Best Photography Studios in Dublin (2026)

Introduction

These six Dublin photography studios cover campaign, product, editorial and e-commerce work, and five of them also rent their spaces to outside crews. Each one has a Greater Dublin base and named commercial clients or work that could be checked in 2026.

Dublin’s commercial photography market is small and made up mostly of owner-run studios. Drinks, retail, tourism and financial services supply much of the work, and the client lists below include Irish Distillers, Fáilte Ireland, Guinness and PTSB.

Firms were chosen for their commercial client work and for evidence of a working studio this year. A hire space with no client work we could confirm did not make the cut. The list runs in no fixed order of merit, since the right choice depends on whether you need a photographer, a room or both.

The best photography studios in Dublin

1. ANPM Studios

Independent, founder-led · Dublin 1 · anpmstudios.com

ANPM Studios is a photography and film studio led by founder and creative director Abe Neihum, working from a daylight studio at 3 Denmark Street Great. It handles campaign photography, brand films and social content, with retouching, editing and grading in-house. It has been a photographer for the National Gallery of Ireland since 2019 and shot nominee portraits for the Zurich Portrait Prize in 2021 and 2023.

Clients named on its site include Irish Distillers, Fáilte Ireland, Vodafone, Barry’s Tea, Dingle Distillery and LifeStyle Sports, and it lists Thinkhouse as an agency collaborator. The studio can also be hired, at €75 an hour or €500 for a full day before VAT, with blackout blinds, a make-up area and Godox lighting kits.

2. Mill Studios

Independent · Harold’s Cross · photographystudio.ie

Mill Studios provides facilities hire and media production for Irish creative agencies, publishers and production companies, from the third floor of The Mill on Greenmount Industrial Estate. Its business profile gives a founding date of 2008. There are two hire rooms, North and South, each listed for up to 60 people. The North Studio has high ceilings, large windows and a cyclorama, and there is a full kitchen and free parking.

Listed clients include The Irish Times, RTÉ, Virgin Media Television, Wilson Hartnell, Element Pictures and O’Briens Wines. Product Photography.ie, run by principal photographer Peter Love, works from the same address and links to the Mill Studios site. It covers packshots, catalogue, food and drink, jewellery and 360-degree product spins for retailers, distributors and agencies.

3. 50Hz Photography

Independent · O’Connell Street · 50hzphotography.ie

50Hz Photography shoots product e-commerce, advertising, interiors and architecture, with 360-degree panoramas and video alongside. Piotr Zawistowski is the photographer named in its client testimonials. Sports retail is a visible strength: testimonials come from Life Style Sports and from Intersport Elverys, whose work covered Nike, adidas, Puma, ASICS, Reebok and Under Armour ranges.

The studio at 43 O’Connell Street Upper is also available to hire. Studio A is a 20 square metre blackout room and Studio B a 30 square metre white room with a large window, both with strobes, softboxes and paper backdrops included. Rates start at €65 an hour and reach €440 for a full day. The space takes up to six people, so it suits small product and portrait shoots better than large crews.

4. Sean Breithaupt Photography

Independent · Dublin · seanbreithaupt.com

Sean Breithaupt is a commercial, lifestyle and editorial photographer with more than 15 years of experience, listed at Beach Studios on Strand Road. He won Gold in the Environment category at the 2025 AOP Awards for “Patterns in a Floodzone”, after being an AOP finalist in 2024 and appearing in Communication Arts in 2023.

His client list is the broadest here for advertising and editorial combined: Aer Lingus, Guinness, Jameson, Irish Distillers, Fáilte Ireland, Dell Technologies, Flutter Entertainment, PTSB and Uisce Éireann, plus The Financial Times, The Guardian, Le Monde and The Washington Post. This is a photographer-led practice, so book it for the person’s eye and approach. His site does not advertise a hire space.

5. Fade Street Studios

Independent · City centre · fadestreetstudios.ie

Fade Street Studios is a three-room hire facility at 14 Fade Street in Dublin 2, used for editorial and commercial stills, music videos and team shoots. Studio A is a photography room with a white cyclorama and coloured backdrops. Studio B measures 8m by 8m with an 8m ceiling and natural light from Victorian windows, and Studio C is set up for multicam podcasts and interviews. Hire starts at €70 an hour, with a two-hour minimum, and the venue holds a 4.8 rating from 43 Tagvenue reviews, including photo and film bookings through 2026.

It shares its address and website links with FruitFrame, a video production company whose listed clients include Google, Guinness, AIB, Aviva, Teeling Whiskey and Coca-Cola. Those clients are FruitFrame’s rather than the studio’s, but the pairing is useful if a shoot needs film crew on site.

6. SG Studios

Independent · Ballycoolen, Dublin 15 · sgstudios.ie

SG Studios is a production studio in Ballycoolen built around The Cloud, a white cyclorama room with lighting and audio pre-configured. It offers product shoots, photography, headshots, brand films and on-location production, and dry hire starts at €85 an hour plus VAT.

It is the newest business on this list and is still running a launch offer, so its client base is small. Testimonials come from the managing directors of Radium Technologies and Ventsolve. The room has no natural light and suits small crews, which makes it a practical choice for product stills and branded video on a white background.

What to look for in a Dublin photography studio

Decide first whether you are hiring a photographer, a room or both. ANPM Studios, Mill Studios and 50Hz Photography do all of it under one roof. Fade Street Studios and SG Studios are the better starting point if you have your own photographer, while Sean Breithaupt is a choice about a particular visual approach.

Match the room to the shoot. Cyclorama height, daylight, blackout and access all vary a good deal across a few Dublin postcodes, and a room that works for packshots may not hold a campaign crew with styling and make-up. Ask about loading too, since Mill Studios is on a third floor and city-centre streets limit van access. A recce is worth the hour.

Listed hire rates in Dublin ran from about €65 to €90 an hour in late 2026 among the studios here. Check whether a quote includes VAT, which is 23% in Ireland, and whether lighting, backdrops and a studio assistant are in the price. Some rooms include strobes and others charge separately for kit.

Agree the paperwork on licensing and files before the shoot: usage terms and territories, who holds the RAW files, how many retouching rounds are included and how long the studio keeps the archive. Clear delivery and a single review thread save time once a campaign has several approvers across brand and agency.

How Fabric helps photography studios

Fabric gives a photography team one workspace for shoot libraries, client feedback and studio knowledge, and the setup for photographers is built around that work. RAW libraries, selects and retouched masters sit in the cloud drive, where files stream on demand and take no local disk space, so a retoucher or second shooter can work from the same shared folder.

Finding a past frame is where search helps. It works by meaning across images, documents and transcribed audio and video, and colour search finds assets by shade, which suits a brand re-shoot that has to match an earlier palette. Similar search takes a selected image and surfaces others by composition, colour and subject.

Client feedback runs through sharing. Share a folder of selects with the client as a commenter, and they can open it without signing up, then draw on an image and attach a comment to the drawing. On video and audio they can leave timestamped comments, and a video comment can include a drawing on the frame. The team marks each comment completed as the retouch is done, so a round of feedback works like a checklist.

For final delivery, any file or folder can be published as a web page, which is view-only with optional download. Add password protection for unreleased campaigns, and link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a gallery and how long they spent with it.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.
