My 4th visit to the studio, both sides of the camera as I absolutely love the it. The studios are awesome, the lighting set ups are perfect, the props everything. But what makes it for me are the people there. I cannot ask for a better welcome, assistance and just great tolerance with me being awkward as possible both sides of the camera :) I am a regular now!!! I am already planning my next 2 visits and even talked myself into booking a tattoo and piercing with Preston as I have total trust in him. So helpful, kind, caring and interested in the images produced. Cannot recommend enough and once you have been once you too will have your mind on overtime on when to go back.

Had a great shoot with PHOTOROB at your studio recently and was very impressed with your 3 rooms. I would recommend any aspiring photographer or model to check you out...

After a visit to see the facilities at Curiosity I was excited about the shoot there. Preston is a bit of a prop genius. From swinging birdcage to giant martini glasses. A burly girls dream. The studio is warm and inviting with excellent facilities for both model and photographer alike. Plus down the road from me.

Excellent studio run by a lovely friendly team. Suggest you check them out!

Thank you so much for a great experience and a warm welcome. This is a wonderful studio with a large variety of props and themed rooms that one is spoilt for choice. Preston is on hand to help set up lights etc, makes a great cuppa and is an all round good guy.

There aren't many studios that can offer the range of props that are available at Curiosity Studio. A full size bird cage, with swing/perch and a giant champagne glass just to mention two. There is the most incredible fetish room that has so many props and gadgets - the mind boggles.

I will be back, make no mistake!

This was my first Tutorial Presentation at CURIOSITY STUDIO . Aided by the lovely Mela Suza, who had the patience of a saint, looked gorgeous and worked as professional as ever,

The Tutorial was to show two very well accomplished photographers, who have no studio experience, the basics of lighting and posing.

The studio is so spacious and well equipped that my work as a tutor was made very easy. Also the staff were friendly and helpful and kept us supplied with tea/ coffee. 'all in all' we all had a lot of fun, and even I learned something new.

Many thanks Preston and Christine.

PS. Please contact me for more info, if you are interested in studio photographer and need some friendly assistance.

Particular thanks to Preston for his assistance during this shoot. A extremely well equipped studio, with a wide variety of settings and opportunities. This has to rank as one of the best in Wales. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Curiosity Photography.

I attended a model day at the studio, and was very impressed!

Lots of lighting, modifiers and amazing sets and props, and it's run by really nice people. It exceeded my expectations, and I'd certainly shoot there again. It's a bit out of the way, but it's well worth the travel in my opinion.

My second shoot at Curiosity, this time for just two hours in 'The Red Room' with Rara Goes Roar on her first 'studio day' in Treorchy! Preston and Christine were as thoroughly welcoming and professional as I could ever have hoped for, and I am enormously impressed by the standard of sheer perfection that this family-run studio strives for:)

It has become one of the greatest pleasures of my professional career to work at Curiosity... fantastic attention to detail, incredible tact, totally professional attention to detail, and incredibly supportive.

I'm hoping to run some 'Master Classes' at Curiosity in 2016, so 'watch this space', but apart from that I just want to say... Book yourself a shoot (or two, or three, or more) at this highly recommended and beautifully equipped, inventive, and creative studio where you will be totally supported by the enthusiastic and talented owners.

Had a studio day at Curiosity Photography. The team there were amazing and really helpful as well as helped me remember who I had when and ensured I felt safe and comfortable at all times. Studio is amazingly equipped and I fell in love with the large gold cage!

Definitely recommended

This was my first shoot at the studio in which me and John did a fetish shoot. The studio is fantastic!! Preston was very warm and welcoming a lovely man. He also offered a range of outfits and props before giving me a tour at the end of the shoot. It had everything from sex swings to giant wine glasses. I would love to shoot here again thank you x

I attended the studio today for my first visit, and intend going back when I can. The owners were really nice people, showed me the layout and briefly how to use their equipment and then left Aurelia and I to it. The studio is beautifully decorated to a high standard. It is very well equipped, with a large array of props and layouts. Several rooms with different themes. I definitely recommend going there and using the studio, I fully intend on going back in the future. Thanks guys for your time.

Aurelia

Had my first studio day at Curiosity Photography yesterday - it was truly excellent. Run by the fantastic, welcoming and helpful Preston, Christine and Tyler.

Fantastic facilities, with three separate studio rooms, allowing plenty of options for many different shoot styles and themes. Lots of fun props and additional clothing available to use too. Preston was on hand all day to assist the photographers with the lighting and facilities. Great dressing room for the models to use with good light and a lovely big mirror! Excellent pre-coms in the run up to the day as well.

Really looking forward to returning to do another studio day there. Whether you are looking to hire the studio for a couple of hours or a full day, I would recommend Curiosity to everyone. Thanks guys!

Had my first shoot using curiosity's studio. I used the black room, which had the bird cage and the bath tub, which is the reason why I decided to book the studio, the room is nice and big with a section of wood flooring but a low ceiling so be prepared if you are used to high ceilings. The other rooms looked great too, the white room with the high glide system is brilliant, perfect for high key work. The red room has bondage equipment and if thats your thing it looked like it would be very easy to get some great shots in there. The people are friendly and left us alone for the shoot, and it was nice and warm so no goosebumps. Really good studio I will be going back.

a lovely studio with a growing number of shooting options. Preston could not be more helpful, as well as being a knowledgeable and lovely guy, find just the right balance between helping but leaving you get on with it. Highly recommended and will definitely use again. Drew

I had a model portfolio shoot booked at Curiosity Photography's studio last week, and what a great studio it is. The range of lights and modifiers available is fantastic, meaning I didn't need to set my own up!

Preston and his wife are really friendly and made me feel very welcome and they have put a lot of hard work into the 3 available studios so that every genre is catered for. I used the Black room for a beauty/fashion shoot and it was perfect to create the look I was hoping too.

I look forward to using the White room on my next shoot.

Thanks.

This studio is a total 'eye-opener'. The owners, Preston and his wife, have created a stunning set of photographic studios above and around their own tattoo studios and motorbike workshops.

But they've done so with a total understanding of the needs of the photographers and models who will be using these amazing facilities.

I live a couple of valleys away, and have just used the Black studio (with bird cage, and bath tub, and chaise) for the first time, and very definitely not the last time.

Indeed, I'm booked for a shoot in the Red Room in two weeks time. As an erotic artist, I am used to facilities such as this, but Preston's Red Room is really something. He's researched and built the kit, but also created the atmosphere in a quite exceptional way.

But what I'd really like to communicate is that the owners here have gone to quite exceptional care to ensure that the studios are as fully equipped as possible (Bowens lights, plus every reflector and softbox you can think off) but they are fantastically helpful, thoughtful, flexible, positive, constructive, and perfectionist.

In over 40 years of professional photography I have never worked at a studio complex like this. I was totally impressed, and this new facility is massively recommended.

Fantastic, versatile studio with everything I could ask for and more - today was my first visit but it definitely won't be the last :)
