I took a couple of slots at the model day at image red yesterday and was delighted with both the studio and Brian's assistance. There is plenty of equipment and props and lots of different areas to work in ranging from the standard 'studio' through to a huge rustic 'loft' with large windows for natural light. Brian was always at hand for input and guidance and provided some excellent suggestions to get the shots I wanted. A great studio with a great owner. I would very much recommend this studio, particularly to those wanting to try out different ideas in a variety of settings.

I worked at Image Red for my first Studio Day at the studio yesterday - and what a day! Brian is a wonderful host - we were fully booked so it was a busy one, but he was there without fail to greet photographers with a smile while I was shooting, and offered lighting/technical assistance to those who required it. I love 'The Loft' part of the Studio, it's gorgeous and I am obsessed with the windows and the natural light... if you're a fan of natural light it's impossible to not love shooting there! I look forward to planning future Studio Days and visits to Image Red - and working with Brian himself too in the very near future.

Thank you for having me Brian :)

I was hired by JohnCB for a shoot using the attic space here today, and WOW did it blow me away!

The space its self homes a large abundance of props, has some beautiful natural light, and has a rich, rustic and authentic feel due to the brick work and floor boards.

Though the room was exceptionally warm due to the recent British weather, there was plenty of shade and the room has quite a few fans to cool down with.

It's a room I will definitely hire in the future. And of course, Brian was the perfect host - I expected nothing less. Thank you, Brian!

I had my first shoot at Image Red yesterday with a super model Jamie Jones.

Brian had everything running on time and in place but in a very relaxed manner and it all went to plan.

We worked in the loft which was full of grime,so total perfection. Looking forward to working at the studio again.

Brian held a portrait workshop here at armkandi studio, during the evening he taught three single light looks and how to get the best from both the lighting and then processing the images in Lightroom & Photoshop. Brian really knows his stuff and is a great tutor, please consider him for any training requirements you may have. Five star

Had the chance to work with Brian again while he held a work shop for photograhers.

As always Brian was fantastic to work with. He is so easy to work with and laid back. He really knows his stuff about the photo world and is a joy to be around and work with.

Recommend him to all models and sure our paths will cross again.

I was hired for a group shoot at Image Red with the "50 Shades of Grey" Theme, and what a great studio it was hosted in!

Brain is a wonderful man, who clearly has a lot of experience and knows exactly what he is talking about. He was incredibly helpful the whole day, assisting both models and photographers with any thing possible. He was on hand the whole time.

The studio it's self is a decent size. Plenty of shooting space, and dressing room and even a shower that can be shot in too!

It was great to visit Image Red, and to meet Brian, and I hope to be invited back again soon!

Thank you - highly recommended!

With my friend Doug Watson we hired Brian'sImage Red's Loft and brought Jessica Taylor for a four hour shoot.The Loft is an old engineering factory floor and exhibits some of the characteristics of its former life,which adds much to any shoot,the available light is excellent,lights are also available and the props are many and varied.I cant recommend it highly enough,and Brian also has other studios available at his base,thanks Brian.

I had a wonderful first shoot with JohnCB at Image Red studios, we were privileged to use their new space The Loft which has some lovely derelict features and natural light. The facilities were great and Brian was a good help to set up and take down

I hope I have another chance to shoot there in the future :) Thank you for having us

Had my first shoot at Image Red Studio, with a very good local model, we shot in the loft area with daylight, all i can say is its fab 🙂👍.

Brilliant location to shoot in, nice and dusty and dirty abandoned look, excellent images.

Recommend the studio its win win in daylight..

Thanks Brian

It was a pleasure to shoot at Image Red. Well equipped studio, easy to find just off the M42, nice and warm and the owner Brian is a friendly and knowledgeable host. Plenty of backgrounds, props etc and although I didn't use it this time, the Loft studio looks great. Highly recommended.

Shot with the master Brian today and what a great shoot it was. First shoot with him and hope not to be the last! Communication was perfect and he knew what he wanted from his images! Great eye for detail and a pleasure to work with! Look forward to some amazing images from him. Recommend to all!

Abby Beau

Shot with Brian for the first time today and he knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot and communicated well with ideas, direction and lighting skills. He's very professional, makes you feel at ease and had a great shoot, highly recommend, can't wait to see the images! X

Image Squad Studio

Brian booked in with us at armkandi studio to shoot Abby & Steph today, as always it was a real joy to have him around. Some amazing images were taken, but for me, its so humbling when you have someone in that shares ideas, experience and advice with the models. Top bloke, always welcome here!

Did a photo session with Wendy Jayne, Cannock, at Image Red's Loft, Fazeley.

This area is a 'textured' environment, walls, floors, windows, light, dark.

Ideal for 'B & W' and 'Colour' photos, 'natural' light in the room, windows.

For fashion, glamour, nude and 'dress casual': street clothes etc.

Its 'tidy, untidy' appearance, what is still in place on the walls, works.

Giving one ideas of what could be done, where in the room, and how to do it.

Image Red:The Loft was on the 'places to do at sometime' list, it 'worked'.

Thanks Brian

I worked at Image Red today and had a great time. The owner Brian has added a further unit which is absolutely ideal for working with natural light and the original studio also has much to offer with recent developments. A great host, a great studio set up and highly recommended by me. Thank you Brian, will no doubt be back soon.
