What a great studio, warm welcoming and so helpful

I booked the studio for two hour shoot with Bobbi Castle as the studios I normally use were busy or awkward for Bobbi to get to. I was not disappointed, I found Simon to be just about the ideal balance of helpful and respectful he was there when we needed him fir changing sets and lights keeping us refreshed but allowed us to work uninterrupted giving advice from time to time when asked.

The studio itself is an aladin's case of possibility and I only scratched surface of what's available

I would highly recommend this studio to any photographer of any level it is superb with so many possibility

What a fabulous first visit to an absolutely fabulous studio! I’ve been wearing to come to Loud for literal years now, and after Si reached out to see if I’d come I jumped on it! What’s a great space this is! I was very impressed with how quickly Si switched up sets and lighting to suit each look I came along with. I was well looked after on the day, kept warm and hydrated with ample breaks if i needed. I can’t wait to return already!

A very high recommended studio.

Best wishes

Booked Loud for a shoot today with a photographer I've shot with numerous times. Si (studio owner) was on hand and super attentive to help with anything we needed (but trusting enough not to watch over like a hawk). Tea and coffee on hand, and he brought out portable heaters due to it being minus stupid outside. Also really understanding that I was slightly late due to a minor car accident on the ice on the way to the studio! I've been to this studio a few times now for Creative Nights and love it's set up - looking forward to my next visit. Recommend!

I always have fun when I come to Loud!

This time I had a full weekend at the studio (Sorry Simon!) One day of 1-1's and another day of group shoots.

I had such a laugh and they're such a lovely bunch of photographers that use the studio, the day just flies by with the fun and laughter!

Simon is an amazing studio owner. He has pretty much everything on hand and when I came in with a pretty basic idea for the next day of a bubble gum set, he ran with it and made a whole set and handmade props for me to use on it. He blows me away.. (Did you get it?!)

I couldnt recommend this studio more!

Thanks so much for having me, Ive even booked back in for the summer and I cant wait!

Another great event set up by simon today at loud photography studios, Always a pleasure to visit the studios and have a good time getting some great shots with the models that are provided.

Simon always has some great ideas and knowledge to help you out in your shoots and along with being just a generally great person.

Highly recommend anyone to use the studio for shoots if in the northeast of england.

I shot for the first time today at Loud and Flashy and had a brilliant time. A very spacious and warm studio. Simon is on hand and helps out everyone so much. He is very passionate about everyone getting what they want.

I hope we can work together ourselves soon :)

Highly recommend this studio!

Had my first group shoot at Loud, Simon was an excellent host, studio was very good. Free (on a Sunday), parking.

Session was with Bobbi Castle & several distinct sets were quickly prepared & all studio kit worked well.

THANK YOUUUU!!! For booking me and giving me the opportunity to come and work for you and the guys in your studio. Arriving around 10 minutes late (although everyone was aware), I was met with a warm atmosphere. From the people and the temperature.

There are endless sets and props to use in the studio and a gorgeous windows for natural light. Lights, gels, you name it this studio has it for photography purposes. The studio is clean, unlimited drinks, music played all day. My 8 hours absolutely flew by and I hope to be back again at some point this year!

Not a negative thing to say and I absolutely recommended to all!!!! xX

I’m ridiculously late leaving this feedback because I’m a hopeless pea brain who completely lost track of/managed to miss out a whole weekend of references from a North-East visit! During that visit; I returned to the epic venue that is Loud And Flashy for an organised group shoot - all the right words for endless credit towards the studio and Simon were there in my brain... I just forgot to engage it and write them down/make it official! 🙈

So this is the place to be if you find yersen’ up North with the weirdos. 🤣 Fortunately; they invite weirdos from Yorkshire to come and model; so I was lucky enough (twice now!) to experience the full Loud and Flashy group shoot madness and creativity. 😁 Not only was it a fun day with so many lovely faces and enthusiasm, but Simon who runs the events literally gave it blood, sweat and tears to ensure that the photographers who attended came away with some utterly killah images! He takes every liberty to put effort into creating something spesh, manages and maintains a fun working atmosphere, and happens to have quite a nice/versatile premises too! 😃

I actually shot here twice over the same weekend: the day before I was here with a photographer for an independent booking, and on the Sunday for the group shoot. Simon ran around on both days accommodating us to the best of his ability: literally being on-hand to build up the sets and lighting for my photographer and I on the Saturday as we moved around the studio, and then looking after an entire group on the Sunday! I don’t know how he does it! But he provides a bloody good service. 😊 He’s very much a people-person so he’s great at what he does with managing the groups and also finding out what people want in images: it doesn’t matter if a visiting model/photographer/other creative might even be inexperienced and not quite know what they’re after... Simon can help on all aspects with his superb lighting knowledge and knowing his studio down to every corner/light/modifier. We actually even got the chance to shoot for a few minutes per set ourselves on the Sunday! Oh that was mad... 😂 Simon getting down with all the quirky angles to get the shot - see, he’s not only a perfect studio host, but a great photographer in his own right too! 👌

The studio offers sooo much in variety: something for everyone and for every mood/style. There’s backgrounds of multiple colours, props galore, natural light and physical sets. Never will you come here and be short of things to do. 😃 On both my days working here - the time just flew! Everyone I worked with had great use of the facilities here which gave such diverse results from one set/photographer to the next. You’ll never make the same image twice! It’s also got perfect facilities (private) for models; a good makeup area and hot bevvys on tap! 😋

Everyone I worked with was happy as Larry and great people. For the groups - Simon vets everyone carefully so you know you’re getting a good bunch of peeps. The laughter/chatter and banter just went on and on. 😆 But with all the professional vibes that you would expect.

So yeeeeaaaahhhhh!!! Course I recommend Loud And Flashy! Think that’s pretty obvious. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you ever so much Si!

Attended a Creative night group shoot at the studio. A first class studio numerous sets, lights, props and plenty of room.

Simon was great, on hand to help with the sets and offer advice so you could get the best out of the nights photography.

Great session at Loud and Flashy Studio, this being a 1-2-1 session with model Coral Elizabeth. Simon was very friendly and helpful with setting up the shots and was able to give good advice on lighting set-ups, etc. The studio is well equipped and was at a comfortable temperature. There are good precautions in place for the present situation and there has been a bit of a freshen-up during the lockdown period, particularly with improvements to the model's changing facilities.

I have shot at Loud and Flashy many times before, more often for group shoots. Highly recommended.

I’ve been to the studio before for independent bookings, but have literally been chatting to Simon via email forever about modelling for one of his events (my fault it took so long to plan not his!) Then, finally; it all came together and we had a date booked and something to look forward to in the diary as I had heard many good things about the way Simon runs things from other local models and photographers alike. :)

Simon was brilliant and literally took care of all the booking side of things. He was also very mindful of preparing a safe and clean space for everyone to work given the 2020 pandemic and managed his event fully within the rules and so forth. It was only the second mini-tour that I was attempting since it all kicked off with my trip revolving around this day - I knew that Simon is a straight-laced and professional guy who would take things seriously and run things well so this gave me a lot of confidence before I even got there. So I can most definitely recommend the studio and Simon as an event host to other models... Even if you (like me) don’t do such small group events all that often: Simons have my recommendation for sure. :)

The day was just a barrel of laughs from start to finish! It was just the atmosphere that one needs in times like we were going through: everyone was friendly and enthusiastic, we managed to do plenty of chinwagging as we worked and even chucked a bit o’ banter in as well for good measure! :D I also felt very well looked after; there were refreshments and facilities to top up my slimy teas (HAHA!) I had my own private space for makeup and changing between sets and even though there was a lot of drive and enjoyment of everyone getting excited about the next sets to be executed: it was a chilled out day with a good pace. It certainly went fast due to having a pleasant atmosphere and prolific flow -that’s for sure! :D

From what I saw: people were getting some killer shots! Simon was on hand at all times of course to inject his expertise into the different setups we did and he really helped make peoples ideas come to life. No matter how complex or specific! We covered a bit of everything from edgy fashion, conceptual portraits, sassy boudoir, arty shapes in a box and then some - certainly making good use of the studios many creative set opportunities! :D Simon really works hard to guarantee that great yield and make sure everyone in their shooting slots/groups is happy with what they were getting. A fabulous man to have running the job.

I felt respected and comfortable during my time at Loud And Flashy, everyone was just so lovely and courteous which ensured that good feeling and atmosphere stuck around right until the end of the day. By the time we called it a wrap: we had already started discussing when I’d potentially be coming back! :D And I will most definitely - that’s for sure!

Loud And Flashy are awesome! Even better when they have a Yorkshire lass in the house tho... ;)

Thank you for everything Simon - you were a star!

Another fab studio group shoot last weekend at Loud and Flashy!

Simon looked after me incredibly well as always, making sure the studio was the right temperature for me, providing awesome creative sets for all the attendees and of course can't forget the awesome playlists haha :)

Highly recommend his studio and always look forward to working there :D

It was my first time shooting here and it certainly won’t be the last! I hosted a group shoot and the day ran smoothly and everyone that attended were very down to earth, professional and friendly. Simon made sure I was comfortable and always made sure I wasn’t too hot or too cold. The studio is lovely with plenty of room for a variety of shoot styles.

Highly recommend to anyone and I can’t wait to shoot here again in the future.

Thank you for having me.

Fay.

What an absolute gem of a studio.

It was my first visit to Loud and Flashy. But it won’t be my last - hopefully.

It was great.

I shot on a one to one with a photographer but Simon was on hand to help with the lighting. Very impressive. This studio had everything.

Nigel Anderson

Great shoot at Loud and Flashy Studio with model Bobbi Castle. Simon was very friendly and helpful and was able to help me set up the lights to create the my required effects. There was a boudoir set-up, which required the model to have a lot of freedom of movement, and an art-nude set up with coloured jells.

The studio is well equipped and warm (particularly important for the winter months).

Highly recommended, I will be using this studio again.

Had a fab first visit to Loud and Flashy!! It for sure wont be my last!!

What an amazing space! Loads of props and lighting, all you need really!

Simon is lovely, so approachable and has so many awesome ideas! Easy to chat with and hilarious!

We put on two group shoots in the day and we had such a giggle thinking of different ideas and props we could use! We went from simple boudoir to crazy colander shoots! (OH YES!)

I couldnt have asked for a better day and cant wait to come back!

Thanks so much!

Lottii!

Loved Loud and Flashy. First time I'd been in a commercial studio having previously just been at home in our small studio. Lots of space. Great to have a mix of settings and loved the natural light from the window. Great props too.

When, we're back, I would love to work at the studio again
