About us
Photographers, welcome to heaven
At Studio Nero, we’ve built our very own cyclorama in Sydney’s northwest, delivering prestige photography and video in breathtaking leafy surrounds.
With years of commercial experience photographing and retouching upmarket motor vehicles, it was only natural we designed our own bespoke facility to elevate premium vehicle photography to the next level.

We're unique in Sydney
360° Cyclorama
Entirely self-contained 360° wraparound white walls and ceiling with bespoke doors that prevent light entering. The only true 360° studio in Sydney that closes fully. 50mm curved cornice creates the “infinity” effect. Matte white walls deaden shine, yet maximise the bounce of studio lights and eliminate shadows. Length 13 metres, width 7 metres, height 3 metres.
Vehicle Turntable
Our Motosphere° turntable has an operating capacity of 4,000 kgs, is 4.5 metres in diameter and can accommodate vehicles up to 6 metres long and 2.2m high. A remote control gives instant responsiveness rotating the turntable in either direction, and you’ll be amazed how silent it is.
Fully Equipped
Our lights, stands, tripods, reflectors, backdrops, light table and other studio equipment is included in our day hire rates. We can even hire out cameras and lenses if required. Our new set of Apature lights are available for an extra charge.
Control Room
The fully connected Control Room is the comfortable office space for visiting photographers and their clients. Run your business throughout the day with our cable internet, WIFI, PC and printer.

Breathtaking surrounds
Unwind and soak up the spiritual nourishment in our breathtaking garden glade. You’d never have thought a full day shoot could be so relaxing.
Art Gallery
For Charles Mouyat, “art” and “design” are all part of the same lifelong continuum. View Charles’ Archibald finalists, portraits and landscapes, and come along on his passion project to develop as an artist.
Sacred Bodhi Fig
According to Buddhist tradition, it was under a Bodhi Tree in 5th century BC India that spiritual teacher Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment, and became Buddha. Bodhi Trees (Ficus religiosa) are sacred throughout Asia, and our own “Bo Tree” is exceedingly beloved. May it bring you wisdom and spiritual awakening.
Loads of parking
Drive in for plentiful secluded parking on our broad tarmac. We can easily accommodate 8-10 cars while maintaining a throughfare on our circular driveway. Our asphalt pavement has a thick substrate engineered to accommodate heavy trucks. Rigid car carriers up to 11m in length can drive straight in and loop around to exit, while longer trailer carriers are encouraged to reverse off the road for an easy exit.
