Had a shoot with Gary today, he was amazing and very professional; I feel like I had learned an incredible amount and could not be more grateful. I learned some amazing tips and tricks and truly felt like a professional model!!! I really hope we can work together again soon :)

I have worked with the awesome team at PGD multiple times now as a model for their remote underwater shoots with Tankspace. They are amazing at making sure everything runs smoothly, you feel well looked after and the days are always great fun. I'm always looking forward to the next!

I was lucky enough to attend a taster session with PGD at the weekend remotely, everyone was so friendly and welcoming and as you can see amazing images were managed under water! Very happy and would recommend joining in on future events! Thank you! Charlene x

I initially booked a single remote session with Scarlet and PGD Studio, the setup is one of the best I've seen and highly recommend it. Control over the lighting is something I love, and immediately after finishing my first session I booked another later in the day. Scarlet brilliant model as well, thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do more.

Gary attended an Introduction to Remote Shooting and was a joy to have on the course. He was polite and professional as well as attentive and offering advice to the other participants.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him :)

I've utilized PGD Studios a few times already, since I just recently joined the community I wanted to leave a reference. Garry and Allen are great to work with, they have top notch gear, great inhouse models, and are super flexible with your time schedule. They offer a lot of creative events that are great to add to your portfolio. I appreciate the effort they put into the studio and shoots they conduct.

I use their studio remotely from the United States. They offer full control of their equipment. Remote controlled gimble (move the camera around robotically) remote control of all their lighting (change the strength or turn them on and off), and full control over the camera settings. So far each time I've used their studio it has been very fluid and I've been able to capture exactly what I was after.

I've shot a few times at PGD now and every time it's an absolute pleasure. Garry is a delight, very friendly, and very helpful. I always feel very safe when shooting there. The studio itself is well-equipped to do almost anything you could dream of. The group shoots I've been involved in are outstanding; from mirror reflections, to dry ice fog - there's such a variety of what's possible!

I very much enjoy shooting here, and I definitely recommend the studio to anyone else, whether a photographer or a model!

Fantastic space and kit. Had fantastic kit and the studio is a great size.

Barry was always on hand to help with any setups and give advice

Adam John Photography

First time that I've worked at this studio and I can't wait to get back there. Very well equipped with lots of lighting options and modifiers. Super space for shooting against various backgrounds.

Gaz is extremely helpful and knowledgeable - there's clearly a super working rapport between him and Chloe (house model) that comes across very well.

Highly recommended

A photographer booked PGD studios space for a shoot with me today and I was very impressed with the studio. Garry is very friendly and offered the photographer and I drinks, and the studio itself offers plenty of different lighting options in a lovely space. Very comfortable to work in!

Gary Marvin

I've shot at PGD countless times now with every time being enjoyable. Garry and Chloé are absolutely professional and nothing is ever too much trouble. A clean and tidy space with plenty of easily accessable equipment, backgrounds and props in good condition. Advice and assistance on offer whenever needed which for those of us with less experience helps put you at ease. All accompanied by seemingly limitless tea and coffee. Parking is off road and plentiful.

I'm lucky to have PGD local to me so I've worked there countless times and will keep on working there! Here's why... GARRY! Garry is the top reason I keep coming back to this lovely studio!

Garry booked myself and my doberman, it was my dogs first ever shoot and what a perfect person to have been the first! Garry knows dog behaviour and greeted Bane perfectly! Garry has managed to capture some images that I will keep for the rest of my life!

I would recommend Garry as a photographer and recommend his studio!

Whether you're a professional model or novice Garry's photography will add value to your portfolio, and as a studio it's warm, there's loads of props, and backdrops, Garry is always around to help with lighting, it's a really great safe space to work!

I had a lovely time at PGD Studios, its a lovely space with some great lighting and a warm easy space to work in.

Lovely host, and will definitely return

Definitely a recommendation!

I had the pleasure of meeting Garry and shooting at PGD today on their model day with Alice Bates. The studio space is fab with lots of options for backdrops, etc. They even facilitate messier shoots which most studios steer clear of!

Garry was very knowledgeable and walked me through what was available at the studio when I arrived. From then on he was unobtrusive but happy to offer a hand when called upon.

I'd happily shoot at PGD again and have no hesitation recommending it to other togs.

One point to note, when you arrive at Quad Studios and you look at the main entrance, PGD is behind a metal door 90 degrees to the left!

Yet another fab reference for Garry and PGD studios from me.

I've lost track of how many times I've shot there now, but every single time I'm welcomed with a warm smile and of course a hot cup of coffee!

Not only is Garry a skilled photographer.. he producing some truly incredible stuff! But also a caring and wonderful studio owner. He ensures the safety of any model in his studio whether that be a 1 2 1, or group shoot he always ensures the model is safe and comfortable.

Garry & Chloe are both incredible at what they do, and they always create a professional yet fun work space!

I always look forward to working there.

Highly recommend

I have shot here several times previously at group shoots, but this weekend I had a 2 hour session at the Studio on my own. The studio is well equipped and easy to find. Garry and Chloe are very welcoming and accommodating. Garry was on hand to give me a little help with setting my lights up an knew exactly what effect I was after. Great Studio!

Ginger Galore

Had my first shoot at PGD Studios this week. The team are very welcoming and I felt right at home. The studio itself is kitted out with everything you would need as a model or photographer.

Garry knows his stuff, and I happily moved through poses whilst he worked his magic with the lighting and shooting. The shoot was a lot of fun and the shots I saw on back of camera were great!

The team have an excellent range of services within the studio and run a very organised place! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Craig Hall

Great photo studio just outside Leicester city centre.

Was there to shoot Chloe Julia (one of the 2 owners) for a model day.

The studio is well equipped, Gary & Chloe are both very knowledgeable and friendly and they keep you topped up on caffeine ;)

This studio puts on some really good creative events and does a weekly social. Recommended!

Nico Dee

I went to PGD again, this time to shoot specifically with Garry and Allen. We went about this shoot to find out how we'd like to organise our Halloween event, Garry being the wizard he is with lighting did not disappoint!

Amazed yet again at his talent for lighting and photography!

The Halloween event is going to be incredible and not one to be missed!

As always I HIGHLY recommend his studio, and recommend working with Garry himself even more so!
