Good 1st shoot at Matchbox Studio.

Good backdrops, plenty of props (not that we used them), enough space but not so much that we rattled around.

Plenty of lights & modifiers and also enough light for some natural light work.

What can I say. Another great experience at Matchbox studio with Melissa Tongue.

Will is a wonderful host with a studio with everything a photographer needs at his disposal.

A great studio.

I had a really good shoot with Heather May Corvid at Shadow Studio in Gloucester.

Mark and Hannah were excellent hosts, both warm and friendly.

The studio was well equipped and an excellent space to do most forms of photography.

I would highly recommend the studio and would definitely work there again.

I held my first studio day at Matchbox yesterday and it went very well. Will was a great host, the studio is well equipped and has plenty of shooting opportunities. Although it was a very rainy day there was still some great natural light flooding in.

Music played all day, the organisation shone through and the pre comms were spot on.

I will definitely be organising another studio day here.

Very highly recommended to all!

I today had my first visit to Matchbox I joined Layla Lee on a studio day which was awesome.

The studio itself is great, has everything I needed and it was more than comfortable. Will showed me round and was brilliant he helped with anything I needed and was on hand all day. Couldn't have asked for more.

Overall a brilliant day, everyone who attended was lovely and seemed to enjoy it. I know layla and myself enjoyed it.

Can't wait to come back.

I spent an amazing 3 hours last night at Matchbox where Will gave me a tutorial on gel lighting. Will is a fantastic tutor and makes learning so easy and fun. I learnt so much in the three hours that it has given my confidence a boost. I highly recommend Will and his wonderful studio and I'm keen to try out my new found skills. Thank you Will.

Second time at Matchbox studios :) This time I got to host a full studio day. Will was great from the first communications about the studio day to the day itself. Love the natural light, props and space. Hopefully we can plan another studio day soon :) Highly recommended.

This was my first visit to Matchbox under Will's ownership and it won't be my last. Perfect level of support or anonymity throughout. Great mix of backdrops and props available. 100% recommendation from me.

Matchbox is a veritable cornucopia of delights! It was a fair journey for me as google maps 2hrs descended into 3hrs with traffic - a little more than the extra time I'd allowed for. Having arrived, Will was the hostus mostus and all was super calm really quickly!

The studio is very airy and spacious, has facilities, props and natural light galore - as well as some window baffles for diehard studio fans.

I had a fabulous time and the shots piled up. Alas time flew by and now I can only look forward to returning.

Happily and very heartily recommended.

Love Wills sense of humour. Great space and props, especially enjoyed the use of a chain swing! Great lighting equipment. Reccomended

I had another great shoot at this fantastic studio on Friday. Will the owner is super friendly and always on hand to help out. The shoot on Friday was a beautiful boudoir set, but first we used the swing. Oh yes, Matchbox has a swing and chains and with Will's help and advice we were able to do a superb swing shoot. With the boudoir set I wanted a luxurious and moody look and Will was able to set up and show me what to do to achieve the look I wanted. I highly recommend Matchbox, thank you Will.

Recently had my first visit to Matchbox Studio for a studio/model day.

Will was very helpful, professional and friendly.

The studio has a good layout with some lovely furnishings, props and backdrops.

I would happily work at Matchbox Studio again and highly recommend.

Worked at Matchbox again last month on my 17 day tour!

Had a great half day shoot there and was well looked after by Will who supplied drinks/ help throughout my time there.

Hoping to return again next time I am local :)

I shot for a couple of hours here on a studio day today. Matchbox is a nice little studio that makes the most of it's space. There's a good choice of varied backgrounds, really nice natural light. A well thought out set of props and furniture and a wide selection of lights and modifiers.

Will is a really friendly host, very welcoming and good with a kettle. I'll be visiting again soon I'm sure.

Will organised a gel studio night with Simoneh as the model for the evening, a great combination as both worked hard to keep the shoot going to plan, we had three prepared sets and the back of the camera images were brilliant.

great fun place to work and plenty of hot and cold drinks and jaffa cakes

highly recommended for any style of shoot

I will be back soon

Ruby Derriere

Great shoot here today. Excellent lighting equipment, sets and props and fantastic staff with great sense of humour. Looking forward to shooting here again. Highly recommended

Had my first shoot at Matchbox studio today and what a superb space. Will the owner is a great guy, easy going, friendly, makes a fab coffee and is on hand if you need any help.

The natural light is incredible and the furniture is so easy to move around, from a 2 seat sofa to a proper bed and even a piano.

I highly recommend using Matchbox studio and will certainly be going back asap.

Thank you
