Had an amazing experience at Paol’s Thursday night workshop at the studio last night. Upon arrival I was kindly greeted by Paol himself and introduced to all the other lovely photographers participating that evening - I was made to feel completely at ease and welcome. As this was partly a networking/social event, it was a great opportunity to chat and get to know the local photographers over a coffee and the large variety of snacks provided (yum 😋). The studio has great facilities, including a cute little dressing room for myself where I could hang my clothes up and touch up my makeup for shooting. The shoot itself was lively and energetic and I throughly enjoyed it - the photos we created look amazing! Thank you Paol for a fab experience and I hope to work with you again soon.

Firstly I'd like to apologise for not leaving a reference before now about this amazing studio and even more so the amazing new owner paol!

I've shot here several times now and seen how well and looked after the studio is by paol and by those that use it. Its got a lovely community of photographers that attend the studio nights and paol is on hand as and when needed and goes above and beyond to look after everything, especially the models.

I cant thank paol enough for letting me be involved in liber8 studio and for the amazing shoots we've done together. Thank you for all your kindness and help paol and can't wait to see the studio flourish even more ❤️

Had the pleasure to shoot at the new refurbished Liber8 Studio since Paol has taken it over. As I've worked with Paol a few times over the last couple of years, I've always known him as highly professional, friendly and caring. It's great to see that the studio is under great management, Paol has put in a lot of work, resources and care into it in a short space of time, and I'm looking forward to seeing it pay off and flourish. On this occasion I attended a group shoot which was well managed and organised, it was a fun but productive environment, and it was nice to see people coming together to help Paol achieve a successful group shoot. The studio has great equipment and various sets for variety and different tastes, it was a cold day so Paol made sure the heaters were running for mine and everyone's comfort. There's a nice and secluded changing room with mirrors and a separate heater. Overall, I enjoyed the shoot and can recommend to other models and photographers. Looking forward to shooting again.

Love this place. The range of accessories, the environment, the vibe and Paol being probably the most friendliest of studio owners I have had the pleasure to work with, make Liber8 one of the best in the north west. The value for money, too, is just hard to fathom for what is on offer. No brainer of a studio to book!

Wow! What a place.

What can I say about this studio other than it's one of the best I've ever seen/used

This huge spacious studio filled with treats and different sets to fit everyone's needs. Large wardrobe filled with amazing corsets and costumes and not to mention all the fun props.

Paol is extremely welcoming and hospitable and makes you feel immediately at ease, very innovative and full of ideas to help you fulfil your shoot.

Highly recommended, Particularly if you are a "alternative" or content creator This place will be perfect for you.

Will definitely visit again :)

Great spacious studio with gas heater than warmed things up surprisingly quickly. Paul very easy to deal with and helpful. Very well equipped with very large infinity wall (which i never use but i know plenty do)

Tons of stuff to explore, too much for this short session so will return.

Thanks for excavating the piano at short notice and i apologise i didn't wash my tea mug out!

I have used the studio under previous management and just had my first shoot since Paol has taken over, which went fabulously. I do know Paol previously and always had interesting chats and valuable exchanges not just photography related.

A lot of effort and work has gone into updating many aspects of the studio which are most welcomed, apparently with more to come.

I can't remember how many times I've shot here over the years quite a lot with many models and my good friend and model Kittiwara knocking out quite a slice of our 50+ FPIs here. It's a fabulous space with plenty of room to get the job done quickly and efficiently whilst still having a laugh along the way. Thanks Paol....we'll be back.

I just love what Paul has done with the studio, the transformation is simply unreal. You'll be spoilt for choice with sets and lighting! Absolutely loved my shoot here today and there will hopefully be several more to come.

I shoot for the first time at Liber8 studio last Thursday. I was nicely surprised by how big the studio is and by how many possibilities it offers. The studio has so many different sets/backgrounds available and a cute and cosy pink changing room with everything a model needs. There were also beautiful dresses and corsets.

Paol made sure that I was warm enough the whole time and he was very helpful to assist the photographer I was shooting with. He also listened to any suggestions to improve the studio and make it as comfy as possible for the models.

I would happily come back to Liber8 for a future shoot. Highly recommended!

I don’t add a reference every time I shoot at liber8 as I would clog up the reference section. 😂

I had another shoot here today with Bga images. We had a great day and loved seeing even more progress with the studio. Paul has done a phenomenal job turning the whole place around. I’m here regularly as I’m resident model and like to keep my bookings here as much as possible, it’s a safe friendly environment with everything you could need and want. Paul the owner is highly respected and very popular in the industry as a trusted yet very generous person always going the extra mile to make sure everyone has the best shoot. My upmost respect and admiration for not only Paul but the studio as it’s like a home from home. Highest recommendations.

I had a 1:1 shoot with Paol at Liber8 Studios and it went brilliantly. Paol made sure the studio was warmed up prior to my arrival and ensured I was comfortable throughout, checking temperature and offering refreshments. He has added lots of thoughtful touches to the studio and changing room, and there was some gorgeous ballgown dresses as well as a wealth of corsetry for styling options.

We worked mostly with the bed set by the window, refining and adjusting the backdrop, bed covers and sheer fabrics to add different moods, getting some very pretty, romantic style boudoir images., as well as some other areas of the studio and corridors. I'd happily return. Many thanks Paol!

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot at Liber8 studio organized by Paol! The pre-communication was excellent; Paol messaged me on the day of the shoot with all the necessary details. On the shoot day, he met me near the studio and kindly helped with my heavy bag, showing consideration. Once inside, he graciously offered me snacks and tea, displaying remarkable kindness and friendliness.

Paol gave me a tour of his spacious studio, featuring fabulous and diverse backgrounds, great props, fantastic lighting, and a gorgeous cyclorama. The studio is well-equipped, warm, and meticulously maintained.

The changing room was cozy and incredibly beautiful 🥰, equipped with a great mirror and everything a model may need. Before our shoot, we had a wonderful conversation; Paol showed me the amazing outfits in his studio and dozens of fantastic corsets neatly organized in a separate room. I was free to choose any corset I wanted, which was incredibly cool! 😍

The group shoot was easy-going and fun. Paol cared about my comfort throughout. He welcomed my suggestions and ideas warmly. He ensured the studio was warm, and all the photographers were very friendly and kind. I appreciate that Paul genuinely values creating a friendly and warm atmosphere for everyone! He aims to foster a community for photographers to communicate and have fun. There were plenty of delicious snacks, photographers walking around, chatting with each other, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere!

Thank you so much for having me in your studio! It was a fantastic day, and I was thrilled to meet you and work in your amazing studio. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with you again. Thank you!

I went to the Thursday night event featuring Olga Solo and Miss Layla and felt completely welcomed by Paol and the other photographers. The studio was great to work in and Paol is constantly improving things. I didn’t visit before he took over so can’t compare to how it was before but it’s obvious that Paol is putting a lot of care and attention into making a great studio even better! I will be attending plenty more of the Liber8 events in the near future!

I thought I would post a casting to see how it did because it was my first one, it sold out as everyone is keen to use the studio. Not surprising as the place is amazing! I love working here and so do all the photographers I work with here. Paul has gone above and beyond, even down to the refreshments. He is a very generous person, I’m grateful for the opportunity to work at the studio regularly.

I have the very highest recommendations for liber8 and also for Paul too.

Thanks for everything 😊

The studio is like my second home, I’m there regularly as resident model, i of course try to take all my bookings to the studio. It’s friendly safe environment where I know I will be well looked after as all models and photographers are there. Paol the studio owner has made so many fantastic changes the studio looks incredible. There is opportunity for any style of shoot, a huge infinity curve plus lots of other sets, backdrops and lighting. A wonderful little changing room which is my cosy spot. A brew and snack station with Paol knows is my fave! Highest recommendation for the studio and the owner of course. See you soon! 😀

I have had quite a few shoots at this studio over the past few months and the improvements since it was taken over and renamed “Liber8” by Paol is amazing to say the least.

The studio has been repainted, cleaned, organised and de-cluttered. Some of the strobe lights are now suspended from the ceiling. There are now lots of high quality professional cloth backdrops, a selection of paper backdrops, white leather settee and semi permanent sets including a boudoir set and a dungeon set. I understand that more improvements and editions are to follow!

This is a “professional studio” by any standards and the studio owner is an experienced photographer on hand for any help required.

I recommend Liber8 studio to all photographers and models as it is a great place to shoot.

Many thanks Paol for giving me the privilege of working at your studio and I look forward to working there many times in the future.

The Phoenix has risen & what a stunner this one already is with even more to come. I was at the studio last night for the relaunch of Thursday Club Nights. Paul has taken over the studio & has lots of plans for all sorts of improvements & events. It was already a fantastic studio but now with his added enthusiasm it is even better. If you went before you now need to go again & if you've never been to this studio I highly recommend it. Thank you Paul for a great night I will definitely be back.
