First time using Kempston Studio and what can I say was amazing studio and Andy was helpful throughout the whole shoot allowing me to move props and reorganising the sets to get images I wanted to get .

The studio itself is so versatile and ana amazing space to work with all the sets and props and the lighting make a photographers Aladdin's cave.

Will definitely need to organise more shoots at Kempston Studio as the time I had with the model was not enough to expand on all the others creative ideas we both were coming up with in the studio .

Thanks so much for being an amazing host and studio to shoot from

I’ve visited Kempston studio a few times now and I’m sure I’ll be back a lot as it is very local to me!

Andy the studio owner is very kind, helpful and full of important photography knowledge. He offers great tuition/advice to photographers that need some assistance.

The studio is very well equipped with a great lighting equipment, props and clothing. It’s a very versatile space offering multiple different sets and also paper backdrops.

I always enjoy coming to the studio and Andy makes a great cuppa! Already looking forward to my next shoot there! :)

Highly recommend

I've left glowing references previously for Andy & his studio but I just have to leave another after my latest shoot there.

I wanted some different lighting setups for the shoot so having tried a couple of things I asked Andy for his ideas. Andy was only too happy to suggest & try things, all of which were awesome!

Andy is always helpful & willing to share his experience & knowledge, which I greatly appreciate! :-)

Thanks again, Andy, you were a lifesaver! :-)

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I did my first studio shoot in Kempston and Andy was incredibly kind and helpful and very talented with setting up lighting. He helped me and Peter get some amazing pictures and was very friendly and I felt comfortable in his studio. He has loads of props for his models to use which really added to the shoot. I would recommend his studio!

Had a shoot here with the fabulous Rebecca Perry.

This time Andy set me up with a tethered shoot to his laptop and my hard drive which gave us instant feedback in Lightroom to the images we were getting - a whole new perspective.

AS always Andy set up perfect backdrops and lighting and Rebecca and I got some amazing images.

Andy came up with some great additional ideas along with additional costumes for Rebecca and the session was a runaway success.

It has to be said Andy is always tireless from looking after the models and making sure they are comfortable, to thinking of ways to enhance the shoot and setting up the next set in the background - so the whole show runs smoothly and seamlessly. Along with ample supplies of tea and coffee.

As always shooting here is a great success and an immense pleasure.

I had another brilliant shoot at Kempston this evening, It's my favourite studio to work at - warm, well equipped, with good lighting and a comfortable private dressing room. The studio is slightly different each time I go there, with furniture and thoughtfully composed sets. The best thing about Kempston Studio is Andy, who is one of the friendliest and most helpful studio owners that I know. This is one of the first studios that I would recommend to photographers as a place to work with me and I look forward to future visits, Highly highly recommended for models and photographers. :-)

Another great shoot at Kempston Studio, this time with the lovely Gina Ogden.

Always enjoy the shoot opportunity at this studio, as it has great sets, a extensive variety of coloured backdrops, good props etc; however, most of all I always get a very warm welcome from Andy with coffee and he always provides a nice balance between allowing you to get on with your shoot but always being available to promptly change sets and help with creative and lighting ideas.

Highly recommended.

Gina Ogden

I had another amazing sold out studio weekend at Kempston studio! The studio itself is wonderful with a huge verity of set ups alongside every coloured back drop you could want. Highest quality lighting & equipment. Andy is so so lovely and very helpful with absolutely anything. I alway enjoy coming to Kempston if you haven’t shot here before you definitely need to!

Thank you so much Andy for everything ☺️

I don’t shoot often but every time I have time to do it this has become my go to studio as I’m 100% sure I’ll get great results, the studio is packed with sets and everything can be moved around, the lighting equipment is top notch, has everything you need and beyond. Andy is a great person, always ready to help and I always have a laugh and a good mood when I’m there. I really recommend shooting at least once here and it will become addictive 😁

What a studio! This well-planned space transforms effortlessly and quickly between outfit changes, is warm and secure, easy to park at, and super-versatile.

It's a beautiful and well-managed studio, with more options than I've seen in one room before! The light-wall is very impressive, as is the overall craftsmanship of the studio!

Thank you for hosting me, Kempston Studio! I hope to return very soon!!

Had a shoot here today with the fabulous Lisa (Miss L Ginge).

I had a rather complicated shoot plan and Andy was very happy to be involved throughout not just setting up lighting and sets and with advice but also with holding various bits of apparatus and with dropping droplets of honey and various other eclectic items that I had elected to include in a very varied and complicated programme.

As usual he participated with enthusiasm and was more than happy to act as assistant and adviser and director and general factotum - and just made sure that everything ran absolutely smoothly.

Above all he kept us supplied with tea and whatnot and above all made our model welcome and comfortable and totally catered for.

Along with the good natured banter it all makes for a great atmosphere to work in and a most enjoyable session was had by all.

Thank you once again Andy!

Miss L Ginge

Oh this studio is just brilliant! From the moment you walk in you are welcomed and treated like an old friend. Andy is always lovely, kind and willing to be on hand when ever needed/demanded to be.

Andy has the perfect balance for a studio owner to be and has a great relationship with regular photographers and models (clearly why they all keep booking to go)

The studio is always clean and well kept...even a lovely candle lit for the dressing room...always a nice touch.

I always enjoy working here...if you haven't tried the studio do not hesitate and book it! Until next time.

Thanks again Andy!

I feel sooooo much regret to have gotten this far behind with references... Life got in the way in several ways last year and then we all just seemed to blink - and here we are! But the Yorkshire lass stubbornness in me refuses to disregard the terrific encounters I had in the year when models were building themselves back up after the devastation of the pandemic. It was a strange time, but also a joyous time because creativity could thrive once more! And it was during this time that I enjoyed my first ever shoot at the fantastic Kempston Studio! 🤩📷

It was really nice to see Andy again - we had worked together years ago when he was just doing shoots as a photographer himself. And now; to see him doing so well in a fantastic new shooting space that he himself works hard to bring nice experiences for other members of the community... Fair play! 😊 You've done a tremendous job fella, and Kemptson Studio is definitely a place I hope to shoot at again in the future. It's a studio with a great deal of set variety, great lighting facilities, all your creature comforts like refreshments on tap. Andy has got everything so well and it shows with how busy the place is. 👌

During my time at Kempston there were a whole range of concepts and looks made possible amid the different shooting areas: from classic art nude to dreamy glamour and even bodyscapes with oil and and water. I feel even then only the surface was scratched in terms of what was possible. But my super lovely photographer and I really had the best time working on specific looks and getting top quality results of the ideas we did shoot - and Andy's contribution as a studio owner/host always willing to help and having everything to hand played a big part in that success. He clearly had a great relationship with his clients and a totally "can do" attitude no matter what different photographer and models shooting preferences may be.

I had my own generous space in the studio to change, sort outfits out and make any alterations to my makeup. This is a big plus since most of us are guilty of our whole suitcases just exploding as we work through the shoot changing styles.🙊 It's really nice to be given a decent space for this and not have to struggle - this is worth noting for duo shoots as well where more than one model may be working. Between sets there was delicious herbal tea on offer as well; to be honest the whole atmosphere and the way I was looked after was the cherry on top of a venue which already ticked the box in offering ideal photo shooting conditions. 🙌 You are of course on the look out for a studio which is going to do your shoot justice from the creative and technical side of things... But from a models perspective (especially when you are run ragged on a tour) being made to feel like your safety, comfort and working conditions matter are a big deal and something we always talk about to each other when comparing shoot venues. 🙂

Safe to say that Andy has got everything so right with Kempston. I had the nicest shoot here and I do hope it's not too long before I can come back!

Very highly recommended!

Had a shoot here with the lovely Keira Lavelle.

As always Andy was instrumental in making this a striking success.

From making Keira welcome and comfortable to setting up sets and perfect lighting arrays and suggesting props and improvements at every stage of the way he made sure that the shoot was a great success - important when you have one of the most versatile and sought after models at your collaboration.

The shoot was an enormous success - in no small part due to Andy's constant attention to detail, and to keeping everything running smoothly and making certain that the images were a success.

It was an amazing shoot and I think Keira enjoyed it - I certainly did and we got some fantastic images.

Thank you Andy!
