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 :)

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

I went to Aura studio today for their Midweek model event. We had two superb models, Atalanta and Sugar&Spice. The studio owner, Laura, was very welcoming and the studio is magnificent. Everything was set up, and our session started almost straightaway with no fuss. We worked in two teams, 3 and 2 photographers, and we had a friendly time chatting and photographing. The event went very quickly, and I came away with some lovely images. Both of the models were superb, but the credit for the smooth running of the session was down to Laura. Thank you Laura, I had a great time, and can well recommend your studio. See you again soon!

First time for the Aura Midweek Day event and was not disappointed - everything set up in plenty of time to start promptly - two great models Atalanta and Sugar&Spice using the same 60`s theme sets differently for each tog team. Three in other team and two in mine made for a friendly, relaxed shoot. Excellent facilities - lots of tea and cake too. I`ll be back for next one, that`s for sure Laura

I wanted to try out the Aura Studio as it was nice and local and spotted the Mid-week model club - perfect. It was a great venue with great models, Atalanta and Sugar & Spice, who got into the 60's fashion "Mary Quant" theme perfectly. I particularly liked the Infintity cove and yellow backdrop were perfect for some high key classic vogue style shots. Can't wait to see what else Laura has up her sleeve. You've got to try it.

Another great shoot at Aura Studio this weekend, can’t recommend this place highly enough, more space than the albert hall and such a brilliant place to work in.

Excellent amenities, lighting equipment and backdrops/sets.

Book a shoot here you will NOT be disappointed.

100% on all aspects.

Laura has done an incredible job taking over the new Aura Studio, the space speaks for itself with it's impressive size, huge infinity curve, industrial style shutter backdrops, boudoir set, natural light emulated windows and beautiful props including a piano. I love working here. Laura is a lovely person and the perfect host, she's always warm and welcoming, makes a good brew too! The lighting equipment is the best, lots of different modifiers, overhead boom arm and large soft boxes. I cannot recommend this studio enough! Look forward to shooting here lots in the coming future.

Thank you, Tillie

I had an absolutely fantastic time modelling at one of the studio club nights this evening.

After a brief break from modelling it was lovely to be able to get in to the swing of things again on such a well organised event with a great selection of photographers.

Laura is a superb host and always on hand to help if needed.

Looking forward to being back again soon to make some more magic.

Highly recommended :)

I shot at Aura Studio last week for a few hours with the lovely Elesha Eden, and had a great first experience there. Studio is a great size, with plenty of zones to shoot different themes in (and one more was being added during our shoot), well equipped, well maintained, clean and tidy. Laura is great too, very helpful and friendly. Will be booking again soon! Thanks

I attended my first club night at Aura Studio last night.

All I can say is that is that’s it’s a fantastic studio with so many different areas to shoot in, oodles of room and excellently decorated and appointed.

The club night was completely sold out and even with in excess of 18 people there (models, photographers) there’s plenty of room and at no point did it feel cramped.

Really well organised evening, three great models, friendly photographers and a super host.

Many thanks for an enjoyable and very sociable evening.

My first visit to Aura Studios and hopefully not the last, it was the latest club night/group shoot and a very well organised and run evening it was. There were three, amazing and hard working models, and a click of photographers (not sure there is an official collective noun for photographers, but I am going with 'click') and the whole event ran smoothly without feeling rushed or hurried.

The studio itself is well appointed with a number of shooting areas and sets and appears to be refreshed regularly, keeping it current.

I have no hesitation in recommending Aura Studios to anyone looking for a professional and well well equipped photography studio, and their events to all photographers looking for a fun, interesting and good value photography night.

Another fab shoot at Aura!!

Laura is investing a huge amount of time, effort & cash into making this place a really special place to shoot.

More important, though, is Laura herself. She puts so much discrete and creative effort in to make every shoot a success - and doesn't bat an eyelid whenever I make an eccentric request.

Thanks again :)

Wow, what a transformation! I've always enjoyed the space available at Aura but Laura has taken this to the next level. There are great sets (with more on the way) but it's clean, tidy, well organised and more comfortable for model and photographer to work in. Laura is really helpful without being at all intrusive, which made for a very relaxed shoot.

I will definitely be going back to make more use of this great studio.

Thank you Laura.

Visited the studio on a studio day with Elesha Eden;great place to shoot as I used to know it as Lovephoto Studio.There have been a few changes but it's still a friendly welcoming place to shoot.

Laura was very helpful with lighting set ups and making sure it was all running smoothly.

It's a great place to shoot in.Totally recommended.
