Did a second shoot here with Digital Visions and Brian is a lovely guy...Brian is a very genuine guy that is down to earth, easy going and makes you feel very welcome...the studio is perfect too with very high ceilings and props...

I have shot at the studio five times now, every time a warm welcome from Brian, what is at the studio as well as good lighting and advice from Brian, is a pole, silks, rope and hoop for posing. Alternatively there are the possibility of a good locations to shoot in.

The Cottage is the perfect studio for any mad, crazy athletic model like myself - equipped with high ceilings and aerial rigs as well as expert help with lighting from Brian!

I very much enjoyed my three full days at The Cottage, Brian kindly collected me from Haywards Heath Station each day and made sure I was kept cool enough with fans and water in the super duper heated weekend!

The studio is also a short walk from some stunning natural locations - woodlands and bridges which make it very versatile to do half studio half location for example.

There are not many studios in the UK which have the height and space to allow me to jump about, but The Cottage certainly does and I would be more than happy to return!

This week I've spent 2 days at the cottage studio and it's very quickly becoming my favourite place to shoot. It's so versatile, with it's beautiful secluded woodland areas and a studio that is spacious, insulated, fully equipped and warm! Brian is incredibly helpful collecting me from the station and dropping me back, he is a true professional and I always feel 100% safe relaxed and happy in his studio.

Brian is the best kind of studio owner, he's there if you want him but leaves you to it when you're good to shoot. He made sure I was warm and topped up with tea and has an awesome selection of music!

I'll be back in a few weeks to drink more tea and dress up in the fabulous selection of outfits!

Thanks Brian x

Had a quick hour at Photo39 on a studio day.

Amazing facilities so much opportunity and props that I plan to go back very soon for a much longer session.

Highly recommended.

Great shoot at The Cottage Studio again today. As always, Brian was friendly, welcoming, and a great host. He was good enough to leave us to our own devices throughout the shoot, but was never too far away if I assistance moving lights and reflectors.

Highly recommended.

I made my debut at the cottage studio on a full days studio day.

It's a really nice space with great lighting equipment and I was impressed with how quickly it warmed up!

Brian himself is very considerate and attentive and if me or the photographers needed anything, he would always help out with a smile ☺

Some really impressive props there like the iron ring and the silks too and plenty of outfits and accessories to use.

I really enjoyed my day there and hope to return.

I had a fantastic second shoot at Brian's studio whilst hosting a duo studio day with the talented Minh-Ly.

Brian is always a very generous host and kindly picked both of us up at the station, he continued to show his generosity by making sure we were well equipped with all our needs at the studio and provided us with plenty of cups of tea to keep us fuelled.

I would highly recommend the studio, it is a great space with lots of different props and equipment that you can make full use of. Overall, highly recommend :)

I had a wonderful experience at Photo39's studio. Brian kindly picked both Olivia-Rose and myself from the station and drove us to his studio.

His studio is impressively well equipped with a lighting setups, props (even performance accessories such as aerial silk and hoops), wardrobe and a private dressing room for models.

Brian was always helpful and attentive to everyone's needs and I was impressed by the amount of work he devoted to his studio such as catalogs of pictures done in his studio as well as tons of books related to photography and performances studies (yoga, hoops, etc.).

I greatly enjoyed my experience and I hope to be back again.

Used Brian's Cottage Studio for the first time yesterday on the occasion of Jessica Taylor's studio day. I found him to be very welcoming and very helpful in setting up the lights and various props for the images. He also ensured that the model was warm, essential if she was going nude in the shoot. Nothing was too much trouble for Brian, even to ensuring that morning coffee was provided. I would highly recommend the studio and look forward to visiting again for a photoshoot.

Had a fabulous two days at Cottage Studios last week . Brain was an awesome host , picked me up from the train station , was on hand to help and assist photographers , and follow me around with the stern heating ;) .I was very impressed with this studio , its not the biggest of spaces but hell you can do a lot in that space due to the sheer number of props and clever set ups . Ive seen far more done in this studio than bigger studios . There is also an awsome outdoor space that I didn't get the pleasure to visit . Brain is just wonderful too as he managed to fill both days and I barley lifted a finger . I feel safe and at home in this studio I truly enjoyed my time here . See you soon Jess x

Highly recommend...I shot here today for another photographer and Brian made me feel so comfortable...Brian is warm hearted and made sure I was nice and warm. Brian chatted to us both and made plenty of cups of tea haha. Nothing is too much trouble for Brian and I would highly recommend anyone to work here. The studio itself is spacious with loads of props (the hats were a favourite of Sparkles...nice Sparkly ones haha).

100% from Sparkles.

Worked again at The Cottage Studio for my studio day. Always feels like a home from home I love working at and Brian the owner is a lovely man and is always on hand to assist if needed :)

I have been using Photo39 for a year now. I did my first shoot here a year ago. I had not heard of Purple Port then. Brian has taught me loads about studio shoots. He is always extemely helpfull with loads of different equipment. Highly recommended. I will undoubtably be using Photo39/The Cottage Studio in the future. Thanks Brian.

As a photographer I have used Brian's Cottage Studio for over five years. He has a very good range of lighting equipment, props and clothing that you can use as you wish. Brian is very helpful and happy to assist with setting up the lights and generally moving things around. Critically, for nude shoots, he keeps the studio nice and warm so no goose pimples on your models. Brian will also introduce you to some out side areas that can be used for shots if you want.

Brian's studio hire rates are very competitive.

Highly recommended!

I've lost count of the amount of studio days I've done at Brians place now, at least 1 if not 2 everytime I visit the area. We always sell out and the day always runs smoothly :)

Brian keeps the studio lovely and warm and provides plenty of cuppas throughout the day as well as great assistance to the photographers, including lots of different props :D

Happily recommended by me!

I think ive worked so mant times at the cottage brian must think I live there :)

Had a few great shoots there this week.

The studio is always immaculate, brian is extremely helpful and lovely all day.

He often picks models up from the station if needed and always offers to drop them back.

His studio must have every modifyer, item of clothing and prop you can think of :)

Well worth a visit at the cottage!
