Den Helder Ltd is named after a Dutch naval base my mother was born on many years ago. We named the company in tribute to this.
So tell us a bit about this studio...
Our studio is 25m2, with 3m high ceilings across most of the floor space, with background paper rollers built into the ceiling cavity. The studio was renovated extensively and redecorated in early 2023 and then completely kitted out with new equipement. The studio has wall mounted boom arms, to hold lighting and cables securely off the floor, when possible.
What equipment do you use?
Our cameras are all professional Sony mirrorless cameras, with a full range of Sony G Master lenses. We have a seperate, dedicated, fully equipped editing suite and shoot tethered to a larger screen for client viewing.
** We do not leave any lighting or camera equipment in our studio overnight or when we arent working in the studio. This is stored in a dedicated external secure facility.

Yes of course... the studio is fully compliant with fire safety including fire exits, signage and fire extinguishers as well as fire alarms for example. These are regulary certified by as required by law, by a fire safety company.
