Finally managed to get my rear end over to the studio and i was not disappointed, Alex was brilliant and very polite and helpful, We had our little one about with us running all over and he was very entertaining for her,

The studio itself is very spacious and well equipped and a great feel to the place with many options for shoots, A great place i hope to come back to and shoot more at

I had my first visit to MAP Studios today for a shoot with Thea Rose .. On arrival Alex showed me around the extensive site, Thea arrived and we managed to utilise a lot of the ground floor during our 4 hours .. The studio is huge, it has traditional settings and spaces along with rooms that are for future development ..

I enjoyed my visit, Alex was friendly and very helpful, making sure i had a clue what i was doing before he left us to it ..

I will be back, already booked in fact, and i recommend it to photographers and models alike ..

Cheers Alex, good to meet you

A really good shoot this week at Map with Helen Grace. We chose this studio because it was local for Helen and I work in Loughborough and it turned out to be a very good choice. Both of us were late getting to the studio because of work but Alex let us run our 2 hour session from when we got there, very accomodating. A good range of equipment available and Alex helped by making sure all the kit we were using was working and synched before we started. Great sets and a really good vibe, we had a great time and the time just flew by.

I would be happy to work there again anytime and would recommend them to everyone who needs a studio for a shoot. Map organise group and model days, not tried these yet but they do look good so I may be having a look in for a session.

The only thing I would comment on, if you have not been there before make sure you get good directions. The studio is a bit difficult to find on the industrial estate they are based on, some better signage would be useful and Alex is aware of this so this may well be sorted out quite soon.

I had the pleasure of working at Map Studios over the last 3 days! Alex is an absolute diamond, welcoming, funny and a true gent! Myself and Cariad wanted to do a duo studio day and Alex was more than happy to host us.

The studio itself is great, fully equipped with everything and anything you can think of. Different rooms and set ups.. I just adore the derelict room, the natural light has just been flooding in over the last couple of days.

Refreshments provided, great conversation and Alex is always on hand for any questions or help needed.

Thank you so much for hosting me and Cariad, you’re a star!

Looking forward to coming back in June :)

Highly recommended to all creatives out there, it’s a brilliant studio and Alex is superb!

Many thanks

I worked at Map Studios over the last two days Alex and Becca posted me at the home to they are both lovely people really down-to-earth you can’t not get on with them

Hadn’t been to Map Studios since they moved location and wow what an improvement the space is absolutely un real the scale of the space and the difference in areas I’m a little jealous I will certainly be back there again in a few months I would certainly recommend to photographers and models to come check out this place you won’t regret it

Had a great full day/shoot at map's. I can't recommend this studio enough. It has great space in the main studio. And is complemented by 3 more theme rooms

A great grunge stairs.

Alex is very friendly, helpful. And cannot do enough for you to make it an enjoyable shoot.

Great variation of lights and a large number of props

I have used this studio several times and will continue to do so.

If you haven't used this studio before I would put it on your to go-to list without question.

I stepped in to cover a studio shoot at Map in Loughborough with less than 2 hours to prepare. So with very little planned it was going to be two hours of going with the flow!

Alex had reached out after a tog had cancelled. The model was Ayla Rose, probably one of the most relaxed and creative ladies I have had the pleasure of working with so far (and I have worked with a lot).

The facilities at Map, are excellent, and Alex continues to bring in the cream of the models that are touring at the moment. They have recently moved to a new unit, and there are a lot of plans to develop and create fresh ideas and sets.

Highly recommended

I had my first lighting workshop at Map Studios with the lovely Miss N.

The studio was perfect for all my requirements with lots of space and is well equipped.

Map Studios is more than a paper backdrop and has lots of space and great sets which is just what I am looking for in a studio.

The model changing room is perfect and refreshments are available so everyone's needs were catered for plus a great working temperature.

I can certainly recommend Map as a great studio and I am looking forward to my next workshops this year :D

I had a great hour at Map Studios today. Very well equipped for all the latest photography equipment, and of course some very good, photography sets. If you haven’t taken the plunge then I would wholeheartedly recommend Map studios for amateurs & professionals alike.

I love this studio. Mr Wilson had booked some time to shoot here and I couldn’t wait to get started. There are so many different places you can work. Alex and Becky are so welcoming and make you feel comfortable. Would highly recommend working there and I can’t wait to shoot there again soon. Thanks guys!

Although Alex had an operation on Monday he was still at work when I arrived after Becky made sure I got to the studio safely. As always it was great to work at Map and Alex and Becky certainly went the extra mile today for me. I'm very grateful, wish Alex a speedy recovery and hopefully he will be on form again soon. Highly recommended as always.

I had yet another shoot at Map Studios yesterday with the fabulous Miss N.

I am probably going to have to arrange a standing order.

I was a bit put off when Alex greeted me dressed for a funeral - was this a comment on my photographic abilities. I know my way around the studio now so it was no problem when he left us to get on with it.

The studio has so many areas to shoot in that are the areas that I like and the future development will make it even better.

I cannot recommend Map Studios enough. I will be returning for more shoots there in the future.

What an awesome studio event! I attended Maps Christmas Social and I had a fantastic time. Alex showed me around the new studio and I was blown away by how big and amazing it is. The model room is so good, warm and with different shoes and props. I felt really comfortable there. Alex and his wife put on a truly great day, with food and drink. I’m really looking forward to my studio day in April! Thanks Alex and Becky!

I have just had a 6 hour shoot at Map Studio with Kasia and Angel Price.

Alex is always so helpful and yet relaxed so that working at the studio is a great experience.

I shot recently at the new studio a few weeks ago so I was quite familiar with the setup. Alex had to go out but left everything so that we were able to do anything and everything without him being there.

There are standard backdrops but also different areas to shoot including quite "undeveloped" rooms with fantastic natural light.

I can happily recommend Map Studio to all photographers.
