Very professional, Well organised, attention to detail, every little detail thought of and extremely helpful, these are just some of things i can say after having shot at Maria's lovely garden studio. the pre comms were incredible as we went over themes, costumes, what we need, even down to recommendations to help make the shoot the best it could possibly be. sadly the weather did throw some spanners in the work but Maria even had a sheltered shooting area to help cope with the downpours we were getting.

I loved the experience and it was great to be faced with new challenges to over come. would I shoot here again? yes I would and I'll certainly book again in the new year

Thankyou for a wonderful guided tour into your creative realms

I’ve visited Medusa’s Garden with photographer Thelema a few days ago !

Maria is so creative and full of energy ! The garden pool space is magical and so beautifully decorated and with attention to detail !

Happy to recommend this space to others :)

I had a lovely water/lake shoot with Maria Mirage at Medusa's Garden. The team was all female, which it has been a loooong time since I've had last, and was incredibly nurturing. Maria also took great care of us with constant tea and scones.

Maria really makes sure to do things right, as close to perfect as possible, when creating her art. This is what makes her so successful - in combination with her incredible creativity and the beautiful set-up at Medusa's Garden. She completely transformed an ordinary backyard into a goddess haven, and I felt transported!

She has amazing knowledge of set design and styling a model - I looked like a pre-rephealite nymph when she was done with me! The pool was even heated :) Every detail had attention paid to it.

Working with her is worth every minute of the journey and I am sure the pictures will be nothing short of masterpieces. (Also, she has two adorable cats!)

Highly recommend Maria and Medusa's Garden! Hope to work with her again.

This garden is a prime place to shoot in. With plenty of space and alcoves in which to create magical images, teamed with smoke machines and plenty of accessories to bring your image to life! Recommended!

Beautiful setting with lots of different areas for creating different looks. A very versatile space. Maria also had a smoke machine that was great fun to play around with and tons of awesome accessories. Highly recommended as a private outdoor space to work in.

Amazingly beautiful space which Maria can transform at the drop of a hat. Its incredible to see how see can make a very pretty English garden in to a magical misty fairytale like forest and the space she has is so versatile it would suit any number of themes. Hope to work there again, thank you!

I have shot in Medusa's Garden twice now and both times have been a wonderful experience. I love working with Maria she is so positive and inspirational. I would definitely recommend working with her. She has great ideas, a wonderful space and lots of wonderful accessories and costumes, a day is never enough time. The garden is great and has lots of different area's to shoot in. My favourite is the wooded part it comes out great in photos. I am looking forward to visiting again soon

Had a great shoot with Medusa in her garden studio, she had a great range of outfits and lots of ideas and various places to shoot, such as a small pond and tree areas etc. Also, i believe some interesting woodland nearby. Would definitely like to shoot there again.

I have had three photo shoots with Medusa. The first at a nearby cherry blossom tree and the last two in her garden. She is very creative and a delight to work with.

Fabulous location with an abundance of props, costumes, jewellery and wigs. The garden itself has a range of areas to shoot in, all of which create beautiful backdrops. Highly recommended.

I've shot in Medusa's Garden three times now, and got some great images each time.

There is a good array of foliage, and with Medusa's ever-expanding range of jewellery, props, wigs, clothing and backdrops your biggest problem is liable to be deciding what NOT to shoot.

I shot twice in this location and I had a great experience! The size and lay out of the space n are perfect for photo shoots and looking at the images I took there you couldn't necessarily tell I was in a garden. The prop room is like an ever-expanding Aladdin's cave and has big glass doors leading into the garden. I'm going back there later today in fact!

I have shoot in Medusa's Garden on three occasions and each time I have come away with some stunning images. It's like shooting in a wood but with mains power, you can run studio lights and shoot in the middle of the day and make it look like evening or morning and a mains smoke machine is so much better than pellets.

This garden has several different areas and looks, you can move around with the sun and take full advantage of the day.

Medusa also has an enormous array of props and costumes for almost every shot you could wish for, if you have the opportunity to work with Medusa or shoot in this garden then take it, you will not be disappointed.

If you are still unsure look through my PP and see the great wood shots I have, if you look closely at the shots on this page you can identify the locations.

Shooting with Medusa is always fun, she works very hard to make sure the best images are created. This garden is highly recommended :-)

I had such a lovely comfortable and inspiring shoot with Maria in her 'Medusa Garden' the one time so far that we have worked together there. She has a beautifully decorated and very spacious props and dressing room leading onto the garden with everything that you could need to create a million different looks! We used her crystal ball, three different wigs, flower crowns, various jewellery items and other props in her garden and the surrounding woodland nearby to her house. Her garden is beautiful and the backdrops there help to create lovely shots.

I could not recommend this studio more highly, its the most unique and beautiful place I've ever used for a shoot. Maria not only takes gorgeous pictures, but she has created a fantastic out door space to shoot - plenty of trees, branches, flowers and more but without having to drive to a far away location with no facilities for doing hair & makeup and making a coffee! Hope to work here again soon :)

Medusa's Garden is Amazing location to shoot at. Not only the garden is big with various flowers, plants, trees, bushes, summer house, pond etc., Medusa's Garden provides a lot of varios clothes, accesories, wig's and etc., and by various I mean a big selection to choose from. If you have an idea of a character or fantasy you want to fullfil Medusa's garden has all the ingrediets to do so. During my shoot at The garden I had 4-5 changes of different looks including wigs, flower crowns, corsets, dresses, jelewerry, smoke machine and various locations within the garden that we shot.

Medusa's garden is beautiful and is a wonderful location able to cater for a wide range of shoots. Very well presented and picturesque. My favourite features were the quaint gazebo and huge rose bush (which she uses to make her own freshly-cut rose crowns!). Her costumes and props are of high quality and really enhance the images we created.

Neeve Kelly

Fantastic location to shoot in with with a great selection of props and costume. It has some amazing backdrops including a pond and a well kept garden with trees and fallen logs. She is able to transform this location into a beautiful enchanted forest' with fake snow, smoke machines and interesting props.

It really is a fabulous place to shoot from. I hope to visit again soon.

I worked with Medusa on a gothic themed shoot, both on location and in her garden. She provided some of her own accessories and props to complete each look and got out the smoke machine for added effect! Her garden is like an enchanted wonderland, beautiful and serene!

I hope to go back there to shoot! :)
