Why Choose VSPN Studio? – Melbourne’s Premier Photography & Film Studio

VSPN Studio is Melbourne’s leading professional photography and film studio, purpose-built to deliver outstanding results for creatives, brands, and production teams.

• Our ultra-high U-shape 3-wall cyclorama (8m D × 7.2m W × 6m H) — one of the finest U-shaped infinity walls in Melbourne.

• The studio features a motorised 6 m × 6 m hollywood overhead softbox/prop grid — likely the largest of its size in Melbourne’s sub-200 m² studio category. It also offers a blacked-out ceiling and blinds that block nearly all external light for precise lighting control. Inside the huge overhead hollywood softbox are five Godox full-colour 600W RGB LED lights, with both colour and effects wirelessly controlled via a studio-provided mobile device. 

Every shoot benefits from technical precision, with our experienced team on hand to provide expert support throughout the process.

• We’ve carefully designed every detail of VSPN Studio. The floors feature a honed polished concrete finish, complemented by a concrete-texture feature wall and a vertical white wall, giving creators multiple backdrop options within a single space.

• VSPN Studio goes beyond functionality with premium amenities designed for efficiency and comfort:

Modern lounge areas with entertainment options, including a retro 2-player arcade machine with 1000+ classic games (such as King of Fighters and Metal Slug) — perfect for downtime between shoots.

• For year-round comfort, the studio features powerful, full-area air conditioning — keeping models and team members comfortable in large spaces like the cyc wall and client area, warmly cozy in winter and refreshingly cool in summer.

• At VSPN Studio, we care about the planet — our 13.5 kW rooftop solar system reduces our footprint, while our choice of "ThankYou" hand wash and "Who Gives a Crap" toilet paper supports positive social and environmental impact.

• From high-end fashion shoots and advertising campaigns to corporate video production and creative projects, VSPN Studio provides a professional environment where every detail is tailored for excellence.

Do you offer long-term office rentals?

Yes. We have a small office available for long-term lease. We’re also exploring which industries might be the best fit for this space, so if you’re interested, we’d be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.

Can the studio be used for events?

Yes. VSPN Studio has hosted photography workshops, makeup workshops, and small launches. The space includes two white walls of different sizes for projection, along with a high-brightness projector. The largest wall can display up to a 7-metre-wide (300-inch) screen. Please note that event bookings may incur additional charges.

What equipment is available in the studio?

We provide a wide range of photography gear, including lighting, backdrops, and reflectors. A full list of available equipment can be found on our specifications page.

Do you have 3-phase power?

Yes. The studio is equipped with two 32A 5-pin 3-phase outlets on the floor and an additional outlet mounted on the ceiling.

Is the lighting grid adjustable?

Yes. The lighting grid is adjustable, but any repositioning must be carried out with assistance from VSPN staff.

Does the studio allow vehicle entry?

Yes. The studio has a roller door that allows vehicles to drive inside. Please note that driving onto the cyclorama for shoots incurs additional fees.

Can the studio be blacked out?

Yes. The studio features a blackout roof and motorized black blinds, allowing you to block out nearly all external light for full creative control.

Is the studio suitable for recording audio?

The studio is not fully soundproof. While we take measures to minimize noise, occasional sounds such as rain, wind, or birds on the roof may occur. As there is a second studio upstairs, some noise transfer is also possible. If audio recording is essential, please inform us when booking so we can coordinate Studio 2’s schedule for a quieter environment. For dedicated audio recording, our downstairs multipurpose room offers the best sound isolation within the facility. We also recommend booking after 5:00 pm, when the building is typically quietest.

How is studio hire time calculated?

Booking time runs from the reserved start time until the last member of your group leaves (as recorded on CCTV). Late arrival does not extend your booking. All setup and pack-down must be completed within your booked hours—we recommend allowing at least 30 minutes at the end for this. A fixed $100 fee applies if you exceed your booking by more than 15 minutes (including the 30-minute pack-down allowance).

What are your studio rules and guidelines?

All rules, guidelines, and parking instructions are outlined in the hire agreement – please read it carefully when booking. In addition, every person entering the studio must complete the induction form to confirm they understand the safety and usage requirements.

Can I bring pets into the studio?

We love pets, but to keep the studio safe and comfortable for everyone, they’re not usually allowed. If you’d like to bring an animal for your shoot, just let us know in advance.

I’ve arrived at the address. Where is the studio?

When you arrive at 830-850 Princes Highway, Springvale, enter through the first gate and drive straight ahead. You’ll see the black VSPN sign mounted above, which marks the studio location.

Where is the best place to park our cars?

Up to 3 vehicles can park directly in front of Unit 26 (2 marked spaces plus 1 temporary space in front of the roller door). Additional parking is available with 12 street spaces and 15 visitor spaces within the complex.
Please do not park in neighbors’ spaces.

Is there a lighting technician or studio assistant on site?

Yes. When available, our studio manager can assist with lighting setup and operation during your hire. If you’d like dedicated on-site support for the duration of your booking, an additional fee will apply.

I have something that needs to be photographed but don’t have a photographer. Can you help?

Yes. Whether it’s product photography, e-commerce, or a campaign, we can connect you with a professional from our network of experienced photographers. Simply let us know your requirements, and we’ll match you with the most suitable photographer for the job.

Is a security deposit required?

Yes. A security deposit is required for studio hire, with the amount depending on the equipment and services included in your booking.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment is required before the shoot. We accept cash, bank transfer, or credit card (a processing fee applies for card payments).
