Another day at Inspire. And another good 'un!

This time I was doing hoop pics with Maria Jazmin. I'd not done any hoop pics before, so I needed to faff about with lighting angles and other stuff. As always, the proprietor, Siaran, and her trusty aides gave me all the help I could possibly want. Thanks to their patience and assistance (and thanks also to Maria Jazmin, of course :)) I was delighted with the pictures.

Yes - yet another very productive and satisfying day at Inspire. Nice studio and nice people. :)

Just come away from a “dance” group shoot with Maria Jazmin at Inspire Studios at Salisbury.

The shoot was so well organised with very varied sets for different styles of shoots. Having shot at Inspire a number of times, it was no surprise how good the studio and lighting was - perfect

Siaran as always was the perfect host, providing teas, coffee, sweets and biscuits. Siaran planned the shoot to perfection - it was well balanced and the 4 hours went so quickly.

The shots that I and other photographers came away with were amazing and everyone seemed very happy with their lot.

The studio is perfect for both 121 shoots and group shoots. I can not recommend enough.

Thank you for a great day.

Maria Jazmin

It was my second visit to Salisbury so of course I contacted this fabulous studio to see if we could do a studio day. Well I ended up there for 4 days of my tour! And I couldn't have been happier. Siaran is a fantastic owner, so friendly and welcoming and unbelievably helpful. Her advertising is very well done and pre-comms were on point.

Siaran ran the studio day very smoothly and kept everyone relaxed and happy. The studio is extremely well equipped in all aspects, with her new lighting which speaks for its self and an owner who is always on hand to help with the photographers needs. She has a fabulous studio wardrobe which I very much enjoyed and got the pleasure of shooting in one of her dresses.

Siaran made me feel so at home for the week and is genuinely a lovely lady. It was also nice to work along side BridgeSHOOTS. Very friendly to talk to and made a fab behind the scenes video of the studio day :)

I defintly recommend Inspire studios for both photographers and models of all levels. Thank you again for such a great week :)

Have visited Inspire before a couple of times and this time came for a studio day - this is hands down one of my favourite places to work. :)

Siaran the studio owner is a model's DREAM when it comes to being a studio day host. She is lovely, welcoming, and her studio has a positive and warm atmosphere. She was very mindful of my comfort through the day - she both made sure I was physically comfortable -- warm, well fed with coffee and biscuits, had a tidy and clean environment to work in, and also she ensured I felt mentally happy. She managed all the bookings and had clearly paid a lot of attention to the quality of person booking in both photography and manner, everyone I worked with was lovely.

The studio day went totally smoothly - there is an abundance of kit there, lights were set up exactly how photographers needed, there were plenty of sets to work in plus a lot of different textures and also beautiful natural light spots offered by the large windows. Was very easy to find inspiration, worked in their space for 8h and there was still a lot of the studio I could have explored.

Got a whole bunch of amazing shots there and looking forward to arranging my next studio day there in a few months!

Ths Reference covers my 3rd, 4th and 5th shoots at Inspire, which all occurred in the same week on different days. The first two shoots were a dance movement project with Maria Jazmin and the last a fitness / art nude shoot with Eliza Watson.

Inspire is run and hosted by Siaran who is absolutely delightful, supportive, flexible, understanding and an very considerate host. She looks after you perfectly, from frequently checking all is going well, to assisiting and advising on set ups, you making sure you are kept refreshed with drinks and biscuits.

Inspire's new Siros lights are superb for the work I was doing with Maria, and we explored capturing movement using a number of the light's features including their very short during flash to freeze Maria's impressive jumps, strobe, independant triggering, and second curtain sync with long shutter durations.

Inspire also advanced the instation of the larger black backdrop in the upper studio with it's larger width (brilliant for movement and jumps) and good hight (used to the full with Maria) - I so appreciated this was fitted in time for my shoot.

With Eliza, I used some of the same features I used with Maria, but also used their Natural Light window, the staircase lighting set up, and the downstairs studio with the white infinity curve.

All this means Inspire has become my favorite studio in the Dorest, Wiltshire, Somerset, West Hampshire area. It's flexible facilities, offering a number of different shoot arrangements, excelent lighting, and wonderful support make it hard to beat. It is especially suited for anything requiring width and height (such as dance), and also has fittings for aerial hoop.

Inspire Studio is very highly recommended indeed.

Siaran - thank you once again for all your support and hospitality. I will be back!

Gosh - where to start!

I’d had the most awful journey to get to Inspire Studios but was instantly put at ease by the warm welcome and the mug of perfect coffee put straight into hand (little details are the everything!)

Siaran then showed us around, one of the biggest infinity coves I’ve ever seen and the shooting space upstairs is just to die for with infinitely many possibilities to shoot.

More than adequate lighting and modifiers (even for a Hollywood guy like me who simply can’t use just three lights!), assistance came freely and happily from just helping hold a prop to helping diagnose lighting from an inspiration image.

Absolutely top studio.

Very highly recommended!

My first and best studio experience through purple port so far! The studio proprietor, Siaran was very hospitable and offered tea, coffee and biscuits through out the shoot. She made sure I had everything I needed and was very nice to chat to.

I was shooting with Paulinfocus that day and have seen some amazing shots from the shoot. The studio has so many different highlights and areas to shoot in including an amazing staircase which helped produce some incredible pictures.

Would highly recommend this studio and really hope I’m lucky enough to work there again soon.

Thank you!

I have lost count, but these was another amazing group shoot at Inspire Studios. Siaran is an amazing host and photographer who also served everyone with coffee and biscuits.

Inspire Studios is an amazing studio which has so many places to shoot and lots of options with studio lights ,modifier and props to use and you will definitely get what yo are looking for. She also helps if you need help with lights setup.

Highly recommended and will be looking forward for future studio days and group shoot.

Thanks

I LOVE this studio!

I’m so chuffed to have been lucky enough to have had four days/events here already this year! Can’t wait to come back already, always a joy to visit and an easy pleasant atmosphere. Fabulous studio owner Siaran also looked after me during my tour and put me up for the weekend which was greatly appreciated and lovely to be able to chill out with after a day of shooting.

If you haven’t yet visited this studio then please ask yourself why not?!

Always highly recommended by me.

Until next time.

Best wishes

I don't often shoot In studios but really wanted to start expanding my skills and couldn't have picked a better studio to do so. This place has everything you could ever need and more importantly the owner Siaran is one of the most genuine, lovely and helpful people you could ever met. She was more than happy to offer advice and do whatever it takes to help produce the images I wanted.

The studio is impeccably clean, modern and includes a wonderful natural light space upstairs too.

I will definitely be heading back to the studio again soon and can't recommend this place enough. 5 stars all the way!

Had a couple of great shoots at the amazing Inspire Studios so far with more booked, both private and workshops.

Siaran is very welcoming and and makes sure the day runs smoothly and everyone is looked after.

The studio is spacious, warm and accommodating for all types of photography.

I was also lucky enough to attend one of Darren, of "Bridgeshoots" lighting workshops at the studio.

Inspire Studios has many lighting options available to photographers, and Darren has a comprehensive knowledge of set ups and its resulting effects.

I would highly recommend Inspire studios to any photographer aiming to work at the highest level.

Wonderful, varied and spacious

I had another great day at Siaran's Inspire Studios on a Beauty and Headshot day with Bridge Shoots (Darren) and the superb model, Amalia. The studio is very flexible and spread over 2 storey's. We explored several different sets, backgrounds and lighting options. Everyone came away with some great images. Another great day and a big thank you to Siaran of Inspire Studios and Darren of Bridge Shoots for everything.

I attended two group shoots on Sunday 1st September at Inspire Studios. Siaran as usual made the attendees very welcome with tea, coffee and nibbles.We had an amazing model in Amalia for the two sessions. The morning shoot was editorial fashion, the second concentrated on portrait lighting setups.Both sessions were presented by Darren (Bridgeshoots). He ensured that each lighting setup was explained, a few shots taken, then extra lights or reflectors added to build up the shot.The two sessions were exactly what they said on the tin!

Inspire Studios is one of the most spacious and well equipped studios around and it is very reasonable, both for personal shoots and for groups sessions that are regularly laid on.If you haven't been there yet, you are seriously missing out. I absolutely recommend both the studio and Darren as a course presenter and will certainly be shooting there again. Thank you Siaran and Darren.

First time in a while I've venture into a hire studio, and this was a great place to get shooting.

Lots of lighting gear, backgrounds and shooting possibilties, in the end run around shooting a lot, and achieved a lot as well.

The studio is run by Siaran and very helpful, welcoming and friendly for myself and Roseanna.
