Another shoot with Marshall, another interesting concept that we explored. The studio is delightfully versatile and can work with just about any shoot idea in mind. Marshall is full of ideas, hospitable and easy to converse with. Highly recommended, as always.

I cant recommend Graham enough!!

He was kind enough to host me again on my stay in Newcastle, he actually managed to put up with me for 4 nights.. now, that must be a medal of some sort!

We shot together at his studio, after i had a morning booking. Graham always has the images he wants to create within his head, hes really skilled and creative with lighting, and always seems to smash it when he has any idea! It only takes him a handful of shots before he gets something were both really happy with.

He shows all models utmost respect, always offering hot drinks and with a dressing gown at the ready.

Hes happy to direct the model, and is good at it too!

I would recommend the lovely Graham to any model, new or experienced.

Thanks for being such a lovely, genuine and creative guy Graham, its people like you who really inspire me!

Another shoot, another wonderful bunch of ideas! Pillars and vines, lace and dreadlocks, smoke and sinister poses. As always, Marshall is very easy to collaborate with. Recommended to new and experienced models alike to work with.

Had a fabulous shoot with Marshall as well as a good old catch up. He has a fabulous studio and the costume area is to die for he has really put an effort into what he does and loves and the images we got were true Amazing I can’t wait to come back. His images are amazing and he responses are quick and detailed if you get the chance to work woth him you should

I have officially made this studio my second home. In the last week I’ve had three shoots there, one of which was a studio day.

I cannot sing graham and grumpy sods praises enough, they are great people who have become great friends of mine.

Such a brilliantly breathetaking studio and I absolutely love it here!

The amount of props and clothes they have is more then a person could die for! There hasn't been a time where a photographer will suggest if I have anything with me, I nip a quick word to Graham or Norton and they haven't let me down yet. A variety of shoes in sizes 5/6, 2/3 boxes of fetishwear, wedding dresses, gowns. Absolutely all sorts.

The dressing room is the most impressive I've been in, with a heater which will be switched in before you get in there, mirrors with lights attatched, hairbrushes, deodorants and dressing gowns/slippers.

There is a shower if your shoot gets too messy, and a bathroom not too far from where you'd be shooting.

The owners are absolutely brilliant, they'll help with lighting, offer teas and biscuits but then hide away when you start shooting comfortably.

The owner, Graham, kindly hosted me while I was touring down here and he was more than happy to take me to the studio each day, take me back and feed me. We did some shots afterwards which we absolutely smashed!

Can't wait for my return in February,

KatyB

Another smooth-sailing shoot with Marshall Photos at Studio f2.8, this time to shoot a top for Plundering Productions. The white cove set-up was perfect, and we also had time and ideas to do a few creative headshots and waist-up images as well. As always, I'd highly recommend both Marshall Photos and the studio itself to photographers, models and other creatives alike regardless of experience.

Great studio, have done numerous photoshoots here and will continue to do so. The sets are superb and self contained, the props and lighting are first rate, you could spend all day here and not take the same photo. Norman and Graham are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Highly recommended

I've had very little experience of studios ... I usually shoot at the model's home or a hotel. Recently, I used Studio f2.8 in Darlington. When I asked Graham, who runs the studio, for directions, he offered to pick me up from the station ... that was very nice of him and very helpful because the studio is slightly harder to find than the Higgs boson.

The studio is very large... very, very large with several sub-studios set up in a large room (each with its own lighting). This means that multiple groups can work in parallel or (if it's empty) you can move from set to set freely. There was an infinite stage set (great for the white background), an antique room set, a bed, and several others.

There's also a changing room ... lots of props for use by photographers and cups of coffee when you want.

I'm not experiences with studio lighting but everything was largely preset (one set had four separate synced flashes). The range of equipment was simply excellent.

Graham explained the basics and set me and my model free to work as we wished. Each set had its own trigger, so moving set-to-set required only the changing of the trigger on your camera.

I found the studio easy to use and had more equipment and facilities than I needed. On top of this, Graham was great to work with.

So, I would recommend studio f2.8 (and Graham) to anyone without reservation. However, given Studio f2.8's extensive facilities, I feel it would be of particular benefit to the experienced or professional photographer because of its immense range of facilities and props.

had my first at Studio f2.8 yesterday, WOW !, what a studio by far the most impressive studio that I've been to, loads of sets, props, clothing and equipment is very impressive, everything has been made and presented to a very high standard.

Graham and Norman are really nice and freindly, very welcoming, they have created such a fantastic studio really great.

Had a full day shoot with my model Rox for the day we had a great shoot there, we going back very soon.

Visited Studio f2.8 recently for a group shoot with Talli, KatyB and Kris. The owner Graham has created a superb space with a comprehensive range of lighting equipment and props. An electric guitar and a crossbow were just 2 items on hand!! There were great studio sets and also plenty of other areas which could be used for shooting. It was a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and even the music was to my taste! Thanks must also go to Norman who helped with arranging lighting and props. All in all a brilliant studio to work in and I will look forward to working there again. Highly recommended and worth making your way there its a gem.

Absolutely amazing! My jaw dropped as i walked into this awesome studio!

I came here from Bristol to hold a studio evening with Talli Lyndsey, and Talli couldn't wait to show me the studio as she knew id love it!

Graham was lovely from the very beginning, offering to pick us up from the train station, and then generously dropped us back off to Talli's flat later on in the evening after our successful event.

He is always happy to offer us any drinks throughout the evening, and he has a huge room of shoes, props, dresses, coats... you name it!

Ive never been to a studio quite like it - and i feel it'll be a real battle to find another one better!

I am happy to say i am coming back and have it booked for another 2 days at the start of November, cant wait to shoot here again.

Thanks Graham, an experience ill never forget!

1000% recommended.

Talli Lyndsey

After visiting Studio f2.8 a handful of times for various shoots, from art nude, fetish to portrait and even animal photography! As well as to model for the owner Graham Marshall on a shoot, I can honestly say each time I visit is different to the last!

Last night (23/09/17) I modelled at the studio's fetish theme photography event alongside KatyB (Katex) and Kris Canavan with 8 Photographers.

As allways- on arrival myself and my companions were warmly welcomed and shown around the impressive selection of varied and versatile props & facilities! Throughout the course of the group shoot I was well looked after; ensuring mine and others health, safety and privacy was taken care of.

From a model's perspective I am consistantly impressed with the selection of items I have access to utilise whenever working at the studio. Including an organised & well considered dressing room complete with Robes & slippers as well as an outstanding wardrobe room with everything you could want from gowns to harnesses, and even accessories & footwear!

In my 7 years of modelling I can confidently say I have never encountered such a well equipped studio.

I cannot rate Graham Marshall Photography & Studio F2.8 highly enough!

So for any Model, Photographer or Performer who is seeking to create something unique & unconventional and desires an encouraging and creative space then you need look no further!!

11/10 !!

Until next time ... Talli Lyndsey 💚

I cannot recommend this studio highly enough!

I first encountered this venue & the gentlemen whom manage this locale several months ago with Talli Lyndsey while on shoot with Leon (Hank) Russo. Since that initial visit & opportunity to utilise the studio & its vast resources I have returned twice.

Studio f2.8 is worth repeat visits due to the sheer scale of the venue - with no less than x12 purpose built sets, custom built props, a very well stocked wardrobe, a private dressing room as well as a kitchen & rest rooms - every other studio I have shot in simply pales in comparison & this is before we even mention the compassionate nature & technical assistance of the photographer/manager Graham Marshall.

On the 23rd September I was fortunate enough to return to this creative hub to model alongside Talli Lyndsey & Katey B as part of a group shoot with x8 photographers. I was yet again left awe struck by the effective management of Graham & the other TOGS involved who left my companions & I feeling nothing short of a million dollars.

If you need a venue with multiple creative options (in terms of set, wardrobe & props) with management who can provide all the technical assistance you may need, then look no further!

I'm very much looking forward to the next creative adventure at Studio f2.8 - thank you!
