Industrial style photography locations in Norfolk

Industrial-style, exposed-brick filming locations like Saint Clements Hall make a valuable addition to Norfolk’s film location landscape.

Unlike Norfolk’s stately period locations, industrial style spaces bring a raw, urban feel. Exposed brick and the metal framework from our steel walkway offer a minimalist look that’s highly adaptable for scenes requiring an modern vibe or a neutral backdrop that doesn’t strongly place the productions location in a particular geographical setting which is great for international advertising campaigns.

The look of Dragons Den style bare brick locations are a useful tool for a range of film and photography genres. This can be especially appealing for productions that want a less polished, more authentic setting ideal for interviews, fashion editorials, or even documentaries.

Visual Depth for photographers

Exposed brick brings in a richness of texture and depth, which enhances the contrast and layering of visual compositions. This tactile quality works well in both film and photography, lending a grounded, dimensional look to shots. Brick surfaces, particularly in red tones, tend to absorb light, creating softer, natural shadows without the harsh glare that can come from other reflective surfaces which can cause photographers dynamic range issues with camera sensors.

This feature can be ideal for intimate portraits or interviews, where a diffused, softer focus on subjects is often preferred.

The warm, earthy hues of red brick complement skin tones, which is advantageous for lifestyle and portrait photography, where natural and flattering lighting can make a significant difference.

Unique Norfolk shoot location

Given the scarcity of industrial-style properties in Norfolk, locations like Saint Clements Hall would bring a fresh, highly sought-after aesthetic to the region. This unique appeal could attract a wider variety of projects and clients seeking the contemporary, industrial feel that’s harder to come by in traditional countryside settings.
