Wow! Another amazing shoot at Kempston Studio. This place never ceases to amaze me with the variety of sets, backdrops and lighting available not to mention the lovely owner Andy. For the eight hours I was working here, I worked with four photographers, the variety of shots we all took were creative yet different from one another showing just how creative the studio and photographers are. Each corner is different their is so much creativity in one place. Andy is a great host and I feel comfortable and love shooting here.

Definitely recommend working at Kempston

I had a wonderful opportunity to photoshoot at Kempston Studios at Bedford. It was a studio day with one of my favourite models Nicola aka Bambii eyes who suggested me when we collaborated in September. This was my first time at Kempston Studios and I was amazed by the studio arrangements and facilities. The lighting arrangements are great but the biggest plus point unlike I have seen any other studio so far was the ability to convert into different furnished sets e.g. cosy living room, bedroom, vintage office. Andy was very helpful and was very quick in changing the sets in between the costume change. He was also very helpful in suggesting different mood boards and setups. I’m also amazed by the wardrobe of clothes and accessories. It helped me to use a couple of costumes that I had in my mood boards. A big thank you to Andy and Nicola for introducing me to this fantastic studio. We got a lot of amazing images ☺️. I highly recommend togs and models to shoot at this studio and I will be definitely shooting over here many more times in the future.☺️👍

I had a studio day at Kempston Studio earlier this week.

Andy has put a lot of effort into decorating the studio and there's lots of awesome props and lighting options.

Andy is very helpful, kind and welcoming and I always enjoy shooting at the studio.

Thanks and hope to come back soon!

I had my first shoot at Kempston Studio today.

The studio is run and owned by Andy. Andy has built a great studio with some lovely sets and props, and he is always on hand to setup lights and offer advice if required.

Thoroughly enjoyed the four hour shoot and I will be back there later this month.

Highly recommended.

Another great shoot at Kempston Studio with Roxy M and another sell-out studio day.

A warm welcome and always on hand to help, Andy will make up pretty much any type of set you want, set up lights and offer advice if asked. Nothing is too much trouble and its always a pleasure; can’t recommend highly enough

Makes a great cup of tea too!

Really excellent first visit to this gem of a studio. Andy was a superb host, helpful throughout my session and ensured I made the most of my time.

It's remarkable how many options there are in such a compact space - I felt I could shoot all week without running out of backgrounds or props.

Hope I can return soon, highly recommended.

Andy helped me set up the studio so that I could get a shot I had envisaged. This was no small task and he also helped me when my camera started playing up. I was very happy to come away with the pictures I got when it could all have gone so very wrong due to no fault of his. Thanks, Andy!

This was my first visit to Kempston Studio and I truly hope it’s not my last! I had 2 sold out studio days and hand on heart they have been one of the most successful and loveliest studio days I have done. It was so well organised from organising it and advertising it to the running of it all the way to the end.

As the model I was incredibly well looked after Andy the studio owner was amazing he made sure I was always safe and happy. That I had plenty of water/tea/coffee! There was plenty of snacks and he even provided lunch too! Honestly I was so so well looked after, the studio was clean and warm and the models have a fab private changing room too! He even essentially was my taxi for the 2 days too!

Andy is fab being incredibly helpful with the photographers on the day if they needed it. Everyone was truly welcomed and taken care of! Kempston studio is fantastic and Andy the owner is amazing! Models if you get a chance to hold a studio day here you must and photographers it is a fab studio get booking! Thank you so much Andy and hope I can come back soon!

I hired Andy's studio today for the morning and I can honestly say that it was a great decision. Andy was super helpful with lighting suggestions and setting up the scenarios exactly as we wanted. I cannot thank him enough for making me feel welcome and helping me to get some fabulous images from the shoot.

His light wall is definitely a plus point and his huge range of equipment, backdrops and props is amazing.

I absolutely and unreservedly recommend using Kempston Studio.

My first time at Kempston Studio - certainly won't be the last. Andy has put together a great studio space which is versatile and through the nifty use of moveable/foldaway walls the studio has more sets than you think when you walking off the street.

Andy kept the refreshments flowing and was always ready to help move props etc. etc. during the day, and to lend a hand with lighting etc. as required.

Plus there's a wonderful cafe just round the corner that serves good food at reasonable prices.

Highly recommended. Shaun

Over the last few years I have utilised Kempston Studios on many occasions! And what a treat it is! :-D :-D :-D

Since my very first shoot at Kempston I have always felt instantly relaxed and always pleasantly greeted and welcomed into the studio by the lovely owner Andy (Who I cannot praise enough!) :-)

Andy is beyond amazing. He has become a really trusting friend and colleague. Not only the studio owner but a respected professional photographer himself, who assist you and understands the feel your seeking to achieve. Always available if you need him, but leaves you totally alone to create with no pressure or interference. :-)

Andy organises both model days and evenings, Great chance to work with new people and get acquainted with so many other photographers and models.

The studio itself is very diverse, You have the selection of different coloured backdrops and themed sets. Tea and coffee facilities also available! (Very Important for us Brits!) :-p

No hesitating. Send that e-mail and get booked in! You wont regret it :-)

Very highly recommended by me :-)

Thank you Andy

Best Wishes

What an amazing studio Kempston is and run by the lovely Andy who is so welcoming and made me feel instantly comfortable for my recent sold-out studio weekend,

Throughout the weekend Andy was sure to make the weekend of shoots were comfortable, fun and successful! He showed so much care and kindness in ensuring I was happy, well fed and enjoying every shoot the whole weekend. The studio is amazingly equipped and gave so many different options with lighting, backdrops/sets and props, which produced outstanding images with every photographer.

Andy is a fantastic host and studio owner and his passion shows in his presence and commitment to each photographer new and old that shoots in the studio. I definitely will be returning soon and recommending Kempston Studio to any future photographers/models. A massive thank you again to Andy and cannot wait for my second visit hopefully soon!😊

Made a last minute booking onto a studio day shoot. Great communications with the studio owner, Andy. All necessary details and information sent speedily and the booking process couldn’t have been any smoother.

Studio was easy to find and has parking.

Inside well designed to maximise use of the space. Loads of lighting gear - continuous and flash with good range of modifiers. Andy was a great host, very welcoming. Helpful when needed and out of the way when not.

I really enjoy Kempston Studio for booking as Andy makes everything perfect from rigging things up for shoots to showing me camera settings,adjusting white balance, Andy truly makes it such an enjoyable but also learning from booking his studio.

Brilliant studio & owner.

Thankyou,

Alec 😀.
