Where to begin!...

it's an absolout pleasure modeling at hampsons studio, Such an amazing atmosphere full of friendly people that make you feel right at home. I've done a good few studio nights there now and a few 1 to 1 shoots and my confidence has just grown more and more every time. Always a good laugh in the studio and really if we are being honest it's like a big family that welcome you with open arms. For those starting out with modeling I couldn't recommend anywhere better!

Also if you love a good brew Martin the owner makes a brilliant cuppa 😉

Had such a lovely evening!!! Martin and his partner were so so lovely and welcoming. The studios had great facilities where we took a variety of shots on the studio night. Loved all of the amazing photographers I got to work with, who were so nice and a talented bunch ❤️ Was such a relaxed and fun time here, everyone had a great sense of humour and made me feel comfortable!

I have been attending Hampson St. Studio for quite some time now. Mainly for the club nights on a Wednesday but also for several of the special themed nights. What can I say about the studio other than I obviously highly recommend it.

The club nights are very well organised. Martin the studio owner is there to help with lighting but we are encouraged to experiment with & to set up our own lighting. More often than not he is assisted by Siobhan she keeps us all in order, makes sure no one monopolises the models time and is there as a reasuring face for the model as she is an awesome model herself. Martin also runs tuition nights at the studio & location days in North Wales. These are excellent both from a learning, socialising oh yes & you get some excellent images.

Thank you very much Martin & Siobhan for all your help over the years. Not only do you run an excellent studio but I am also very pleased to say you have become people I am very proud to say are now very good friends. Martin is also an awesome Wedding Photographer & I hired him to shoot my son’s wedding. Highly recommended on all counts, keep up the good work.

A great first shoot at Hampson Street Studio with the wonderful Helen Rose.

A great space with large infinity curve, plenty of backdrops and Martin on hand to set up any lighting should you so wish. Martin couldn't have been more helpful and was the perfect host. As a professional photographer himself, instantly knew how to set things up to get the shots you were after, which for me was great; thank you Martin.

Thoroughly recommended!

First time shooting here and it was a great place to shoot!

The heater was super powerful (it was snowing outside so this is key ha) and Martin is a great host who makes sure you have everything you need.

The studio has a great space and has the ability to accommodate lots of different ideas - Martin is also great with his lighting and helped us set up some cool original sets.

Hope to return in the future!

I did a group shoot, which was a workshop organised by Martin, and it is a very spacious studio, It is a really good Studio as the heater was full since it’s very cold outside, There’s a nice big mirror which is ideal to do make up. Everyone was very friendly, I would shoot here again

Hampson St Studio is an amazing place. Martin is incredible, the most welcoming, down to earth, respectful man that instantly welcomes you with open arms and dignity. He is so good at his job, an asset to the photography industry.

The Wednesday club nights are extremely recommended. As a influencer/content creator/model that suffers sometimes extreme anxiety, this is honestly something that broke a huge part of that barrier, just throwing myself in and knowing that to be successful you have to trust the amazing people you are working with around you. If you suffer or are worried, please message and speak to them directly, because they will go ABOVE and BEYOND for you and will do as much as possible to make you feel comfortable and dignified at all times.

They will never push or exceed your level or boundary.

The studio is very accessible, is beautiful with a range of different sections, designs, lighting, backdrops ect and I would highly recommend a shoot here.

I cannot wait to go back when ive gained more experience and hopefully work with martin towards the future.

Attended the club social night on Wednesday & felt so welcome, everyone was really friendly. Martin was so accomodating and taught me so much! I would definitely recommend the studio, everyone is so professional and the equipment is amazing.

Club nights most Wednesday on a sort of open mic/lens basis for up coming models. A chance for togs to chat, models to get great portfolio builds and friendships to be made.

Martin is a great host (weird fascination for Thai chilli crisps) and the evenings are always a place to learn and develop for all there.

Well worth making the effort and you do tend to want to come back.

I worked at Hampson St Studio for 4 hours with Paula W, the studio is a good space, comfortable to work in with plenty of creative opportunity, there is a great selection of backgrounds and equipment and Martin, the studio owner is welcoming and friendly and on hand to make your shoot as enjoyable as possible, he was also very accommodating with advice on lighting setups to produce the best results, very much appreciated Martin, thank you.

I would quite happily return to Hampson St Studio for a second shoot and also recommend its use to models and photographers looking for a great place to shoot.

I had the opportunity to arrange a day at Martin’s studio. On arrival I was welcomed with open arms and a perfect cup of tea. The studio is very spacious and well equipped with lights, modifiers and various coloured backdrops and studio extras to make your shoot run flawlessly.

Not only was the studio perfect Martin went out of his was to setup and explain various lighting examples which help obtain some stunning results.

I would highly recommend getting in touch with Martin if your looking for a great studio or one to one tuition.

Thank you Martin see you again soon.

It was a group night. Martin made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived. Spacious, suitable changing facilities, great tea makers. Friendly people. Couldn't do enough to help me and make sure I was ok. Definitely would recommend and would love to work there again.

Thanks

my first studio shoot "up north" and really impressed with the large and excellent facilities here at Hampson Street. Its a traditional "white space" with plenty of coloured backdrop rolls to choose from and a great selection of lighting available. There is a private model changing area and Martin the owner is a brilliant source of insight and inspiration especially when being back in a studio for the first time in yonks. Looking forward to returning very soon!
