Watermark Crossing is a brand-new custom-built photography studio on a one-acre property in Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills. The studio is named after the waterway that splits the property in two, with the studio only accessible via a boardwalk and bridge crossing in the wet season. The property’s two dams fill and empty with the seasons, with the water-level fluctuating in response to rainfall in the area. Macclesfield is a beautiful historic town with a village vibe, and is well known for its two pubs, one of which is the oldest pub in the Adelaide Hills.
Cog Creative Space is a co-working studio space with 12 creative professionals and associates representing all forms of photography and video production. The studio provides a friendly co-working space with shared resources. Our two studio spaces are available for hire by photographers and filmmakers, and are comfortable, well-resourced, and affordable. Our cyclorama and ceiling track lighting in temperature-controlled comfort offer an excellent standard of studio for visiting interstate creatives and South Australian freelancers.
