My Third shoot at image red, and definitely won’t be my last.

It’s a fantastic studio, with lots of space, it good to have white side and the black side , which is extremely useful , for creating inspiring results..

Brian is a lovely Gentleman, always makes you feel welcome, and also there for any help around his studio,

I 100% recommend image red to all photographers models .

I’ve shot at Image Red on very many occasions. Whilst I may have mentioned the studio and its owner, Brian, in my references for models, it’s a long while since I wrote a reference specifically for the studio so here goes.

Image Red is a good studio with three areas in which to shoot and is well equipped with lighting and props, but it is Brian who makes it a great studio. His vast experience shows through in so many ways. Nothing is too much trouble and he will work with his clients to get the perfect lighting set up, offering as much or as little help as the photographer requests.

For me, photography is about more than creating gorgeous images, it is about the social interaction between photographer, model and studio owner. Over the years, Brian and I have become good friends. I value his advice and enjoy our discussions on a wide variety of topics, often over a cup of tea and chocolate biscuits!

I used Image Red for the first time at the weekend. It is a nicely equipped studio. Brian balanced being available to help set up equipment when needed and out of the way when he wasn't. I expect to use the studio again and, in particular, I am watching out for any model days there.

I’ve visited the studio a few times now and I can’t wait to return again. We got some absolutely fabulous images. I love coming here to shoot. A great day all round!

Highly recommend from me

I’ve used Image Red since 2018 and never had a bad experience. Brian is more a friend than anything else, his knowledge and support is second to none. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. He is so supportive and gives mountains of encouragement, no matter your ability as a photographer or model. Image Red is one studio that is disable friendly, even if you use a wheelchair. I know this as I am disabled. Thank you so much Brian for all your continued help and advice 😁👍

I had a great time working at Brian's studio again recently, I needed a studio tuition session for a new photographer who wanted to learn all different lighting techniques - and I knew Brian was the perfect person to help him! My photographer really enjoyed the session and learnt so much, and Brian (as always) is so easy going, friendly and down to earth. He took time to go through things slowly, helpfully guiding through various lighting set-ups, sharing adjustments and useful tips from his wealth of experience.

It was a lovely session that I really enjoyed modelling for, and I can very happily recommend Brian and his studio!

First time for me at Image Red but will not be the last. Brian was incredibly helpful with his lighting tuition on a range of scenarios and has given me a lot of confidence to do more studio work in the future

Yet another fantastic days shooting at Image Red Studio. Thank you to Brian for organising today’s shoot, Kitty Dawson was absolutely amazing. As always, Image Red Studio is welcoming, kind, friendly and extremely helpful, especially for a disabled wheelchair user. Looking forward to my next shoot at the studio, at least 50% of the studio is accessible to wheelchair photographers which is extremely rare for a photo studio. Keep up the great work and look forward to using your facilities again very soon.

It had been some time since my last visit to Image Red and hopefully now there is a sense of 'normallity' it will not be too long before I can use their facilities again. Great hosts, Help is on hand if needed and a vast array of equipment and props to use plus plenty of space to work. a good space to create some great images.

My first time back at Image Red since pre-covid and I'm happy to say the studio is as good as ever. Brian is an excellent host and manages to find a perfect balance between being friendly/helpful without interfering with your shoot (though he's obviously willing to provide help with lighting, etc. if required)

I'd happily recommend this studio to togs and models alike.

I had the pleasure of shooting at the excellent Image Red Studio. Brian is such a pleasure to meet and work with and really looked after all my needs. His communication before and during the shoot was excellent. Brian is very understanding and took care of all my shooting needs. It was great to shoot at Image Red and I really look forward to shooting there again. Very highly recommended!

This was my first studio day at Image Red :)

Brian was fab with precomms. He was incredibly helpful when enquiring about studio specifications...as my plan was to lug my freestanding pole to the studio for the day (which happened)!!

Brian couldn't have been more helpful throughout the whole day. He helped me unpack, set up and repack my heavy x-stage- which is saying A LOT, because it is a pain and weighs a tonne! As soon as I walked in the door he had me relaxing with a brew and we had a great chat before my first shoot :) Brian was also on hand to help with lighting set ups and whatever the photographers needed.

The studio space is fantastic, Brian is incredibly lovely and professional. All in all, a wonderful day! I hope to be back again soon :)

Highly recommended.

I hadn't shot at Image Red for a few years, so it was good to go back and be able to use the big open space.

I was booked with the wonderful Ivory Flame for the afternoon.

It was a terrific shoot and Brian helped make it so, being there when you wanted him and invisible when not.

There is ample lighting - both continuous and flash and good areas to shoot.

Recommended by me.
