Wish this studio was a lot closer to me. It’s taken me a while o get down there, but what a great experience. I was able to shoot natural light on a slightly overcast day, which was a pleasant surprise. The owner was great showing me around and letting me know where the light would be and showing me little areas I would not have considered. Loads of kit and detailed, well layed out corners. Textured walls, everything I needed and so much I didn’t get chance to use. I can’t wait to get back there again. Highly recommended.

I have had 2 most amazing shoots in the last 5 days at the terrific Fareham Studio.

Both shoots were totally different and both so good.

First shoot was a vintage/retro shoot with Sinopa Rin, who did a fabulous job with the 4 very different sets with very different lighting on each. It was a mini group shoot with 2 photographer friends. Rin did an amazing job with the lights, modelling and costumes.

The second shoot was on a 121 basis with Carla Monaco. Sinopa Rin did the lighting to perfection once again. Another incredible shoot with so many amazing images.

Rin is now the studio owner in her own right and has done the lighting and sets for many years - she has an encredible amount of experience with lights and also modelling. I have had many shoots at Fareham Studio and Rin has done the lights on numerous occasions for me over the years.

She has a natural talent in the studio and sets up the lights to perfection so quickly and gets them exactly to my style even when my needs aren’t best described by me.

I love working alongside Rin as a model and studio owner - an absolute joy and talent, helping me gets the images exactly how I want them

Thank you so much Rin - see you very soon

First time back to this wonderful gem of a studio since last year - really lovely to finally meet Rin!

I visited Fareham for the first time in almost two years, this time with Annie Goldman1, and it was just as good as I remember. The upstairs area in particular was perfect for what we wanted to achieve and we created some great images. We were well looked after by Emma. Hope to visit again soon.

First time at Fareham Studio was for a Cosplay workshop which I thoroughly enjoyed. I found the owner Rin was very professional and very helpful, particularly with the lighting and settings. I thoroughly recommend this studio for a shoot and hope to do so in the future.

I had the great pleasure of attending a Cosplay themed event at Fareham Studio modelled by the lovely Molly-Mae and styled by the brilliant Sinopa Rin. The shoot totally rocked three very different characters (Black Widow, Cinderella & Harley Quinn) in three hours for four separate photographers.

The choice of characters was Genius as it showed their combined talent by staging, lighting and modelling equally brilliantly in hard then soft then gelled, smoky light and allowed us three very different looks.

I can also sincerely say that this was one of my most fun group shoots EVER. Rin always ensures that all her models and photographers are completely at ease, stepping in to offer advice if necessary to ensure the best possible images with regular tea and coffee breaks. The shoot was completely professional whilst being fun and good humoured - keeping to plan, with no need for timers or clock watching. Also how many shoots have you been at where the model is so relaxed she spontaneously delivered a beautifully rendered Disney song whilst dressed as Cinderella to a well deserved huge round of applause?

So if you are reading this considering booking Fareham Studio - just do it - I think you will really enjoy the atmosphere there too.

I had the pleasure of working at Fareham studios last week for a full day of shoots.

I loved my day at the studio, Rin who is now the full time owner could not have been more helpful to me and the photographers- on hand to to offer drinks, setting up lights, moving things around etc.

The studio is a great space to work in, natural light, sets, backdrops, props,- it has a bit of everything and you will be look after 100%

I look forward to my return.

Highly recommended.

My first visit to the studio with Rin in charge, and although it won't quite be the same without Andy I'm pleased to report that all is up to the usual excellent standard. Even the cups of tea are back to normal. :-)

My home from home, definitely recommended!

I have used this studio many times but today was my first visit since Sinopa Rin become the sole owner recently. I am pleased to say that it was business as usual, from the same warm welcome to the high standard of equipment & support. There is nothing I can add to the other 606 references about this wonderful studio.

I just want to wish Rin all the best for the future and I am sure she will continue the high standards that this studio is famed for. I look forward to supporting her and used her studio regularly.

Fareham Studio is amazing! I was a little star struck anyway because of my first time in a studio. Rin showed me around, had the grand tour and so many thoughts and ideas are still buzzing around my head.

I had full use of the main room, the lighting kit was on point and felt immediately at ease and very welcomed.

I'm really behind supporting local businesses, it's important and will be doing all I can to spread the word and keep returning for more time.

Paid my latest visit to Fareham Studio last Friday for a shoot with Senopa Rin. I was gutted to hear of the passing of Andy and at one point thought the future of the studio looked bleak. However, like many others was delighted to hear that Sinopa Rin had taken over. I love to work with the available light and sets upstairs and working with Rin was a joy as she was able to advise me on getting the best shots. So, models and photographers please give Rin all the support you can. Good luck, Rin, and thanks

As a complete newcomer to portraiture and studio shooting, I decided to book an introductory studio session with Rin; I thought she would be ideally placed to help me given her experience as a photographer and model. It proved to be a very good decision; Rin is a brilliant teacher, explains everything in a clear and straightforward manner and led the session with a perfect mix of explanation and ample practical shooting experience with the lovely and wonderful Kate as the model. So glad to have found this wonderful studio and will most definitely be making many more return visits. Highly recommended.

The studio is very well equipped. There is a big dark room downstairs with a wide range of backdrops and props. It has all the lighting equipment you can want. Upstairs has a range of different areas, including an oriental sitting area and a bedroom.

The studio is run by Sinpoa Rin. She could not have been more helpful, with invaluable advice about lighting, accommodating every request instantly and as much tea, coffee and biscuits as I wanted. She is very friendly, an experienced photographer and an experienced model, so any model you bring is sure to feel right at home.

Thanks Rin this time. I have shot here with Andy or Rin helping. They are both marvellous with there help. A great place to shoot. I hope to be back many more times.

Great studio with numerous areas to shoot including Boudoir, natural light sets and the main studio with lotos of flash equipment and backdrops.

We had Rin assisting with lighting and she helps create some great affects.

Thanks Rin.

Highly recommended studio.

My first visit since the re-config of the space - it's an even better Studio now & is being expertly run by Rin as Andy is unwell ATM. Absolutely recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of attending an organised group event the studio, curated with a Valentine's Day theme and led by the talented Jade Lyon. The event, expertly orchestrated by the brilliant Sinopa Rin, exceeded all expectations.

The array of meticulously crafted sets, each intricately designed to embody the essence of Valentine's Day, truly set the stage for creativity to flourish.

With Sinopa Rin at the helm, we were seamlessly guided through each set, ensuring we made the most of our time and captured the perfect shots. The studio's lighting setup, thoughtfully arranged for our convenience, made the process effortless and enjoyable.

A standout highlight of the event was undoubtedly the presence of Jade Lyon, whose professionalism and expertise as a model elevated the entire experience. Her grace and versatility in front of the camera made capturing stunning images a breeze.

I wholeheartedly recommend attending the group events hosted by this studio. Not only is the studio itself equipped with top-of-the-line amenities, but the collaborative atmosphere fostered by Sinopa Rin and her team ensures a memorable and fulfilling experience for all participants.

As someone with a personal studio setup at home, I can attest that this studio holds its own against the best. If circumstances were different, I would undoubtedly make this studio my go-to choice for all my photography needs.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND...

I met Rin for the first time woohoo (who I have to say looks stunning even without make up)...

Looked after me really well with plenty of tea and lovely and warm...

I love it at this studio...

I shot here with 2 photographers for 4 hours each...

The studio owners are absolutely amazing (Rin and Andy) and not just that the studio itself has loads of sets including a shower, so you could shoot here all day and still have stuff to do...

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for a spot on perfect day...

I was fortunate enough to be hosted by the lovely Sinopa Rin for my charity studio day yesterday.

The studio is fantastically well equipped and warm, despite it being the middle of winter. There were plenty of sets to choose from, although we spent the bulk of the day downstairs with the painted dark green wall that i'm a little bit in love with!

I had a very successful studio day here, and Rin was on call throughout the day to help with anything myself or the photographers needed, as well as keeping us topped up with tea and coffee throughout.

Very much recommended studio, even with the upcoming weekday price increase it's an absolute steal of a deal for the variety and assistance that's on offer. I think I might become a regular here!
