What is Cheese?
Cheese is a self-portrait studio where you take the shots. No awkward posing. No one watching. Just great lighting, a remote shutter, and 30 minutes to capture yourself exactly how you want to be seen—professional, playful, powerful, or all of the above.
Your Moment. Your Studio. Your Way.
Pick Your Shoot
-
60 Minutes Shoot— £150 inc VAT
Plenty of time to warm up, change outfits, try multiple backdrops, and take it at your own pace.
-
30 Minute Shoot — £80 inc VAT
Quick, fun, and focused—great if you’re short on time but still want a standout shot.
What You Get

Your edited image is the polished one, the one. We’ll retouch light, colour and exposure, and smooth out any lines, wrinkles, creases, flyaways or blemishes). You still look like you—just your best, most confident self.
Need more? You can always add extras after your shoot.
-
As many as you can take in the time you book. Most people leave with hundreds of images, depending on how fast you shoot and how many people are in the frame. You’ll get every photo taken during your session, sent to you digitally the same day.
-
We offer a variety of backdrop colours.
Current colours

Add an extra backdrop to your session for £15 per backdrop.
You can choose this when you book or decide on the day (time allowing).
-
When you book a session at Cheese, the space is completely private, just you, the camera, and the clicker.
It’s your time to play, express, and show up however you want to.
A member of the Cheese team will be on hand to show you how it works and answer any questions but once you're set up, it’s all you.
Bring your playlist, bring your vibe, and make it yours.
