I had the pleasure of shooting at PGD for the first time yesterday, a 4 hour workshop run by Gary with the incredible, Ayla as our model.

The studio is large and very well equipped with a variety of shooting spaces. Well thought out and versatile with lots of space to let your imagination work with.

The workshop was excellent; Garry is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, helpful & hospitable, he makes a great cuppa and is great to chat with. The lighting set ups were all spot on and Gary took the time to explain and demonstrate each of them. Just enough info and detail to make everything interesting and to ensure we all got the best out of each one.

A very enjoyable and productive first visit. I will definitely be returning for many more.

Highly recommended to all photographers models and tea drinkers :-).

Attended another shoot at this fantastic studio.

Gary is extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful. He manages his studio well, he is full of ideas and constantly seeking to add value to his offering.

The studio is very well proportioned, nice and airy, light with numerous sets, furniture, backdropps and props.

It is a favourite of many models and rightly so.

Thanks for hosting once more Gary

Highly recomended

I made my first trip up to PGD yesterday and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Nice open space giving lots of room to work and allowing directions to shoot the many sets and backgrounds available. Good height, which is often lacking in studios. Great range of equipment. Garry was super helpful in understanding my equipment requests and setting up kit efficiently. Most importantly of course: a very welcome cup of tea - what more could a photographer want?!?!

I recently had the pleasure of working with PGD Studios, and I am delighted to share my exceptional experience. As a relatively new model, I was initially apprehensive about the photoshoot. However, the host at PGD Studios made me feel incredibly comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Their expertise in guiding me through various poses significantly enhanced my confidence and the quality of the photos. The host's proactive approach in assisting not only myself but also the photographer ensured a smooth and efficient session. The collaborative environment fostered by the studio allowed us to produce outstanding results that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend PGD Studios to anyone looking for a professional and nurturing photography experience.

My first visit to PGD studios was a real treat. Gary was very helpful answering any questions that I had and also helped me to achieve the lighting setup for a particular image I was trying to create.

Great studio plenty of scope for the photographer and model to explore.

I would definitely recommend giving this studio a try.

Attended an “away day” shoot at The Kiln organised by Allen Sheffield and Gary. Pre shoot comms were good and organisation etc on the day was first rate. Lights were bundled up and brought down by Gary and all were used to give a wide varierty of different shooting options.

Happy to recommend.

I recently had a remote shoot with Garry and LEnza. I've shot with Garry a number of times and each time it's a wonderful experience. He is so friendly and accommodating both before and during a shoot. He is one of my favorite studios to have a remote shoot with and I only wish I could shoot in person with him there. Anyone looking for a very talented and friendly studio should feel more than comfortable with PGD and Garry. Thanks so much!

I've had 2 remote sessions at PGD this month, with 6 so far for the year there. It's a great place to work, especially for remote shooting, and Garry did his usual fabulous job in every case. The most recent one involved a lot of furniture moving in addition to the typical light and simple prop setup, but he did it without a complaint. (Alas, we left the studio is a bit of a state at the end; sorry Garry!)

Highly recommended!

So knowing how much Garry loves multiple references from people i thought i had to leave another one for him and the amazing studio he has created for us to work at :D

So i had the pleasure of shooting at PGD again this evening this time shooting with Nico Dee alongside Mercia Storm,

The shoot went as expected which was fantastic and could not have gone better thanks to a fab studio to shoot in,

Garry was on the ball with making cuppas upon our arrival and man does he make a good cuppa, He kept us going through the shoot being on hand to help with lighting and making those ideas come to life with the set ups! Chatty and superb music playing throughout! Could not ask for a better studio to work at and no doubt Garry is head and shoulders above with running a studio too!

Sukinya

Did my first remote shoot at PGD on Sunday and honestly loved it! Garry had great pre-comms and explained everything very clearly (as I wondered also what a remote shoot was exactly), and he was very professional, friendly and accommodating! The studio was awesome, filled with different backdrops, props and funky lighting - honestly could never get bored in there. He filled me up with coffee and was a great laugh! Would highly recommend PGD to both models and photographers! 10/10

Another remote at PGD recently with Suki during her studio day there. Garry is always on the ball helping with setups, lighting and making sure the remote goes smoothly. Great remote setup and highly recommend studio.

I had the privilege of spending the day here at PGD and it was certainly a delight!

Garry, the host, was a lovely guy, although we didn't get to shoot together, he was very attentive and friendly, always offering a helping hand or coffees! Very down to earth and I could have just chatted to him all day!

As for the shooting space, it is wonderful. I had the opportunity to work in both the main area and the studio 4 section. Both are great creative spaces, very spacious with a lot of freedom to move. Couldn't ask for a better area really!

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STUDIO TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE! IT IS A GEM! THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME! :D

I'm going to combine my recommendation, based on 2 remote sessions a few days apart.

PGD and Garry are fantastic to work at/with. Period.

One session was an entirely white-on-white theme, with many many variations. Garry helped set up both pure white backgrounds and white-with-texture ones as desired, and, as usual, done with his usual flair and cheerfulness.

The other, later in the week, was a Hollywood Glamour (1920's-1940's Silver Screen) set, and required multiple prop changes and frequent tweaking of a very focused fresnel. Again, Garry kept things on track, often anticipating my requests before I spoke up.

Very highly recommended!

This was my second time attending PGD and as before I was part of a group that booked PGD for the day for what can only be described as a congregation of chaotic cosplay.

Garry had multiple sets with lights ready for us on the day. He was always on call to support with lighting and set changes. The space is ideal for any creative group with multiple ideas bouncing around.

There is good parking space, plenty of breakout space for people to relax between shoots. So much variety in the lighting equipment and options. I just wish it was a little closer to me so I could use the space more often.

Had my first shoot at PGD today and it was awesome. Really well laid out, spacious set up and all the lighting is either ceiling mounted or on wheels with really good cabling to make trip hazards a non-concern.

Wicked variety of modifiers, backdrops and spaces and bloomin’ fantastic help on tap from Garry, who is as sound as a pound…really knows his lighting and is great to bounce ideas off. Honestly, could have stayed there all day and will certainly be going back now I have a feel for the space…fab way to spend my birthday!
