Straight to the top as my local recommended studio.

Attended a studio day with a disabled client, so I have to risk assess constantly. Delighted that Andy was also on top of this, along with any or all assistance or disappearance whether directed or tacit.

Great selection of props and modifiers, decent space to work in, and looked like the right size of changing room for model/s. Hope this will be open for a long time to come.

I've worked at Fareham studios a couple of times now during my travels and always had a blast! Its a really fantastic space to model, with plenty of room and well equipped.

Its very easy to find and park. The private changing area for the model is also large (and full of props and accessories) The studio has all of the facilities you could wish for as a creative.

The studio owner Andy is very approachable and always on hand to help the photographer should they need it. The studio has stairs so may not be suitable for those with disabilities.

Highly recommended from me and really hope to be back soon, I had a lovely day! Helen x

I had a four hour shoot at Fareham Studio last Friday, and it could not have gone much better! I am still something of a novice when it comes to studio work, and so it was so great that Andy was on hand to give advice where required, and lend a hand with setups. Andy really knows lighting and my images are all the better for his input! He is also a very friendly guy, who is fascinating to talk to about his ideas and how he achieves them.

The studio itself is very well set up, with a vast array of different lights, modifiers and props. I will definitely be making more bookings in the future! Thank you Andy!

I attended a group shoot organised by Blured Vision at this wonderful studio. Andy, the owner was very helpful and friendly, the studio is well equipped and laid out in a manner which allows you to maximise the space and get your shots. The models has a large changing room with a selection of props. I recommend this first classs gem without hesitation.

A big thank you to Andy Gaden at Fareham Studio for saving the night on Wednesday. I run an occasional groupshoot from Andy's studio. While I was traveling over to Fareham Studio, Andy took a call that due to illness the model had to cancel. By the time I arrived still oblivious to the situation Andy had secured a replacement with a local model the fabulous Chloesul. A great evening thanks to Andy and Chloe.

Thank you both very much.

I had a brilliant first time shooting at Fareham Studio on Wednesday. The space itself is great and has plenty of room to shoot in, and there is an abundance of lighting equipment, backdrop and props to shoot from, allowing you to get as creative as you want. Andy, the manager, was super friendly and gave me a walk-round of all the equipment before we started and was always available to lend a hand when we needed it. I would love to shoot there again. Highly recommend it!

It was my first time shooting in a proper studio and wasn't sure on what to expect! Straight away Andy was very helpful and friendly, also providing tea and cake!

The changing room was well stocked with bobby pins, brushes, straighteners, shoes, everything you could possibly need.

As a new model it was very reassuring him being there to give advice and tips from posing to what avenue he felt I would thrive in. Definitely recommended!

My fourth and very successful visit to Fareham Studio.

It was a cold evening accompanied by torrential rain but thankfully this studio is always snug and comfortable.

As always, Andy made sure we were well looked after and was always there to lend a hand when needed.

Fab studio!!!!! :D

Another (my seventh in the last 12 months) visit to Fareham Studio: that in itself says how much I would recommend shooting there as the studio is 50 miles from home. Andy was on hand with great advice when needed but left us to get on with shooting. This time he even created a laurel wreath 'hat' for me when we were shooting a grecian goddess set: thanks Andy, many more sessions to come.

Today I paid my first visit to Fareham Studio. Andy, the manager, is one of the nicest managers I've met. He was always available to lend a helping hand. The studio provides wonderful props, lighting and backgrounds for achieving special images. Highly recommend it

Yet another great session at Fareham Studio. Andy was helpful as always, sorting through masses of cables to allow me to do strange things with flash heads. He kept us supplied with tea and we got excellent images - what more can you ask? :-)

This was my third visit to Fareham Studio but this time I was hosting a studio day. Andy is so helpful and friendly which made the whole day go without a hitch.

A brilliant and well equipped studio to work in and a perfect temperature too which is very much appreciated on a cold winter's day! Looking forward to my return! :D

Another fun tea-fuelled shoot at Fareham Studio. Many thanks to Andy, who is always helpful and happy to muck in, even for a semi-experimental shoot where we didn't exactly know what we were doing! Thoroughly recommended.

I have visited Andy's studio on numerous occasions in the few years it has been open, and everytime i go its evolved a little bit more. Andy is a really great owner, there when you need him and melts in to the background when you dont.

The range of equipment and props is really useful for getting exactly what you want, I normally shoot from home and use Andy's when I need more space, but its always nice to get a different look from a prop or lighting setup that I couldnt achieve at home.

I couldnt recommend this place enough to be honest, if you are a beginner then Andy will help you through and if you are more experienced then there are loads of toys to play with.

For the models there is a decent sized changing/make up area and is always warm ( in fact one of my models got too hot!)

Whats not to like!! Highly recommended.

Great shooting at Fareham Studio on Wednesday evening. Andy is fantastic to work with,always listening and always ready to help and offer his considerable knowledge. Having explained to Andy the light set up I wanted ,he delivered it perfectly. Great tea:) and very well equipped .Plus a great separate area for the models to change which is important

Yet another brilliant evening spent at the Fareham Studio, with the most helpful and accommodating owner Andy Gaden. This time I needed help in setting up lighting in the stair well, after asking what I had in mind Andy got to work and created the set and assisted during the shoot. Andy is the perfect host in that if you need help he is on hand, if you just want to do your own thing then that's just how it is.

The Fareham Studio and whole package comes highly recommended.

I have worked at fareham studio countless amount of times and it is by far the best studio I have worked with and glad to be a local model to it.

The studio itself is well equipped with tons of props, shoes, and a lovely clean dressing room equipped with everything a model could ever want!

Andy the studio owner is very lovely and helpful and always willing to help the photographer to get a final image complete. Andy is such a lovely guy and always ensures the studio is maintained to the highest standard.

Highly recommend this studio to everyone.
