this is a proposed two month trial between:

✓ annie, owner of black gold sun studios

✓ rhyiana, studio manager at bgs

✓ oleta, founder of riónce arts club

for march and april 2026 only.

nothing permanent is being agreed beyond that period.

/// riónce becomes a bgs partner who occupies 8-15 full days per month, covers £800 of annie’s rent for march and april & focuses on monthly re-occurring revenue ///

most days will be agreed and locked in at the start of each month so there is clarity on both sides.

on most riónce days, i will open and close the studio myself and remain present during the shoot where possible.

on those x specific days only [A]:

✓ riónce manages opening and closing

✓ riónce manages its own residents

✓ riónce ensures the studio is left clean and reset

✓ ryianna is not required to manage those days

I’ll also ensure we focus on:

✓ welcoming creatives into the space

✓ helping people settle in quickly

✓ building relationships with photographers using the studio

✓ encouraging repeat bookings and word of mouth

riónce takes responsibility for how the space is used on those allocated days.

outside of those days, the studio runs exactly as it does now.

OR [B] IF riónce is unable to open up & close up rhiyana will hopefully be able to open and close on those days. (compensation = £20 per day - 30 mins opening & 30 mins closing at end of day)

normally riónce residencies run for 4 months.

however, because this is a new studio partnership, march and april will act as a short trial period (phase 1).

this allows us to:

✓ test demand for residencies in the space

✓ bring new creatives into the studio

✓ see how the working structure feels for everyone

✓ build initial momentum around the studio

after these 2 months we can review what has worked well, decide together what the longer structure should look like and if we’d like to continue into phase 2.

/// phase 1 ///

✓ placing current riónce residents who need dependable space

/// phase 2 ///

this will not run on hope. i will focus on building structured residencies into the studio through a mix of:

✓ converting existing warm leads already in my network

✓ reaching out to a small number of aligned cold leads

✓ speaking directly to creatives already booking adhoc who may benefit from monthly structure

✓ promoting the space across riónce arts club & studios platforms

/// phase 2 focus ///

consistent monthly commitments, not one off bookings.

/// ryianna continues to focus on ///

adhoc and premium bookings

separate lanes. shared growth.

this is not about flooding the space randomly. it is about building a steady base and layering growth on top.

if an adhoc booking comes directly through riónce, whether through our network or a resident, and it sits outside of the allocated days, the split is:

/// 60% annie ///

/// 30% rihanna ///

/// 10% riónce ///

this only applies to bookings clearly generated by riónce.

all other bookings remain unchanged.

nothing changes.

outside of riónce allocated days:

✓ ryianna manages adhoc bookings and packages

✓ annie remains owner

✓ the existing split remains

non riónce bookings stay at:

/// 60% annie ///

/// 40% ryianna ///

that structure is untouched.

if rhyiana refers someone onto a riónce residency:

✓ she receives 10% of that resident’s monthly residency fee

✓ this continues for as long as the resident remains active

——

if annie refers someone onto a riónce residency:

✓ she receives 10% of that resident’s monthly residency fee (on top of the flat rate paid that month = £x)

✓ this continues for as long as the resident remains active

——

if riónce refers an adhoc booking to bgs:

✓ riónce receives 10% of that booking value

the idea is simple. we support each other’s lanes instead of overlapping them.
