Photography studio hire in Sydney starts at $42.50 per hour for members at Goodspace Kingsgrove, or $85 per hour and $580 per day for non-members. Because the studio is booked by the hour, you pay for the time your camera is out — not for an empty room the rest of the month.
The studio sits inside the Goodspace building at 14 Commercial Rd, Kingsgrove, alongside the co-working floors, podcast studio and full-service cafe — which is why a shoot day here feels less like hiring a hall and more like borrowing a very well-equipped workspace.

What the hourly rate includes
The rate covers a large, private open-plan studio flooded with natural light — or blacked out completely when you want full control with studio lighting. The photography studio includes a cyclorama wall with full-length green, pink and white backdrops, a dedicated makeup and styling area, well-appointed kitchen and bathroom facilities, free wifi, and an in-house cafe with catering available. That means fewer line items on your production budget: no backdrop hire, no scrambling for somewhere to steam garments, no coffee runs off-site.
How to keep a shoot day lean
The brands that get the best value from studio hire batch their content: one styled day covers a month of product shots, campaign imagery and social video. We've written a full guide on how Sydney brands shoot content without building a studio — the short version is to arrive with a shot list, prep products the day before, and book consecutive hours rather than scattered sessions. If you already work from a desk or office at Kingsgrove, the member rate effectively halves your studio cost.
Hourly hire vs building your own setup
A permanent home studio means buying lighting, backdrops and space you use a few days a month. At $42.50–$85 an hour, hiring only when you shoot usually works out far cheaper for a small brand — and the gear, cyclorama and styling area are maintained for you.
