This was my first time shooting at a studio so I don't have a strong basis for comparison, but the model I worked with had recommended JDL Studios for our shoot, and she certainly wasn't wrong.

Jasmine has created a wonderful varied and imaginative group of sets within two studio areas, upstairs and downstairs (as described here), with quality furnishings, props and lighting options, and there are proper facilities for changing and so on. She is incredibly helpful, warm and enthusiastic and as a newbie to studio shooting, I felt totally welcome. She even gave us a lift to and from the station. The hire rates are very reasonable. We were spoilt for choice with all the sets, which provide lots of scope for humorous ideas as well as serious and more conventional ones. I'm looking forward to booking again, and also trying out the sets we didn't have time for. I completely recommend this studio to others, including beginners and amateurs.

My first time shooting at JDL studios and it was amazing!

Jasmine was the perfect host and has done a fantastic job setting the place up with a variety of amazing sets and a dungeon; it really is a great space. Together with Kitty Dawson, the model I was shooting, we had a great time and highly successful shoot, capturing some amazing images.

Thank you Jasmine for everything - most appreciated!!

I visited JDL with a model for a content shoot day and Jasmine was nothing but lovely and accommodating. All help was on hand when needed, great natter, lovely cups of tea and really felt great shooting there. Already recommended to models I know.

Had two shoots in the last week at JDL and both times I felt welcomed and relaxed and offered a cup of tea on arrival! The owners are lovely and put in so much effort to makes sure each set is perfect and as it should be. Everything in the studio is moveable which is perfect as you can make your images unique! A very professional studio with so much character. Looking forward to coming back!

This reference is for the two days that I was shooting at JDL this week :)

JDL is an amazing, versatile studio with many lights and is run by a model that is very helpful, charismatic and nice to chat with in breaks or even by being welcomed.

I love shooting here and I will be back in January! :)

I visited JDL studios for the first time today with Kitty Dawson and will certainly return. The owners are lovely, helpful and friendly people, so great hosts. The studio has some amazing sets for some really unusual looks as well as some classics. We shot for 4 hours and only managed to try about a third of the sets at all.

JDL is a great studio with terrific water features and beautiful sets!... A very professional and friendly space that's very clean and well managed! A lovely vibe there and worth a session anytime! We had a great group session with Dollyrosa organised by David used lots of sets and created some amazing images there!... I will be looking for more opportunities there in the future! ... Thanks to everyone involved and fun making images!

Visited JDL studios for the second time and made very welcome by Jasmine who runs the studio and is always unhand with a friendly manner and positive attitude. The sets are top notch and are so wide ranging. On this occasion we used the upstairs sets but ended with the waterfall set which was awesome and really showcased Arabella. Wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine's studio and look forward to a return visit soon. Thank you.

I've now worked at JDL Studios numerous times since it opened last year and have nothing but praise for Jasmine and the studio itself. It's amazing and so is Jasmine! She is SO friendly and down to earth; she is the perfect hostess in a brilliant studio. I HIGHLY recommend it!!

A big thank you to JDL Studios, I worked there as a photographer, with Paige Tyler, and Joshua Nye on a duo shoot. The sets, and facilities in Studio 2 were amazing, we used every corner to great advantage.

Highly recommended, many thanks.

I shot a JDL today for the first time, I soon as I walked through the door the man (sorry I don't know his name) was very welcoming, and offered to move anything and help set up which was very nice.

The sets are lovely and there was no detail spared, like the monkeys in the tree next to the waterfall very cute!

I then later met jasmine and she was also very friendly and kindly showed me around her upstairs studio.

It was a very relaxed place and I felt comfortable.

Thanks,

Today I had an excellent and productive shoot at JDL studios in Chesterfield. I was amazed at the sheer number of professionally created sets, the cleanliness and just how helpful and welcoming the staff were with showing me around, assisting with the lighting and offering me tea and coffee. In the three hour shoot we probably used about a fifth of what’s there, and that was with five set changes. I will definitely be using this studio again, which is a real gem. Thank you.

I've now used JDL Studios on several occasions and can't recommend it highly enough! There are so many different sets over the two floors, you're spoilt for choice. Jasmine is an amazing owner and model, and is welcoming and friendly (as well as being absolutely stunning and incredibly experienced in the industry).

If you've not used this studio yet, what are you waiting for?

Kitty Dawson

Great and highly recommended studio- I’ve been here many time :)

I have had 3 successful back-2-back Studio days at the wonderful JDL Studios.

I can wholeheartedly say it's my favorite local studio now!

The owner is very helpful, countless amazing sets, sets are updated regularly but the favorites stay longer of course :)

I will be back again for sure!

Highly recommended, versatile, and professional studio :)

I recently worked at JDL studios with Kitty Dawson

The owner Jasmine was very helpful offering great hospitality as well as an impressive array of lighting equipment.

The studio is set based, but all the sets are well constructed and offer opportunities for themed shoots with two floors of diverse sets to choose from.

The location offers easy parking and enables photographers of all levels to create quality images.

The environment is fun with a capital F so if you are in the locality give it a try.

You will not be disappointed.

Very Highly recommended.

Made my first trip to JDL Studios for a group shoot with Georgia [Baby G]. Given a tour of the studio on arrival along with a drink. Plenty of sets to choose from as studio has two floors. A great water feature on the ground floor, although hadn't time to use it. A great studio I'm sure I will use again in the future.
