I shot at Kempston Studio today for my second time, this being for a four hour shoot with Georgia Brown on the second of her two studio days over the weekend.

Kempston Studio is a great space to shoot. The owner, Andy, has done a great job of creating a very flexible and versatile studio which is full of options and possibilities. Andy himself cannot do enough to help and is clearly passionate and very knowledgable about his photography. As well as providing numerous cups of tea, he provides lots of hints, tips and advice.

Highly recommended.

Georgia Brown

don't tell anyone, but this is my favourite studio by a mile off to have the pleasure of working at, the day's just fly by Andy is an exceptional host, with every single last detail you could think of, he has already thought of it and made accommodations. The studio space is beyond adaptable with such ease you wouldnt believe, it really is one of those spaces you have to have been in to understand its true potential.

if you havent already you must check out what Andy has to offer down at Kempston!

Another incredible shoot here this time with Georgia Brown on her studio day. Andy always establishes such good rapport with the models, and there is always a light-hearted and friendly atmosphere - so the models are relaxed and feel at home.

As per usual he was ace with suggestions and advice re lighting, camera angles etc and always ensures everything is set up to perfection and that the resultant images are the best possible.

Nothing is too much trouble - and he had even sourced a real massage table for doing body-scapes since last time! We had to try it out and it was perfect especially for Georgia's spectacular technique.

Another really enjoyable session and some great images - and I'm back in a couple of days for more.

Another great shoot at Kempston, this time with Georgia Brown.

Got some fantastic shots. Nothing appears to be too much trouble where Andy is concerned. Plenty of helpful advice on tap, and I still haven't explored all the possibilities of this great studio.

I highly recommend it.

What a fantastic studio!! Andy has done amazing with this studio space the creativity that has gone into building this studio space is beyond brilliant and very inspiring. I could not believe how many different sets could be achieved in one space. I honestly could have shot there all day.

Luckily I have been booked to shoot at this fantastic studio again and cannot wait to create more images there.

As for the owner Andy...where on earth do I start! One great guy...welcoming, creative, genuine, lovely...I am sure I am forgetting something...OH god yes absolutely hilarious I could not stop laughing (obviously posing in-between laughs)

For photographers and models this is such a great space and owner I would jump at the chance to shoot there.

Can not wait for next month!

I want to say big thank you for yesterday's studio evening with Andy!

Everything was set up wonderfully in the studio. I felt very comfortable and at ease during our shoot and had such an amazing time!

I am looking forwards to seeing what we have created and we are already planning another shoot, which I can’t wait for😍

Had another shoot at Kempston Studio this time with IronB on her studio day.

Andy is always super helpful not only with arranging sets and lighting, but also with incredibly creative suggestions and advice on camera angles etc - but on this occasion he excelled even himself. Not only did he come up with some really beautiful sets, but he came up with amazingly creative lighting set-ups that were completely new to me.

In addition he always pushes me to experiment, and at the end we finished with the most incredible set-up involving multiple lights, colour gels, smoke machines, a beauty dish and other paraphernalia that left myself and Alisha in a clicking frenzy - and resulted in the most extraordinary and beautiful images! Not to mention being enormous fun!

Thank you Andy! Now what are you going to do for an encore?

Another tremendous shoot with Alisha at Kempston Studio.

Andy as always was vey welcoming and extremely helpful; great suggestions when you need them and he works hard to ensure you get the shots you want. Nothing is too much trouble for him...probably the best grip in Bedfordshire!!

Thank you Andy!

I had a fabulous studio day at Kempston Studio! It was my first time visiting the studio, there is so much to work with, no chance of running out of ideas!

I worked with some great photographers there and the day flew by. Andy was super helpful with lighting and always there for support. Andy is so passionate at what he does and makes sure the photographer and model leave with brilliant images.

I have already booked my next studio day there in December and can’t wait!

Thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

Had a shoot at Kempston Studio with the beautiful Caitlyn J on her studio day.

As always Andy was everywhere from tending to the model, supplying refreshments, suggesting creative settings, advising on camera settings and angles and doing all the hard work of putting up the sets and all the lighting. All with his trade-mark cheerfulness and making us laugh along the way.

I even got to try out the full-size perspex window he had made, spraying it with water to look like Caitlyn was out in the rain. And he was beavering away with the next set-up while we were shooting with the last.

He always manages to make it extra creative and with a fun atmosphere so it is always a joy to shoot here.

I am already booked in for several more sessions.

Very highly recommended.

Had a lovely first visit to Kempston on Sunday, attending a models studio day. It was a great shoot and event well run by Andy and with a lovely model.

The studio is well appointed with a variety of props and sets that can easily be moved to create a specific look. Andy was always on hand to assist and makes a good cuppa!

I already have another visit booked and am sure I will be back again after that.

Love shooting at Kempston Studio, it has a great variety of sets, easily changeable quickly. Used 2 I had not shot before and it was all very easy. As much help as you need is readily available and Andy make it all run smoothly. Highly recommended and I will be back.

Another great shoot at one of Andy's studio days, this time with Caitlyn J.

Andy is always extremely helpful and happy to suggest ideas to get the best out of the available kit so I can create amazing images (by my standards). I always come away having learnt something new.

Andy is down to earth, patient and willing to help get the perfect images. The studio has a decent variety of scenes which help to get great images. Thanks for the help with the lighting. Would recommend.

My second shoot at Kempston Studio went really smoothly. Atmosphere is consistently friendly, relaxed and professional. You won’t be disappointed in his studio or model studio days.

Anna Fyre Starter

Had my second shoot with Andy who owns the studio and as always I’m thrilled with what we have made! Andy was very helpful when it came to light my makeup bag was still at home! But we went to the shop and sorted that! This was my first time doing bodyscape and I really pushed my levels and Andy was very comfortable to work with and is always handy with important information/tips and tricks. Can’t wait till I’m back!

I had a 2 hour shoot at Kempston Studio today..the first photoshoot since last February. The owner of the studio, Andy, made me feel very welcome as soon as I arrived. The studio is well proportioned with several areas to shoot in depending upon what type of scene one wants. Loads of accessories, and all the lighting gear that one could wish for. I stayed with a plain white background, which Andy very kindly set up for me as well as placing the lights where I required them. I shot tethered, and I was very pleasantly surprised when Andy asked if I wanted my laptop to be connected to the studio's external monitor. The shoot went extremely smoothly, and the time just flew. Thank you Andy, it was great to meet you and to work in your super studio. See you next week! I can well recommend Kempston Studio to any photographers, great space, and lots of help at hand if you require it.

Nice and easy Studio to work at. Lots of sets to choose from and everything moves around very quickly. As much help provided as you require, facilities spot on. 2nd shoot here but there will be more to come. Highly recommended.

I had a great and successful studio day at Kempston Studio.

I was surprised and happy to see that I actually have met the owner a few times before! A familiar face always lights up my day!

I worked with various photographers on the day that were all lovely and very creative individuals.

I definitely would love to book some dates for 2022!

Highly recommended and versatile studio :)
