roof.

A Studio Built for Professionals

Our studio is a purpose-built, fully equipped space tailored for both photo and video productions. Every element—from lighting to layout—has been considered to offer maximum flexibility, control, and comfort for all kinds of shoots. The space consists of two main areas:

  • The Production Studio: A spacious, white limbo-wall studio ideal for clean backdrops, large sets, or multiple subject shots. It’s outfitted with professional lighting, multiple colored backdrops, and green screen capabilities.

  • The Creative Lounge: A directly connected workspace where clients, creative directors, and agencies can comfortably collaborate during the shoot. This area includes a large desk, lounge seating, and a live-view TV screen that streams the shoot in real time—ideal for quick reviews, approvals, and real-time creative decisions.

Why Our Studio Makes a Difference

In many productions, time and collaboration are everything. Having a central location where your entire creative and decision-making team can work alongside the production crew reduces delays and miscommunication. Our connected workspace and review monitor enable real-time feedback and approvals. This is particularly valuable when working with large marketing teams or external agencies—everyone is present, involved, and empowered to contribute.

Need to check something remotely? No problem. The studio is equipped with fast Wi-Fi, making it easy to share previews, get external approvals, or join calls on the spot.

Our studio is more than just an empty room—it’s a comprehensive production environment that supports every detail of your shoot.

Creative Support Areas:

  • Dedicated make-up room for comfort and privacy

  • Fitting room/production space for wardrobe, styling, and prep

  • Fully equipped kitchen—especially useful for food and product shoots

Lighting & Audio Gear:

  • Professional video lighting systems and light shapers to create specific atmospheres

  • A range of studio strobes for still photography

  • Audio gear tailored to the type of production—from cinematic commercial shoots to simple two-person interviews

Live Plating: Real-Time Creative Control

For productions that involve compositing subjects into provided backgrounds—especially in advertising photography—we use a technique called live plating. This means we place the subject in the studio and, using a background image or digital environment provided by the agency, composite the two in real time.

Lighting is critical here. To match the subject with the background, we use directional and intensity-matched lighting, ensuring realism in the final result. With live plating, clients and creatives can see the final image take shape during the shoot, not just afterward.

This allows everyone on set to give instant feedback and ensures lighting is spot-on. Even the smallest adjustments can be made on the spot to improve integration. This process:

  • Saves time in post-production

  • Reduces back-and-forth for approvals

  • Builds confidence in the final result

It also helps us as a creative team to have the light spot-on and catch any issues with the lighting and do tiny necessary adjustments during the session—resulting in a much smoother and more collaborative workflow.

What We Shoot in the Studio

Our studio is optimized for a wide variety of productions. Whether it’s a single product photo or a multi-day commercial video shoot, we provide the tools, expertise, and environment for success.

Video Productions

  • Interviews: Professionally lit, controlled audio environment

  • Advertisement videos: From simple setups to large-scale campaigns

  • Product video shoots: Detailed, well-lit footage for e-commerce, branding, or demos

Photography

  • Portraits: Corporate, editorial, and creative headshots

  • Advertising photography: Background replacement, styling, mood lighting

  • Food & product photography: Perfect for restaurant menus, packaging, or social media

We can accommodate both simple setups and complex scenes involving props, backdrops, and multiple team members. Whatever your concept, we’ll help bring it to life.

Mobile Studio: We Come to You

Sometimes, it makes more sense to bring the studio to your location. That’s why both our photo and video studios are mobile. We can recreate studio-quality setups in offices, homes, showrooms, or even outdoor locations.

This is ideal for:

  • Team portraits in a natural office setting

  • Lifestyle product shoots on location

  • Company-wide photo libraries or brand content

  • Client convenience when travel is not possible

No compromise on quality. We bring everything—from backdrops and lighting to audio gear and monitors—to ensure a consistent and professional outcome, wherever you are.

The Creative Engine Room

Above the studio floor, you’ll find the heartbeat of our operations: our creative and production team space. Here, we handle:

  • Pre-production: Planning, scripting, styling, shot lists

  • Production: Coordination, equipment prep, props and wardrobe management

  • Post-production: Photo editing, video editing, retouching, color grading

Keeping these functions in-house and under one roof allows us to maintain creative continuity from idea to final delivery. It also means faster turnarounds, direct communication, and full control over every stage of your project.

Extra Services to Elevate Your Production

At Dow Studios, we believe a successful production is built on more than just great lighting and a good lens—it’s about having the right team and support in place. That’s why we offer a range of professional, on-site services and facilities to help elevate every shoot and make the experience as smooth and efficient as possible.

Make-up and Wardrobe specialists

We collaborate with experienced make-up artists who prepare talents before the camera rolls and stay on set to assist throughout the shoot. Whether it’s natural touch-ups for corporate headshots or full commercial-grade styling, the artist will adjust their work based on the project goals. A dedicated make-up room in the studio ensures both comfort and privacy for the talent.

Wardrobe is another key element, and we offer access to wardrobe specialists when needed. These professionals are well-versed in current fashion trends as well as local cultural dress codes. While smaller shoots can be styled by our in-house team, larger productions or projects with specific wardrobe demands will benefit from having a specialist involved. Wardrobe planning is usually discussed and approved during pre-production, and the specialist will be present on shoot day to manage fittings and on-set styling. A private dressing room is also available as part of our production setup.

Props management

For shoots that require set decoration or added visual flair, we have a well-stocked prop room. From lifestyle objects to commercial product accents, our in-house production manager can help source or suggest the right props to enhance your visual story. Specific prop needs are handled during the pre-production phase, and custom items can always be brought in to match the shoot’s unique style or brand.

A fully equipped kitchen

For food and beverage shoots, we’ve equipped the studio with a fully functional kitchen, allowing chefs to prepare dishes on-site and stylists to dress them to perfection. Whether your shoot involves a restaurant menu, cookbook images, or branded content, we offer full support—including props, plating tools, and space for your own chef or an external food stylist. Our team works closely with culinary professionals to ensure the lighting, styling, and setup bring out the best in every dish.

All these services are designed to take the pressure off our clients and streamline the creative process—so everyone can focus on doing their best work.

Let’s Create Something Together

Whether you’re a brand, agency, marketing team, or creative director, our studio is designed with you in mind. It’s a space where ideas evolve into powerful visuals—collaboratively, efficiently, and beautifully.

From the flexibility of our facilities to the depth of our equipment, from mobile capabilities to live plating—you’re in good hands with Dow Studios.
