Kempston Studio is a Photographer’s dream made even more special by its owner Andy who is always on hand to help and give advice. The studio is very well equipped with lots of different scenes which can be adjusted to taste and lots of props too. It also has an amazing light wall which Andy designed and built himself, which is very impressive. I would highly recommend shooting at Kempston Studio.

Thanks again Andy 😊

Organised Chaos

I have been booking Kempston Studios at least once a month for a year & a half which has been an excellent idea.

Andy the studio owner I keep telling him he should give tutorials so maybe he will some time soon as thanks to Andy I am now able to set up lighting pretty much by myself but when I am in problems I can ask & get help.

This visit we did GOBO & really liked this effect as Andy has the filters but also will make his own as Andy just should you have missed it is very arts making of items.

I enjoy my time at Kempston so look forward to my next booking.

thanks,

Alec

OH also Andy loves Christmas & does not mind Alexa being asked to play all the favourites even this early 😃🎅🎄

My second time shooting at Kempston Studio. Andy is on the ball with communication throughout the booking process and ensures a great relaxed atmosphere when shooting. He's happy to let you get on with things or help out when needed and the studio has an Aladdin’s cave worth of creative props, looks, sets and lighting options. You could easily spend a couple of hours just looking through all the options available.

Well worth a visit

I had my first shoot at Kempston Studio with AJ the Model. Pre-comms with studio owner Andy were very good with details about payment, sets, backgrounds and lighting provided. Andy was very hospitable, professional and helpful. Guidance on camera settings, lighting and sets was given. The studio has a vast range of sets, props and backgrounds available with Andy setting them up when required. Highly recommended and will return.

Had a great shoot with Cherry English at Andys Kempston Studio.

Well looked after with refreshments and there when needed to unravel the Tardiss of movable walls to create incredible new sets.

Great equipment and well thought out spaces.

Highly recommend Kempston Studio and Andy deserves the success his hard work has earned.

I have shot at Kempston a few times now, and it must be one of my favourite studios.

Andy creates the most beautiful sets, we used is 'Marrakech' theme set this time, which I adored!

This is such a creative space with endless shoot possibilities, I already have my returns planned and looking forward too them!

Had a photoshoot with Rudy at Kempston Studios and it was fantastic! Everything was prepared, sets changed with ease, lovely dressing room and the wonderful air conditioner on such a hot day! I really appreciate all the hard work that went into making sure our shoot went perfectly. Such a friendly studio and hope to shoot here again! Thank you! X

A great first time shoot today at Kempston Studios. A fabulous place to shoot with an abundance of props, furniture, and so much more. The owner Andy is very generous with his knowledge and time. All set ups were excellent and Andy took the time to volunteer his expertise with lighting techniques, and explain how you arrived at the desired results. I learnt a lot about lighting and the key differences even subtle changes can make. As a hobbyist I felt very welcome and comfortable shooting here. It is the type of studio that I’m sure will offer more in terms of ideas and creativity each time you visit. I would recommend it as an excellent studio without hesitation. I will definitely return.

Andy runs a really great studio. My studio day was well marketed and sold out, there are a great variety of sets, backdrops and lighting options. Andy was friendly, professional and helpful all day. He manages the photographers very well and maintains a great atmosphere. Recommended!

Leah Phillips

Amazing studio with multiple sets, props, outfit options etc. The studio is lovely and clean with a dressing room to get changed in- with everything you could possibly need should you forget something.

Andy the owner is extremely welcoming, and makes a good coffee!

I look forward to returning very soon!

Thank you Andy!

Not so much a reference, but a "thank-you" to Andy. I had a lovely shoot with Antonia on the 22nd August. A couple of minor physical problems left me exhausted, but, Andy stepped in (as did Antonia), and arranged the lights when asked, changed the props and several other things..which, at the time would have been awkward for me. I really appreciate the help that was offered and given..my shoot would have not been half as successful otherwise.

Thank you Andy, I really appreciated your assistance (and Antonia's) on Tuesday, you and your studio are really amongst the best!

As always, best wishes

David.

First time I have had the pleasure to do a shoot a Kempston studios, Andy was very welcoming explained all the sets and set ups, help with changing all the sets around and supplied plenty of tea! I will defiantly do another shoot there in the future.

Antonia Jay

Another great 2 sold out days at Kempston studio

Andy is a great studio owner and photographer with lots of knowledge surrounding lights, set ups and cup of tea making too 😂

I love shooting at this studio it’s one of my most favourite!! Thank you Andy!

Can’t wait to come back

I had my first visit to Kempston Studio, working with the amazing Antonia Jay on her model day.

Andy, the studio owner, was very welcoming and showed me the different sets that were available. He also advised and set up the lights for me as well as making me a coffee or two.

The studio is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

I would thoroughly recommend Kempston Studio to any photographer and I will definitely be using the studio again in the future.

Worked at the studio quite a few times now. Was at the studio on Sunday to do the makeup for the models for R6tog, Andy has an area for makeup artists which is always clean to be able to set up and great lighting.

Without a doubt will always have a good shoot at the studio.

Highly recommend

Hopefully be back soon

Alyssa Taylor

I had my second shoot at Kempston Studio and we had a lovely experience. I worked with R6TOG, and Andy was an amazing help choosing equipment. He was welcoming throughout and the studio was clean, tidy and even stocked menstrual hygiene products. Already booked in to come again!

Theresa Louise and I went to Kempston Studio for our 24th shoot in just over 10 years!

The studio has an impressive selection of backdrops and props thanks to the innovation and creative talent of the studio owner, Andy. One can choose a backdrop that isn’t currently visible and, as if by magic, Andy will make it appear by shuffling some props and backboards around!

Andy is also a warm and friendly guy who is ready to help you arrange the set-up and lighting to achieve the shots you have in mind – nothing is too much trouble…..and he makes a good cup of tea!

Highly recommended!

I attended Kempston for the first time yesterday as part of my studio day there

Pre comms from the studio were great and Andy collected me from the station

I was well looked after throughout the day with lunch, snacks and coffee

Its a fab studio, very cleverly laid out to maximise space and very versatile! You can shoot a lot of different styles there which is very cool

Also nice and warm which is always a bonus for me!

There is also a great model wardrobe with shoes, jackets,accesories, outfits and lingerie which was super helpful , if you forget to bring something there's probably a similar alternative there!

I had a great day there and would absolutely come back! Highly recommend :)

I had heard good things previously from both models and photographers alike.

This was my first shoot at this studio and I can say in all honesty it was exceptional value and Andy (the owner) provides brilliant service.

There are at least six standing sets that can be made ready to go at a moments notice. Andy has been clever in how he has done this.

From what Andy tells me of his plans, the moss isn’t growing under his feet either. He is continuously evolving the sets ensuring each visit offers a new shooting experience.

I’m absolutely going to be using this studio again.
