Fareham is a fabulous studio to shoot in, it absolutely never disappoints. The Studio space is spread over two floors, the ground floor being the studio area and the first floor the natural light (which they have in abundance!) I've worked in both areas and they are both brilliant. The natural light area constantly has custom built sets which are beautifully made, with the smallest of details paid attention to.

Andy, one of the studio owners, is always on hand, pushing a hot beverage into your hand before the shoot begins, also making sure the chanign room is warm! Knowing how cold I usually am, he even cranked up the heating in the studio prior to my arrival!

I definitely wouldn't hesitate to visit and work in this lovely studio in the future and definitely hope to do so again. Its a truly lovely place!

Thankyou for another lovely shooting day!

Such a wonderful day at my first studio day hosted by Andy at Fareham Studio.

The studio itself offers such a large range of diverse looks to work with which paved for some strong looks, not only that but the studio was lovely and toasty which is a huge bonus for me!

On top of that Andy was such a fantastic host, lovely, down too earth and wonderfully interesting to chat with.

Looking forward to returning already!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Booked another shoot at the studio, given the last one went so well.

This is a very professional well organized studio and is always improving.

Andy is very friendly as ever and helpful with setting up and solving problems on the spot.

Will 100% book another shoot when I've recovered from the pile of editing I now have!

First time for me shooting at this superb studio.

More than enough range of equipment, lights and backdrops to choose from, and plenty of space which is essential for capturing my theatrical magic props on camera.

Andy is a fantastic host, who makes you feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble with setting up lights and backdrops to enhance the shooting experience.

It's a 10 out of 10 overall. And hope to be back again soon.

Cheers

Returned for the Hollywood group shoot with Hannah Ashton modelling. Another great group shoot with 3 well styled sets and a model perfect for the shoot. Rin is a great host, great atmosphere and overall it was a fun evening with some quality images, its a yes from me.

Have you ever had one of those weekends where you just didn't want it to end? Well this was one of those weekends!

A Retro Rob Tour at Fareham Studios recreating Hollywoods bygone age of cinematic greats.

Who better than the House of Lighting Fareham Studios with Andy once again adding the magic!

This Tour was to showcase story telling and capture thought provoking images and that was achieved in abundance .

Andy and Rin are a formidable force of ideas and energy and the images created today made me feel proud and enthused to dig deeper and create even more thank you so much Andy and for Rin for all your support big love always and keep that red carpet ready for my next tour!

Yet another shoot at Fareham Studio, this time for a set with Bad Dolly. Andy was as helpful as ever and I didn't even need to have brought some of the props I did because he already had them.

The shoot ended up as true three-way collaboration, much fun was had by all (especially mixing the bubble bath!), much tea was consumed and we got some cracking shots.

Thank you - completely and thoroughly recommended!

I attended one of Andy's studio introduction workshops. This was my first time in a studio and the session was excellent - two hours of discussing the magic of lighting and then plenty of opportunity under Andy's guidance to put the theory into practice, shooting with the very patient Kate Lilleyman. The results were outstanding.

I would definitely recommend this type of workshop if you would like to improve your photography and I'm looking forward to doing more studio shoots.

My first shoot at this fantastic studio. Loved shooting here.. very well kitted out and love all the different sets/areas available. Andy is a superb host and very helpful - thanks Andy!! Thanks for the tea too! Really recommend booking into this studio.

Despite me being so tired (and brain overwhelmed) that I turned up having forgot my bag, my shoot went brilliantly. Why? Because Fareham studio is so well equipped with outfits, accessories, shoes and more that we freewheeled it and had a brilliant shoot, sticking to the styles and levels regardless. Anywhere else I would have done an hour round trip to get my belongings needed. This sums up Fareham studio - literally everything you could ever want is there and more.

This was my first visit and shoot at Fareham Studios.

The facilities the studio provides both with lighting and shooting areas is first class giving much versatility. Andy was in attendance to welcome me, and made a cuppa, which is a positive, and gave me a quick tour. He was on hand throughout the shoot to provide assistance when required and managed to keep a low profile when not. He was also kind enough to rush out to buy some accessories for the model which was much appreciated. In addition the studio has a good collection of outfits for models to use, thankfully this came to great use as a last minute back up.

The studio is very clean and tidy and extremely well laid out and overall I was highly impressed. All pre-comms were all spot on, as was my request to alter the shoot time at short notice, both were carried out perfectly.

Thanks for a great shoot and positive experience...highly recommended..

Well I thought it was about time I sang the praises of Sinopa Rin, who organises so many events at the studio.

I am a fairly regular attendee at the studio, so am very used to the the layout and many sets available. However, Sinopa Rin organises studio days for models together with group events for just a handful of photographers. She comes up with themes for the group events, sets the scene(s) for each set up and organises the lighting.

These events are great for adding images to your portfolio and one of the most enjoyable side of the events is the camaraderie that exists between the model(s) and photographers. The emphasis is clearly to get quality images and hopefully have a bit of fun.

Sinopa Rin has a great eye for design and detail. The fact that she has so much experience on both sides of the camera, certainly helps.

The studio is brilliantly equipped, so anyone thinking of delving into a bit of studio work, do go and give it a try.

Returned for another of Rin's well run group shoots. I like her organised approach, great selection of model and styling, you can tell some thought and planning has gone into these so it's always worth booking onto them.

Great shoot opportunities and models in a great atmosphere with facilities to match.

Was the first time I have been to Fareham Studios and hopefully it won’t be the last. I attended a photoshoot with Joe B and Andy was on site to help.

I couldn’t believe how amazing the set ups are, upstairs looked incredible even with a shower!

Andy is a lovely, chatty host, helping with the studio lighting and set ups and has so much knowledge, I was hugely impressed.

I can’t wait to make another visit and try the upstairs set ups as they look so beautiful. I can’t wait for another shoot here.

It's a bit daft giving yet another reference to Fareham Studio as I seem to practically live there but PurpleBot has just given me a prod. I've been twice this week, once for a group shoot run by Rin and today for a Shibari shoot with Bad Dolly, this time with Andy in charge. As ever, nothing is too much trouble and there's always endless tea or coffee and an excellent playlist.

Completely, absolutely and thoroughly recommended.

Finally got the chance to get back down to Fareham studio and see all the changes as it's been a while since I shot there.

Andy is a fantastic host and you'll be made very welcome and he will be only to happy to help in setting up lights to maximise your studio time. The enhancements have inspired me to get another shoot booked soon so I can make the most of the variety of sets.

Highly recommended by me and looking forward to my next visit.

I attended a group shoot at Fareham Studio this week - shooting the excellent Allys (new to Purpleport.) The shoot was organised by Sinopa ‘Rin’ and everything ran very smoothly - with all photographers (there were 4 of us) getting lots of opportunity to get the images we wanted. I was made very welcome and enjoyed the atmosphere, chat & camaraderie. Fareham Studio group shoots are great value: I would go again. Thank you Rin.

Allys

I had the most fantastic shoot at Fareham studio!!

Organised by Rin and four photographers for the shoot with three sets, it was an incredibly professional set up with everything we could need and more!

Ad hoc props, an additional dress I could use, which was dreamy may I add!

There is a lovely dressing room to get ready in as the model and it has EVERYTHING you might need.

Can't recommend this studio enough, such passion, expertise and lovely welcoming atmosphere, I would 100% love to go back again and shoot with these lovely people :)

First time shooting at the studio and it was a great day day.

Andy was very helpful and chatty throughout the day showing me the equipment and helping setup stuff around my chaotic shooting style.

The level of equipment and the use of the location is excellent, allowing a multitude of setups/styles and effects.

Will need to book again after I recover from this shoot.

Another very successful shoot at Fareham Studios. I really like their new 2 story layout.

Upstairs there is lots of space with natural or constant light and several sets from boudoir to bohemian - they even have a pro level aerial hoop and fully working shower set.

Downstairs is a fully equipped flash studio with lots of backdrops to choose from

Andy, a true master of light, was the host, who will either leave you in peace or provide all the lighting help and advice you need. I always accept the latter as I always learn something new and useful.

Very highly recommended to photographers and models of all experience levels.
