Had a great first visit to Branded. I was very impressed with what options there were for shooting. Found a gorgeous natural light scene there.

Host was welcoming, helpful and made a great cuppa tea too. Good comms.

We shot fashion, portrait and boudoir in the 3 hrs we had here.

Recommended. Will be returning again. Worth exploring video options too here.

Madame Cerise

My 4th shoot here now (although I pop in occasionally too now!) and I still totally love having shoots there! I know that myself and the photographer/s will be looked after and that nothing is too much trouble. I had another group shoot, and this time Charlotte was offering editing assistance as part of the evening which made the whole evening run smoothly and meant I didn't have photographers waiting around for their turn to shoot, as this time each photographer had timed shooting. I absolutely love the new vintage mannequin too and I'm super happy I got to be the first to shoot with it! :)

My wife and I did a shoot at the studio yesterday. The potential this studio offers is enormous with a variety of spaces providing opportunities not found at other studios. Charlotte was very welcoming and ensured that we had everything we required, including refreshments. The facilities for models were excellent. All in all, the studio provided everything we required to ensure that we had a very successful shoot. I definitely recommend the studio and intend to use it again

I was so excited to discover this little gem of a studio. Not only is it local to me but it has soo much potential! Charlotte the owner is so welcoming and friendly, she is really keen to expand ideas and I love what she has done so far.

The studio Is warm, well equipped..I love the balcony and cinema rooms.

All in all this is an awesome studio and I cant wait to see what exciting things they have planned for the future.

Highly recommended!

God, I love this studio!! In the short space of time since I last visited, the studio has developed even further and I love how dynamic it is! Being one of two local studios to me, I'm really impressed with the space- there is so much beautiful natural light flooding in too that you could spend your whole time just shooting in the front room! It overlooks a busy high street and I desperately want to shoot nude against the dramatic staircase- guess I'll have to wait until there is some fabric up to protect people from my nudity first ;) !

Branded even has it's own little cinema (?!) And really does have so much potential! Very welcoming team, with the lovely Amber fronting it this time (who supplied me with many cups of tea I kept forgetting about).

Do I recommend?

100000% yes and will to anybody wanting advice about studios too! :)

Thanks for having me guys!

I had the opportunity to have my first shoot today at this marvelous new studio. it has only been open a few months but the staff are so helpful and go to great lengths to make you welcome. There is a good selection of lights and other accessories and they are prepared to move things around to allow you to get the extra photo!

The owners are happy to listen to ideas from both models and photographers to improve the studio. Talking to the staff there are already improvements on the way. It will be interesting to see how this studio develops, and I certainly recommend it. I will certainly be back for anther shoot!

I recently attended a group shoot at Branded studio and I must say I was very impressed with the whole set up. The studio has only been in open for a short time but it is already well equipped and has numerose shooting spaces. Charlotte the studio owner was very warm and welcomming and makes a mean brew and was extreamly helpful throughout the shoot. I for one will definatly be shooting there again in the future

Highly recommended

I had an opportunity to work at Branded Studios, and tho a new studio it is well equipped and with an owner who is more than happy to take on ideas from photographers on how to improve.

Highly recommend the studio.

Madame Cerise

The third visit to branded studios so it's safe to say I recommend it and the lovely staff! I had organised a group shoot at Branded and although the idea was my own, Charlotte had welcomed it with enthusiasm and despite having her own events at the studio to promote, my grinch event was still promoted well on social media pages. Friendly and helpful yet again, myself and all of the photographers were well looked after. The studio is growing with improvements all the time even in the 4 weeks of being open, and recommendations are always being asked for, and more importantly are acted upon promptly. The staff here are passionate about every single person having a pleasant experience and that is why I will bring my tribe here again and again. Thank you again for helping everything run smoothly!

My First shoot at the excellent Branded studios was a group shoot organised by Madame Cerise.. I was greeted by the Receptionist and the owner Charlotte. We were shown around the facility and it has some great areas for use.

Including a large white room upstairs with large windows so you can use natural light. A mezzanine area with lots of different style of wall coverings you can use as backdrops. There is also a Cinema, which I was very impressed with and a green screen room.

Although newly opened and set up for video, film, and commercial work, with constant lights rather than flash heads. The studio is a great creative space for stills photographers to use. Probably the best facility in the area, and with the planned additions can only become better.

The staff are present, friendly, and helpful. They also made decent Coffee!

I shall certainly be using it again in the future.

Loved shooting at this brand new studio- so much potential!! I get very inspired when I go somewhere new and this studio certainly inspired me- I'm already planning my next shoot ideas there! Lovely friend staff, very reasonable pricing and sooo much space too! Can't wait to come back! I loved this studio so much, I have now included it as one of my local studio recommendations on my port notes :)

Thanks for having me guys!

Had a fantastic first shoot at Branded Studios with Madame Cerise and Twinkle Nose for a Christmas themed shoot :-) Its a fabulous studio with several spaces to shoot, some amazing architectural features and a good choice of lights to play with :-) on top of that the staff are super friendly and very helpful :-) felt very well looked after and got some amazing images there :-) Totally recommended and hope to shoot there again soon :-)

Madame Cerise

I have now shot at this amazing studio twice now, the first time being in the same week that they opened! This is my local studio so for convenience I was obviously very curious and excited to shoot here. The mezzanine is full of character with the gorgeous black glossy banisters and pillars. The cinema room is great for some neon lighting shots, the natural light upstairs is fantastic, and if you need lots of space then this is the place! Not only is the studio itself great, but the staff are super friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Bags of potential and highly recommended. I've been told by Frankinsella that the lights are good too so that's worth a mention :)
