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.

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.

"Wow"...It feels like that's all I'd need to say about Far Forest Studio but maybe let me explain. From the moment I phoned Mark to ask for directions to the moment I left, he was a fantastic host. He made me feel so welcome and assisted during the shoot with things like switching equipment and moving sets over. The studio itself is a photographer's dream. With so much equipment to choose from it was easy to work through the morning without any glitches or delays whatsoever. I shot there with Lottii Rose and Layla Leigh and both looked and felt so comfortable around the studio. Would love to shoot here again and next time use the outdoors aswell which are amazing by the way. "Wow".

I worked at far forest studio for the first time over the weekend. I did two studio days with Lottiirose and Far forest studio was the perfect studio for the 2 days. I love how beautiful it is outside as well as having everything you need in the inside. Mark was brilliant throughout the weekend. Would love to return sometime soon! Highly recommended and see you soon! :)

Had a brill time shooting at Far Forest Studio, it has great facilities including a spotless changing room with shower, there is also a room next door full of outfits/jewellery/props too!! Upon entering the studio you are asked to remove footwear and offered a pair of slippers if necessary due to a new floor which I respected at all times, even being very cautious when wearing my heels on set, a dressing gown is also provided for levels of lingerie, topless etc. Me and the other model only got to use the indoor studio but will have to go back to use the stunning locations surrounding the studio which includes a large forest and wonderful wildlife/nature scenery.

One of the best studios I have ever been too location wise, Mark you have certainly got a beautiful little set up there!! I highly recommend other photographers/models to book and use this very pretty studio and its surroundings, also refreshments are available and always offered too :D

Thanks,

What a truly EPIC studio!!

The outdoor locations here are to die for, I adored working outside in them. Mark was kind enough to come around outside with us showing us where was available and suggesting locations that he knew looked good! On top of that he was kind enough to be my own little personal assistant off camera with my coat and shoes which was really handy as meant I could get warm quickly once a set was done with him bringing them back to me. I mean truly a epic service and having modelled 6 years it's not something studio owners do typically!

He really cared about making sure we got the best from the shoot and it made all the difference.

To top it all off he has an amazingly warm studio, I wasn't cold once in doors and it really helped with the weather outside :)

Top marks from me and can't wait to get back there on my next trip to the area :D

Highly recommended!

I used Far Forest Studio for the first time this week and was amazed at what I found. The studio is set in some stunning grounds and if you are not distracted by the wildlife (deer, peacocks, jays, woodpeckers, ducks, wrens - you get the drift) then its an ideal place to shoot a model. But it gets even better, the well equipped studio has absolutely everything you will need. There are plenty of lights and different modifiers, lots of backdrops and best of all its fully air conditioned. Mike is on hand and is only too willing to help. I have to say that with copious cups of tea and Chocolate biscuits I could have stayed all day (oh yes I remember - I did). Highly recommended and I will be returning. Thanks Mike.
