Got the chance to book the Buckle Factory as part of Beltcraft studios and the process was very smooth booking through their website and then speaking to the studio via email. Jamie was my point of contact on the day and despite having some bike problems managed to be around on time to both open and close the studio for the booking. Can recommend both studios (I'd shot Beltcraft itself several years ago) as they have lots of props, etc at the studio and you get what you pay for.

Another great shoot today, with @Karoliinnv Every model that I have taken to Belt Craft, they have all loved the place.

Another shoot at the Lovely Belt Craft yesterday. It is a fantastic space to shoot in, my model and her mum absolutely loved it. I shall return.

Light Fantastic

Great space!

Shot at the Buckle Factory today. It's difficult not getting a good shot in that place - great natural light, lot's of interesting props and backdrops.

Highly recommended.

Had the opportunity to work at this amazing studio last weekend, I was sharing the space with another photographer who had dealt with the booking etc.

The shooting space is great, lovely natural light all down one side and big, open room with so many props and Objet d'art to make some really unique images.

An incredible space!!

I've wanted to shoot at Beltcraft for some time as it's always looked interesting - needless to say, it does not disappoint.

An incredible space, both the buckle factory and outside courtyard. Absolutely brimming with character and possibilities.

Excellent facilities, and totally hassle free - all needs met.

Highly recommended - can't wait to book again soon!

Yesterday I rented the Beltcraft studio for a commercial shoot... what a great space, excellent facilities, tea,coffee, soft drinks, the full monty... the studio is well organised with separate makeup and changing rooms as well as a relaxing/kitchen area, that makes it a pleasure to work in, specially when you have a full team on site ( it was 10 of us and it would have easily accommodate more) nice clean toilets and an heating system that works a treat ( obviously the models wanted the heating on and my assistant and me were sweating like mad, despite the shooting area being a huge open space)

On my arrival I was greeted by one of the two owners that explained all the necessary information about the venue and everything was prepared as requested..

Highly recommended, just take a look at the pictures on the studio profile and you know what you are going to get

Thanks Nilo

I booked an all day shoot with two models one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

What a fabulous creative space to work in.

There is plenty of shooting space, with an endless amount of props to choose from if needed.

Plenty of natural light to keep me happy as well :)

Many thanks to Dale for the warm welcome.

Highly recommended.

What a great place this is.

I was booked to model at one of their 2 studios (the Buckle Factory),

Let me say this first: for me it is imperative during a shoot to have access to cafetiere /real coffee, milk, fridge, clean loos, sinks with soaps and large mirrors. If a studio does not have those it is a goner for me.

This studio has all this. I was amazed actually to see there was soft drinks and bottles of water, healthy food in the fridge, 2 clean press cafetieres, some Lavazza coffee, mugs, sinks, mirrors aplenty. A nude model needs her full length mirror and there was more than one.

Also the props and armchairs, vintage textures of the entire place are a dream and hope to get booked again to explore more of those.

It is about 5 min walk from Seven Sisters Station so also not as complicated as I first thought. Only briefly met the young gentleman who runs it, as I got the wrong studio, a sweet Matt Damon lookalike. What is not to love?

This reference is for the sister studio - The Buckle Factory.

I'd booked this studio quite a while in advance for a whole day shoot with two models, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I was delighted with the place it's a bit of a "tardis" really, the outside does not relay what size the place is, masses of room with a great many props available with kitchen, changing & make-up facilities too. The shoots were brilliant and it was well worth the effort of lugging my gear about half a mile from the Severn Sisters. A very warm welcome from Damian too. Highly recommended.

My 7th hire at Belt Craft. Fabulous studio. Book it yourself and see.

Another shoot using the wonderful Belt Craft. As it is now my 6th time of hiring, then the lads must be doing something right, to keep drawing me back there. Probably the plentiful diffused natural daylight through the windows, I suspect. :-)

Fantastic studio and well worth dragging your kit through Seven Sisters for! Relaxed and friendly team, nothing was lacking and I spent a happy day working through a few ideas with my own kitchen and facilities and nobody getting in the way. Brilliant! Definitely going back, thanks team.

I booked four hours at Beltcraft with Marla Pandora. It is in an awful area of London but if you like available light / odd / strange/ this is the place for you.

We got nowhere near using all the props / areas/ backgrounds etc that we could have done..

We were left to get on with what we wanted which was what I wanted - all available light, except one set with a little infill of continuous light - for a b/w conversion.

If this is the sort of place you like, you will like Beltcraft.

A sort of Pit with knobs on.

I am definitely going back.

Find the model - do the shoot.

My 5th booking at the lovely Belt Craft. My model today, she loved it there and asked if her next shoot can be there as well. Great comms from the studio, fantastic range of vintage props, I mostly used the diffused natural light coming in from the windows. Thanks guys :-)

My 4th visit was yesterday. This afternoon I am booking another hire for early November time. :-)

This was my first time at Beltcraft. The communications from the guys were great in terms of getting the shoot organised. Very friendly and helpful. The space itself is awesome. There are lots of creative possibilities, so I will definitely be going back there. Great natural light too.

My 3rd visit. Twice downstairs previously at The Buckle Studio, which is fab, but this time upstairs at the most excellent Belt Craft Studios. For me, very easy to get to from Victoria or London Bridge. It is a great space to hire and Damian & Dale are very helpful. Shot the lovely Olivia Harriett there and very tempted to shot her there again soon. Thanks guys.

I had a wonderful shoot at The Buckle Factory studio, which is part of Beltcraft Studio.

The place was clean, tidy and warm, and full of amazing features that stimulate your creativity!

Tea, coffee and buns were provided too! :)

Would definitely shoot there again!
