Absolutely. You’re welcome to bring your own lighting, props, or equipment. Just be mindful and respectful of the space and existing set-up.
Is it okay to play music?
Our studio is located within an office building, so we kindly ask that from Monday to Thursday (during business hours), you keep noise at a reasonable level to respect neighbouring businesses.
If your session calls for extra energy, louder music, or a more vibrant atmosphere, we recommend booking on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, when higher noise levels are more suitable.

The Light Loft is at the same location and yes, we took over from Slani Studio. Slani Studio was established in 2023 as the go-to content studio for natural light in Sydney. In September 2025 we took over the space and now operate under the name The Light Loft. Same location, safeguarding the vibe you love with new additions and a new name!
