What can I say about this place? Brilliantly equipped with just about anything you will ever need for almost all types of photoshoot. Mark is always on hand to set everything up to your needs, and will help and advise as much or as little as you need, without getting in the way. Thanks Mark, hope to come back again soon. Definitely recommend to anyone.

I always enjoy working at Wyre Forest Studio, great facilities and Mark can’t do enough to make your shoot exactly what you want it to be. I also enjoy working with Lily May a model that always puts her heart and soul into her work. Lastly, Layla Lee is a model that I have, for a long time wanted to work with.

When the opportunity to combine all three came along I could hardly refuse, and I’m so glad I didn’t. The results of two great models in a terrific studio can’t be exaggerated, simply fantastic.

I just feel sorry for all you togs that didn’t get the chance. Hopefully there will be a next time. Layla, Lily and Mark, thank you all so much.

What a studio. Where do I even start with this one!? Far Froest Dtudio is amazing set on beautiful grounds in a magical location. I can't wait to get back there in the summer when the weather warms up and we can make the most of the beautiful outdoors!

Mark is a joy to be with. He made me feel so comfortable throughout and couldnt have been more accomodating if he tried!

Highly recommended to bith models and photographers wanting a safe, relaxed and welcoming setting that is full of endless opprtunities. I can't wait to return in the near future. :) X

A shoot at Far Forest on the 29th Jan, with Ala-Maya, once again a first rate experience! Mark is so welcoming and knowledgeable, firstly helping me get acquainted with my latest Camera! then getting things set up for me, so good to shoot there! 3 shoots now and I really hope there will be many more!

I shot at Far Forest in January with Albion Rob. I hadn't heard of the studio before, but it was a pleasant surprise when I visited. It's set in a scenic area that offers privacy to models when shooting outdoors which often isn't an option when shooting. With beautiful woodlands, a waterfall, hot tub and pond .. there's numerous ideas you could try out. The studio space itself is great, with every colour backdrop gig could want. A variety of props are on offer too which a lot of studios these days don't think of. Models have a private bathroom with shower to use for changing. And ample cups of tea.

The only drawback for me is that it's not close enough for me to use on a note regular basis. But I plan on shooting there when it's warmer and making use of it's stunning outdoor location

I had my very first shoot at Far Forest Studio yesterday with model LottiiRose and fell in love with the place even before I pressed the shutter button. What an amazingly place! Not only is the studio well equipped, but Mark was on hand to advise on lighting and everything photography and was very professional, just what I needed. He made me feel welcomed and relaxed by his cool nature, as well as being able to make lovely cups of tea.

I was bowled over by the beautiful woodland area around the studio, and although I visited at night, I can well image how fantastic it would be to shoot outdoors during the day, and coming spring and summer months. I can’t wait to let my creative ideas loose on the thematic sets, and the natural surrounds of the forest will no doubt offer me an idyllic location to let my creativity run wild. I will certainly be returning to Far Forest Studio many more times, which means, Mark will need to stock up on tea. Thank you Mark for a wonderful experience!

Just back from my shoot with Graham at Far Forest Studio. The best studio I have worked in! Plenty of opportunity, so much so that we didn't even use the studio, just the grounds. As a model, the facilities are great especially the warm changing room and shower. There are slippers and bath robes as well as a kitchenette where Mark was on hand to make us drinks during our breaks. Thank you again, hope to come back in the spring and summer. Kat.

Very professionally run studio. I am a fan of using the great outdoors for my imaging. The bonus with this studio is that it is set in secluded woodland which suits my style. I can be creative and Kat could relax and give it her all. Apart from the "thorn up my bum" which was hilarious, (rather than a complaint) and will know doubt be referred to on future shoots with Kat.

The facilities are superb, warm(essential at this time of year for the models)changing and washing facilities and a supply of hot drinks.

Will definitely be using throughout the year especially the water fall.

I had my first shoot at the Far Forest Studio yesterday and it was fab! Mark made me most welcome, gave expert advice and made copious quantities of tea and coffee. Mark provided invaluable guidance and assistance, covering all aspects from camera settings, choice of backdrops, to lighting arrangements and settings. A well thought out studio from its construction, insulation ( meaning that it is lovely and warm), to equipment. A real gem of a place. Thank you Mark.

Goodness me! Far Forest Studio is actually the studio closest to my house, but this was my first visit and I'm so happy to have found it. Mark is the absolute perfect host, and his studio is utterly top-notch. Great equipment, scrupulously clean, high ceilings, fantastic outdoor spaces - this place has so much to offer, and Mark is lovely.

I had my first shoot at Far Forest Studio today having taken advantage of visiting the studio earlier this week to have a look around. It is excellent purpose built facility, well equiped and with plenty of height. Mark was an excellent host and showed me how to make best use of facility. Todays shoot was indoors, which was just as well given the inclement weather. I am looking forward to being able to take advantage of numerous and impressive outdoor sets later in the year. I had a very relaxed three hour shoot with the impressive Ala-maya; who is local to the studio. I certainly had a very enjoyable relaxed time. Thank you.

I had my first photo shoot at Far Forest studios last week and have to say it was an amazing place to work.

I was welcomed nicely it was warm and a lovely environment. The grounds surrounding it are beautiful and it is excellent for location work .

I was also given some very strong tips on modelling which will help me in the future xx

I had my first shoot at Far Forest over the weekend and I must say it is a truly beautiful location. There are so many options although unfortunately I didn't have time to explore them all!

Mark and his wife were very welcoming (thanks again for those amazing mince pies!) and friendly. There was everything I could have possibly needed at a studio - fantastic facilities!

As a photographer I have had some wonderful photos back so far and I am really looking forward to seeing the rest.

I could go on about how great this place is but I'll just say go visit for yourself! Thanks again Mark and I hope we end up working together again very soon!

I had a great shoot here today at Far Forest Studios. Mark was a superb host, advisor and mentor. A man of great talent also a complete gent. I will be shooting at Far Forest again. The studio is superbly equipped.

It's also situated in a superb setting. Unfortunately due to the weather I was not able to take advantage of the outdoor element Though thanks to Mark's kind invite to check out the venues facilities a few weeks before my shoot I was able to see the whole potential which is immense. All this for a bargain price.

If you love your photography give this place a go.

Thanks again Mark for a great shoot.

A second shoot here on the 27th Nov, another thoroughly enjoyable visit, Mark and Lynne along with Jolene (our lovely Model) were terrific, Mark is so helpful and patient, Lynne with her ideas for the styles we used (we had to deal with a late change of plans) great place to visit and shoot, I would venture to suggest an ideal place for an inexperienced photographer to visit as well, Chris.

Had my first studio shoot with Albion Rob on Saturday at the wonderfull Far Forest Studio.

Mark was incredibly freindly, welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. Upon arriving he made us a beautiful cup of tea and showed me around the different sets he and his wife had made. It was really impressive and I admire his passion for his art! He was an excellent proprietor/host and I can't wait to work on futher projects/shoot with Mark or just being at the studio in general.

Couldn't recommended them any higher and hope for many more wonderful trips to Far Forest Studio.

I did a shoot on Nov 5th, everything about the afternoon there was first rate, Mark did everything to ensure it was a success, so efficient and helpful, didn't get to explore the grounds,so very much hoping to arrange another shoot before too long Chris Reeves.

Had a photo shoot at Far Forest studio with model Rosie Lea. What a super place. A well designed studio with central heating ! and plenty of lights etc. Then the outside grounds with forest, pond, etc are great. Mark is really helpful and full of good ideas. We used his graveyard area, and with off-camera flash ( thanks to Mark for his help) we got some amazing images. A great location for a photo shoot. Highly recommended.

Miss Rosie Lea

I was booked for a shoot at Far Forest Studio for the second time yesterday.

As always Mark was lovely and great company. Nothing is too much trouble for him and photographers who hire the studio are sure of a warm welcome and an accommodating host.

The studio itself is beautiful, varied and constantly expanding. I used areas of the outside space that I missed last time and it was all so lovely, especially with the abundance of autumn leaves.

I'd recommend the studio to everyone, photographers and models alike as it holds so much potential whatever your style.

Thanks for another lovely shoot Mark, and I'll see you soon :D
