Had another studio day at Kempston Studio :) it was another sold out day and had a great time! Andy is always friendly, helpful and accommodating. He offers teas and coffees throughout the day and picked me up from the station. He also bought me breakfast and some lunch :) thank you Andy for being so professional and kind. Thanks Louisa

I had my first shoot at Kempston today with a visiting model, Louisa.

Andy was fantastic on the pre shoot comms, directions and general info regarding the shoot.

On arrival, we discussed what I wanted to start with (portraits), and straight away Andy was off setting up lighting, backdrops and on hand as I took a few test shots, to help with little lighting adjustments.

As I moved through a few different sets at the studio, Andy was there to move furniture, set up different lights and again help with ensuring I was all good for shooting.

This was my first visit to Kempston but I’m already looking at my next shoot there.

I 100% recommend Andy and his fabulous Kempston Studio.

I had the pleasure of staying for 2 days in Kempston. They were wonderful days, full of energy, work and a lot of professionalism.

Andy was super professional and kind, he did not make me miss anything: he came to pick me up at the station, he took my lunch and he did everything so that I was comfortable.

The studio is very professional, everything is taken care of in the smallest details and the photographers are all very professional.

Thank you for these two days!! See you in January!! It’s always a pleasure to work with you.

Ps: Andy’s cappuccino is the best

This was my first visit to Kempston Studio with Kelsey as the model. Andy immediately made me most welcome and gave continuous help and support throughout the enjoyable and productive photo session. I have had the privilege of shooting with Kelsey before and was so glad to be able to take advantage of Kempston's wide range of props and backgrounds. I look forward to returning soon and totally recommend the Studio as a top-notch location.

Another fantastic shoot at Kempston. Andy was the perfect host, and Kelsey the perfect model. I had a great time, got some superb images, and look forward to my next visit already. I got lucky, as when I arrived the existing setup was just right. I still haven't explored all the possibilities here, so I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I was delighted to come back to Kempston again… this time for a week!

Despite having some cancellations (in advance), we still managed to get around 39 hours of work, including a shoot that took place outside of the studio.

I always enjoy shooting at Kempston. Andy is very hospitable. He provided lunch each day and always made sure I had a drink.

During shoots, he is fantastic at helping set up the lights for photographers and assisting when needed. This is something that makes the studio different to others - he is on hand and always ready to help!

I look forward to coming back, I have no doubt that I’ll visit many more times!

I had my first ever experience shooting in a studio this afternoon with Kelsey as my model.

Andrew the studio owner was most welcoming with cups of tea which believe me I needed after a 4 hour hour journey due to the closing of part of the Dartford Crossing. He helped me set up my Camera in manual based on his knowledge of the lighting we used on 3 different sets. I learnt a lot in the 2 hour shoot and am grateful for Andrew's patience and teaching which will improve my photography going forward. Thank you very much.

I highly recommend Andrew and his studio to all photographers. Both his venue and knowledge are ideal for those wanting to shoot in a studio but have never tried it thank you again Andrew .I hope to visit your studio again in 2025 and tap once again into your Knowledge

An excellent shoot at Kempston Studio, despite difficult and unusual circumstances. There had been a major road traffic accident on the approach to the studio. This meant that everyone arrived late, and sessions had to be delayed. The studio rapidly and effectively re-arranged times , and every one had their full allocated shooting time, with no-one being inconvenienced.

As always, as much help as needed was readily available in terms of setting up requested backgrounds and lights and adjusting props. As someone with limited mobility, I found this particularly helpful, and the co-operative attitude of the staff made everything easy. After a near-continuous flow of shooting for two hours, some excellent results were achieved. Thank you!

Just completed two shoots within five days at the studio, always a pleasure to visit. Andy is always very welcoming and on hand with help and advice when needed which is greatly appreciated. I have worked at the studio a number of times now and it always a first class experience. Communication from the get go is always spot along with organising and confirming the booking which is very professional. The studio is extremely well equipped and gives a lot of variety and choice for sets it is a very versatile set up. I very much look forward to returning in the near future....highly recommended...

Last weekend I shot for the first time at Kempston Studio. Andy was brilliant and supportive throughout my shoot with Eloise.

I attended the Audrey and Marilyn group shoot yesterday. Only my 2nd time working in a studio environment and it couldn't have been better! Andy was very welcoming and had made a brilliant shoot plan. He talked me and the other photographers in the group through the settings and why the lighting setup was being used in each situation. He kindly kept the coffees and snacks coming too!

A fantastic experience, I will be returning!

I’ve been shooting regularly now for some time. Andy runs a great studio. He’s so helpful and friendly, and everything that you need is there, even if he needs to put it together for you. Here’s to many more great shoots.

This was my second time at the studio and Andy was again very welcoming and well organised. It was clear that he had a very good, relaxed relationship with the model (Sophia Gray) which immediately put me at ease and made the experience really enjoyable and productive. Throughout the session Andy was quick to offer advice and assistance which was gratefully accepted. I look forward to booking another session before too long.

A very versatile space with a great range of sets. Andy if friendly, welcoming, accommodating and eager to assist wherever necessary.

Definitely recommended

I've had the pleasure of working with Andy at Kempston Studio on numerous occasions. Not only is Kempston Studio an amazing space to create stunning images, but Andy has become a dear friend. He always goes the extra mile, from picking me up from the station to surprising me with delicious pecan pastries every morning. As a talented photographer himself, Andy always brings fresh ideas and perspectives to our shoots. I highly recommend Kempston Studio and working with Andy!
