I shot at AURA today with Craig2112.

This studio has endless possibilities and wonderful natural light. It has more props you can shake a stick at. I took advance of a lot of them.

Emily was always on hand to help with lighting and moving things around. Plus she makes a fabulous cuppa.

The studio is currently having a few renovations to include a mezzanine floor which will look superb when completed. I really hope to go back when that’s completed.

Thank you for today much appreciated

100% recommended.

This was my second time visiting AURA as a part of a model tour and as always it was a delight to be there. I am made to feel so welcome as is everyone who walks through the door. Laura and Jason can't do enough to help and they are so kind. The space is lovely and I really like the new changing area. Would highly recommend and hope to be back again soon! :)

My first visit to Aura for a portfolio builder group shoot with Chris Conway. I was made to feel welcome and fully enjoyed the evening. The space is large and airy with loads of equipment and lots of items that could be used to create sets. Thanks to Laura for providing such a great environment. Highly recommended.

My second visit since the change of ownership. I was hosted by Jason today who looked after me and my model very well and helped throughout the booking with tea, setting and moving lights. My 4 hours there flew by and I had an enjoyable and creative time there using various features of the space. The natural light there and the hi speed flash units were used to great effect on the day. Lovely helpful people, lovely studio.

This was my first visit to the studio since a change of ownership and it was lovely to see what Laura had done with the space and to hear what she has planned next. The opportunity for variety is astonishing at Aura and I hear there will only be more to come!

Laura was lovely, accommodating, helpful; and happy to answer any queries from my end

Highly recommended :)

My first visit to the new Aura studio to work there since the change of ownership. Laura was there to greet me with a smile and the offer of as much help as I needed in trying out some of the special shapes there for the cove. The studio is now getting her character and experience introduced and I was impressed with the cleanliness of props and the work space. The cove is extensive and allows for a great variety of work with its impressive height and the lighting equipment is modern and extensive. The natural light is simply beautiful and offers many opportunities for lighting a model and producing stunning images. Really delighted with my first visit to the new Aura and thoroughly recommend it to other creatives. Thank you Laura for all your help and conversations during my visit 😊

Awesomeness to an extreme!

So glad this amazing space has successfully re-invented itself under new, improved and proper management.

Last Saturday I had a shoot with the gorgeous Sinopa Rin and it went swimmingly to say the least. Nothing was too much trouble as Laura & Jason made me feel very welcome and were so very accommodating.

The shooting space is absolutely beautiful and I got some stunning photos.

A MAHOOSIVE recommendation from me!

Thanks for everything guys - look forward to another visit very soon.

All the best

Cheers

I absolutely love this studio. There is so much you can do here. AURA has a lot of space so there are so many angles you can get, corners you can shoot in, different backdrops and props you can use. One of my (and I'm sure many other's) favourite parts of the studio is the big windows. The natural light is stunning, I love shooting here. I was booked by photographer Ash, we had a really great shoot. We worked from a moodbaord and had a lot of fun using the space. The pictures were great and we got through so many sets.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! :D

Thank you Laura for having us, I look forward to coming back again soon

I was honoured to be asked by Laura to model for AURA's 'Beauty and the Boat' studio day with Cariad. It was an absolutely gorgeous set up. The cutest boat presented beneath the huge bay window, the studio was filled with hundreds of flowers, the natural light was stunning, it was magical to walk into. I felt so lucky to get to shoot there. Laura had hung and prepared several dress options to choose from, I love shooting artistic nude but I have to say it was nice to feel like a princess for the afternoon :D

Laura had clearly put a lot of thought into this shoot and put in so much work into getting everything set up (especially getting the boat up and down those stairs and prepping all those flowers!)

I felt very looked after by Laura and her partner, thank you both so much for everything.

I got to meet so many lovely creative people on the day which was awesome! The photos from everyone were gorgeous and I look forward to seeing the posts from this brilliant day :D

I would highly recommend AURA studio and booking onto any studio days Laura runs

Thank you so much for having me,

This weekend was my first (and hopefully not last) modelling on one of Aura Photographic's themed events. And what an event it was. I can only say, thank you all for having me. The time and effort that had clearly gone into this was fantastic and the images I have seen from it are testament to that. I certainly wouldn't relish the idea of getting an entire boat into a second story studio at the best of times, but that is exactly what the team had done and to great effect. Never mind getting it in there, Aura is one of a handful of studios in the UK that could actually accommodate such a massive prop and have the lighting and useable space to get the most from it, so if thats your thing then you know where to go...

Having only visited once since opening the new studio I was excited to see what they had achieved in their new place... and Wow!! I was not disappointed. What a wonderful space with equally wonderful hosts. This place just keeps getting better and better.

Aura photographic is an exceptional studio filled with high level equipment, glorious features and natural light in abundance and knowledgable owners that are all too happy to lend a hand.

As a model or photographer, if you are yet to visit then what are you waiting for?

I shot a fine art flower themed event at Aura Photographic Studios and the space is absolutely massive. There are giant windows which I had to climb halfway up a step ladder to photograph with the model standing on the window ledge and she still looked small in the picture. Lots of props and different sets to suit all photographers. Emily and Jason were very helpful with getting the lights and triggers all setup. Highly recommended studio for models and photographers, definitely going back.

This was the first time I have been to AuraPhotographic under new management. I was very impressed how Emily has changed the studio which incorporates many sets in a combined space. Emily was very helpful in assisting with the lighting and the props. I had a shoot there with BethKate and hope to arrange another shoot soon. Highly recommended.

I had a studio day at AURAphotographic last weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. The studio is an amazing place to shoot in with so much space and so many wonderful props to use. Laura and Jason made me feel so welcome and were brilliant hosts (even though Jason tried to posion me with a milky green tea hahaha!) Highly recommended by me!

Had the pleasure of shooting at Aura Photographic 4 or 5 times and each time has been a pleasure. There always welcoming, friendly, well equipped, helpful, great communication and a nice cuppa.

The building it self is in a great setting, one of conplex of old canal warehouses. Good changing facilities for the models, infinity curve with well equipped lighting and a good selection of light diffusers. There always on hand to help set and alter the lighting. 2 winchs for aerial work, 1 at each end of the studio.

The studio is in a large open area with lots of natural light with large traditional windows. Lots of props and a new area on a mezzanine floor area.

I would highly recommend this studio and look forward to shooting there again.

AURA photographic LTD is an incredibly versatile space with giant windows for natural light work, as well as a space for studio based shots and a plethora of lighting equipment to support these.

You’re spoiled for choice regarding props and things to add to your shot, there is something for everyone.

Emily and Jason were wonderful and extremely patient and friendly during my shoot with Wayne. Despite having loads of work they happily came to attend to us when we needed, making sure we were happy and comfortable.

I would highly recommend this studio for any photographic needs you may have as provided by Emily

Great to be back in the studio today and great to come to Aura for the first time. The transition is going well and they have amazing sounding plans…there’s loads of very top end props to take your sets to the next level. Jason and Emily were awesome, so friendly and welcoming and on hand to help with any lighting or moving of props etc. Came away with some epic shots and some great ideas for future shoots…loved it!!!

Today was my first day shooting at AURA and... wow!

The space is amazing and Laura and Jason were so incredibly helpful throughout the day but also knew when to give space. The perfect hosts. I can't wait for the next 2 days in this incredible studio.

Would highly recommend this studio for it's high quality equipment, beautiful set pieces and friendly staff. Wonderful place!

My third shoot at Aura with the delightful aerialist UpsidedownRose. Laura was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule at short notice and again on the day when Rose missed her train from Bristol and had to catch the next. Nice to see the developments in the studio with many more props and furniture being introduced, that said the reconfiguation work is ongoing though it did not inconvenience us much: there are so many alternatives to explore. Rose is in her element there and I know of nowhere else where the aerial silks can be used to their fullest. I highly recommend the studio and we will be back later in the year for session 4.

Brian Garrard

Such a great space well equipped so many props. Even found 2 different suitable models for my shoot over weekend. Due to covid didn't have the normal help but that just a blip for this weekend but got pointed in right direction and was trusted on my own in studio with just model. I also attend a group shoot previous evening was really well run so many great shoot already planning next visit hopeful covid free and the renovations finished.

Wow had the honour to shoot on the newly moved infinity curve at Aura, and what a great experience it was and such an improvement on the old curve allowing to shoot from more angles, along with future work to add some different backdrops, Thanks again Andy
