Amy’s decision to open Farm View as a shoot location wasn’t an impulsive one. After ten years of considered renovation – choosing each finish, each texture, each moment of light – she began having professional photographs taken for her own Instagram account.
Tucked into the East Midlands, Minimal Mid Century DE73 is one of those spaces that photographers and creative directors return to again and again. It’s calm, considered and quietly extraordinary: a family home that doubles as one of the most versatile shoot locations on the platform.
Ask any photographer what they need most from a location house and the answer comes back the same way almost every time: good natural light. Not a ring light, not a softbox, not a beautifully painted ceiling — natural light. The kind that comes through large windows in the morning and wraps around a kitchen in a way that no amount of equipment can fully replicate.
There are location houses, and then there are locations that feel like someone poured their entire creative life into a single space. New Minimalism — E4 is firmly the latter. Nestled in East London and available to book on Styled Home Studios, this design-led home is the project of Beth G: art director, stylist, and someone who has been working in the interiors industry since she was sixteen years old.
If you’re a brand photographer – or a business owner planning your own shoot – finding the right location house can feel like the hardest part of the process. You need natural light at the right time of day, rooms that match your client’s brand colours, a kitchen that photographs well, and a Host who understands what a shoot actually involves.
If you’re welcoming a crew for the first time or you’re already a seasoned Styled Home Studios Host, this guide will help you with insights, shoot etiquette and general tips to help every shoot day run smoothly.
Early spring is one of the smartest times to shoot – not just for spring content, but to get ahead and capture summer campaigns before the season even arrives. With the right location and a thoughtful approach, garden shoots in early spring can deliver content that feels light, effortless and completely in tune with the months ahead.
At Styled Home Studios, we believe that beautiful spaces are only part of the picture. What really matters is how confidently you can book, plan and show up on the day – knowing the space will work, expectations are aligned and there won’t be any unwelcome surprises.
