Wow, where do I start??

Let me start with the hostess. Laura you are awesomeness personified. Extremely welcoming, professional, talented, and utterly lovely to boot. Within seconds I felt like I had known Laura for years and was made to feel extremely comfortable.

The studio space is amazing, as is the eqipment. Laura's attention to detail is sublime.

I had an amazing evening and am absolutely thrilled with the images I obtained. I have already booked my next session there.

Laura, thank you so much for having me. I can't wait to work with you again.

What an amazing space to work in, and what an amazing host Laura is. As an experienced model, Laura knows what is needed in a studio. The range of equipment to use, as well as sets and props is incredible - all at a very reasonable price.

Highly recommended, I am already looking forward to my next shoot at Aura Studio.

Finally managed to do a shoot at this cool studio. Situated just outside Newmarket this place has loads of parking, loads of backdrops, an infinity curve and loads of lights, modifiers and props. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided and with Tesco’s only a few minutes away anything you have forgotten is easily picked up. Friendly knowledgable and helpful staff Male shooting here an absolute pleasure. Will be shooting here again I’m sure!

Finally managed to find the time to visit the studio, a body paint shoot with Draycom Designs decorating and styling Jezebelle.

A great studio to work in. A good number of sets to utilise and a good size infinity curve. An abundance of space which is clutter free. A good selection of lighting options and modifiers are available.

It's only drawback - it's too far away for me to use regularly :(. Aura shall, however, be top of the list if I'm looking for studio space in the area.

Had a group shoot here last Wednesday. This is a very good studio with different sets for different ideas, it is large and spacious with a good selection of lighting which is competently run by Laura who will help you get the pictures you want. There is also a good supply of tea and coffee which helps things along nicely. Laura is also a very good model in her own right. Book it,recommended.

Much appreciated the extensive facilities in this large, well appointed studio located on a commercial estate in Newmarket. Laura was gorgeous and helpful and we got some great shots ably assisted by the ever helpful Rob. Would strongly recommend the studio and Laura. Looking forward to working at Aura again soon.

Well - this was my first time shooting at Aura Studio since Laura had taken over and I must say, I was blown away!!!

Aura is the TIDIEST studio I have ever worked at!!! Everything has its place, yet none of the equipment or props use up any of the shooting space!! The space itself is SO BIG!! A perfect infinity cove as well as a great range of sets!! The infinity cove is great for dance and jump work also as the ceiling I so high and the studio has a wonderful boom arm! The rest of the lighting and general equipment available is great too!

Laura is always on hand if needed! She is amazing at setting up light and is also happy to standby to catch a model if her pose goes wrong, or even put a model into a specific position! Laura goes above and beyond to make sure that the model and photographer leaves her studio happy!

It is so so clear how enthusiastic Laura is! She LOVES the studio and that really shows!! She has put so much work into the place and it has really paid off!!! She is so creative and her ideas for the future of the studio is just fantastic and I really hope to get to be part of some of them!!

Although the places is so big it warms up within minuets!!! The heating can be on or off as you like which is a great bonus! A great supply of tea / coffee/ nibbles etc ! And a fabulous kitchen very easily accessible!

Laura has an AMAZING range of clothes at the studio as well as props! This just adds to the fabulousness of the place!!

Couldn’t ask for more from a studio! I loved shooting there!! I will be back and I will be recommending the place (well already have been)!

I had my first shoot in the fantastic Aura Studio today and WOW what can I say....utterly awesome.

I was met by the lovely Laura who instantly made me feel welcome.

The studio offers fabulous facilities for both model and photographer. Laura is on hand to assist with lighting etc as well as ensuring the model has everything she needs including helping me with a costume change.

I would highly recommend Aura Studio, such a fantastic studio with a huge variety of sets. Laura is the perfect hostess, giving help when needed but not imposing.

It was absolute pleasure to have been able to model at Aura Studio, I will definitely be returning again 😊

Thank you Laura for a wonderful time and for the endless supply of coffee.

Excellent shoot today at Aura Studio,with Laura on hand to help with lighting, constant tea supply and friendly chat. Shared the studio with MartinQ and AcesHighPhotography with the two lovely models JuneaModell and Liza D - was a great way to spend a Sunday - well worth a visit if you haven`t been here before. There`s always something new or different every time I visit...

Many thanks again Laura

I have attended several shoots and workshops since the Studio was opened by Laura and it is just Brilliant. She works so hard giving variety and choice in different catagories of portrait photography. She offers a fantastic space with various props which can be used to create any look you wish to portray in a shoot either at a workshop she has created or if you are brave hire the studio and bring the models and all the lighting is there and you do what you want. She is helpful and adds some fun to an event to put you at ease if you are new to this kind of thing.

If for a newbie you want to gain some knowledge with the help of Laura and the guests that are on hand to help then attend a workshop and give it a go. You will not be disappointed.

I was booked for the October Club Night - Aura is simply one of my favorite studios to shoot at! I LOVE working here because of the awesome model room, set variety and staff. Definitely shoot here if you have not - it has everything!

Alternative Halloween club night here proved how much Laura loves her work, fresh new red wall upstairs as a backdrop a stunning surprise. LauraJDraycon was joined by Miss Black Reign and Carmen V in an amazing latex evening so good I`m going to the daytime Midweek one in November so guess that just says all the reference you need?

Recently modelled for Aura Studios very first Midweek Model event early this month. It was vell organised by Laura, she is a fabulous host, tea maker, assistant ... well tbh she is so multi talented no wonder the studio is doing well! It is a fabulous space with loads of great areas to shoot. I felt super looked after, safe and look forward to being back in the studio again soon :)

Darryl J Dennis

Had the good fortune of assisting Laura on a Jack Vettriano-themed shoot over the weekend.

Laura has worked hard to put together a space that offers photographers endless possibilities with a versatile set of kit.

The hard work is certainly paying off because the studio's reputation couldn't be higher (and rightly so).

Can't wait to visit again.

I had long looked forward to shooting at this new studio and this workshop was something I had looked forward to attending - Jack Vettriano Workshop with Laura Draycon and Sugar and Spice. Laura who now runs the studio organised the event brilliantly and made me feel very welcome. The studio is super with a variety of different studios within the building including an infinity wall. There is everything one could want for a great shoot and Laura apart from being a superb model is very knowledgeable about lighting and is extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for workshops or hiring a studio for a model shoot. Thank you Laura and I look forward to coming again soon.

I had a excellent training workshop at the studio on Friday organised by Laura at the Aura Studio. Laura new I had certainly techniques I wanted to hone and made arrangements for the Simon Carter to come in and run a 1:1 session for me which was superb. Anything you ever need from a studio Laura will always go the extra mile to arrange for you.

I thoroughly recommend this studio to everyone who wants a special studio set up for any photography project
