About Us
Get in touchOur Story
f22 Studios was born from the shared vision of John and Ken, two photographers with years of experience at Bluestar Digital Imaging Ltd and Wilko’s photography studio. They spotted a gap in the market for a dedicated commercial, product and e-commerce photography studio in Nottinghamshire, and set out to build a space where brands could get great images without the stress.
Before long, Hannah joined the team as a Studio Co-ordinator, bringing sharp organisation and a flair for styling that keeps every project running smoothly. Together, the three of us make sure every shoot feels well-planned, relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.
Since opening, we’ve worked with a wide mix of clients, from local businesses to well-known brands. What they all have in common is the trust they place in us to deliver photography that’s creative, detail-driven and built around their needs. With a spacious drive-in studio, flexible room sets and a large infinity cove, we’ve got the tools to make that happen, whether it’s product, lifestyle, corporate or advertising photography.

We believe the creative process should feel simple and enjoyable. From first ideas to final delivery, we’ll guide you through and keep everything running smoothly. Reliable, efficient and easy to work with, we focus on building lasting relationships and creating visuals that do exactly what you need them to.

Behind every successful shoot is Hannah, keeping F22 Studios running smoothly. As our Studio Co-ordinator, she manages quotes and acts as the client account handler, ensuring every project is organised from start to finish. Her enthusiasm, organisation, and eye for detail shine through in everything from styling sets and prepping samples to managing logistics and keeping shoot days on track. Always ten steps ahead, she’s often tweaking the tiniest details before anyone else has even noticed.
As a busy mum of two, Hannah still makes time for running, badminton, and catching up with friends. She loves a good social and is usually first on (and last off!) the dance floor.
