Thank you so much Paul for having me again at your awesome studio. Also big thanks for all the help you gave today in getting the right lighting set up for the photographers, changing backgrounds, moving props and making lovely coffee!!

F/8 is definitely a studio that is going places! Paul makes a huge effort to make people feel welcome and ensure they get the pics they want. It's a super studio for photographers who are starting out and need a bit of extra help, but also for more experienced photographers who want to make use of the natural light and latest super dooper Broncolor lighting kit that Paul has just bought.

Can't wait to be back to what is undoubtedly my closest studio and one of my firm faves! Very highly recommended.

What a great studio f/8 is!

Paul is fantastically helpful both before and during the shoot and made sure both Mel and I had everything we wanted. As a newcomer to 'proper' studio lighting Paul gave a lot of support and suggestions and really took the time to help us get the lighting set ups right, as well as changing backgrounds, setting up booms etc. I got far more out of the day as a result.

The studio itself is amazingly well equipped. The lights are top of the range and the modifiers are brilliant. Paul is also gathering a wonderful range of props and creative pieces that make a shoot really good fun.

I will definitely be back!

Ahh what a day.

After being fantastically late due to car issues, which Paul was lovely about, we were off!

This studio has absolutely everything and the lights are to die for! From back drops, to props, to wardrobe Paul has thought of literally everything and in case you didn't think the deal was sweet enough Paul will go out of his way to make you're happy and have what you need.

Thoroughly recommended! :)

Shot here on Rosie Flames studio day and have to say I'm massively impressed with the changes Paul has made at the studio. Lights, modifiers, backgrounds and props are all now top rate. Paul is a great host, happy to assist when asked and then leave you to get on with it. Very much looking forward to seeing how the studio grows in future.

We attended f/8’s studio day with the lovely model Rosie Flame. The studio is well-equipped with great lighting, furniture and a wealth of quirky props. Paul was very accommodating - and happy to help with setting up the lights and sets. We’d definitely use f/8 studio again.

A fabulous shoot with great results, this was my first shoot 1 to 1 with a model and despite my lack of expertise Paul and Aimee did a wonderful job, i came away with super selection of images despite no preplanning or theme.

Paul.

really know his equipment and how to get the best from it his knowledge and experience on how to light a subject was superb and without his guidance i am sure that i would not have had so many wonderful images.

Aimee.

I had a super successful studio day at F8. Its becoming my second home.. And I ain't complaining! 😁.

Paul is always about to help with lighting and answer any questions, and is happy to give privacy but is always just a shout away! Always cracking jokes and being friendly to anyone who enters his studio.

The studio always has clean toilets, hot drinks and water on tap and is always a comfortable temperature with a changing area for privacy.

I'll no doubt be back and I look forward to it!

Highly recommended.

Thanks Paul!

It was my first visit to this studio for quite some time and it was great to see that so much has changed for the better. The level of equipment is second to none and it gives so many options that you could shoot fo a whole day and still have options for another day.

This was my first shoot post-lockdown and a lot of effort has been put in to ensuring social distance can be maintained and steps are being regularly taken to keep the studio in a safe and secure state.

Thanks for hosting my first post-lockdown shoot and making the whole experience so easy.

Highly recommended.

I had a shoot at f8 with this afternoon. What a lovely experience, Paul offered me a coffee as soon as I came in and then let me loose on the awesome Broncolor lighting kit ! Paul was always at hand to help with lighting stuff and general guidance and I really enjoyed my shoot - great relaxed atmosphere and oh my that Broncolor Para !!!

Thanks Paul for a great afternoon and to the lovely Simone for modelling with such energy.

Will definitely be back !

I had my first shoot back after lockdown today with Gloucester based model Simoneh with whom I have worked with on many previous occasions. It was the first time that I have met Paul and I was given a very friendly welcome. Paul has certainly made good use of the lockdown period having constructed some very impressive shelving to house a wide range of equipment. The whole feel of the studio is that of a clean well organised space; so important in these challenging times. The studio has also invested in some high spec Broncolour lights. Although we only used the strip lights during our shoot; I was very impressed by the results delivered. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of my first shoot at F/8 studio today. This is definitely the most highly equipped studio that I have worked in. Immaculately clean and sterilised to meet covid19 safety requirements. The studio has all the top of the range Broncolor lighting that made such a difference to what could be achieved and finished results. A great space to work in.... Paul is very welcoming and passionate about what he does, the vast array of high tech equipment reflects this. Highly recommend this studio and Paul as photographer too... years of high level experience, reflected in his work. So much knowledge to share to take photography to a higher professional level.

My learned a lot in my first studio shoot the owner Paul is very help I gave him a broad outline of the lighting and look I was after him did everything to to get the best lighting. I had a great first shoot and was able to relaxed and get over my initial nerves quickly.

Finally got to model in this studio today and met the lovely Alley.

Lovely studio, easy to find great equipment and props ect, private area for the model, tea made to order.... Can't fault it and can't wait to go there again x

Another fun shoot at the excellent f/8 studio, this time a group shoot organised by the amazing Alley. The amount of prep done was incredible, with sets, costumes and the lovely Carla Monaco. We were also treated to a spread of food which was amazing. If you haven’t been to f/8 and need a studio I couldn’t recommend them more.
