Brands, agencies and actors come to Dock Street for the same reason: images that do their job.

Every shoot is planned before anyone lifts a camera — brief, shot list, usage — so the day runs to time and the files land ready to publish.

Prefer to shoot it yourself? The studio, lighting and full kit list are yours to hire by the hour or the day.

To talk through a brief or get a quote, drop us an email,
book a shoot direct on this site or call me to arrange an appointment.

Most people are here for one of two things

Book a headshot, or book the studio

Testimonials

Headshot photography

starstarstarstarstar

It was such a comfortable and amazing experience, with Mark considering that I was quite nervous as it was my first time getting my headshots done, he was very patient and guided me through different stages to make sure I was hitting the right marks and satisfied with the shots. Would definitely recommend it! 10/10

Headshot photography

Given it was my first time getting headshots taken I was quite nervous as I didn’t know what to expect. Mark and Beya immediately took those nerves away by making me feel right at home and keeping me informed and involved throughout the whole process. I don’t think I could have asked for a greater experience

Mark was fantastic, and very helpful and informative about the equipment. The photography studio was great. Would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of a very functional and well equipped photography studio.
