What would you like to do here?

A studio does not have to mean a photographer, a model and a white background. Nor does a creative space have to be used for only one purpose.

The layout can be planned around your project, within the practical limits of the building, equipment, access, power, sound and safe setup.

Have a use that does not fit any of the categories above?

Talk to us about planning sessions, small team meetings, creative brainstorming, interviews, demonstrations, project preparation, research activities and other suitable uses of the space.

We are open to discussing new ideas. The important questions are what you want to accomplish, what the space needs to do, and how we can make the arrangement practical.

The space

Location Nepal Studio is located in Mandikhatar, Kathmandu, near HAMS Hospital.

The studio measures approximately 28 × 38 feet, with a ceiling height of 15 feet. This gives creative teams a useful indoor working area for many photography, video and production setups.

Depending on your requirements, the floor layout can be planned for shooting, lighting, background arrangements, product tables, a presentation area, seating or other suitable configurations.

The space is particularly useful when you need to organise a shoot or activity in one place rather than move between several locations.

On-site parking is available, and restaurants nearby make it easier to organise meals and breaks during a working day.

Location: Mandikhatar, near HAMS Hospital, Kathmandu.

Equipment rental, under one roof

One of the most practical reasons to book Location Nepal Studio is the option to coordinate the space with additional equipment.

Instead of arranging separate suppliers for lights, stands, sound, projection and other essentials, tell us what you need and we can help put together the requested package.

Equipment is rented subject to availability and confirmation. Any additional technician, setup, operation or production service should be agreed before the booking.

Photography and video lighting

Equipment options include:

  • Studio strobes and flash lighting

  • Continuous LED video lights

  • Bi-colour LED fixtures across approximately 100W to 800W

  • Bowens-mount modifiers and accessories

  • Softboxes and light-shaping tools

  • Fresnel attachments

  • Optical snoots

  • Lighting attachments and accessories

  • Reflectors and light-control tools

Grip, stands and diffusion

Ask about:

  • C-stands and light stands

  • Grip equipment and mounting accessories

  • 8 × 8 ft and 12 × 12 ft frames

  • Skimmers and diffusion materials

  • Flags, reflectors and light-control accessories

  • Equipment for shaping, blocking and directing light

  • Suitable support equipment for overhead setups

Overhead equipment, frames and rigging must be assessed for the proposed use, clearances, mounting arrangements and safety requirements.

Audio, microphones and sound

For podcasts, interviews, workshops, presentations, screenings and other productions, available equipment options include:

  • Audio and sound recorders

  • Boom microphones

  • Pin microphones and lavalier microphones

  • Other suitable microphones, subject to availability

  • Speakers and sound systems

  • Audio accessories and related equipment

Recording requirements vary. Let us know whether you need simple speech recording, a multi-person conversation, a presentation sound system or a more involved production setup.

Projection and presentation

Equipment can be requested for suitable workshops, screenings, training sessions, presentations and events.

  • Projectors

  • Projection screens

  • Microphones

  • Speakers and sound systems

  • Audio recording equipment

  • Classroom-style chairs

  • Banquet-style chairs

Please confirm the audience size, room layout, source devices, presentation format and any special technical requirements in advance.

Camera movement and production support

For shoots requiring movement or more elaborate camera setups, ask about:

  • Camera sliders

  • Jibs and camera support systems

  • Suitable camera accessories

  • Lighting and grip support

  • Setup technicians

  • Additional crew on demand

The equipment package should be matched to the camera, payload, movement, operator and intended setup. Availability and compatibility will be confirmed before booking.

Power and practical production essentials

For suitable production requirements, ask about:

  • Power generators

  • Power extensions

  • Additional electrical and setup requirements

  • Lighting and grip accessories

  • Production support for equipment setup

Generator use, power loading, cable routes, ventilation, noise and electrical safety need to be assessed for each project. Equipment suitable for use inside the studio may differ from equipment needed for an outdoor location.

Props, set design and creative assistance

We can also discuss props, backdrop requirements, set design support, equipment planning, lighting ideas and practical ways to achieve a particular look.

If you have a reference image, a mood board, a storyboard or simply an idea you are trying to work out, share it with us. We can discuss what might be needed and which parts of the setup can be arranged.

Save time coordinating your production

A studio booking can involve more than the rental of a room.

You may need lights from one supplier, stands from another, sound equipment from someone else and a technician who knows how to set it all up. Then there is collection, loading, unloading, transport, returning equipment and keeping track of everything.

Where the required equipment is available in-house, combining it with your studio booking can reduce the number of separate arrangements you need to make.

You can discuss the space, equipment and additional support in one enquiry. Setup technicians and production crew can be requested according to the project.

That can mean fewer separate trips, less coordination and more of your working day available for the actual shoot or event.

Tell us what you are planning. We will help you work out what needs to be arranged.
