This is the first time I have used this well known space, now Aura Photographic. Laura and Jason were excellent hosts, with Jason being very helpful and patient with my requests for setting up lights and moving large props, and Laura ensuring that we had everything we needed.

As anybody who has used the space know it's one of the best studios around, with features that you can't find elsewhere, so I would highly recommend it and will definitely return.

Had another successful shoot at this fantastic studio (and my first under the new Management).

Emily's hospitality was warm and welcoming, providing assistance at every step to ensure we had everything we needed. I cannot recommend working at this excellent facility enough and truly look forward to my next visit.

Thank you Emily, to you and your Team.

What a fantastic shoot I had here yesterday with the wonderful Ayla.

Laura and Jason were so welcoming, friendly and also happy to assist when required.

The studio itself offers beautiful natural light alongside all the studio equipment and props you'll ever need. All this is also offered at a very reasonable price.

Overall a photographer's paradise that is well worth the 200 mile round trip. I can't wait to go again.

Sometimes the destination is more than worth the journey. Aura is one of those destinations. An exceptional shooting facility with so many opportunities. Large windows give abundant natural light, white and black coves give plenty of options for studio set ups. A wide range of lights, modifiers and props for every eventuality.

Pre-shoot communications were both quick and informative, the online booking process was smooth and straightforward. On the day, assistance was available when required but we had the space and freedom to shoot in our own way.

This is an absolute gem of a studio. A few hours is barely enough time to scratch the surface of the possibilities on offer.

I have been modelling across the globe for ten ears and I can honestly say that Laura (the studio owner) is one of the most welcoming and nicest people you can meet in the industry.

I cannot recommend her studio enough! Truly superb inside and out. The space is very versatile to work in.

An excellent space and I always felt so fully looked after from the moment I arrived to leaving.

I already look forward to my next visit in February for our photography event!

Very very very highly recommended by me to all models and photographers!

My kindest regards

Another great shoot at the studio, this time using the Armoury studio for 4 hours with Beth Kate, and then in the afternoon i had organised a 2 hour sampler for 3 colleagues who had never been to a studio before. Jason did a session for them on the white and black curves with Beth as the model and the guy and girls were blown away with this and now have their appetites wetted for some more studio work.

Again thanks for organising Emily

This was my first visit to the rebranded Aura Photographic Studios having previously been there under the former management. The event was a Laser Workshop, with two models and seven photographers in attendance, under the leadership of Laura aka Emily and her partner Jason.

The level of care that went into this workshop was much appreciated.

Group shoots alongside strangers can always be a bit weird, to say the least, but the Aura staff made every effort to make everyone feel comfortable and a part of something bigger, and this made all the difference. I was placed in a group with two other photographers, and as a group we made every effort to make sure that everyone got something unique from the shoot. Nothing was too much trouble, from moving lights to setting lasers, all of our concepts were met with maximum effort!

Fully recommended, and I can't wait for my next shoot there!

A lovely second shoot back at AURAPhotographic after my first on the Thomas Holm Workshop a few weekends ago. This time I was back in the Apex, relived to find that all the old props and sets were still there. Jason was on hand to help me set up, and provide a most welcome cup of coffee. It was also lovely to catch up with Emily later. Its a big relief to know that this fantastic studio is still there, and available for us all to use. I wish you both every success for the year ahead and the future. Thank-you for a lovely morning.

I have visited AURA Photographic Studio twice now. The first time for one of the excellent Thomas Holm workshops and then a week or so later for a two hour shot with the equally excellent Gemma Marie.

The fist thing I'd say about AURA Photographic is that it's big! There are two ginormous studio rooms to shoot in, great back-drops, plenty of lighting and a growing collection of props. Emily is an excellent host and doing a great job, having recently acquired the studio.

Definitely worth a visit.

Emily messaged me a few weeks ago asking if I’d be interested in being one of the models for the erotic duo day on a workshop by Thomas Holm !

Pre communications where first class , fast and informative!

Emily is a brilliant host and her studio is STUNNING!!!

AURA it’s the dream playground to every photographer !

Full of natural , amazing posing props, high end lighting equipment and it’s so spacious !!!

I’ll be there again for another job next week and I can’t wait :)

Book AURA for your photo projects now :D

Always wanted to shoot at this studio but was nearly a 3-hour drive to the studio BUT on a workshop for Thomas Holm I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.

Fabulous spaces to work and Emilly could not have been more welcoming, nicer and more helpful.

Despite the 6 hours round trip, I will be back. Many thanks

Thomas Holm

I've just concluded a large group shoot and three days of workshop at Aura, and I can highly recommend the venue. Emily has only recently taken over the place, including all the inventory from the previous owner, and that is the only qualms I have; there are almost too many posing boxes, furniture, beds, and props in general, which makes choosing what to use hard.

Hehe, I can't really hold that against them though, can I?

Emily and Jason (and Wolf) were very helpful in getting all the techniques to work, keeping me well hydrated with coffee and tea and catering, and making sure I could concentrate on teaching while they handled most of the practicalities.

Thanks so much for the good energy, amazing facilities, and good props, I'm looking forward to the next round!

All the best!

Yesterday was my first time meeting Laura as myself and Edson Caballero were running a partner acrobatics / acroyoga event at her studio.

The studio is incredible, I'm so so glad she has occupied the space and is putting in endless work to make it her own.

My event had a lot of specific requirements in terms of space, height, lighting and so on, and I could not have chosen a better place to host it! Laura was beyond incredible from our first interaction online to the end of an exhausting day.

Even being November, the studio was well heated, everything I needed was accessible, she helped out no end with making sure I had tea, lighting sorted, triggers working and I can't even begin to explain the work she put in herself to make my event run for the few participants who joined remotely due to COVID. Without Laura, I'd have been a headless chicken trying stressed to the max to bring it all together, but with her there my part (almost) felt effortless despite the 8 hours of acrobatics!

Laura is so friendly, welcoming and made me feel incredibly safe and well looked after during my time at AURA.

I want to scream from the rooftops just how incredible she is and what an amazing studio she has!

Laura's passion for photography shines through and as I was leaving late into the evening, exhausted and happy, there she was painting sets and putting in yet more work on the studio!

I love the space so much that even with a 2 hour drive each way i'm back again later this week for another exciting opportunity and will continue to recommend her studio and use it as frequently as possible!

It was a wonderful day at the Studio on a group shoot in the morning and one to one in the afternoon. Some photographers had not been able to come in person due to covid and Laura was incredibly helpful with doing a remote shoot for them so they still got to take part in a very unusual shoot. It looks like the studio will be hosting more fun events but is also a terrific space to use with your own model. We will be back!

Booked to attend Scarlot’s AcroYoga Workshop at AuraPhotographic, with Scarlot and Edson Caballero

I had booked for the morning workshop and a 1 to 1 session in the afternoon

THEN THE SPECTURE THAT IS COVID STRUCK AND I HAD A POSITIVE TEST ☹ on the Wednesday before the event

Let Scarlot know and was disappointed not to be able to attend

Then after various exchanges of messages, both Scarlot and Laura (OWNER OF AURAPhotographic) suggested that I could attend remotely for both the workshop and the 1 to 1

Zoom connection in and be part of the fun remotely

This was organised superbly by Laura and I was able to not only be part of the event but interact with Scarlot and Edson and work with Laura as the mobile camera operator

Due to the short duration the positions could be held, we agreed not to tether the shooting but work together for the shoots

Scarlot and Edson were totally amazing in the posing and shapes created exceeding all expectations

Laura was fantastic in providing the remote link and enabling me to be at the event

Massive Thank You to all for delivering a Fantastic Day

Gary :-)

I attended Scarlot's acro-yogo workshop here recently and was impressed not only by the studio space but also by the level of support Laura provided.

The studio is easy to find and there is plenty of parking space. Once inside, you'll find huge windows providing plenty of opportunity to work with natural light in addition to the studio lighting you'd expect. And then there's the giant infinity curve - there's no change of dancers leaping above the top of the background here! If you're shooting dance, I can't think of another studio space to match.

I'll definitely be returning and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending AURAphotographic to others.

Had another great shoot at the studio and as usual Laura helped out on some of the themes I had developed in my mind, and even helped out holding the wind machine at the right angle, Thanks again Laura

Had another great shoot at the studio in the Apex room with the infinity curve. As usual Laura was on hand to help across the half day and provide tea and drinks as required. The studio is such an amazing place to work from with endless possibilities and props. Back there again next week - highly recommended !!

This was my first ever time working at Laura's amazing studio and I loved every moment! I was well looked after all day during the 'shot in the dark' bodypainting event. The studio itself has so many possibilites as the space is massive and Laura has an extensive array of props, boxes to pose with/on etc. Cannot wait to work there again in the future!
