Our pop-up photography studio is back for 2023. The studio will open in The Street from Friday 21 April and will be open for bookings from Monday to Friday up to 9 June (excluding Mondays 1, 8, 22 and 29 May). The booth will move to the foyer from Tuesday 23 May - Friday 9 June.
What is the pop-up photography studio?
Would you like to have some free professional images taken of your work (or even you!) for your portfolio or Graduate Showcase? All CSM students can book a free thirty minute slot with a photography technician in the pop-up studio which will be located in the Street at CSM. No experience is necessary, and you are welcome to bring work in any medium to be photographed. You can also request a professional portrait photograph.
What should I bring?
All equipment will be provided, including a camera, lighting and professional backdrop, but you should bring a 32GB+ SD card or laptop to your appointment to save your images.
Location
The studio will open in The Street from Friday 21 April to Monday 22 May, the booth will then move to the foyer from Tuesday 23 May - Friday 9 June.
Make a booking
Thirty minute appointments are available Monday–Friday, 10am–1pm and 2pm–6pm (excluding the four Monday dates listed above). Please arrive to your appointment promptly and wait outside the studio until the previous session has finished. Please make a booking online. Please only book one 30 minute session per person, so that as many students as possible can use this service. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so as soon as possible so that another student can take your slot.
Using models
You are welcome to bring a model with you to display garments or jewellery, for example, during your photoshoot. We advise that all models are current UAL students. If you need to bring an external model onto site, please request permission from your tutor in advance. Your tutor will then need to inform CSM Reception ahead of their visit. Students can only bring one model into the pop-up photography studio.
Share your shots
After your appointment, if you'd like to share your photographs with us for potential use on the Central Saint Martins social media channels, please contact Cat Cooper. If selected, we can share your imagery and tag you.
