Awesome studio!

I had my first shoot at Far Forest this weekend and what a great little place!

The studio was kitted out and had so many costumes and props!

Never got the chance to shoot in the waterfall but it has it's own waterfall! How cool!

Lynne, Marks wife was there to help and it was a real pleasure meeting her, she has a great eye for detail and nothing was to much trouble.

I hope I get to shoot here again one day and I very highly recommend it to all!

I booked the studio for a shoot with Miss Rosie Lea and was very impressed. Mark was welcoming and supportive throughout the shoot. All equipment was in good condition and early accessible. The ability to shoot both indoors and in the extensive outdoor areas is a real plus. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I had my first shoot today at Far Forest - finally! Mark was really friendly and welcomming, offering me tea and refreshments on arrival. His indoor studio space is spacious and well equipped, and I really appreciated the separate model's dressing room and the use of robe/slippers as I always forget mine!

The outside space is also fantastic, with sprawling woodlands, garden area, fish pond and lots more! It's a shame I didn't have more time to shoot there today to make the most of the setups, but I'm sure I will be returning very soon!

Mark was very helpful and respecful, and always on hand if we needed anything. I would certainly recommend his studio to both photographers and models alike - thanks for having me! :)

Cant remember how many shoots I've had at this great venue ! Had half a day working with Georgia Harding and MUAH artist Claire Harmer to create some forest shots and studio shots. It is always a pleasure to work here with Mark always on hand to help with whatever is needed - and of course makes a great cuppa ! The fact that you can shoot in the private forest or in the studio helps with any weather issues. Fortunately the weather was kind and we covered what was required. Cant recommend this studio highly enough and of course I'll be back !

I was welcomed into Far Forest Studio for a half day shoot along with ‘Trebor images (photographer) and Claire Harmer (mua)’ and what an amazing studio it is! It is beautifully located and is definitely a safe, enjoyable place to shoot.

With different areas to explore outside, as well as the inside studio (with a lovely dressing area too) you definitely have a lot of options as to where you’re going to create amazingly imagery.

You’re welcomed into the studio with open arms and it is such a lovely place to work. I hope to be shooting there again soon!

10/10 would definitely recommend, thank you for having me.

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve shot at Far Forest - today I had another studio day there and as always Mark was on hand to look after me and the photographers.

You get so much for your money with Far Forest as it’s a brilliant indoor space and also has a picturesque private woodland around the studio! Mark is a lighting expert and very good at making tea too!

You get a friendly welcome here, looked after very well and get spot on guidance with your lighting set up.

It’s no secret that it’s my favourite studio to shoot at because of all these things, and I really like the way Mark runs things.

Very highly recommended indeed!!

Thank you Mark for another very enjoyable day at Far Forest and I look forward to coming back soon xx

Shot at Far Forest as part of a Rogue Model Management shoot day. The grounds are beautiful, there was a nice little area to adjust outfits and makeup. Everyone had an amazing day and the images from the shoot are ready looking amazing ! Looking forward to shooting here again in the future!

What can I say other than WOW! When I arrived I was speechless! what a beautiful studio!!! There are so many versatile areas to shoot from! It is so lovely, I want to live there!!!

If you enjoy nature, trees, forests, lakes etc you will adore it! I was in my element!

Mark was so accommodating and friendly and made brilliant cups of tea and there were even biscuits and sweets!!!

All I can say is if you haven't been- you're missing out!!! Book it!

I can't wait to go back

Having spent a wonderful afternoon at Far Forest, shooting with Retro Rob and Melany, I have to say, I can’t wait to go back. I didn’t realise what Mark has going there, it’s fantastic. A quick tour of the grounds and the sets, showed just how much thought and hard work Mark has put in at the studio. It’s cetainly sparked a few ideas for future reference.

Greeted by a warm welcome from Mark, it set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. On hand to help set up, and passing tips along the way, he made me feel comfortable from the start. Feeling at ease in unfamiliar surroundings help so much, it allows the creative juices to flow. Had a cracking afternoon with Mark, Rob and Mel, thanks guys. And a special thank you to Mark for his help later in the evening, much appreciated. If you are looking for recommendations for studios, this is definitely one for the list. Just go there!

Wow!

what a beautiful, versatile studio! I came and worked at far forest for the first time a few days back with another photographer. The space is to die for. The forest surrounds the studio cabin, endless areas where you can shoot from and regular cups of tea! The host was lovely, welcoming and professional too!

what more could you want? Cant wait to come back!

As always Mark was a great host and very helpful. I've always had a soft spot for this studio and I always enjoy my time there.

Mark always makes time to make you feel welcome and he goes the extra mile to help you achieve your goals.

I recommend this studio very highly to all photographers and models out there !

I had a shoot yesterday at far forest and was totally stunned. Beautiful set up indoors and out, fully equipped with everything that myself and the photographer needed to have an excellent shoot. Mark was great, around at all times making sure that everything was running smoothly and he makes a great cup of coffee! I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering it 😊

First shoot at Far Forest today, a group shoot working with Miss Rosie Lea and Jezebelle as a duo.

Due to the inclement weather (pi$$ing down) we worked solely indoors. The studio is warm, clean and well equipped, and Mark is very welcoming and helpful (I would expect no less from a fellow ex-corpsman :-) )

The shoot was very relaxed with a number of costume changes and I’m looking forward to editing the images.

I have no hesitation in recommending the studio to photographers and models alike :-)

Thanks Mark, till next time (Y)

Had another enjoyable shoot at this wonderful studio - this time a Pre-Raphaelite style event with Jezebelle and Miss Rosie Lea. Unfortunately the weather was awful, meaning that we had to stay inside, but thanks to the technical skills of Mark and the excellence of the two models I was able to emerge with some lovely images. A studio that I would recommend wholeheartedly to all!

Jann Wassell

Attended a group shoot at Far Forest Studio with Rosie, a Stevie Nicks theme! First time I had visited the studio but hopefully it won't be my last. Very well organised , thank you for looking after us all so well. Jann :)

What can I possibly say?! One of the best studio experiences I have ever had. I booked Far Forest for a fairytale and fantasy themed event and right from the start I was made welcome, shown around and I found that everything I could possibly want was right there!

The studio itself is a good size and very well equipped (and WARM!) and the grounds have so much potential for many different kinds of shoots.

Wonderful hosting- I was kept VERY well fed and supplied with coffee and as a huge wildlife nerd, being surrounded by nature with equally nature-loving hosts was fantastic.

I'm already planning my next event and I will definitely be back. Thankyou for everything!

Jezebelle

I got to work at this studio and absolutely loved it!

A wonderful host, stunning outdoor locations and outdoor sets, the most amazing prop collection, the best lights and the means to do both studio and location, makes this one of the best studios in this part of England ♥

Can't wait to come back in October!
