I can not recommend Inspire Studios enough. I’m very new to modelling and Siaran was so comforting and helpful! I explained to her that I’m insecure about certain bits and she was more than happy to help me with different poses to help with those things. I just can’t get over how accommodating and warm she was and the conversation never stopped flowing. The images we produced were amazing and I couldn’t help but bounce around with excitement when I saw them. I can’t wait to see the finished product thank you so much for such an awesome day!

Back at Inspire last weekend for a brief shoot with the fab Tash Brownie. Siaran has addressed all concerns re creating a safe working environment in these difficult times. The studio is large enough to give ample space for physical distancing. It really is a fabulously equipped and run studio.

I brought along a Fesnel spot attachment which I had not previously used, with a view to creating some dramatic hard lit monochrome portraits of Tash. Siaran was most helpful in adjusting this for the desired effect. The results were very pleasing and I will be returning to Inspire.

Have already booked a further two sessions on model days and will be looking to hire the studio independently again soon.

Thank you again Siaran.

Had my first studio shoot at Inspire with Ballerina Ellie last week.

Siaran was so helpful with her input. Between them they made me feel very relaxed, and allowed me to ask questions. The Studio is fantastic with areas of Natural light as well as numerous Backdrops and Props.

I would like to thank Siaran very much for her assistance in setting my camera up and answering various questions i asked.

I cannot recommend Inspire and Siaran enough and I look forward to returning in the future to do more studio work.

Thank you once again and see you soon.

So good to be back shooting in this wonderful studio. Siaran has covered all the bases in terms of making the space Covid safe and I and my model felt perfectly relaxed and secure in the environment. The best studio in the South.

Had my first shoot at Inspire Studios, and it went amazing! It was my first time back in a studio since covid but I felt completely safe as there was loads of precautions taken, including plenty of hand sanitiser, clothing and photography equipment in bags to be washed and sanitised and of course social distancing!

The studio itself is lovely, there is so much to chose from! From a bed set, natural light corners and a variety of colourful and natural backdrops! I also love the change room as it has a beautiful Hollywood mirror!

Overall the shoot went great, Siaran is very helpful and helped us get set up and made sure we were happy! I highly recommend Inspire Studios and would shoot there again. Thankyou for welcoming me into your lovely studio! :)

This was my seventh shoot at Inspire, the first time back since lockdown and my first studio shoot since the virus impacted. It was a studio day with the lovely Ballerina.Elle organised by Siaran.

It was certainly lovely to back at Inspire after nearly 4 months of enforced absence. The studio of course remains (IMHO) probably best in this part of country (ie Wiltshire, Dorest, Somerset and Hampshire and the surrounding areas). It is well equiped, well organised and the warmest, welcoming and safe environment for models and photographers alike. Every shoot there is fun and productive and very well supported.

Siaran has even managed to upgrade some of her lights and make other studio improvements during the lockdown.

Regarding shooting there since the C19 lockdown, Siaran has everything well thought through and under control. The studio is reasonablty large so keeping a social distance with Elle was no problem. I arrived early enough to talk through Siaran's method of 'virus safe' working and Elle. Everything went smoothly, both Elle and I felt safe and the new restrictions are sensible and did not significantly impact on my work or productivity. This time I brought a laptop set up for basic tethered shooting which meant that I could let Elle see our pictures without needing to look at the back of the camera (letting the dancer see the results is important in danced based shoots).

Inspire (and Siaran) is extreemily highly recommended to models photographers of all abilities.

Thank you once again Siaran for your welcome and support for our shoot.

Ballerina.Elle

Favourite studio by far!

This was my 3rd or 4th time shooting at Inspire Studio and I have many more dates booked here to come!

Siaran the studio owner is an absolute delight to work with as a photographer and as a studio host. She is ever so accommodating and makes me feel at home.

I am based in London with many studio choices nearby but I always choose to go to Inspire if given the choice. It is also an easy train ride and takes less than 90 mins to get there from Waterloo.

I highly recommend Inspire Studio especially to anyone who is feeling slightly nervous or new to Purple Port.

Thank you Siaran, looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Best wishes

While the model seems to get the lions share of the credit in hobbyist photography I think that the studio unsung hero bit needs to be sung aloud - and no more so that Inspire Studios in Salisbury.

It is not only an absolutely massive space with awesome equipment, but also ranks with the very top for how friendly a welcome you get, and any discussion of ideas and recommendations on complex lighting - I know I’ve put up the bat-signal for help many times and talked through the desired imagery with Siaran and Darren (resident photonics engineers - or magicians of light and other ephemera!) to get even better than I’d hoped possible.

If you’re local, I envy you, if not, worth the trip!

Totally recommended.

Excellent facilities, immaculately clean and well presented, Siaran is so helpful, my first visit but definitely not my last.

Had another fantastic shoot at the studio, this time shooting with the amazing Elesha. Idea of the shoot simple clean images. I’ve not done high key for a few years. We shot a selection of high key slightly greyed out and with shadow. As usual we had a endless supply of tea coffee. I highly recommend this studio with separate studios changing area and large reception area. It is also close to Salisbury station.

I think I’ve been to this studio about 10 times now.

Thanks again for your hospitality always great fun.

See you again soon ( short notice as normal)

My first time at this amazing studio. And I loved every minute off it.Siaran is the perfect host and runs the studio to perfection. Super clean and very Covid safe a great place for a model and photographer To work in.

As I don’t do much studio work Siaran was happy to setup some amazing lights for me which looked incredible but also happy to leave me to it when i looked like I had an idea what I was doing.

The studio has so much to offer from The very Beginners to the very best with everything you need to create some breathtaking images even has fabulous natural light.

Highly recommended

My first studio day at inspire studios on Saturday and what an amazing day it was! Pre communications were excellent from start to finish and was so pleased with the advertisement posted / event that was made and how quickly it was organised.

Everything was all Covid safe at the studio it was spotlessly clean, hand sanitizers around the studio, triggers and clothing in bags to clean.

Siaran is extremely helpful and was always there to help out whenever needed by the photographers or me. Such a comfortable, friendly place to work for the day.

I had the pleasure of working with Siaran and her partner on my studio day too. I’m so pleased with what we created & some portrait and fashion shots which i don’t get to do a lot. A true professional and knows everything about lighting and how to get that perfect image.

Highly recommend anyone wanting to use the studio. Will definitely be back again :) thank you!

Mojo el Mundo

Exceptional venue with exceptional host. Catalogue shoot took half the time with a great infinity cove and Siaran even helping me to pose my model. Everything there you could need and COVID safe

My first proper venture into a studio, gently coerced into doing it by Elesha Eden, who in my opinion, is one of the best models out there. Greeted on arrival by Siaran, whose help was invaluable to someone with no useful knowledge of strobe lighting.

I thoroughly enjoyed the three hours booked in there, and although I say so myself, the images we got for a first timer, weren't bad by half :) I've always been put off by the idea of studio lighting, but I must say that this will not be the last time I'll indulge.

Everything at Inspire is very well organised regarding the recommendations on access during the current Covid crisis; hand sanitiser on arrival, cleaned triggers in sealed bags, and social distancing adhered to. That's the boring but necessary to know stuff paragraph.

I can highly recommend Inspire Studios, especially for a novice to studio shooting like myself. Siaran is always available to assist, and she is just so helpful when doing so, nothing seems to be too much trouble.

So a big thankyou for yesterday Siaran, and Inspire Studios, hope to see you again soon.

Elesha Eden

I have been back to Inspire studio's so many times I cant remember! its definitely my favourite in the area its becoming by second home. Siaran is lovely and knows a lot about lighting, the studio has a vast choice of lighting and many areas to shoot. Siaran is very helpful and she will be able to help you set up the space to create the perfect lighting and help you to get you the best results.

The studio has everything in place under Government Guidelines so you feel 100% safe. I felt very nervous about coming back to shooting and being at the studio but she made it very easy to come back to work with all social distancing rules In place.

We managed to book a quick shoot in the last time I was there and created some really lovely images I'm excited to see the end results :) I will be back very soon! highly recommended to everyone

Inspire Studios is a great space in which to work. There is plenty of space, backdrops and props, and good selection of lights.

Covid-19 protection excellent.

Siaran is super helpful and welcoming but never in the way.

Overall the best studio I have worked in :-)

Great shoot at Inspire with Melany. Inspire is a great studio to shoot at. Always so helpful. Many choices of lighting. I enjoy shooting here and hope to so many times in the future.

Thanks again to the wonderful Siaran for all your help

Amy Farrant

Absolutely loved shooting at Inspire Studios with the lovely Siaran for one of my first shoots back after lockdown. I felt very safe with all of the COVID-19 rules and regs in place. We had such a fun shoot, Siaran is the dream to work with! We created some awesome shots whilst testing out some new lights and backdrops. I would highly recommend and can't wait to get back in for a studio day next month!

Thanks again for a great day of shooting! Amy x
