First shoot at Kempston with Paula W. Where do I start. I've heard plenty of good things about Andy and the studio that I had to take the opportunity to shoot there when I could. Andy the owner is a really nice guy, helpful, chatty, on hand but not looking over your shoulder.

The Studio - small but packs a punch with so many sets and props that can be moved around or wheeled into place I was lost for where to start. Andy took me through what he's got, how it works - but in the end I just kept it simple.

Great studio, helpful owner...what more could you ask for. Another studio day - see you in a couple of weeks Andy. 100% recommended by me

It was amazing to work with Andy again, and spending 3 days at his studio! The support he’s offering to models and photographers is incredible, every single time we needed anything during the shoot Andy was straight away offering his help and honestly you’ll only understand how amazing he is if you decide to shoot with Andy or hire his studio.

The Christmas sets that he built in his studio were absolutely brilliant, but not only that, every set it, and the possibilities are endless! And I’m sure I’ve mentioned that before :)

Honestly what a fantastic place to produce great images, I wish I lived closer so I could visit the studio more often :) It's definitely of the best studios in the UK!

Thank you Andy for all your help and support during my model days and after! You've been amazing the whole time.

1000000000% recommended :)

Another successful session of shooting with Kate Star at this superb studio! Really well organised and plenty of sets and props available for usage!

Andy was on hand to help out with setting up the sets needed, and also to give advice on what camera settings would be ideally suited. Really efficient, very advising and superb hospitality for both photographer and model! And a top bloke to socialise with in-between photographing!

Cannot recommend this studio enough and I can’t wait to return here again soon!

Being my first photo shoot, I found myself feeling quite nervous and uncertain about the process.

However, Andy and Andrew quickly created a comfortable atmosphere from the outset. They even kindly offered me some tea, adding a thoughtful touch to the experience.

Andy's extensive knowledge in the field is truly commendable, making him the standout choice. Having had the pleasure of working with them on two occasions, I wholeheartedly recommend Andy and Andrew to anyone aspiring to embark on a modelling career.

Wow!! I don't even know where to start... :)

Sooo I was shooting close by to the studio and was so excited when Andy agreed to a studio weekend :) I had heard literally the nicest things about him and how much I'd love the studio.

Everyone was right he's lovely so kind, professional and runs a successful business that everyone enjoys.

Andy is just incredibly talented! The studio is fully equipped and every little part of it is thought of in such detail! He's very creative and interesting to talk to.

The studio is busy and rightly so, it's got something for absolutely everybody.

I shot in most sets that was easily set up and still there's so much more!! Such a versatile place. Andy's always at hand to help with lights and props which I find useful :)

I was lucky enough to get the chance to shoot with Andy whilst here too!

The studio is warm, clean with excellent tea and coffee facilities!! Andy even got me some Gluten Free snacks!!

The props and outfits the studio have is endless!! The biggest variety I have ever seen!!

All the photographers were on time and the whole weekend ran smoothly. I was sad to leave!! Here's to the next one!!! :)

All in all I just want to say thank you for such an amazing weekend.

I love shooting at Kempston Studio. Andy is always helpful and friendly and runs a great studio. I shot there yesterday, with Bella Peach and the input that Andy provided with help and ideas for lighting turned a great shoot into a fantastic one. My grateful thanks. See you soon.

So I have been to Kempston studio three times now for studio days and every time has been amazing! Andy is such a good studio owner, he runs the studio days so well and the model is always incredibly well looked after.

Andy is great at advertising the studio days too, particularly this time when I wasn’t on it like the last 2 times he was so accommodating and patient and helped me fill the day.

On the day everything is kept to time and the photographers that attend are well looked after just like the model.

The studio is very clean and well equipped and an all round great studio to shoot from for so many reasons!

Andy is unbelievably lovely too! I do hope I can return again! Wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful studio!

I had such a great time in the Kempston studio yesterday! It was a fabulous experience! I responded to a casting call, and Andy got back to me very promptly. He provided all the necessary details, which he conveniently organized in one list on my calendar. On the day of the shoot, he met me near the studio and kindly helped with my heavy bag, which was very considerate. Andy was remarkably kind, friendly, and helpful. He even offered me drinks and gave me a tour of his fantastic studio.

First and foremost, the studio features a fabulous changing room with an extensive selection of fantastic outfits, props, jewelry, and everything a model might need, including a large mirror with excellent lighting and various hygiene items. The studio itself is impressive from an engineering perspective. It can be transformed within seconds thanks to movable panel walls with completely different colors and styles. This allows the studio to offer dozens of different sets that can change in minutes. Moreover, there is a vast array of beautiful furniture and props, all decorated with impeccable taste, creating a gorgeous atmosphere. You can find various techniques, including lighting and gels, at your disposal. The studio also provides parking, a comfortable toilet, and even a shower. 😻

Furthermore, Andy is always ready to help with anything you may need. He is not only helpful but also an interesting and friendly person, making for great conversations.

Thank you so much for having me in your studio! It was a fantastic day, and I was very happy to meet you and work in your fantastic studio. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again! Thank you!

Just returned from my first shoot here and what can I say other than Amazing!

The studio is gorgeous with so many sets and props to shoot and a plethora of lighting options as well.

Andy was incredibly welcoming and put me at ease from the get-go. I thoroughly recommend this studio to anyone and will certainly be back here again!

This is my third shoot at Kempston and still my favourite studio. It's very spacious with many backdrops. The dressing area is great and there are sanitary products available. I have a studio day on December 2nd so I can't wait to return

This venue is by far the best studio I have ever had the privilege to shoot in. The studio is spacious and incredibly versatile with so many different set options available that every photographer I worked with over the two days had totally different images! Kempston also has lighting equipment in abundance so pretty much every single lighting combo you could want to try can be achieved. The props are great, from the plants to chairs, they all help to add to the different sets and don't clutter the place at all. The changing room is well equipped with everything you could need and gives you perfect privacy.

Furthermore, the star of Kempston Studio is the lovely Andy. He's an absolute gem and the true reason behind such a successful studio. He puts so much time and dedication into the studio days, from the invites linking to people's portfolio's for ease of communication down to finding out snacks the model would like ao he can leave them in the changing room. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Andy and he supplies food and drink in abundance. I, for one, deeply appreciate this. Keeping me fed and warm throughout the studio day makes me very happy and able to provide my best to the photographers. Andy is so happy to help the photographers and its clear he has a great rapport with the photographers who attend. I simply couldn't ask for a better host or a better studio. I lobe working here and will gladly return time and time again. Andy, you're a star and please know I appreciated everything you did for me.

Thankyou for an epic weekend, I can't wait to be back!

I had the very good fortune of doing a remote photo shoot with @Angleblacluk at Kempton Studio. This happened the be the first remote shoot done from this studio. I must say that the owner (Andy) could not have been more helpful during the shoot. Everything went very smoothly and our images are proof of that. I eagerly recommend Andy and the studio (both in-person and remote shoots).

I had my second shoot at this great studio today with the lovely Roxy M.

As before Andy was very helpful in setting up the lighting and sets. Nothing is too much trouble for him and I will definitely be using the studio again in the future.

Highly recommended to all photographers.

Rebecca Perry

Another super shoot at this studio. Andy is always very helpful, had things set up before I arrived in the way I asked. He was always available to set up the lights when I needed assistance. I am looking forward to my next shoot in a few weeks and can recommend the studio wholeheartedly.

Thank you Andy for a well organised day.

This was my second shoot at Kempston Studio. This time it was a duo day with Zara Fox and Hattie Grace.

Andy the owner was on hand to move lighting and furniture as required. Also to make tea and coffee.

Colin Mac

As always, Andy organised a great studio day with Kate Star, and was on hand when required to change sets/lights etc. and of course kept our coffee cups filled.

The studio is incredibly versatile and can be reconfigured to a wide variety of sets.

Highly recommended and will be using again

Another fantastic shoot at Kempston Studio, this time with Roseanne as the model. As always, Andy was very helpful with the lighting and props. I can't recommend this studio highly enough. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

After my initial studio familiarisation session with andy, previous feedback below, I had a studio shoot.

Andy does make the studio, although the facilities are great too. His knowledge, respect for models and photographers just shines through, and he is always there to help or not depending on the needs of the individual.

Just a great place to shoot and I really enjoyed my time there which is the most important thing for me. I am now editing away on some great shots which Andy really help me on some of the technicalities.

I'm going to be a regular at the studio without a doubt. Highly recommended.
