FIVE YEARS

Happy Fifth Birthday to Oswald & Barcom Studios

It only seems like yesterday when I decided to redesign the Crossfire Photography working studio into a multipurpose hire studio space. I am not big on marketing … actually, I still have the flyers in the office from five years ago and sooner or later I will get them out. So it is the regulars and word of mouth that have kept Oswald & Barcom alive. This year has been the busiest so far and we have seen more & more repeat bookings perhaps we are doing something right?

Oswald & Barcom has worked as a Stills Studio, Video Studio, Gallery Space, Life Drawing Space, Meeting Space, Offsite Space, Popup Gallery / Shop, Party Venue & Glamour Studio

Although I can’t mention everyone - I would like to thank some of the regulars.
