Infinity Cove Studio - FAQs
What is an infinity cove?
An infinity cove is a curve-built section of a studio where the wall meets the floor (and sometimes one wall meets another) without an angle, producing a seamless background that shows no visible join. The technical effect is that the background reads as infinite when correctly lit, with no shadowed corner to break the illusion. That's why infinity coves are the standard choice for product photography, fashion editorial, video work and any brief needing a clean, edge-free background that's easy to cut out or replace in post. You'll see them called cyc walls or cycloramas in trade conversations; the terms refer to the same construction.
What types of shoots use an infinity cove studio?
Infinity cove studios are booked across any production work that depends on a seamless backdrop. Product photography and packshots use them constantly. Fashion editorial and lookbook days rely on them for clean cutting in post. Beauty and cosmetics shoots need the edge-free finish for retouching efficiency. Music videos, commercials and video portrait work all use them when the background needs to stay clean or be swapped out later. They're also a standard tool for green screen and chroma key work, since the curve eliminates the corner shadows that would otherwise complicate the key.
What's the difference between an infinity cove and a blackout studio?
They sit in different lanes. An infinity cove gives you a seamless background, which is what sits behind the subject. A blackout studio gives you complete lighting control, which is what sits in front of the subject. Plenty of UK infinity cove studios are themselves blackout-capable, so the two often combine in one space. If you need a clean isolated backdrop you can light cleanly or replace in post, an infinity cove is the answer. If you need every light source under deliberate control regardless of background, a blackout studio is the right tool.
What colours are infinity coves usually painted?
White is the default colour, since it works for almost any lighting setup and gives you the cleanest base to grade from. Most studios will repaint to brief on request, usually for an additional fee. The common alternatives are grey, black, and chroma-key green or blue, though specific colours can be arranged with the host. For longer bookings, the cost of a repaint is often built into the overall rate.
How do I book an infinity cove studio?
Two routes. Direct booking suits shorter shoots and predictable briefs. Find the listing, message the host through the platform, agree the date. The agent route works for bigger productions or anything where the brief is still in motion. A Locations Direct agent handles the search, recces, contracts and shoot-day logistics.
How much does it cost to hire an infinity cove studio?
Day rates vary across the infinity cove studio library, with each host setting their own pricing based on the size of the cove, the wider studio, the lighting kit available, the location and the type of shoot. Smaller coves built for product and headshot-scale work sit at one end of the range. Larger production-grade cyc walls with high ceilings and full grids sit at the other. Specific day rates come back once you contact the studio with your brief through the platform. For longer hires or non-standard bookings, you can negotiate directly with the host, or route the rates conversation through a Locations Direct agent.
Can I visit an infinity cove studio before booking?
Standard practice. Most infinity cove studio hosts welcome a recce so you can check the size of the cove, the curve depth, the lighting grid and the wider facilities before committing. Set the visit up through host messaging on the platform, or your Locations Direct agent will coordinate visits across a shortlist.

How far in advance should I book an infinity cove studio?
Smaller bookings often work fine on shorter notice. A week or two ahead handles most weekday slots and smaller spaces. The most-requested infinity cove studios and busy campaign periods (fashion season, product launches) book further out, so for larger productions or specific properties, allow two to four weeks. Agent-led bookings benefit from longer lead times because there's more to coordinate across availability and contracts.
Can I hire an infinity cove studio for a half day?
Often, yes. Many infinity cove studios offer half-day pricing alongside full-day and multi-day rates. Half-days usually split AM or PM. A full day matches a standard production day. Each listing shows the booking blocks available.
