What a wonderful first visit to this outstanding studio, instantly inspiring as you walk in and look around all the possible sets you could play with and well you wait until you see the Narnia wardrobe collection of looks Paol has to offer!

Pre-coms before attending were impeccable and meeting the Paol in person was a delight, a very warm, professional, kind gentleman whose hosting was enough to make me want to return.

Wonderful day from start to finish and well this certainly will not be my only visit to this gold mine studio, I look forward to many more to come.

Thank you for having me,

As her tog for the afternoon, I need to echo all that Morticia Avery has said. Paol is kind, attentive and well organised. His studio is loaded with lights, props, costumes and inspiration. We threw out all prior plans and ran with what was available instead - and I don't regret that for a moment.

I will be back.

First time visiting and using the studio, what can I say .. its a great studio, large, has a number of sets and an infinity curve with a lot of scope for doing many different styles of shots.

There are plenty of props available and it becomes a real Aladdin's cave when you find the other 2 storage area's that are full of clothes and props for the studio.

Paol looked after me while I was there and nothing was too much trouble for my shoot.

Many thanks and recommended.

What a wonderful 2 day experience this was!!

A brand new concept was put to me by Paol, which involved me spending two days shooting up at Paol's cottage and Studio!!

A fabulous experience and one I am already looking forward to doing all over again in July and August!! A fantastic social evening, followed by some beautiful 1-2-1 shoots made it so much fun and incredibly varied!!

What a guy Paol is too I should mention, nothing is too much trouble and he takes model safety and comfort extremely seriously but is also capable of making the whole shoot a blast!!

Highly recommend Paol, Liber8 studio and all those who attended the social evening!!

Thank you so much!! Bring on July's madness!!

I arranged a shoot at Liber8 with Miss Layla and was met by Paul, we had a good chat in amongst and after the shoot. He helped move furniture and set up the lighting, found a cracking spot for me to shoot in.

I'd give Paul and the studio a resounding 11/10 and I look forward to returning in the near future.

Highly recommended and thanks once again Paul, sorry for the late reference BTW :)

I booked the studio with one of my photographers and on arrival was welcomed by Paol who is amazing and lovely and the studio is probably one of the best studios around, full of props and outfits to choose from and refreshments also, I was asked to do a club night and everyone was very welcoming I was very happy with the images from the night and will be using the studio again for future projects and the building itself is truly outstanding Thankyou for making me feel so welcome

Fab studio in the North West.

I had reached out to Miss Layla to shoot and she suggested the studio.

I was greeted by owner Paol, who was very friendly and engaging. He showed me round and showed me how the lights all worked and then left me too it.

The studio is very well equipped, with numerous lights, filters and boxes.

Massive quite back drop giving ample space to shoot. On top of this there are also nooks and crannies, baths, settees and even a piano to create the vibe. As its in an old warehouse there are also options to shoot with pillars and columns.

Fab shoot, got some amazing images and will defo be back.

Cheers Paol.

Very warm and friendly community full with fantastic energy and laid-back people!!

Had my first session at Liber8, Was a fantastic experience working with Paol and photographers in Liber8 community.

Paol picked me up from Preston train station and drove to the studio. I was very impressed with the studio! lots of set up and props and other things you could think of.

Our shoot went well and full with great energy and lovely people, with lots of creative ideas. During the shoot Paol always make sure that the model is feeling okay and comfortable. and paol drove me home after the shoot as i'm from far distant from the studio and it was dark at night.

Very glad to working together with Paol and thank you so much for a great day and experience,

Really looking forward to working together agin in the near future.

Paol hosted me this weekend for a studio day. I reached out to him after being in the area as someone recommended his studio.

His comms were spot on, he helped me book in photographers and the day ran smoothly.

The studio is a great space with lots of different set ups and props, costumes, lighting galore.

It also has fab natural light.

Paol ensured I was warm throughout the day with a great gas powered heater which is always a bonus as studios can get very cold and also refreshments and a catchy playlist.

Will definitely be back at Liber8 and highly recommend anyone in the area pays the studio a visit. :)

I had a great experience at Liber8 thanks for Paols organisation skills and warm welcome!

The studio is looking gorgeous with fabulous sets and improvements throughout, it was a great creative group who were very engaging and flexible with ideas and the time absolutely flew by!

I can't wait to be back and hope to organise some more time here soon. Thank you so much for a great night!

Excellent studio run by Paol. Lots of good lighting and many props. Very large space.

I shot Olga Solo here, another great shoot with one of the best models around.

Paol is very helpful and friendly.

Highly recommended.

Thanks Mike

Second shoot in Liber8 since Paol took over the studio space.

There is now a good range of sets at the studio. Also great using a studio with such a good number of lights and modifiers.

Looking forward to utilising the studio again soon

Wow! What an incredible shoot. Paul arranged to have two models myself and it’s me Aimee Louise for the Thursday evening group/social event and we just clicked straight away, we ended up doing a duo evening and my did sparks fly! Aimee is such a lovely person and talented model. I was thrilled Paul decided on two models I think it made the evening a fun one for everyone who came. Paul runs his groups slightly different to other group shoots I go to, it’s more social at liber8 the atmosphere is relaxed yet upbeat I think the photographers genuinely enjoy the social aspect where they can all mingle, chat and snack to their hearts content. As always a great time was had at liber8 which of course has my highest recommendations.

Thanks so much 😄

I had the pleasure of having my first shoot at Liber8 Studio organised by Purple Tog.

We had a lovely warm welcome from Paol and I was very grateful for the cup of coffee.

The Studio is amazing and huge, with so many props and set's, I feel I only just scratched the surface of all the possibilities and creativity that can be had in this Studio.

There's plenty of room for easy parking and a lift for my heavy suitcase. I greatly appreciated the large heater and the private changing room that was also heated. I will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommended to all other models and photographers.

This was my first visit to Liber8 Studio but it certainly won't be my last! Paol could not have been more helpful in changing the sets to suit different types of shot. There is a wide range of possibilities and a huge number of props, including dresses. I hope to be back soon.

I organised a last minute shoot with Paol at Liber8 studio having heard a lot about it and it was an absolute pleasure to get to work there!!

Liber8 is easy to find with plenty of parking available. There is a lift up to the studio (helpful if you pack as much as I do!) and the studio space itself is huge!!! There is a private dressing room area and plenty of props, outfits and goodies to use for shoots!!! - Paol has really turned this into the most amazing space with loads of options for backdrops and sets, not to mention his incredible collection of corsets!!!! Now that was exciting!!!

Alongside the actual studio space there are also some incredible long corridors, doorways, large natural window light areas and some real grungy walls and dark corners to play with - A models playground!!! Can't complain!!!

All in all a great visit to Liber8 and funnily enough will be returning this evening for one of their group events!!! Yippee!!! :D

I visited this fantastic local studio for the first time, for a casting that I'd placed.

And from start to finish, Paol was the most helpful host. Nothing was too much trouble.

He gave me a quick run down on what's what for my shoot but also explained about all of the other options available for future shoots.

A great environment and large space in which to shoot. Good facilities for both the model and photographer.

I can't wait to visit this brilliant studio again and again.

I had my first trip up to the studio recently, after I contacted Paol about stopping by on my way to Scotland!

The pre comms were amazing, Paol was so enthusiastic throughout and you can clearly see his passion for the studio which always helps!

I modelled for the Liber8 club night, which was lots of fun, we shot all the way from latex and a straight jacket to a beautiful evening gown (which just proves the versatility of this studio). There is an abundance of props and outfits at Liber8, Paol is super friendly and probably the most helpful person I have ever met! Everyone else was lovely, chatty and respectful throughout. Some even helping me with my outfits and taking some BTS videos for me.

I then had a studio day, where again I shot a good variety of sets against different backdrops with a few togs including Paol. The studio is a really good size and Paol has been sure to create ample storage space in other units so it doesn't get too cluttered!

I made use of some of the clothing (as well as my own) again and borrowed a few pairs of shoes from the bag fulls he has there!

The studio is highly recommended by me and I hope to be back again soon! :)

I was booked last min to attend a Thursday night social event.

I was made to feel very welcome and felt at home very quickly.

The studio has a fantastic set up with lots of different sets ready to use, outfits, props and there are beverages and cookies available!

I was treated with respect by everyone and have received some fantastic images.

I will be back !

Thank you
