"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.

Had my first shoot with Claire Topaz at Far Forest Studio run my Mark. He has created a very good facility with both indoor studios and plenty of outdoor locations to use. He is still creating more outdoor sets so the place is going to get even better.

Mark was so friendly from the outset with kettle on ready for us when we arrived. He was extremely helpful and was on hand to work lights or act as a pair hand with reflector when needed. He also has both MUA and Hair Stylist available if required.

Can't wait for my next shoot there next month with LottiiRose.

Thanks for a tremendous day Mark, I have some great photos of Claire.

Best wishes Colin

I had my first fashion shoot at the amazing Far Forest Studio.

Mark & his wife were very welcoming when myself & my partner turned up.

Their studio is located in stunning countryside/forests & is like something out of a film!

The studio is well equipped with a changing room, shower room, kitchenette, prop/dress room & a main area where you shoot, with plenty of backdrops & lighting equipment.

I was very impressed with the layout of the studio & you can see how much hard work & passion has been put in to making it very special.

Thanks again for having me, I am looking forward to returning (hopefully very soon!) :)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Cheers,

This studio is a labour of love built by Mark & Lyn.

A warm welcome awaits, the studio is well equipped with lots of lighting and props. Mark is available to help if necessary or step back & leave you to it.

The setting is stunning and I can't wait to go back to use the variety of outdoor backdrops that exist and that Mark is developing further. You certainly won't regret it if you choose to book this exciting studio.

My second shoot at Far forest. Indoor only as we had all four seasons weather in the time we were there!

Mark was very helpful, guiding me through studio lighting set ups for portraits, as that is where I lack the experience. Tea, chocolate biscuits & good conversation on tap as well. I cannot wait to get outside into the amazing outdoor area if the weather ever improves.

Far forest is not my nearest studio but it the best by a long way. To paraphrase Arnie "I'll be back"

This studio is amazing. Mark is a really friendly and relaxed guy and a super helpful and professional photographer. Made me feel completely at ease for my very first shoot.
