I had the great pleasure of working with Mark for the first time on a shoot with the lovely Lynzi. Pre shoot comms were excellent - Mark was very clear in what was required and this was followed through on the day of the shoot with clear direction and great organisation. The studio set up was excellent and we worked with a professional, but unhurried pace. Great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Mark to any model who has the opportunity to work with him and I very much look forward to working with him again.

The Factory

Mark and his team from Chilmington were guests at The Factory last week and a delight to host they were.

I have only positives to report from comms' to execution, totally respectful to myself and the studio.

Thank you.

I had done an intro to studio lighting day here about 7 months ago, but today i brought the model and was more in control, that is of course until everything would go wrong when Mark was there to give his help and advice. that was always done helpfully and with tact. Cant recommend the place and the management enough

I went on one of Chilmington studios 1-2-1 intro to studio lighting days yesterday, it was very good. The studio is very well equipped, Mark knows his subject inside out and the resident model, Linzi, worked hard to help keep changing things up whilst being very patient as everything was explained. I asked to start with the absolute basics and work up, in the end I think we went thro at least 11 different set ups! Thank you both Mark and Linzi for a great day.

I spent some time with Mark and Lynzi at the studio this afternoon, to get an idea of what the studio has to offer. The facilities are great, with everything you could possibly want to be able to shoot any genre. Lighting, green screen set/studio changes, changing facilities and visitor facilities are all first class. I was fortunate to take some photos of the lovely Lynzi with two seperate lighting set ups. I'll definitely be back to use the studio.

Absolutely stunning studio, lovely owners and I can't praise Mark and Lindsey enough. This was my first time in the studio and I felt very welcomed. Excellent pre communication and organisation hence everything went so smoothly. The studio is beautiful, has a lovely setting and excellent facilities. The shooting went great, we tried a new lights with a few outfits and I am looking forward to seeing the images. The atmosphere was superb, relaxed, had my coffee and Lindley was very kind to give me a lift from the station and back. I had a fantastic time and I hope we work again in the near future. Highly recommended and very best wishes, Elena

A lovely studio and lovely people.Very welcoming. I was helping Mark try out some new lights. The studio is spacious, well equipped and the changing room was spotless which was so refreshing after some of the places I have been. A very enjoyable shoot and from a models point of view highly recommended. I certainly hope to be able to work there again.

GH Makeup

I had a brilliant shoot with Mark and his lovely wife. Firstly, the studio is warm, neat and the makeup room is wonderfully set out and lit. Mark was great in pre-comms setting everything out clearly and quickly.

The shoot was delightful, model was gorgeous and we had a giggle as well as creating some beautiful images. Would very much recommend Chilmington Studios!

I highly recommend booking Chilmington Studios!! I had such a great experience here with such LOVELY people!! The communication was brilliant so when I got the studio as a makeup artist I was instantly at ease! The studio makes you feel at home straight away! It's comforting, relaxed, warm and friendly! The makeup area is just right! I could set up everything within minutes! The conversation was easy, the equipment is fabulous and I'm happy I got the opportunity to work with Chilmington Studios. Lynzi looked absolutely amazing as our model posing fluidly and confidently throughout the shoot and I could see what Mark was shooting through his lense on the TV screen which helped so much! I'm really excited to see the results and thank you both for having me as your makeup artist. It was an absolute pleasure!!

I attended a photo shoot yesterday at Chilmington Studios. Chilmington studios is a lovely local studios near Great Chart Ashford which I would highly recommend if anyone in Kent is looking to do a studio shoot. Great facilities and good atmosphere. Mark and Lynzi were very professional and friendly. We tried out lots of different lightning set ups and backgrounds. During the shoot, Lynzi created two make up looks which photographed wonderfully. Although there was a lot of glitter, I had a great time working with Mark and Lynzi and I would be happy to work with them again. Mark and Lynzi have exceptional creative artistic direction and talent. I would recommend Mark and Lynzi at Chilmington Studios.
