Another great shoot in this friendly studio. As usual nothing was too much trouble.

Very professional set up.

100% recommendation from me.

Brilliant studio!! I have worked at Curiosity many times. Always a friendly welcome. Very well organised, clean and warm, lots of props, plenty of excellent lighting and just a really nice place to shoot. In fact the last model I took there said she loved it so much she would like to move in 😊😊.

Looking forward to another shoot there soon. Highly recommended

Another great shoot at Curiosity.

Despite being a last minute thing Christine was able to accommodate me without a problem.

Always the same warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble. (Christine even gave my model advice on her piercing)

I cannot recommend Curiosity highly enough.

See you all soon.

It would seem that I'm a terribly rude person, as I've not left Curiosity Studio a reference before (I thought I had done)!! Please forgive me - I seem to be a bit crap at references, I'm so sorry!

I shot with Broadbean and Saffron in Curiosity Studio on 7th August 2021, on a really fun clown-themed shoot, but I've actually had a good few shoots here going back to March 2018... mostly with Broadbean as the photographer.... I've even organised my own studio weekend here, back in 2019!

I am NOT normally into working at studios - as a nude location model, it's not something that usually works for me. HOWEVER - there's something about Curiosity that is different, and I feel quite comfortable and at home here. For a forest-loving hippy like me, that's quite something!

I like the fact that the studio is quite small. It's intimate, and not intimidating. It's comfortable, and has everything I need as a model. I am lucky then that this is the studio that is closest to me. It's still a couple of hour's drive away - but I have no hesitation in driving down to Treorchy if anyone wishes to book me at the studio. The familiarity of this place now puts me at ease. I know I can park (either outside, or very close by). The studio owners are LOVELY people - warm and welcoming! Since covid, there are limitations about using the studio, but it didn't impact us really. I appreciated that they kept all the windows open to keep a good flow of air throughout the building, and I didn't feel at risk by using the facilities. There's a tattoo studio downstairs, so obviously they have to take all covid regulations very seriously.

There are three rooms at the studio: I love the aesthetic of the Red Room, and it's unique look and equipment. For strong and powerful fetish imagery, the Red Room is fantastic! It's a little small to move around, but personally I think it works better for more intimate shots and close crops - which suit erotica and fetish styles.

The Black Room is generally the room that gets used, and I've modelled in some varied sets there over the past few years. A bed can be set up if required for a boudoir shoot. I've modelled in the bath, in the bird cage (sadly no longer there), used the giant mirror, posed against the stylish black wall paper... And other times we've just used the space to set up lights and take simple studio nudes and portraits. It's a fairly small space but it's easy to be creative and get great variety there.

The White Room is a little bit out of my comfort zone (an empty space), but it is perfect for most models and photographers who enjoy studio work. Sadly it is out of bounds at the moment anyway, due to covid restrictions.

Christine or another member of staff is usually on hand to give any help if required. The whole team are very approachable and friendly!

I can't recommend this studio enough - to all models and photographers - I really enjoy my time here and I'm looking forward to my next visit, hopefully very soon!

First shoot back at Curiosity since you know what.

The same warm welcome from Christine and the crew.

Christine had the studio well ventilated and the fans blowing by the time I got there to try and cool things down a bit.

We had full use of the upstairs space for our shoot.

If anyone is looking for a very well equipped studio you need look no further than Curiosity.

Great range of lights, modifiers and anything else you may need to get the shot...And as for props.... well take your pick.

100% recommended.

I've always loved shooting at Curiosity Studios, and somehow knew that this shoot - the very first for me 'post covid lockdown' - would be an experience.

I'd just completed my own 'Covid Awareness Course for Therapists' with a 100 percent passmark, so I was not at all surprised to find that Christine, Tyler and Preston had 'ticked all the boxes' to ensure that me and my model would be safe... and that the post-shoot clean-up by Tyler would ensure that the next clients would be equally safe.

Wonderful to be back, working in this wonderful studio. Most highly recommended, as ever:)

I love this studio, I have shot in there twice now, once as a model once as a photographer. The owner Christine is super lovy and brings tea and buscuits too!! Has a lot of space and props to choose from also tonnes of costumes too!x

Broadbean

This studio now feels like my second home, such a warm welcome from Christine she makes the studio such a welcoming place. Nothing is too much trouble for her to sort out for you. Well worth hiring the studio without a model just to meet Christine and Preston. Highly recommended.

I organised my second studio day at Curiosity Studio.

They made a really good impression on me last time and I was happy to return.

Its warm, pleasant and Christine and the others are excellent hosts, you never want for anything and help is always on hand.

Always happy to return :)

I had a fantastic third or even fourth shoot at Curiosity studios and they never disappoint.

The studios are always clean, warm and full of every type of prop and lighting equipment you would need and the staff are on hand if you need any help.

We arrived too a warm welcome, a cuppa and some biscuits, what more could you ask for!

I would highly recommend Curiosity Studio to any model or photography needing a great studio with many different prop ideas, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks again and see you soon,

Another visit to Curiosity Studio for my first shoot with Talli Lyndsey. Christine and Preston were, as always, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. It's always a pleasure shooting at their studio.

So it's a yes from me.

Talli Lyndsey

After having the studio recommended to me by a couple of photographers whenever shooting down in the south west region I couldn't resist getting in touch with them once seeing images of the studio on here!

Photogenic props, furniture and equipment all of excellent quality -and most of which built by the owner Preston!- the 3 large spaces they have created to shoot in are all very well thought out in terms of lighting equipment, layout and power points.

A very versatile and practical studio!

More so with a private dressing room ans bathroom for models all kept in great condition.

My pre communication with Christine had been nothing short of excellent and they had a lot of patience and understanding with me before and throughout my visit! I was made to feel completely welcome and can undoubtedly say this is one of my absolute favourite studios!

Highly recommended!!!,❤️❤️❤️

I arranged a studio day with Curiosity studios after a couple of photographers had recommended it, and they were absolutely right to!

Christine was really welcoming and offered me hot/cold drinks throughout the day, she showed me around and was helpful if photographers needed to borrow any props.

The studio is really clean, with a dressing room and a toilet for privacy and changing. The two rooms are really versatile and theres a variety of lighting possibilites and endless props and furniture to use thats easily moveable.

The day was enjoyable, it was great to meet Christine and Presion and use the studio in its full glory.

Thanks guys! Ill be back.

Finally got to the studio it's only taken 2 years...when the last minute opportunity to work with Mischkah here came up I jumped at it.

The studio is clean, very well equipped and Christine and Preston are very friendly and made me feel welcome from the start.

I can highly recommend this studio, I have the feeling this may be the first of many visits :-)

Thanks Guys (Y)

Had my first shot at this studio and definitely not my last. 3 great rooms with everything you need loads of props as much help as you need super friendly and very professional and just and all around nice atmosphere.

Highly recommend this studio

My third visit to Curiosity Studio, this time to shoot Victoria Summers. There is always a warm welcome at the studio, models and photographers are well looked after. I love the black room with it's it's great range of furnishings. I still haven't managed to go through the all the contents of the props cupboard but usually find something to add to the image. The 'dungeon' seems well equipped with equipment but the red and black decor makes for really eye-catching images without having to get too 'kinky'! I hope to find a good reason to return soon.
