My first remote shoot at PGD studio , with the stunning infinity model.

Garry went through the options of how the remote shoot would work , and with in a few minutes i was ready to start taking photo`s.

I was quite impressed with the possibility of the remote shoot , and the adjustments you could make to the lighting set up.

Looking forward to my next remote shoot at PGD studio

Thank you Garry.

Recently I had a lovely shootingday at PGD Modeling Studios. Very good and fast communication wit Garry in advance. It was a well organised day.

Garry guided the participating photographers extremely good in lightning. He knows what he's doing and talking about. A real pro to work with.

Looking forward to my next modelday in the studio.

I use PGD Studios regularly but the session there last Monday was truly outstanding.

We showed Garry images with a range of very different lighting setups and asked if he could prepare the sets for some of them for us. No problem he said - lets try them all.

We had initially booked 2 hours with janadg but the session was so productive that we asked Garry if he could extend it to 4 hours. He happily obliged and was willing to stay late and continue to offer his skills and help.

We got through over 10 different, beautiful lighting setups using gobos, gels, smoke, a range of modifiers and long exposures with light painting. Garry is a real magician with his wide range of technology and has a very deep understanding of how it can be used to produce outstanding images and effects. He's fun to work with and has a great sense of humour.

I came home with many beautiful and very different images

Thank you Garry

Very highly recommended

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!

Had another fabulous remote session with Halo Haynes at PGD a couple of days ago.

Garry was on-hand for lighting setup, set creation and tuning, and a variety of extremely handy other tasks, and we were able to run through a large number of changes in a surprisingly short time. Enough time, in fact, that were able to do a couple of unplanned sets using some oversized metal cages he had temporarily on-hand.

Very highly recommended! If you're at all interested in remote shooting, you need to give PGD Modelling and Photography Studios a try!

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!

Visited PGD studio yesterday to join Sukinya’s group shoot. I had shot remotely there before but this was my first visit. Gary was very accommodating and made it a lovely day for all. Thank you Gary - best wishes Jann

The other day I had another remote shoot with Garry and Georgia Brown. I love shooting with Garry! He is so accommodating both before and during the shoot. He listens, and if something is possible, it will be done. I have done a number of shoots with him and hope to shoot a number again. He is really so knowledgeable and friendly that the time flies when shooting with him. Not only is he like that with me, but I've seen him treat models with respect and accommodating them too. Whatever side of the camera someone is on, you could not ask for anyone better than Garry.

If you get a chance, hire Garry and PGD.

Excellent first shoot at PGD with Lady Viper, & I'm sure there will be more! :-)

Garry is extremely helpful & hospitable, great to chat with & the time flew by.

Thanks again, Garry, for your support in making the shoot such a fantastic experience.

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

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
