OUR STORY

Penda was born in April 2020 after the sharp pivot to everyday living (the pandemic). Bob Wheeler’s predominantly location-based photography business, became predominantly studio-based, so he decided to set up my own studio and get to white washing his brand new four walls!

For the last 2 years, it can be proudly said that Penda has become home to more photographers, videographers, producers, agents, families, friends, creatives and doers than ever imagined.

Penda has opened it’s shutters & hosted, commercials, music videos, maternity shoots, brand launches, birthday parties, networking events, to name a few, and this is just the beginning! The goal is for Penda to develop further as an inspiring, homely creative hub and go-to flexible private event space for creatives, brand creators, innovators and the London creative community.

Penda is committed to supporting people like you in every way possible, so that you can achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of and more. Penda is a Namibian diminutive for the name Pendapala, meaning "to be brave" and that’s what they urge you to do when executing your ideas in the studio. "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." ― John Wayne. So “Saddle up & make a mark” at Penda, your blank canvas.

Your new blank canvas!
