Had a great time shooting at Map Studios - Alex was extremely encouraging and helpful from the start. Communication was clear and helpful and the studio itself was a great environment to shoot in. Looking forward to working there again soon!

I had a studio day at MAP last Thursday. The day went very well and I was well looked after with food and coffee all day!

The studio has everything you need from a swinging chair to a dungeon.

Alex looked after me and even let me stay with him for my time there which I am very greaful.

I hope to visit the studio again soon!

Much love,

Eve

A great thanks to Alex at MAP for accommodating my shoot at short notice. This was my first shoot at this studio but I was made welcome (nice Tea) and felt confident straight away. Excellent pre communications and the studio was warm, always a bonus for the models!

Managed to get some really good images (In my opinion) and am sure I will be taking advantage of Alexs' hospitality again in the very near future, and looking forward to seeing his ideas for the studio being put into fruition, will make the place even better.

Alex called me up last minute to cover for a model who had taken ill so everything was sorted quickly and efficiently :)

I am always happy with the pre-communications as Alex is so straight forward and easy to talk to. I always know exactly what is expected of me on the day.

Upon arrival, the studio had changed around (again :P) which is a great thing as there is always a fresh set/ props etc to play around with.

Alex is very welcoming to all and on hand to help out with sets and lighting, as well as inputting some suggestions to the sets.

Thank you again, hopefully I will be back sooner than last time!!

I have just returned home from my trip to Leicester where i had the opportunity to host a studio day at the particularly fabulous MAP studio and what an absolute pleasure it was!!! Not just the studio day....the whole weekend from start to finish!.

So lets start from the beginning. Alex's comms before coming was second to none, he kept me updated on everything and i felt like we were friends before even meeting him so when i did on Friday it was so easy :-) Alex and his equally lovely wife was kind enough to offer me accomadation during the stay but this was no ordinary accomadation, it came with food, drinks a trip to the pub, 2 beautiful children and a whole lot of laughs! Both Becky and Alex could not have been more accomadating. Then the Saturday, the studio day. Alex was ever the professional introducing me to each photographer and was on hand whenever anyone needed him. I worked with some awesome photographers who were lovely also. The studio is so well equipped so much space and opportunity for so many creative cool set ups and......... props, shoes and clothes galore!!!!!!! I loved playing dress up and felt like a child all over again.

Im kinda gutted its all over now but.... yey.... im coming back next year to do it all again, whoop whoop. Thanks to you all for an awesome weekend :-)

A few days ago I did my second full day shoot at Map Studio, in the 3 weeks since my last shoot there Alex the owner had made several more changes improving the brilliant facilities even more. My model and I could not have been made more welcome and I was again blown away by the superb sets and wide range of props available. I had a great day and was over the moon with the images from the shoot, I cannot wait to shoot there again and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this studio to others, my advice is, book it you will not be disappointed. Thanks Alex for another super day, Tony

MAP Studio and Alex are awesome. Sold out my studio weekend no problem once again and have almost sold out my day in March too!

Stayed with Alex and his wife again and was sooooo well looked after. Can't wait to catch up with them both and return in 2017! Always have a lot of fun up there. :D

HIGHLY recommended!! :)

The 3rd Shoot at map for me.

Alex is beyond accomodating, the studio is well equipped with professional lighting and modifiers, the props, wardrobe, furniture and sundry items are second to none and always included with any booking cost.

3rd shoot at Map completed, 2 more already booked. Simply love this studio.

I have just done a full day shoot at Map Studio, the first time I have used it and it will not be my last, Alex the owner could not have been more helpful moving props etc before the shoot started so all was in place where I wanted it. The dungeon space and equipment is excellent with plenty of room so you have no problem getting the shots from all the angles you want.

The Bowens lighting, triggers and light modifiers are all excellent and the wheeled stands make moving the lights easy, there was also a plethora of props all in good condition easy to get at and yet not cluttering the studio shooting areas.

This is a great studio and I thoroughly enjoyed my day shooting there, I would definitely recommend the studio, I will be returning in the not too distant future. Full marks from me, kind regards. Tony T

My first shoot at Map Studios, which is surprising as I only live 15 miles away! Studio is tucked away on a small industrial site in Loughborough. Was met by Alex who gave me a quick tour of the various sets and also helped me set up the lights (thanks Alex). Lots of different sets and lighting set ups are possible. I really enjoyed the shoot with Amy Rose and managed to get some great images. Would recommend Map Studio without any hesitation and look forward to using the studio again in the new year.

As always another great day of shooting at MAP, working with Molly M. Everything was ready at the studio and Alex had the kettle on ready for when we arrived. Working at MAP is just so easy as everything is available and moveable to get into the setting that you require. Lights keep the photographers happy and it is so easy to produce some great images.

Looking forward to the next time Alex.

This was my second shoot at Map Studios, which meant I knew my way around better. This is a great working environment with plenty of props, spare costumes and backgrounds. I really enjoyed it and I hope to work their again.

I had my first shoot at Map on Sunday. The studio is well equipped and Alex was on hand to help with the lights, technical issues, etc. I was made to feel very welcome. I would definitely shoot at Map again and I heartily recommend the studio.
