First established in 1987 under the name Studio Decor, the business began supplying props to the photography profession, the business grew as more and more photographers demanded quality props and products. The LuxS marque was introduced as our own label / in-house manufactured quality brand in 2010.
At the beginning of 2015 the business changed hands. The new Company, Studio Answers Limited was formed and headed by Gareth & Sheila Phillips. Upon acquiring the business, the decision was taken to change the trading name from Studio Decor to LuxS. Our primary focus is Customer Service, we want to succeed through providing the best possible buying experience, whether that is with one to one contact or through our easy to use Website.

Services
We have contracted for some of the largest building Companies in the UK, performed installations in Universities and Colleges, Hospitals, Professional Studios. We regularly install Backdrop systems and Ceiling Track / Hi Glide mechanisms in smaller / home studios & environments. Prices can vary due to difficulty of the job and location but we try and keep pricing reasonable, simply email or call for more details.
Many photographers will consider opening a photography studio of their own. However, most won't have the luxury of sufficient studio experience. This means it's hard to choose the right equipment, layout and all the other elements needed to create an efficient and productive working environment. If you are considering setting up a studio, then you'll find our Studio Design & Build services useful.
Background paper is a very versatile background which is cheap, quick and easy to set up. Colorama - The most established and well known brand of paper in the industry with 55 colours and 7 size options. Just as people refer to a vacuum cleaner as 'Hoover' so people refer to a roll of background paper as a roll of 'Colorama'!

The team installed a custom 2 section wall at my new studio in Hackney and I am delighted with the result, it will transform the way I shoot and what I can offer clients. Literally the day after the install I had a client meeting with a bed linen company who need to shoot a full room set which would not have been possible before. The team communicated very well with me leading up the day and worked efficiently throughout. Highly recommended!

If I need anything for the studio this is my go to place. The service is outstanding and Gareth will always share his knowledge with you so you get the best possible product for your needs and quite often a lot cheaper than expected! The set up he did for my studio is brilliant and 5 years on still doing the job. I love how you can customise your background rolls to suit. Highly recommended.

I can’t recommend LuxS Studio Answers highly enough. Not only do they have fantastic products available but the advice about best products is second to none. I found the company by googling lighting bracketed to the ceiling and approached them thinking this is what I needed. After speaking to Gareth he realised I’d be much better suited to lights bracketed to the walls. A much cheaper and better product considering the space I am working with. Thank you so much.

I approached Gareth over the phone after a google search and a vague idea of what I wanted. I must admit that he not only was able to help with my initial request but provided an expert opinion and suggested a fit to measure solution for my background which had several advantages over what I had in mind originally. The LuxS background setup is a beautifully crafted and engineered piece of equipment that has definitely exceeded my expectations. I also had a most wonderful Customer service experience from start to finish as nothing was too small or too big and all my emails, phone calls and requests

After seeing LuxS at the Photography Show last year and being recommended their services by a few other photographers I bit the bullet and got in touch to help me kit out my new studio. Gareth couldn't have been more helpful with advice and suggestion. After defining what was needed and the installation date in the diary, Gareth and Pete travelled through the night down to this southern part of the country to install.
They were both super helpful (tidy too!!) and were able to put together exactly what was needed in the space I have! A fantastic job.... super helpful at walking me through the set
