I had the pleasure of working at The Hacienda during Artemis Fauna’s “Back to the 70s” event. Sean was a very helpful and friendly host and The Hacienda provided the perfect environment for the shoot. There’s lots of natural light, additional studio lighting (not really needed in this case as it was so beautifully sunny) and loads of space (and different rooms) to work in. Thank you for a great day!

Had my first shoot at Hacienda yesterday. It won't be my last.

Yesterday it was @artemis 70's themed shoot and she had created some quite amazing sets. But even without this, Hacienda looks to be a fantastic space with some amazing photo opportunities. Sean is also a kind and gracious host.

Highly recommended.

I’ve just returned from probably one of my best photography experiences thus far.

As Bad Dolly has testified below, the Hacienda is quite a spectacular studio, and I’ve been very fortunate to shoot there several times.

However our gracious host, Sean, very wisely, decided that the format needed changing.

He invited various teams of Hacienda models to produce themed events, using the marvellous space which is available.

This weekends theme is the 70’s Penthouse Shoot, stage managed by Artemis Fawna and Carla Monaco, joined by Natasha Bella who was making her first Hacienda appearance.

Artemis is an old hand at putting on spectacular events and her skills in procuring props and giving the whole theme her personal touch, was truly exceptional. Moreover the shoot was choreographed to perfection, ensuring that my fellow tog and I were afforded the right time to rotate around the three models.

Our models need no introduction as they are all such beautiful consummate professionals as well as fabulous ladies with whom to while away a few hours.

Notwithstanding the amount that these events raise for charity, the whole experience was very memorable and my thanks to all involved.

No wonder everyone is talking about this magnificent bolt whole, so kindly offered to us by the fabulous Sean.

It was my first time at The Hacienda after hearing great reviews I was very much looking forward to it. The studio is a beautiful space and had been transformed to suit a 70's theme organised by Artemis. Whether shooting natural light or flash photography you will find interesting places every which way you turn making this venue a beautiful location to shoot. I was very impressed and everyone achieved fabulous images. The host/studio owner, Sean, is an absolute role model of studio ownership, going above and beyond to make sure everyone is well looked after. I certainly look forward to an opportunity to work there again and would highly recommend you look out for future events to attend.

... not to mention, proceeds go to charity - currently Battersea Cats and Dogs. So, get booking, not only fabulous themed events, but supporting good causes too!

Thank you very much Sean for your hospitality.

I've wanted to shoot at The Hacienda for so long and yesterday my wish was granted! It's everything I expected and more, abundant with gorgeous natural light and beautiful furnishings, it would be hard to take a bad shot of that place! So much space to use as well as a plethora of backdrops and textures that jump put at you begging to be photographed! I was there for 6 hours and there was still so much left to shoot.

Sean is a wonderful host with a wealth of knowledge and the cheese on toast was perfection!

I would jump at the chance to go back and recommend it to everyone :) x

I had the opportunity to shoot at the Hacienda for the second time. This time for a 'Gilded Redhead' shoot with the three lovely models Gem, Ivory Flame and Heather May Corvid. It is a wonderful studio and Sean was on hand and willing to advise throughout the shoot. Sean is a very friendly person who is very welcoming and makes you relax as soon as you arrive. Thank you for your help throughout the shoot Sean - I only wished I lived a bit closer to the studio!!

I worked for the first time at the Hacienda Studio on Sunday at the Gilded Gold event with Ivory Flame, Gem and Heather May Corvid.

The facilities are fantastic and provide for a wide variety of sets and themes.

Sean was on hand if needed and was very supportive indeed in terms of help with ideas, lighting and a welcome supply of coffee.

I strongly recommend the Hacienda for your creative shoots and look forward to working there again soon.

Thanks Sean, your very well equipped studio is in a league of its own.

As ever, the Hacienda and Sean are a welcoming place to be creative with photography and videography. I keep saying it, if you get a chance to shoot their with one of the resident models or events, jump at the chance.

Sean very graciously allowed me to shoot with the beautiful Jenny Rose in the outstandingly fabulous Hacienda.

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, offering the most welcome natural light , which can transform the studio into a paradise.

It was quite a wonderful experience shooting with someone not yet familiar with this studio, taking the lead on trying to deliver really great creativity.

Jenny is a truly professional model, who enjoyed herself enormously and helped to produce results so worthy of this stunning studio.

I made my first shoot here with Trebor images and Nicole Ryaner.

The study is amazing!😍

I was struck by the furniture, the spaces and the lights.

It offers endless possibilities to realize what we create with imagination.

I made 2 looks for the model and the space was so perfect!

Sean the owner, was very kind, welcoming and helpful.

I hope to work as soon as possible again in that studio because it is so beautiful!🙂 highly recommended!!!

I had an amazing creative shoot with Ivory Flame and Amelia Mary at the Hacienda last weekend at an 'Electric Dreams' styled/themed event which was organised to perfection :-)

Sean was a terrific host and really helped everything to run smoothly.

The Hacienda is a unique location to take pictures in and I recommend it highly :-)

Ivory Flame

I was so lucky to get the chance to take my work to the next level at the incredible Hacienda... as a resident model Sean allowed me to use his space and organise an epic 4 day themed event 'Electric Dreams'. I booked models, MUAs, hair stylist, designers, hired props, built sets and sourced styling all inspired by vibrant, cinematic sci-fi movies like Blade Runner and the Fifth Element which I adore. It was the largest scale shoot I have arranged, and the Hacienda's beautiful, industrial features already leant so much to the look!

Sean was a total star is helping me plan the transformation, supplying any info I needed, taking deliveries and was an utter HERO helping to set up everything in the days running up to the event :-D

Witnessing it all come together, modelling in smoke, lasers, neon lighting, incredible outfits, with atmospheric movie music blasting out, and seeing the other models Tink, Ryo and Amelia KILLING it, and all the photographer's creating EPIC pictures, was a dream come true.

It was such an exciting and unforgettable experience, and Sean's enthusiasm, creative passion and support made that a reality! As always he was so kind and welcoming, helping the days go smoothly, attentive to so many thoughtful details that made the days even more productive and fun for everyone.

The opportunity allowed us to raise the bar in creativity, whilst also raising money for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. I cannot thank him enough - and if you get chance to book on to one of the other Hacienda events during 2019 - absolutely DO IT!!!

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Had a fabulous shoot at The Hacienda last month. Totally amazing studio shooting space, and the host, Sean, was very helpful and friendly. Can't wait to visit again sometime. The shoot was organised by Ivory Flame, who I have shot with a couple of times now. Her pre-comms were outstanding, and she had worked very hard on the Electric Dreams theme for the shoot. Arranged for stylists, mua's, etc who were all excellent. The other two models were Ryo Love and Tinkerbella. Wow! what can I say about these ladies - A great choice by Ivory Flame, they fitted the roles perfectly. All worked tirelessly throughout the day to deliver the shots I wanted, and we got some awesome results. A very fun day - Thank you all so much. Best wishes, Jann.

I had my second shoot at The Hacienda this week. The studio is a amazing space to work in. The natural light is fantastic but there are strobes and modifiers if you need them. There are many areas to shooting in and a huge range of props. Sean is very welcoming, making sure that you have everything you need. If you get the chance to shoot here you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended

I finally had the opportunity to shoot at the Hacienda last Friday shooting at a models studio day held there.

I was welcomed Sean who showed me around the amazing space and made sure I had everything I needed, the studio is blessed with lots of lovely natural light and well equipped with strobes etc for when the sun fades.

I will not waste time going over all the interesting and quirky sets, backdrops and props available as these can seen in the many stunning images taken here but I will say that you will find it hard to come across a more welcoming or well appointed studio.

I went to the Hacienda for the second time yesterday and the place is still one of the best place I have been able to shoot from so far.

The studio is amazing with lots of space and lots of character.

Sean is a very nice and welcoming host too.

Very highly recommended

Once again I come away from the Hacienda with a great shoot with Ali Brooks during her model day in the can. Sean and the Hacienda as ever are a welcoming creative place to create some great images. After all these shoots, I'm still finding ways to creatively shoot the studio and the models there. If you ever get the chance to shoot there, jump at it.
