Had my first shoot at Barlow studios this morning at a group shoot. Warm welcome from Kate, with brews on hand, and explanation of trigger settings. An enjoyable shoot was had by all.

I first worked at Barlow studio last year, weirdly as I’ve been around so long and it’s only down the road!! Haha. I had spoken to George a few times and we finally got around to organising a group shoot, which was a lot of fun and the guys that attended were very nice and very respectful. The sets are great, George has made great use of all his space. I have a studio day next week which I’m looking forward to, so I shall see you soon! Highly recommended by me. Jenny James.

I was thrilled to be invited back for a second studio day at the studio. George is without doubt more professional than most studios, handling any issues and keeping his models safe and well looked after. The studio is mind blowing. The things George can craft out of wood is phenomenal! I already can’t wait to come back and work here again.

Thank you so much 😊

Had my first shoot at Barlow Studio and it was a very pleasant surprise to find! Some lovely sets in there and the images i've seen have turned out lovely.

George made sure I was happy and comfortable during my time there offering drinks and heaters to make sure I was warm on a very cold day!

I would definitely recommend :)

This was my second shoot at Barlow but I will certainly be returning for another. The booking process was very straightforward and my shoot was easy to arrange.

The studio is well equipped, with three studio spaces each with multiple sets. I have made use of all, including the infinity cove and the wet area and bubble machine.

George is very helpful and does all he can to make the whole process stress free. Very happy to recommend.

I recently had a shoot at Barlow studio, for both a one-to-one shoot and a group evening.

Although it was a fair distance for me, the studio was stunningly set up, with a wonderful range of backdrops and beautiful sets.

If I'm back in the Barlow area again, I would love to revisit this studio. Highly recommended to locals and/or anyone touring the area.

Many thanks!

This was my second shoot at barlow studios after 3 or 4 years. The studio is a wonderful little space that's got a range of different sets and props to use. It has such a charming and homely feel to it and George is lovely too. Was offered drinks throughout and the 3 and a half hours absolutely flew by. Thank you for inviting me over for the group shoot, had a lovely evening and hopefully I see you guys again soon.

It's either my sixth or seventh time to Barlow Studios. George has some new seats and props on which look great!! I've not been for a good few years now, it's cool to see he's added a few bits and pieces.

Great, wide open spaces and detailed areas. Would recommend 😁

This was my first visit to the studio and its definitely a hidden gem.

Comms beforehand was great to organise times and costs etc and I was able to extend my shoot times in the run up to the day.

The studio is a good size with 3 main rooms and a dressing room and toilet. Plenty of props are available and some areas are set up. Lights and modifiers aplenty.

Had a great time and will certainly use the studio again in the future.

What a beautiful studio, so unique and homely. The studio owner George is one of the most professional yet friendly photographers and studio owners that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

Thanks so much for inviting to do a studio day, it’s one to remember 😄

Highly recommended by me.

It had been several years since I visited George at Barlow and almost as long since my last studio shoot so I was thankful that George was as helpful and patient as I remembered.

My model (Baby G) and I arrived a little early but we were greeted by George with a warm handshake and a hot drink before a tour of the different sets. Some of it I remembered, some sets were new but I think we made maximum use of everything available in our four hour shoot. There are many different sets within the studio which offer a wide variety of shooting styles and there are many props available to fire the imagination.

I heartily recommend George and his studio to all photographers and models and I'm grateful for his help on the day.

Very nice studio. I had contacted George about shooting at the studio after my original shoot plans had to change due a change in travel arrangements.

I was immediately impressed with the 3 different shoot rooms available at Barlow's and there was enough shoot areas, lighting and props to get all the images that myself and the models could conjure up on the day.

I particularly liked the white platform space and the original brick wall to shoot against and there were favourable rumblings from all 3 of my models throughout our 3+ hour excursion to Chesterfield.

George was always available for advice when needed. A most definite recommendation from me.

Really enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at Barlow Studios, friendly relaxed environment, gorgeous location and tons of sets and props to play around with, will definitely be back up that way in the future!

Great studio with various sets and so many props and furniture. So many different lights and plenty of sockets so getting the lighting we wanted was effortless.

The studio was heated and the dressing room was well lit.

I had a great experience, thank you! Definitely recommended.

Had an amazing group shoot at Barlow studios last night! I was very grateful to George who had broken his toe but still went ahead with the shoot and made me feel very welcome. Absolutely loved all the different sets! Can’t wait to come again and try the rest out :) Would recommend this studio to all models and photographers 100% x
