Another great shoot at Fareham recently, great to work with the Christmas set whilst it was still there and love all the different sets that Rin has, there's always plenty to work with and you definitely run out of time before using it all that's for sure!

Rin is a great host, plenty of cups of tea on the go throughout and a large array of herbal teas which is a huge bonus for me as not a lot of studios do have that!! She's there to help with lighting etc if needed but also happy to stay out the way if not.

Thanks so much, will definitely be back again soon I'm sure :D

It was great to return to Fareham again, this time with Emily Rose J.

We were welcomed by Rin who was the perfect host - friendly but unobtrusive, she provided advice to both Emily and me, and kept the tea and coffee flowing.

The studio allows for a huge variety of styles and ideas. We shot downstairs, upstairs and a first for me, on the stairs. It was great to see some new sets, including a Xmas set which was a nice surprise. The natural light upstairs was fabulous today and there is all the artificial light you could ever want.

Thanks Rin, we had a great time.

I was trying to find a studio which had an number of mini-set options and stumbled across Fareham which seemed to fit the bill to a "T".

Booking was very simple. Rin was very straightforward and professional throughout the booking period.

When in the studio, she was a master of all she surveyed. Rather than messing around trying to work out the best lighting for any particular image, all I did was ask to advice, and it was pretty much spot-on every time.

In addition she was perfectly happy to help out with the gratuitous cups of coffee and tea, and apart from that she left us to our own devices.

Apologies to Rin that we did not pack up by the end of the allotted time. I am grateful that I didn't feel feel any real pressure to be out of the place at the end of the allotted schedule, and we actually loved using the space so the minutes at the end of the schedule were cram packed with frantic shots...

All in all, I can only give a 100% thumbs up to the studio. It was a joy and we hope to return in the future for more shoots there.

First time shooting at Fareham Studio and was very impressed. I don't often shoot at studios, but Rin and the team made it a really easy and enjoyable experience.

Upon arriving at the studio, Rin had already set up a space and lighting based off the mood board I had sent over to Kate Star, the model I was booked to work with. This was extremely thoughtful, and helped us get straight to shooting. Was cool to see Rin also understood my concept. Hot Coffee and heating was provided, which was very welcome considering the nasty stormy weather outside. As well as assistance with lighting throughout the shoot. Little touches like that make a studio special, and this one stands out as one of the best I've had the pleasure of shooting at.

The studio is well set up with plenty of lighting options, sets, backdrops, and almost anything else you can think of.

I'll definitely look at booking more shoots here in the future. Thanks for a great time!

First time using Fareham Studio in a little over a year.

As always Rin was a fantastic host and the studio looks amazing.

Looking forward to getting back shooting more often back in the studio.

I highly recommend Fareham Studio if you looking for somewhere to shoot in the Portsmouth/Fareham area

I was fortunate enough to shoot with Rachelle Summers at Fareham Studios on her Maternity shoot castings. Fareham Studios was an excellent choice for our shoot. It is well equipped for both Daylight and Flash photography and the owner Ran is a superb set designer. We had a wide range of sets to work with and they made an important contribution to the resulting images. The ability to move quickly and easily between sets helped us to work through a range of outfits and settings and create some lovely images in a short space of time. Thank you Rin. I look forward to working there again in the near future.

Highly recommended for all levels of photographer

Fareham Studio is an absolute gem for any photographer looking for a well-equipped and versatile space. This was my first time shooting here, and I was thoroughly impressed with the setup and the range of areas available. Rin clearly takes great pride in the studio, keeping each space immaculate and ready for use.

We shot in three of the upstairs areas: the bedroom, a cosy summer-themed corner, and the harem area. Each space had its own distinct vibe, which made it easy to create a variety of looks in a single session. The natural light streaming through the studio was fantastic, and we managed to capture most of our shots using just the available light. For those moments where a bit of extra light was needed, we used a constant fill light, but the studio also has a range of lighting equipment available for more complex setups, ensuring photographers are ready for any situation.

Fareham Studio is truly a well-thought-out, comfortable space with every detail meticulously cared for. Whether you’re looking for a natural light session or something requiring full lighting gear, this studio is a brilliant choice. Highly recommended!

My first time shooting here and won't be the last.

Fantastic, functional studio with everything you need to create some amazing images including the wonderful host that is Rin.

Rin was always on hand to lend a helping hand and even helped my first time model with some pose instruction.

Highly recommended and look forward to shooting here again!.

As always Rin is welcoming and has a great knowledge of lighting and set design. Always very helpful all the way through a shoot. Thanks Rin. Top recommendation.

See you again soon.

Haven't shot here since 2017 when the studio was quite different, but what a difference a few years makes! Studio space is great. Love the upstairs setups with lots of natural light to use, and lots of different scene options. Downstairs has lots of space for creative lighting, with backdrops of all colours to choose from.

Rin is on hand for anything you might need, plus of course cups of tea :)

I'll be back again, and probably not 7 years this time.

I had the pleasure of hosting a model day at Fareham Studio yesterday, and I cannot praise the experience enough. Rin is the most wonderful host! It was my first visit in four years, and the studio has undergone incredible changes, with lots of new backdrops and some very cool sets upstairs. Rin ensured everything ran smoothly, keeping me comfortable throughout the day with teas and coffees and offering valuable assistance with lighting and set dressing. She was incredibly friendly and helpful with each shoot. Thank you, Rin, for making the day such a success and for being a truly fantastic host! Highly recommended!

Was so great to be back at Fareham Studio again recently for my studio day, Rin was super helpful via comms and we had the help of Andy (Gothic Image) on the day to help run things, as Rin was still in Italy at the time. The studio is great, plenty to use and loads of space too as well as plenty of props to use too.

Very highly recommend this studio, and I’m sure I will be back again at some point. Thanks again! :D

I visited Fareham Studio for the first time and actually did two shoots in two days with different models.

The studio was fine for what I wanted and Emma was extremely helpful if you required any help or left us well alone if not.

Liked the industrial type staircase as got some great shots there, although that wasn't a specific set 😁

Simple and varied sets and you could manufacture you own within those too.

So all in all definitely recommend. Easy to find and park.

I worked two hours at Fareham studio on a studio day - my first time visiting Fareham. The studio already has over 700 positive references, so maybe there's nothing new for me to say except to confirm it was really as good as everyone else already said!

I thought the studio's standout feature was its versatility: it is spacious and well-equipped, with an abundance of diverse shootable areas. In just two hours, this variety allowed me to produce plenty of images with different styles and concepts.

I was surprised to find a completely different set in every corner of the two floors. A carefully curated collection of props throughout the studio says a lot about Rin's excellent taste and eye for aesthetics. I'm sure she has thoughtfully selected each item to enhance the sets' visual appeal and storytelling potential.

There's high-quality lighting gear, including a variety of modifiers. However, the quality of natural light in the studio is absolutely fantastic: the space harnesses daylight to create beautiful, soft illumination – a dream for any photographer who, like myself, appreciates working with natural light. I was really lucky on the day and didn't use any of the studio lights.

So, thank you Rin for managing the studio so flawlessly and organising the studio day. I had a really good creative time at your studio. Another well-deserved 100% recommendation!

Had an amazing group photo shoot last night at Fareham studio, with this being only my second studio photo shoot, I was a bit apprehensive, I was made to feel at ease from the moment I stepped in the studio. we were photographing the amazing model CaitlynJ, she is a fantastic model and I cannot wait to photograph her again some time.

I will defiantly be returning to Fareham Studio again very soon, I would highly recommend anyone no matter what experience level you are to shoot at Fareham Studio at least once, you will go back.

thank you Rin for such a a great evening.

now to edit all the photos I took...

This was my fourth shoot at Fareham Studio and Rin has made a lot of changes to the backgrounds and sets available to shoot particularly in the natural light area upstairs.

This shoot was three hours with Ell Mae.

Rin was on hand to help with the setting up of the lights and props so that I could get the most out of the session.

Rin is always very helpful and supplied coffee on arrival and during a break.

I used both the main studio and the natural light area and got a wide range of images for my portfolio.

I highly recommend the studio to all photographers.

I had my first visit to Fareham Studio for a 1:1 shoot with Ell Mae on a Rin organised Studio Day.

The studio is a fabulous place to shoot with beautiful natural light, amazing sets and more flash heads, modifiers, backdrops and props than you would ever need to use.

Rin was on hand from the outset, providing a welcome to the studio coffee and a run through on the studio and its facilities. Rin was also available to help with lighting set up, make suggestions on modifier types, and also generally available throughout my 4hr shoot.

Rin has put a lot of effort into creating a variety of beautiful sets, well decorated and loads of variety.

As I said, this was my first time to shoot at Fareham but I very much look forward to the opportunity to shoot there again in the future, and would 100% recommend the studio and Rin.

I have shot at Fareham studio multiple times, and never get tired with lots of space and shooting opportunities.

This time with a short shoot within a studio day for Ellie May.

Really happy to keep booking and trying to do something new each time.

Sinopa Rin has a really great local studio here and is well worth booking for almost any shooting ideas.
