Shoot for the first time today at Fareham Studio, very good studio with lots of possibility. Good old studio with plenty of different background and set.

I will definitely go back shoot in this studio.

Highly recommend

Thank you to sinopa and Andy at Fareham studio for inviting me down for a sold out two day studio day in April.

Super accommodating team, with a very well equipped studio with beautiful set ups! I had a lovely time working there and will definitely return!

Recommended, thanks for having me :)

Fareham Studio is one of my "home" studios, but I want to add a reference for attending one of Rin's workshops - the colour wheel one - it went really well, I'd learned a thing or two, and has certainly made me think about other possibilites - particularly fortuitious at a time when I'm unsure as to how to develop my imagery.

I normally stay away from group shoots and workshops having experienced a few that basically descend into a maul of photographers all shooting together - none of that here, Rin managed everyone in their turn really well with gentility and grace.

100% recommended.

seriously awesome studio space run by seriously awesome folk!

a great place to get creative either with studio lighting or making use of the copious amounts of natural light too.

a humungous RECOMMENDATION from me!

cheers guys for making my second shoot at the studio just as much of an absolute joy as my first!

First time shooting at Fareham Studio today and it really is a superb studio! Andy was there to greet myself and Ken (Kindheart) when we arrived.

Fareham Studio is somewhere I’ve wanted to shoot at for a long time and it really didn’t disappoint.

So many spaces, Backdrops, Props and areas to shoot in, Great little changing area and the studio is so easy to find.

I will definitely be returning to shoot here in the future and highly recommend!

And Andy makes a mean cuppa! ;)

Thank you Jade

What a lovely studio and Andy is brilliant! I spent 2 days at Fareham Studios for shoots organised by Steve Farrell. The space is great - I stayed at the studio and it was very comfortable and had everything I needed. The dressing room is well kitted out with anything that models might need - from hairdryers to slippers to extensive wardrobe options!

Andy is so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for him and any photographer who comes to the studio is lucky to have someone so well versed in lighting set ups to help them out! Over the 2 days I learnt a lot about different lighting techniques myself and enjoyed seeing the different effects he could create. He also made sure we had a constant supply of tea and coffee and kept checking that I was happy and comfortable.

You can tell that he loves what he does and it’s nice to see that he is invested in the images that photographers take in his space. Thank you for being a wonderful host Andy, I hope I get to come back to the studio again :)

I feel most fortunate to have Fareham Studio relatively nearby. My shoot today with EloiseH was brilliantly hosted by Andy Gaden.

As others have said, he keeps everyone happy with a constant flow of teas and coffees. But more than that, he is welcoming, chatty, has a great eye for lighting and the studio affords all sorts of opportunities.

I also want to thank Andy for facilitating this two day event. I am a member of a WhatsApp group of photographers who are like-minded and get on very well. This allows us to meet up for a drink and a bite to eat and organise our own model events. Andy ensures the smooth running of the events and even arranges the accommodation for models, if required.

Thank you Andy, for your help and support, which is very much appreciated.

Any photographer of whatever level ,should use Andy's studio in order to hone their craft. There are so many sets, a formal studio with endless backdrops and the upstairs studio has all manner of sets and options. The natural light on the upper floor is simply great.

Still hyper now...

Andy let myself and the photographer do an all day messy shoot which included:

Cake bomb

Golden syrup

Double cream

Milk

Chocolate sauce

Paints

I do not know who is more mad...myself for having it on me or Andy for letting us do this at his studio...

FUN FUN FUN or what!

Thank you for helping make this day amazing...

Fareham studios was suggested to me by Mia UK who I had planned a shoot with. As usual I arrived early Andy the owner was already there to show me around, it's a two storey studio with natural light upstairs I should say it fantastic natural light upstairs, with lots of sets already pre built but everything is movable and Andy said I could shift anything I needed to

Andy is a very good instructor and is highly thought of the only thing I can say about the studio is I wish it was closer to me as I am from the Midlands I would highly recommend this studio to beginner's hobbyists and professionals.

But i will be doing the 150 miles one way just to use Fareham Studios again

This was my first time shooting at the Fareham Studio. The pre-planning and booking went without a hitch and communications were excellent, On arrival I was given a warm and friendly welcome. The studio manager gave me a comprehensive walk around and introduction to the studio and the studio facilities and good instruction on the technical aspects of the studio equipment. The studio is very well organised clean and tidy and provides a very professional, comfortable and safe working environment for both the photographer and model.

During the shoots, assistance and instruction with technical aspects and the various sets was provided when requested, otherwise I was left alone to get on with the shoot.

The studio manager is obviously a very experienced and competent instructor.

The facilities include a number of pre-set scenarios that can be changed and modified if requested. Very extensive lighting equipment consisting of numerous monoblock flash heads, stands and modifiers all stored and arranged in good order , clearly visible and accessible.

I had a great time shooting at the Fareham Studio and will certainly be using it again. I'd highly recommended this clean, warm and comfortable environment for both beginner hobbyists through to experienced professionals.

Thank you Fareham Studio for a great day!

Had another shoot at the excellent Fareham Studio Today.

Yet again Andy excelled (with little prior information) in producing a set/ lighting to change ideas into great images.

I would never hesitate in recommending Fareham Studio. I learn something new every time I go there.

Ken Dick

Had two very successful shoots at Fareham Studio on the 20th and 21st of February. The range of sets and equipment gives great creative scope. The level and quality of the natural light upstairs is incredible and was used for most of my work. The help and conversation with Andy before both shoots was great and made the experience friendly and professional.

Loving Fareham's new upstairs corner set! I saw it for the first time today now the Xmas set has gone. Deep blue and green with cream, photo frames and flowers which made a pretty lingerie/nude backdrop but would really suit floaty dresses and draped fabrics too.

I am very fortunate that this studio is not just closest to me but is also the best in the South.

I had the great pleasure of working here with the lovely Victoriah yesterday at very short notice after she unexpectedly became free.

Andy as always was amazing and just made it happen. He is also a master of light and always willing to advise or mentor as required. Even though I have over 20 years experience I always learn something new when I visit.

The studio is very well appointed with everything a photographer or model requires and you are always given a friendly, warm welcome and offer of hot drinks.

I can unreservedly highly recommend Fareham Studio to all photographers, models and creatives.

Louise Love

Had a number of shoots at fareham studio and they're always great!

Fareham has so many props, backgrounds and accessories. Andy makes you feel comfortable straight away always offering drinks and a helping hand throughout the shoot.

I always look foward to shooting at Fareham as theyre always such fantastic shoots.

Thankyou so much for having me! :D 100% recommend

Another great time at Fareham with Andy,a 2 day shoot for myself and some friends with Amelialily and as always the studio was excellent.Thank you Andy as always for your assistance,always a pleasure

Dave Bourne

I've had two shoots very close together at Fareham studio and only shot in the downstairs area but having Andy on hand with suggestions on lighting setups was great and allowed the shoot to run smoothly.

Kindheart

Had a great shoot with @Zoe Arabella.

After the customary legendary Andy Cup of tea, he guided us experimenting with the Gobo's.

Got some great shots which I can't take credit for as the credit lies with the model and the assistant.

Thank you Andy. Looking forward to returning in 2 weeks time.

Brian - p4pictures

A return to Fareham for a shoot with a local model.

Studio is clean and tidy with gear that works. Plenty of sets, but also enough freedom to move chairs & props around as needed.

Then there's the tea, good strong and as much as you need.

Highly recommended
