My second shoot at Far Forest Studio, and already discussing the possibilities for the next one.

This recent event was exceptional, the weather was stunning but not as stunning as compared to Ana who I was shooting with on the day, a creative, beautiful, talented woman.

This studio is set in a beautiful area, and many locations to create brilliant captures, the facilities of the outdoor space are also complimented by the professional studio available with numerous forms of lighting, wardrobe and props.

The ambiance and mood are set by the hosts, Mark & his family provide a personal touch and make you feel welcome instantly with a welcoming brew on hand too, but Mark has immense knowledge so his advice and expertise are on hand which is a huge bonus.

If you have not shot at this gem of a Studio … YOU NEED TO!!!, Contact Mark and get your shoot booked, until next time and implicitly recommended, GOMEZ Photographer.

FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!....Why Have I Not Been To This Studio Before???

Gorgeous setting, no bother by anyone, unlimited tea (I even got a crumpet with cheese) :D the studio was warm and comfortable, no problem about low ceilings so it's perfect for us tallies, organising the studio day with you was easy, you are friendly and so funny.

I'm delighted to be back in a few weeks :D

Highly Recommended To All xX

Had my first shoot at Far Forest recently and what an amazing place! Secluded gardens, woodland areas and a waterfall you can turn on and off with a tap, what more could you ask for?

Mark is also a wonderful host and made me feel very welcome during my visit, not to mention a mean cuppa :)

Hope to be back soon, highly recommended!!

Had a sell out studio day at Far Forest.

What a superb location, unfortunately for me the weather was awful so had to spend half the day indoors, which was fine as studio is spacious and very clean, however its a shame to go to a place like this and not be able to use the outdoor locations.

The rain stopped towards late afternoon so i did manage to get outside, even braved the waterfall.

Fab day overall and Mark was a great host.

Thanks for a great day

I was at Far Forest today for SimoneH studio day. What a wonderful studio, lots of backdrops and lights to use within the studio and obviously you have the incredible outdoor set ups. Mark is a fantastic host and nothing was to much trouble. With the weather being itself we spent the first part of the shoot inside and Mark was on hand with lighting help. Luckily the weather cleared up so the final hour of the shoot we went outside and spent sometime amongst the woodland. Such a diverse studio location it caters for everyone. Thank you, Steve

Far Forest is a magical tardis of a place! It’s certainly not on a beaten track, but it’s not too hard to find if you set your mind to it.

The studio itself; huge, must be 30 or more ft long, and high! You can quite happily shoot full length longer than 70mm. Well equipped, too.

Outside, there’s half of Worcestershire. Well a good chunk of it anyway. Lots of forestry, views over rolling hills, pond and hut, and the UK’s only purpose-built waterfall!

There’s also lots of wildlife curated by Mark; we saw some deer and the moorhens on the pond!

Mark’s a smashing host as well. He provides great hospitality – brews permanently on the go – and remains permanently in the background; always ready to help, never interferes.

Lovely place, lovely people. Unreservedly recommended!

I've worked at Far Forest Studio a couple of times with various photographers and had a wonderful time on each occasion. Primarily working outdoors (as was in the summer months), the landscape is stunning and it wouldn't be FFS without a mention of their stunning waterfall. Some of my favourite art nudes to date have been here. Mark was on hand throughout both shoots to ensure I was well watered and if the photographers needed any assistance. I didn't have the opportunity to use the wardrobe but the possibilities seemed endless! Fab studio and I can't wait to come back :) Ivy xx

I worked at Far forest a couple of weeks back for the first time and I was so impressed with the studio and surrounding.

I was booked at the studio with my model friend Nicky Phillips by Photographer Martin.

It was such a lovely day, Mark is a super host and made me feel very welcome straight away. The studio is perfect with high ceiling, lots of space, equipment and backdrops. There is a kitchen, fantastic dressing room with everything a model needs plus a shower.

The studio is surrounded by the most beautiful forest location which is perfect for location shoots, quiet and not overlooked. We shot outside on our shoot as the weather was amazing but if it was raining you can go inside to the studio so you have the best of both worlds.

Can't fault this studio and I am looking forward to going back at the end of August.

Highly recommended.

another great shoot at Far Forest Studio. Mark was a great host and super helpful as assistant, as ever. As well as running around with smoke grenades like a loon, he managed to demonstrate how to relax in the hot tub at an olympic standard !!

This is a great location and I highly recommend it to photographer and model alike.

Had my first visit to Far Forest on Tuesday and I took my good friend Jess

We were blown away with the page descriptions of the facilities but when we saw them in the flesh the only word possible is wow

We had a plan that we wanted to follow and this was perfectly possible and much much more.

The whole experience was perfect, a perfect host - there when needed but not constantly over my shoulder, great advice and conversation. I enjoy listening to others life stories and this was no different with great experiences shared

Would I shout here again - HELL YES!!!

So highly recommended

Thank you thank you

My first shoot at Far Forest on Saturday, I will definitely go back there again. There's an excellent indoor studio, very well equipped with a model changing room, make up area and a kitchen. We did our shoot outside, a fabulous woodland area with lots of different sets to use, even a tame waterfall. So many possibilities.

Mark was an excellent host, making us all tea when we arrived and again when we stopped for a break. He gave us a tour of the locations and was on hand to help if needed.

A unique and excellent studio. Highly recommended.

You know when you have hit gold.

After a protracted battle with the weather and several rearrangements Far Forest Studio fitted in with the odd timings of shoots with two models in succession.

Mark was there to navigate me in through the lane complex, tea on arrival and instructions on how to beat the traffic when picking up the second model. These were a bonus to the wondrous outdoor studio with a plethora of sets and locations within its boundaries.

Helpful wasn't in it; nothing was to much trouble for Mark, who took time to get to know me and the models, making us feel very much at home, and providing an endless stream of tea.

Having such an excellent location as the Far Forest Studios outdoor studio available to hire, I will be booking shoots there again.

My second visit at Far Forest Studio was fantastic! I had reccomended the studio to a Photographer after working at the studio once previously and becoming overwhelmed with the location and how much is provided to us, the location is beautiful beyond words, was kindly offered a warm beverage after having a fun time in the Waterfall! I will quite happily become a regular visitor to this fantastic studio and would reccomend to all models and photographers! :D xx

Had a fabulous first shoot at Far Forest Studio with Shutterman. I arrived before the photographer and Mark kept me company until he arrived with a good cuppa and conversation. The location is absolutely amazing and I had the pleasure of playing in their waterfall. Mark was on hand throughout the day to help with lighting or to bounce ideas of. What more can you ask for?! Would love to shoot here again - 6 hours just wasn't long enough! Ivy xx
