Festival studio booked me for a fitness workshop shoot today, i was very impressed with the studio set up and the large dressing room, they all made me feel very welcome and at ease. Thank you to Paul who helped me and gave me advise on angles and the best arm positions.

Would definitely recommend them and i hope to shoot with them again soon :)

Thank you for a wicked day!

I hired this studio for a shoot and I was highly impressed, It is well equipped and the layout and shooting areas are amazing. The dressing area for models is one of the best I have seen and they were incredibly accommodating.

Will defiantly be using this studio again.

I have attended a number of events at Festival Studios over the last few months and they fave all been well organised and enjoyable. Although I am an experienced photographer I have managed to learn something new each time I have gone along.

The team at Festival are friendly, helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed with a lot of friendly banter. The studio itself is very versatile and can cater for almost any type of style and I have gotsome great images from the shoots.

I will be going again.

I attended a Contemporary and Ballet Dance Workshop with model Charlotte Rintoul. It is a while since I shot at Festival (for no particular reason) and as ever a great time was had by all. The studio facilities are great and the lighting set ups were perfect for the different sets we shot. Plenty of guidance and support as well as ample refreshments throughout the workshop. The other photographers were good and we enjoyed plenty of good banter when we were not shooting. I do not know of any other studio that is as big as Festival and when you are shooting size really is everything. Thank you once again for a fabulous event.

This week end was my first session at Festival Studious - I attended the dance event with Charlotte Rintoul. It was great fun, really well organised; I got some great images and learnt a lot from Chris, the other photographers and, of course, Charlotte! I am sure I will be going again.

Charlotte Rintoul

Firstly, I want to thank Chris Sharp and staff at Festival Studio in Canvey island for a fantastic 2 day shoot. They were extremely professional and treated me extremely well with luxury accommodation and food plus I worked with some fabulously talented photographers that took the most incredible photos.

Studio facilities were fantastic with models own dressing with heating, 3 big studio areas with different backgrounds and a waiting area for people to talk and enjoy whilst waiting. I would really highly recommend them to work with because of the quality of pictures, for best service, for professional and well kept facilities but mainly due to their excellent customer care! Thank you so much again, I cannot wait to come back in the new year.

I was in Festival Studio with Chris and his college some weeks ago. It was amazing, first of all, because the place is so professional, with 3 big rooms with all the equipment necessary to do a great shooting. Daniel was lovely in all moment, making me feel so comfortable and welcoming. We shoot in two of the tree rooms, and the photos are simply great! I really loved work with them, and soon I'll be back in Festival Studios for a full day shooting. I can't wait for this! I highly recommend this place and the photographers who works there.

I had a great shoot at Festival yesterday. Chris really helped me out with the booking at relatively short notice. Pre comms were spot on.

On the day I had the pleasure of meeting Paul and Emily. My expectation was I would be shown around at the start and I may have been able to ask the odd question. Whilst this would have been possible, as somebody still learning in the studio environment I asked if the guys could help me out and show me some techniques and lighting styles and they delivered that and so much more. We worked together throughout the shoot talking about lots of creative ideas and how to light them. I learnt so much and more than I could have hoped for just using trial and error myself. I'm so grateful to both Paul and Emily for all their help and support yesterday.

A warm welcome awaits at this fantastic studio with lots of different scenes and backdrops. The white infinity curve is amazing and the lighting equipment available to use is also spot on.

Will I be back at Festival? 100%. Fully recommend this studio to any model or photographer.

I worked at Festival Studio for the first time yesterday. It was a well arranged group shoot. I felt comfortable and happy at all times and the team really looked after me.

It is a well equipped studio and I'd be happy to work there again!

I had a shoot at the Festival Studio this morning and couldn't have enjoyed the shoot more. Chris and all his team couldn't have done more to ensure that the shoot went successfully and were constantly on hand to help either setting up different scenarios, giving advice when asked or solving problems. They are extremely welcoming and I would recommend the studio to any photographer who is looking for excellent facilities both for the photographer and model. Thank you Chris and the team for helping make this morning both enjoyable and very successful. I hope I have the chance to shoot there again before too long.

Had a great workshop at Festival featuring Aida a lovely ballet dancer that I assume is not on PP. Great setup there and Chris and Shirley were extremely helpful and welcoming. Will certainly come again when I get the opportunity.

Had a ballet workshop with Festival Studio. Everyone there was lovely and took good care of me, stopping for breaks, made sure I had food and drink. It was hard work, as pointe work is for 6 hours but I had a good time and would recommend working with them! They even had the nicest dressingroom!

Had my first shoot at Festival Studios yesterday and it won't be the last! I needed a venue big enough to create some promotional images for posters and flyers, involving a huge diamond studded stiletto shoe and a Marilyn Monroe performer.

Paul at the Studio was fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Very enthusiastic and knowledgable and full of advice. The studio itself is plenty large enough for most of your needs, and there are lots of different zones to shoot in, from an Infinity Cove, to boudoir (bedroom), 1950's Diner, portrait zones, backdrops and props galore! Fantastic :)

Chris got in touch with me to do an art nude group shoot, as he had a model drop out.

I'm so glad I took the opportunity, as all of them at festival studio were so lovely and welcoming!

They were also kind enough to collect me from a fairly local train station and drop me back - even though they are based in Essex.

I had really an absolutely fantastic time at the studio. There is an outstanding changing room/make up area which is beautifully decorated. And lots of different rooms with various sets.

I would highly recommend festival studio and Chris, really lovely bunch of people!

I have been using this studio since it opened an can not fault it. There is a very nice seating area for photographers to sit and chat and drink the endless supply of tea and coffee. The models have a very private, well equipped and spacious changing area. There are many props available to use.

The staff are very knowledgable and willing to help with advice and setting lighting etc.

Group shoots are held regularly and are well organised and very often follow a theme.

Overall a very well equipped studio offering good value for money. Highly recommended for both advanced workers and the studio novice.

Had a shoot at Festival Studios on Wednesday 24th August and it was incredible. Fantastic rooms with different set for shoots, very welcoming reception/ office area and an AMAZING dressing room with everything you could possibly need to use there. Well kitted out with outfits, shoes and accessories. Great decor. Very very professional. 10/10. Highly recommend.
