This was my first visit to Andys studio and I am sure it will not be the last.
It has been a while since I last worked in a studio so I was a little ring rusty, but Andy was a great help with advice on using his lighting, moving props and changing sets around for me, extremely helpful, but not overbearing or intrusive.
Overall a great studio with lots of possibilities and variations for a shoot that can be acheived with a bit of idividuality.
Andy is a great host and obviously works hard on this gem of a studio. I thoroughly recommend it to any photographer, whatever your experience level.

First shoot at Andy's studio which was a sold out studio day. What an amazing space with lots of possibilities for shooting!
Andy is extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Great communication before the studio day, making me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived, Andy goes above and beyond. A massive shoutout for collecting me from the station and dropping me back as well as making sure food and drink were available throughout the day.
I highly recommend this studio and look forward to any possibility of returning :)
Thanks again Andy!

I can’t sing Andy’s praises enough! I always thoroughly enjoy my Studio days here. I feel like I’m just repeating previous refs of mine, however you don’t always get looked after like you do at Kempston Studio. Models are always Andy’s top priority and nothing is ever too much for him. Collected/dropped back at the station, fed/watered constantly and always makes sure there is fruit etc to snack on throughout the day.
The studio has so many amazing options and has everything you could need. It’s comfortable to work in and provides so much variety. I love that Kempston can offer natural light as well!
Andy is such a lovely soul and I always know I will be 100% safe and happy when working at his studio.
I would highly recommend to both models and photographers. He is so helpful with photographers too and incredibly swift at changes sets/furniture.
Thanks again for having me!
RECOMMEND A MILLION TIMES OVER!

I was confused when I got to Kempston Studio, because Andy asked me what set I wanted. I thought it was something to do with tennis, but he soon explained in his calm, clear manner that the studio has different backdrops and lighting options. I’ve led a sheltered life, and I don’t get out much, so I wasn’t expecting this sort of thing. I’m used to some bloke, who hangs up a piece of white background paper, and says it costs more if you tear it. Andy was an engineer in a former life, and it shows; his studio has a boudoir set, a New York set, and a whole load of other options that could keep you shooting for days. There’s even a wall, that thinks it’s a light, and it moves! I’ve never seen anything like it. At one point I declined a set change, because it would take too long, but I was persuaded by the model (the illustrious Serenity), that Andy could work instant miracles. By the time Serenity changed her shoes, Andy had transformed the set into an Edwardian lounge; it was like a conjuring trick. Get yourself over to Kempston Studio ASAP, and experience the magic first hand; Andy’s the nicest bloke you could meet, and he offers one of the best shooting spaces in the country.

Had a couple of great shoots with Andy at Kempston Studios in quick succession. I hadn't worked from there before, and really enjoyed the creative sense of the space. Everything moves (from the furniture to the walls)... essentially becoming a canvas for whatever you can imagine. Andy was fantastic and enthusiastic to help you achieve your vision in the best way possible. It was a pleasure to work there, and I hope to be back soon. Thank you Andy

I always have a blast when modelling here. By far, one of my absolute favourite studios, always has been from the first shoot I ever did here. The studio is always clean, organised, plenty or clothing and accessories to borrow while shooting, loads of drinks and snacks, top quality equipment, props and furniture etc. Andy is an amazing host who is always on hand if need be but also stays out of the way if the photographer doesn’t need any help. Andy is friendly, polite, funny, professional, respectful and is one of the best studio owners around. Ashley and I sold out our studio weekend, and Andy is always very busy which is no surprise at all because the studio is run perfectly and smoothly and it’s a reflection of how lovely Andy is. Highly recommended to all models and photographers!

Came to Kempston again, this time with Hattie Grace,... oh my how will Andy put up with the both of us !!! haha ... he did of course!
Again , every single photographer was impressed by Andy's input. and me and Hattie were treated with the upmost respect during our studio weekend.
Highly recommend to travelling or touring models as a great and safe place to shoot!!
Regards
Ashley

Back at Kempston for the third time, and on this occasion for a shoot with KatePop.
Andy really does run a great studio, packing a lot of options into the shooting space. He's welcoming, providing a much-appreciated supply of coffee, and helpful. He's on hand to move furniture around, help with lighting set-ups, and on this occasion, offer advice when I had a mind-blank on why flash camera settings weren't working as I'd expected.
Definitely recommended.

Having done 2 studio days at Kempston within the space of a month; first with KateStardoll and now with KatePop(forgot to do a reference for the first one; my mistake!), I more than strongly recommend Andy and his superb studio!
He had a printed copy of the plan which I prepared and sent prior to arrival, offered drinks and snacks, helped with setting up my camera and was comfortable with me helping in moving equipment and props to get the chosen sets available. And also had a laugh and a joke, while also giving a few interesting tips and historical facts too.
As two late great film critiques would say; 2 Thumbs Way-Way Up! And a huge thank you once more for a successful shoot day!

Kempston is the ultimate gem. There is a reason why this place is really busy. It has everything that you could possibly want in one space - and you are looked after like a queen or king! Andy, who is the owner is the most brilliant kind and considerate person his pre-cons are excellent, and that is extremely important when booking the studio days. He is always around when you need him so for security purposes that is so important when your a model. He provides so many different drinks and a local sandwich supplier provides lunch!! What more can you ask for? I felt so comfortable and enjoyed my time at Kempston a lot and I’m hoping to book another couple of days as I enjoyed it so much :) if you havnt been to Kempston why not? You need to book in there and see what it’s all about - thank you Andy for such a lovely couple of days :)

The best thing I can say about Kempston Studio is, I always seem to be there! The place is so versatile, with its multiple sets, which can be switched around very quickly. Andy is extremely knowledgeable and happy to help or leave you to it.
I have never had a bad shoot there and will be back again soon. Highly recommended.

I had an excellent visit to Kempston with Fretters. The studio is an Aladdin's cave of photographic opportunities with many sets available. Andy was on hand to welcome us with a cuppa and discussed our ideas and how he could help make them happen. Andy is so knowledgeable about scene setting and advising on various lighting options and camera settings. He soon had his sleeves rolled up, and we were ready to shoot within a few minutes of arrival.
Andy gave us privacy to work through our plans but was available to help when required. For me, this was the ideal balance in the studio. Towards the end of the shoot, he also suggested we try a different lighting technique which brought incredible results.
Altogether a great afternoon, and I would have no problem recommending Andy's Kempston Studio to any photographer or model.
PS He's such a nice guy to chat with as well.

Another fantastic couple of hours at Andy's Studio, this time with Antonia Jay. As always, Andy is very welcoming, on hand to help with anything you need and an all-around, genuinely nice person who also happens to make a great coffee. There's plenty of props, backgrounds, lights and so much more, Andy and his studio in Kempston comes highly recommended from me.

Once again had the fantastic experience to shoot at Andy's studio with the lovely Antonia and as always Andy made you feel at home with a welcome cup of coffee and then on to the shoot which Andy makes sure you get the full use of his great studio, Always happy to shoot there looking forward to the next time. All the best Andy

I had a second half day at Kempston studios working a on a 1-1 shoot and a 1-2 shoot over the course of the day with local photographers which was really enjoyable!
Andy is such a kind and thoughtful person and knowing I had had a few tough weeks had a bouquet of flowers waiting for me in the dressing room which was most thoughtful 🌹
Andys studio is a complete pleasure to work in and I just know I will be there lots! Highly recommended as always, Helen x

Attended my 3rd shoot at Kempston Studios today, shooting with Hannah Lou. The studio was extremely well equipped for what I wanted to shoot.
Andy was on hand to help with camera settings and lighting as and when I needed him. I hadn't shot flash properly, but Andy was able to help and answer all of my questions! The studio was clean and ready to go as soon as I walked in!
Thanks again for another great time at Kempston Studios! I highly recommend booking a shoot or Studio day here!
