Another great shoot at Fine and DanDee. Dee is a great host, always ready to set up equipment or tie up the model. The studio has some great sets and a vast variety of props. Highly recommended.

Wow what an amazing studio! :) did my studio day here today and had an absolute blast! Dee is such a lovely host! Really friendly, accommodating, professional, considerate and has a great sense of humour! She picked me up from my hotel to the studio and gave me a lift back to the train station afterwards :) she bought me a sandwich for lunch how lovely! Definitely recommended to all models and photographers!!! Very helpful around the studio!! :) thank you Louisa

I was lucky enough to shoot here literally hours before the tier 4 restrictions were implemented.

I got a little lost on my way, but Dee came to meet me and show me the way to the studio when I arrived. She was super accommodating, offering water etc and the studio itself is really great. There are 3 different room options, from a classic 'studio' space, to bedroom with different walls and corners to shoot against and of course the dungeon which is really cool.

Dee was also very clear on all of the methods that she uses in the studio to sanitise and ensure everything is clean after each use which I was very impressed with.

I would definitely recommend this studio to use when it is possible to again and would not hesitate to come back myself. :)

I am here ALOT...yep...because any photographer asking me what studio I recommend I always say this one...This is because Dee is always so warm, chatty and easy to be around...Not just this...the studio is awesome with 4 different sets, loads of props and warm...

One really good thing about this studio at the moment is that Dee has a machine that deep cleans the place, so you wont get the virus from this studio! So if you are a photographer that worries, then this is probably the best studio to go to!

Th studio is spacious , well equipped , VERY clean (spotless) and with a very warm positive atmospher.

Dee is very helpful with everything you might need , from assisting with lights and changing backdrops to providing you with cups of tea :)

Very highly recommended to all models and photographers and would love to arrange another day from this fantastic location again soon !

Thank you

This was my second visit to the studio, once again shooting with Jade K.

This is a fantastic studio and Dee was once again very welcoming and always on hand should you need any assistance. The studio offers a variety of sets, of which we utilised a little more this time, but still has plenty to offer. Very much look forward to returning in the future....highly recommended....

Today I returned to Fine and Dandee after quite a while of not shooting there. As always Dee was the perfect hostess, friendly and always on hand to help out needed.

Since I was last there the studio invested in a lot of new equipment not that it wasn't well equipped before. The one thing that really stuck out was the studios detail to ensuring that the studio was as safe possible taking a lot of good sensible measures to protect as the COVID 19 situation.

Dee was the perfect host as ever. She is diligent with Covid security but doesn't allow it to overwhelm or detract from the shoot experience. Although I have worked at F&D many times I think today was the first slot I have booked on a studio day there. The model was excellent and everything went smoothly. The ability to work with natural light as well as studio strobes is a massive plus. A delightful relaxing shoot. Thank you Dee. BW Andrew

I give Dee a reference every time I come here because I always have a good shoot...

I am pretty much part of her furniture haha...

Dee is always really polite, friendly and makes you feel so welcome...

If photographers ask me to recommend a studio, I always say this one because not only do you feel welcome but the studio itself is perfect with 3 different rooms...

Shoot here, you wont be disappointed!

It was so lovely to see you again Dee...

I did my first shoot at Fine & DanDee with Miss Diamond Sparkle on her recommendation. Dee was so helpful from the moment that we turned up, made us feel very welcome and provided drinks to get us going. Dee was very good with checking our temperature and making sure that we were aware of all her very sensible precautions for shooting under the COVID restrictions. It made me feel very happy to work there.

The studio has a great set of lights and Dee is very happy to help set up the lights and provide advice, if needed. Also the studio has a whole heap of props that can be used during shoots.

So my first shoot but I hope not my last at Fine & DanDee. Thanks for all your help Dee i had a lovely time at your studio. Colin

Wow first shoot at the revamped Fine and DanDee Studio. State of the Art flash lights great selection of modifiers. Completely upgrade boudoir area and an extra background. Couple all this with an excellent model such as Aimee is Weirdd and bang a great shoot.

Dee as helpful as ever and the studio highly organised for shooting in the current climate.

Go and shoot there! Will be back. Highly recommended. :)

Photo Dojo

The shoot went very well. Clean & friendly reception. Covid aware safety measures in place. All the lighting and backdrops I required worked well and assistance setting up was on hand when I required it. Highly recommended.

Hugh Davis

First visit to the studio today shooting with Jade K. Communication and booking were spot on from the get go and all completed easily. Dee gave me a quick tour on arrival and was on hand at all times to assist with set ups. I only got to use the main shooting area, so did not get the full use of the facilities. Fantastic day and visit and fully intend to use the facilities again in the near future...highly recommended..

Jade K

Love to come back again and shoot soon Jade x

I had my second shoot in this lovely studio yesterday and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They are warm and welcoming from the outset and their help and hard work made the shoot very special. The choice of set meant that I could have gone on shooting for many hours more.

They work incredibly hard to ensure that everything is super clean under current circumstances and considering the high temperatures outside during the afternoon worked hard to keep us cool with lots of cold water available.

I shall definitely be returning to shoot there again.

Thank you so much

If you're like me, you will have been avoiding studios during Covid-19. I finally decided the time was right to do a studio shoot again, as long as guidelines were strictly followed. I've shot at Fine and DanDee before and have always been impressed with Dee's organisational and professional approach.

A quick phone call to Dee before the shoot put my mind at rest that she was taking the guidelines seriously to minimise risk for her clients and models. There is a 30 minute gap between bookings to allow proper studio cleaning to take place and to ensure there isn't cross-over between photographers.

On arrival, there is a notice at the entrance to the studio with a phone number to call to announce your arrival. A 'masked' Dee lets you in to use the cleaning station with hand sanitiser, gloves and masks available. You are asked to wear a mask throughout the shoot, which of course I was happy to do.

Dee then sets up the studio areas to your requirements - there are markings on the floor to show distances and a box to put any props in that you have used so they can be cleaned after the shoot.

This may all seem a bit cold and structured, but it's important, and Dee's cheery manner and helpful approach soon puts you at ease and the shoot is just as enjoyable and productive as always.

So, if you're at the stage of looking to get back into studio shooting again, this is the place to start - you won't be disappointed.

Another great studio day at Fine & Dandee studio last weekend.

Despite the ridiculously hot weather. The studio day went well as always, thankful for the air con provided 🙏🏼

Dee was fab, hospitable and always on hand when needed.

I have worked at a number of studios since lockdown and Fine & Dandee being on top with following Covid guidelines, ensuring everyone was doing what they should be doing and keeping everyone as safe as possible.

Thanks again, see you soon x

I have worked at F&D many times in the past and always loved the atmosphere and the space. Dee was as charming and hospitable as ever, the studio was exceptionally clean and tidy and has recently been kitted out with all new lighting. The Covid measures were sensible and I felt safe. Overall F&D offer great value for money and it is a pleasure to shoot there. I made another booking.

Just returned home from a fantastic shoot at this lovely studio. I had a great opportunity to work with a delightful Carla Monaco for 4 hours as part of a studio day arranged my the studio and it was a great afternoon. It has a very friendly atmosphere and the support during the shoot with helping set up a set and advise during the shoot was invaluable and for me - still learning - very much appreciated.

They put me at ease immediately on arrival and I cannot speak highly enough of the studio, the equipment available and the support during the shoot. There are many backdrops to choose from and the available lighting and variety of soft boxes and beauty dishes to choose from in 3 rooms / sets is large.

I hope very much to return to the studio to shoot again as I barely scratched the surface of the amount of opportunity to create here and am looking forward to that opportunity.

Many thanks.
