This is an absolutely amazing studio and Andy/Creative Lens is a fantastic photographer! Complemented by great chat which made the shoot pass extremely quickly!!

The lighting is set up perfectly and there are many many back drops and sets to play with.

There are a huge amount of outfits and equipment that I can't name! And best of all there is a fan which improved every single photo!

Andy is a great guy and makes you feel very comfortable during a shoot. Highly recommend studio and photographer!

I had a great shoot at Kempston Studio with Angel Black. Andy is great and works hard to make these session a success, particularly as I had battery issues and luckilly Andy had one I could use to get through the shoot. Always welcoming and supportive with a supply of beveregies to keep you going, quick set changes and support with the lighting. A great place to get creative. thanks

Another great shoot at the studio and as usual Andy is a great host and helpful in setting up if required, I can highly recommend the studio again

Had my first shoot at Kempston recently and loved every minute of it. I showed up the day before and was met with a warm welcome by Andy who showed me the studio, it's like aladins cave!

I was there for a duo day with Angel Black which ran like clockwork.

The studio has everything you could need and want, and Andy is a dream host, always making sure models are looked after, fed and comfy.

I highly recommend Kempston and would happily travel there and work there again. Thank you Andy for being fabulous x

I have just spent another two days at this wonderful venue and didn't want to leave! My first was a duo day with Ellie Fox, which is the first duo I've hosted at Kempston and from the start of the day to the end Andy was super helpful. Tea and coffee were on tap as well as soft drinks!

Kempston is obviously an amazing venue and has so many places to shoot that even after multiple visits I still don't think I've shot in each set up there is. The lighting equipment provided is fantastic as is the natural light pouring through the huge window. Each area has a few props in which really help to widen the shoot possibilities in that set. The props have been carefully thought about to work well with the vibe.

Andy, was as usual, super helpful, offering his help if required otherwise happy to stay out of the way. The studio is truly wonderful and works for every style of photography. I love working at Kempston and will definitely return in the future!

Thankyou for a wonderful few days! 1000% recommended.

On Thursday I attended a shoot for the first time at Kempston Studio and was very pleased. Andy was friendly and could not have been more helpful. Assisting me with lighting where needed, changing sets and giving advise when required making my first visit a calm and relaxing enabling me too come away with excellent images. I would not hesitate to recommend Kempston Studio. I look forward to my next visit in early October.

This was my first time at the excellent Kempston studios, where I was attending a Model Studio Day booking with the lovely Serenity.

The booking process was easy, the studio easy to find and parking was good. The studio is well run by the owner Andy who clearly cares for the welfare of the models, whilst ensuring photographers can get the photos they want. The studio is well equipped and has numerous sets that Andy will set up for you. He is very knowledgeable, helpful with lights, and a great person to chat with.

I am pleased to say that I have 2 more bookings coming up soon, which I am very much looking forward to. This is the perfect studio for both beginners and experienced photographers, I highly recommend this studio.

My first visit to Kempston Studio. I had heard great things about this studio and they were all true.

Andy runs a well organised and versatile set up and is always about to help with the sets and lighting. I asked for a particular lighting and this was provided without fuss. The studio is very popular and most of his studio days are booked up , so early booking is advised.

Highly Recommended.

I had my first experience of shooting remotely at a studio yesterday with Ashley Ashton hosted at Kempston Studio and it was a fantastic experience!

Great sets, great lighting and a relaxed environment coupled with the gorgeous Ash, meant this shoot was a great success and I can't wait to get the images back!

I can’t thank Andy enough for getting me, a relative beginner with no experience of flash photography, up and running. It really helps to have someone knowledgeable around to check technicalities and Andy was very helpful. Plus, he's a great guy to chat with. :-)

I hope that, at some point, in the future, we can meet in person. Thanks again!

To summarise .....

Andy, you are the best !

Tell me if there’s a better way to spend a miserable Saturday morning than shooting the stunning Ashley Ashton at Kempston Studio because I’m not sure you can beat this!

When some remote slots became available I jumped at the chance to shoot Ashley in a studio setting and I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

Having done a number of remote shoots with Ashley in various locations this was up there with the best.

The studio looked amazing and Andy was a brilliant mine host! I can’t thank him enough for the all the help and advice he offered throughout the shoot.

Ashley was her usual brilliant self and her attention to detail is second to none.

I can’t thank her enough for bringing on the quality of my photographs over the last few months. The fact the the last one I have posted on Instagram has almost received 1000 likes is all credit to her!!

Although I have only seen BOC images I am sure I have some more stunning images to add to my portfolio.

Hopefully next time I meet Andy it will be in person and I can move the sets and lighting but I will accept the cup of tea Andy!!

Many thanks again to you both for a great shoot.

I had my first shoot at Kempston Studio yesterday and would highly recommend it to any photographers and models.

Andy the studio owner was very helpful and keen to ensure that all those at this small group shoot, with the wonderful Sophia Gray and Kate Star, got the best possible images. Refreshments were made available throughout the three hour shoot.

Communication before the shoot was very good and the booking system worked well. The studio has a wealth of different settings and is extremely flexible with the ability to change backdrops, room sets and lighting patterns using sliding panels and drapes etc.

I am looking forward to my next visit to the studio in a few weeks time. Thank you Andy, Really enjoyed my visit to your very well equipped studio and meeting you for the first time/

I have worked at Kempston Studio several times now, Andy is always a welcoming host, for this occasion it was a colour explosion workshop featuring Kate Star and Sophia Gray. Overall a brilliant shoot, very well organised and something a little different and not a theme I had shot before. Andy's eye for detail and excellent lighting and sets once again spot on which lead to some excellent images captured. I do have dates booked at the studio going forward so as ever highly recommended!!

After a sensational second visit to Kempston Studio for a session with the wonderful EloiseH, I was left in no doubt that Andy's sole purpose at any shoot is that photographers should be the best version of themselves, and walk away with a portfolio of images to be pleased and proud of.

It was an absolute pleasure to be returning to a studio I was already familiar with, which definitely allowed for some detailed planning beforehand, and Andy's welcome is always warm, no matter what time of the day a session is scheduled. Absolutely nothing ever seems too much trouble for Andy, so after a chat about my intentions, he busied himself arranging the studio, as well as giving me some invaluable teaching and advice about how to get the best out the studio's comprehensive range of lighting equipment. I don't mind admitting that I find the concept of using studio lighting all a bit overwhelming, but with Andy's generous advice the mystique began to evaporate. After that, Andy was constantly on hand, or otherwise sat quietly in the background, but always happy to make creative or technical suggestions whenever I got stuck!

You couldn't wish for a friendly place than Kempston Studio to experiment and grow as a photographer. I came away with some amazing images, having learnt so much, from a studio owner who has every photographers best interests at heart.

I feel sure it won't be long before I'm back for another shoot. Thank you, Andy.

Another excellent shoot at Kempston Studio, this time at Eloise H studio day.

As always Andy is welcoming and hugely helpful setting up the lights and backgrounds so you make the images you are looking for.

Totally recommend and look forward to visiting again.

I have been to Kempston Studio several times now and held studio days there, Andy is just lovely! He is a fab studio owner, he really does prioritise models comfort and safety. He is a true professional and always polite and respectful! He is great with amateur through to professional photographers and is always on hand to help when needed!

I really do love going there and always look forward to it! He takes proper care of the models making sure they have lunch and takes them to and from the station! I don’t have anything but positives to say and hope I can return there again! A fab studio that has a wealth of opportunities, lots of props and space! Wholeheartedly recommended!
