You may have already seen our expansive studio space that is available to hire (previously blogged), but we also have a separate cove space that is available to hire. This beautiful space comes fully equipped with a large cove and a changing room, and has already been used by the likes of Russian Vogue to name a few... This area can be separated off from our main studio space, or if needs be, can be part of the 2,500 sq ft room -we are ever so versatile! Here is some pictures of our second space, and our lovely dressing room. We also have desk space available at our Nice studio.

At Nice Images we support a home for social orphans in Nicaragua; a refuge for girls who have been victims of abuse and neglect. The orphanage, which is run by nuns, looks after 14 girls, giving them a warm and welcome place to live and study until they are old enough to leave. Every month Nice donates money to the orphanage to help it run. Our director Rachel goes out to Nicaragua at least twice a year, to go and help the nuns with her physical presence to look after the girls. We are very excited at Nice as our money, as well as the help from friends of Nice, has helped to build an extension, named 'the Hogar' to the existing orphanage. Rachel tells us that the girls have love their new outside space and are running wild in it! Here are some pictures of the orphanage and the building so far.... If you would like to donate, to help to continue this good work, please contact: rach@niceimages.net . Nice.

At Nice we love Topshop. We have been shooting Topshop's range for their website since the beginning of time and have always LOVED their stuff.

At Nice we have supported SURF for 11 years. Our director Andrew Sutton has helped SURF record the stories of survivors in Rwanda through film and photography – giving his time to travel to Rwanda to profile SURF’s work and the situation of the survivors . Without Drew’s support, SURF would be much the poorer – and the cause of survivors would be less known. For more information about Andrew and Rachel's (Nice's directors) most recent trip to...

Borne displays simple yet unique design using a mix of pastel colours as well as bright corals and dusty pinks, with a theme of frills that runs throughout the collection.
