Had an excellent time at far forest studio run by the lovely mark and lyn :) they thoroughly looked after me, ensuring I was well fed and teaed, are both hilariously funny people and generally wonderful.

The studio itself was magical- it had a outdoor area which contained a multitude of different areas, including a sauna, waterfall and woodland parts. Each different part has something beautifully unique about it.

The studio itself was fantastic, with loads of lights and modifiers, tonnes of interesting props and clothes.

Mark helps photographers out when needed and will really go the extra mile to ensure the shots are of a top quality.

The studio was honestly one of the best ive ever worked in in terms of versatility and wow factor.

Absolutely 100% recommended by me and I would love to have the honour of working there again

It was my first ever visit to Far Forest Studio.

And ....... it was an really excellent experience !!

Mark, ever helpful and gracious host, has an excellent studio.

The studio is set in woodland which provides many opportunities for shoots.

I arrived with Claire Topaz, and I got to throw her in their newest feature, a waterfall !

The waterfall has just been completed, and it is a superb feature. It lends itself to tropical looking shots. I predict it will become very popular and be the talk of the studio world.

It will only become better as it ages.

I predict there will be many happy shoots in the future, and indeed many envious studios up and down the country !

I can highly recommend this venue to all models and photographers !!

Today I had immense pleasure twice over! I shot Angel at Far Forest Studio. Both are totally professional, but friendly, helpful and strive to get the result you are after.

Angel is beautiful with a fantastic ability to know exactly what works and use that ability to translate what you require into the result you want.

Far Forest Studio is very new, modern and well equipped for both the photographer and model. But more than that, Mark the owner does everything possible to make your shoot what you want it to be and help you get the result you are after.

Do yourself a favour, work with both of them as soon as you can. I’ve already booked the studio for another shoot.

Thank you both, very very much.

Had a great afternoon at Far Forest Studio. Mark is a very friendly and helpful owner who makes a decent cup of tea too. The studio itself is very well equipped (I'm green with envy), very spacious and air conditioned.

However there are also exteriors, including woodlands, a tree swing, jacuzzi and much more. Would like to see the waterfall when it's ready.

All in all a great place and thoroughly recommended.

Had my first shoot here earlier today and was extremely impressed. The studio was pristine and came equipped with everything you could need. The changing facilities were great and Mark kept us topped up on coffee and biscuits throughout the shoot.

As well as the indoor studio, the outdoor space was amazing and provided so many options for shooting.

Would really love to shoot here again!

I had my first shoot at the studio and was extremely impressed with what Mark has done. He was very welcoming and gave me a good view of the studio and grounds outside. A very relaxed atmosphere and had a great shoot with Claire. This is a studio well worth booking and I recommend it to both experienced and beginner photographers. I will be using again. Thanks Mark

I worked at Mark and Lynns beautiful studio during a recent tour to the area alongside photographer "Paulseds" who booked me for the shoot. I couldn't have asked for a nicer studio to work in and only wish I had been there all day!

Its facilities are excellent, in the middle of the forest (as the name suggests!) and the studio is very modern, clean and comfortable, with everything a photographer and model could possibly need. The makeup area is also a lovely space and we were looked after with plenty of refreshments. We didn't shoot outdoors but I really hope to be back and work on the new sets available when I do. The waterfall set sounds really exciting!

Highly recommended and hope to be back soon, Helen x

Another fantastic time at this fantastic studio

Mark as always warm and welcoming and very helpful with lighting

Never fails to have all that is required and the odd bit of advice which is always very much appreciated

Far Forest studio is a studio that has it all wonderful grounds when the weather is good and also a spacious studio when the weather isn't so good

Can't wait to see the water fall when it is finished and use it for a shoot

Already booked my next shoot with Mark and can't wait

Cheers Mark and Lynn great fun as usual very highly recommended with 20**:-)

I finally shot here with a lovely photographer earlier this week, and, oh my, I was impressed! I think to call Far Forest a studio is doing it a disservice... this place is amazing! there are literally so many different places to shoot you could spend all day there, cover a number of looks and styles, and probably still not use it to it's full potential. The photographer and myself concentrated on the studio and 'garden' settings and got some amazing shots. The studio in particular is extremely well-equipped with a variety of lighting and background options available.

Mark is a delight and is on hand throughout for any assistance needed... he was good enough to assist us with reflectors and cups of tea throughout. he's very friendly, easy to get along with, and his passion for his job is very clear. Mark is also extremely knowledgeable after years of experience in, well pretty much everything from what I gleaned (haha), and is happy to offer help and suggestions if wanted.

Just a note as well to say that the model facilities are excellent with a spacious changing room with toilet/shower facilities and lovely large mirrors (something I'm sure most models will agree is not always the case).

Thanks for having me Mark and I Iook forward to working at far Forest again in future :)

I booked Far Forest for the first time today & although not exactly on my doorstep :-) it was well worth the journey & I will definitely be going back again :-)

Mark had great pre-shoot comms, including detailed directions so even I could follow them! On arrival Mark was extremely welcoming & a great host for the day - always on hand to assist & great to chat with.

The outside locations are fabulous & the studio itself is very spacious, & well equipped, even with aircon! :-)

Thank you, Mark, for allowing us to shoot at your fantastic studio ..... and eat all your chocolate biscuiits! :-) I'm sure I will be booking with you to come other there again very soon!

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Worked at far forest studio today and what a beautiful place it is indeed . Vast amounts of space with breathtaking surroundings. Lots of photo opportunity. Both indoor and outdoor space. Indoor studio is spacious with separate spacious dressing room with toilet and shower facilities and lots of lighting equipment. Beautiful outdoor features.The host himself is such a welcoming and respectful person who gave us a guided tour of the indoor and outdoor space and offered hot beverages throughout. Very friendly , polite with creativity , definitely worth a visit :) thank you :)

Had my first shoot at Far Forest Studio Friday 8th July, what a fantastic place, spacious well equipped studio area with the addition of the garden and woodland for outdoor shoots. Mark and his wife were very inviting and Mark being on hand to help with lighting if needed.

If you need to book studio then I would thoroughly recommend it.

I will be back.....

Far Forest has a lot to offer: cracking studio space inside and woodland access outside. Opportunities any time of the year.

Mark and his wife are perfect hosts, it's easy to book, easy to find and easy to work there.

Thoroughly recommend hiring it- thanks again.

Another great day at Far forest studio! Lovely studio, very well equipt, beautiful outdoor space, unique features and a top tea maker! What more can you want! Hope it's not long until I go back again! Thank you!!!

I've got to say I absolutely loved shooting at Far Forest studio for the first time. I arrived early so it gave me time to find the studio as I had never been there before and it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but wow what a location!

Once I had got out the car and started walking down to the studio I was greeted by Mark with a lovely warm welcome. Mark showed me around the studio which I found immaculate and very accommodating.

While getting ready Mark made sure I was happy with everything and even made me several cups of tea and also offered me biscuits! (spoilt much?)

The location is a great place to for photographers to shoot and lots of different background to choose from. I think you might even see some deer if your lucky!

I would just like to say thank you so much for welcoming me into your studio I can't wait to come back!

I had a shoot at far forest studio last week and was amazed! The location is absolutely stunning and there's no many amazing places to shoot there!!

You have the studio to shoot in and also outside! Lots of different sets and very different from any other studio I have shot in before.

Very welcoming, drinks and snacks provided and if any help is needed all you have to do is ask :)

Thanks again and I'll be sure to pop up when it's all finished I'm so exited to see the new project!!

Had my second shoot with Mark at Far Forest today and I will be back. It is in a stunning location with woods and bracken around the studio that can be used to create wonderful backdrops. Mark and his wife are so helpful from the tea thrust in to my hand as soon as I arrived to helping out as an extra pair of hands for lights or reflectors in the woods to the lovely plate of sandwiches that arrived at the end of the shoot.

I am looking forward to working there again, I am sure the autumn colours will be wonderful later in the year. Thanks for everything Mark, much appreciated. Colin

Had my first shoot at Far Forest and what a wonderful place it is to work. Lots of scope to shoot in the studio and outdoors, the studio itself was very well equipped and maintained. Mark was the perfect host and always on hand when help was needed.

A beautiful and unique place to work and an absolute pleasure to be there - I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this studio to others.

My first and not last shoot at Far Forrest. Mark has done a great job creating a studio. Plenty of space, lights, props and coffee. Having previously owned a studio I know how much hard work goes into creating a studio space and it has paid off at Far Forrest.

Spent a great afternoon at Far Forest with Lottie and Layla on their studio day there. Mark was really helpful and was happy to hold the reflector for me as I worked outside in the great grounds the whole time. The grounds provide many different views and opportunities to shoot and Mark is building even more. The studio is well equiped and warm and has daylight from one side if required. A great space to creat great images.
