Wow!

Made the trek up from Portsmouth specifically to shoot a “northern” model who’d been on my “want to shoot with” list for a long time and was just blown away! Laura’s studio space is huge, and just full of fascinating props - I think it might take an entire weekend and a handful of models to do justice to this venue. And then only maybe.

Laura and partner were super generous & kind with additional assistance during shooting, no silly question or arcane request for a particular kind of prop was too much. And all in such a friendly atmosphere. Coffee and biscuits aplenty!

100% recommended - I’ll definitely be back!

Despite living fairly locally, my first shoot at Emily and Jason's studio was extremely enjoyable. They had arranged a Winter themed event with Elle and Darcie modelling gowns in several settings. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were everything that we needed to achieve a great shoot. I will definitely be back.

It was my first shoot at Aura Studio with another model and 8 togs and I loved it!

Both Emily and Jase were amazing, very friendly and easy-going and the studio was just perfect! Good size with everything you need and stylish settings. A really lovely place to shoot with delightful hosts!

Will definitely go back, it was a pleasure to meet all these nice people :-)

My first club night at Auraphotographic on Friday and it was a lovely evening. Emily and Jase were organised, friendly and nothing was too much effort.

They had a variety of sets and were very knowledgeable with lighting.

I would highly recommend it and would love to go back.

Being my first time in a studio for a while, and my first time at AURA, I was a little apprehensive but Emily was superb. She made me a cuppa, gave me a tour and was there throughout to offer assistance and support. She knows her stuff too, so if you shoot there, just ask, and she'll put you straight.

The shear number of lights and modifiers was incredible, as were the props, but the most impressive thing about this studio is its size. Open spaces, great natural light, high ceilings, and a huge infinity cove.

I would highly recommend AURA, to all shades of the profession, whether starting out or seasoned pro. I'll definitely be a regular there now I've experienced it.

Thanks Emily :)

Had my first shoot at Aura on Friday, and was just gobsmacked at how large and how very well equipped this place is. Emily has put together more lighting and modifiers than you could work your way through in a year of shoots, and some very distinctive props I've not seen anywhere else. I also used the large industrial windows for some shots, which is a feature unique to this period warehouse. I look forward to returning to this studio many times.

Had my first shoot at Auraphotographic studios recently and I wanted to leave a glowing reveiw as I had a lovely time and I found that Jason and Emily were extremely accomodating and friendly and made sure that I was well looked after and comfortable during my shoot. There are great facilities for the model.. changing room, props etc. I was even able to blast my own music through the sound system, The studio was clean and well equipped with great variety of sets and props. I would be very happy to shoot here any time x amber x

I modelled at a studio club event at Aura studios and it was a great evening. The studio is vast with lots of shooting areas with great sets. Both Emily and Jason are professional and friendly and made sure that we were well looked after and we had breaks where appropriate with the event being well managed.

Thank you for having me at the event and I look forward to returning to Aura.

Highly recommend for photographers and models alike.

Thanks

Shot at Aura multiple times over the years and I dont think i've actually left a reference omg!!

But here we go - better late than never or updated haha!

Aura is so spacious and bright its a bloody dream to shoot in, esp on the cove for dance/shapes/shadows and then the complete opposite with the massive windows or sets! All round grand place to create magic!

Laura is such a lovely human inside and out, always a helping hand and works her asssss off 24/7!

Will definitely be back!

I've shot here so many times now and it just feels like home.

What I like the most is not the warm welcome you receive when you arrive, not the continuous flow of tea or coffee, not the abundance of props at your disposal, not the huge amount of lighting and modifiers and not even the infinite shooting possibilities in the huge space.

No, what I like the most is that the hosts will listen to how you want to shoot and either be by your side with help and advice and setting up lights or leave you to get on with your own thing but always being just a shout away if needed.

I'm back here again very soon and I can't wait!

Another successful studio day at Aura!

I was lucky enough to have a second studio day at Aura and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I’ve used this studio on many occasions including the 2 studio days that I’ve done. I absolutely love this studio and as long as they’re happy to keep having me, it’s one I will continue to use for many shoots to come. Emily and Jase are an absolute joy and always nearby should you need them. They’re both extremely professional and so friendly. This is definitely a safe space for both photographers and models with incredible sets to use not to mention the huge infinity cove available as well as a wide collection of lighting to use and if you are in need of any advice regarding lighting, Jase is always nearby to share any of his expert knowledge.

I highly recommend this space for any model and photographer of all levels of experience. Thank you so much for hosting me and I can’t wait to see you both again,

Jasmine

Visited Aura Studio today for the first time as a business owner and not as a model. Myself and my partner Andy had a metric ton of product photography to complete and we chose Aura as the place to do it because from experience I know how accommodating the owners are. Jason was on hand to help with lighting as Andy is restricted in what he can and can't do/lift and nothing was too much trouble. We have worked for a long time on creating a specific look for our brand so Jason took the time to understand how Andy wanted the lighting and together they got it spot on. Emily was also on hand to help with her invaluable creative input as I lost my head panicking about how to achieve certain shots (thank GOD for her calmness). They both went out of their way to help us as we were on a deadline and I was impressed to see they treated me as a commercial customer instead of a model, even though it mashed my head a little haha.

As a new business owner, it's imperative to work with people who fan your flames, not dowse your fire and Aura already have me excited to visit them again with our new venture.

Another day, another awesome time at Aura….4 hours with @xkes just flew by, but had a warm, friendly greeting and chat with Emily and then some expert assistance on a couple of lighting bits and some on hand manual labour from Jason. Otherwise, just trusted to get on and enjoy the huge variety on offer, which I certainly did…fab time…thanks again Emily and Jason. See you again soon

Had a fantastic studio day at Aura on Sunday!

Emily is such a wonderful, professional, kind and helpful host. Is is a legend!🙏🏻

Can’t wait to return for a second visit!

Had my first shoot at AURAphotographic as part of Darcie Louise's Studio Day. The studio is huge and the natural light there is incredible! The location is fantastic and easy to get to. They sheer amount of props and sets there is crazy! Emily was super helpful throughout and helped set up a flash for when I needed it.

I would highly recommend AURAphotographic and I will definitely be back!

I’ve had two shoots at Aura in the past month or so. The first was a shoot I arranged with Miss Honey Malone, and then I was there for one of Carla Monaco & Artemis Fauna’s model days.

The studio is a joy to shoot at, offering both some fantastic natural light and some great set options, including the infinity curve. I’ve used the studio a fair few times now, and it’s always interesting to see what new props Emily has acquired or tweaks have been made to the space between my visits. Both Emily and Jason are welcoming and such a great help too.

I’ve already got my next shoots at the studio booked. Highly recommended!

I held a fashion portfolio builder at Aura this August and it was a great success.

A lovely studio, helpful folk on hand for all my lighting and prop gathering needs. I couldn’t recommend high enough.

Thank you for helping my event be a success :)

Looking forward to visiting again.

Eva Seraph

A great space, full of endless possibilities.

Emily is a fantastic host and superb Bodypainter. It was a pleasure to model for her recent fashion and body paint event. I had a brilliant time at the studio.

Highly recommended.

Had a great shoot at Aura Studios this week! The studio space is very big with lots of props and outfits. Emily Jason and Max were lovely and were extremely helpful the whole time. We got some really interested shots and this studio, looking forward to coming back!

Had a studio day at Aura Photographic recently.

Lovely studio, bright and airy, lots of natural light and a great space for whatever you want to achieve! Thank you Emily for inviting me and to Jason who was very accommodating and helpful during the day!

Recommended, I will be back :)
