About this space

Tucked into the creative heart of Newstead, QLD, Newstead Studios offers a purpose-built, shoot-ready space designed to meet the demands of professional creatives. With its expansive industrial footprint, this 132sqm upstairs studio brings together function, flexibility, and atmosphere—perfect for everything from fashion editorials to large-scale brand activations.

The space is anchored by its commanding New York loft-style feature window, a natural backdrop that bathes the adjoining lounge area in ambient light. Soaring 6-metre ceilings and exposed beams elevate the open-plan layout, while rustic timber floorboards add warmth and texture—ideal for shoots seeking a raw, architectural edge. A corner cyclorama (9.1m x 6.2m) offers ample scope for clean, seamless imagery, while a separate white wall and timber floor zone delivers versatility for lookbooks, furniture shoots, or content requiring a tonal shift.

Every inch of the studio is built with productivity in mind. Retractable skylights modulate the light flow throughout the day, offering both brightness and control. Onsite essentials—like a dedicated hair and makeup station, two clothes racks, product tables, and a work trolley—support fast-paced setups and changes. There’s a private change room, shower, and gendered bathrooms to keep teams moving comfortably during full-day bookings.

Beyond its technical assets, Newstead Studios is a creative sanctuary. The built-in lounge space invites relaxed collaboration between shots, while the onsite café downstairs is a welcome perk for early call times or post-shoot wind-downs. Climate control, strong Wi-Fi, and two included onsite car parks round out the offering.

Located directly across from a Bunnings car park and surrounded by metered street parking, access is smooth for cast, crew, and gear. Whether you’re staging a campaign shoot, running a workshop, or producing branded content, this Newstead location blends gritty character with logistical ease—making it one of Brisbane’s most shoot-efficient spaces.
