I had a shoot at Cove Studios yesterday and what an amazing space for a shoot! So levels, fully equipped and different "rooms" to shoot in! Phil made me feel welcome and was on hand to help the photographer I was shooting with to get perfect lighting with gels. Large space, easy to get to. Top day, highly recommend!

My shoot with Phil and Steve was my first shoot ever and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it! Their directions helped greatly and I learnt a lot that day which I now take with me to all shoots.

The atmosphere of the shoot was professional yet fun and very relaxed and

the studio was truly amazing. So full of props, costumes and backdrops, you can tell Phil is very passionate about photography. Not only is he passionate but he is also very skillful, he sure knows his lighting! This meant even if the backdrop or style was to change the transition from one lighting style to the other was quite and seamless.

I was over the moon when I saw the final shots. Before this I had not modelled professionally before so I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The photos are lovely and so were the photographers! I had a great time and recommend them to both new and experienced models.

I hope to shoot with you again soon!

Shot with Charlotte-Mae today at Cove Studios. As always, Phil is there working his magic with the lights and toys in the studio. Playing with a Gobo and lights, he just gets the look and feel you want. Cheers again Phil. Highly recommended man and his studio.

Had my first shoot at Cove Studio, Phil is a great guy and very helpful, I used several areas and lighting set-ups during a days shoot and when he offered suggestions and ideas for different lighting. Tea was on offer all day. The number of backdrops, props, outfits etc. would please any photographer. There is plenty of room and height and I will definitely be going back soon to use the studio for a different style and idea.

Many Thanks Phil, I had a great day.

I had another shoot at Cove, Phil was great as usual, full of helpful ideas and knowledge. He has a brilliant studio with just about every type of light and modifier you could need plus a host of props to help make your ideas work.

In addition to having a lovely studio Phil offers a great service for printing and mounting large format pictures, he printed and mounted 2 for me which were very good and great value for the personalised service provided.

Cove studio and Phil certainly get my recommendation and I hope to be back there again before too long.

Fabulous shoot with Phil yesterday at cove. Phil is so friendly and laid back but he's also very organised with his shoot plans and he gives great direction while also listening to models ideas. The studio is very well equipt with plenty of props, furniture, clothes + shoes. Very happy t recommend Phil and the studio :)

Another visit to Cove Studios yesterday on Kelly Maynards studio day.

Great space to work in, with more lights and modifiers to hand that you'll barely scratch the surface.

Phil available when needed to assist in moving items around, but you'd not know he was there when working on set.

Phil is also more than willing to share his knowledge of lighting. Took full advantage of this for the last hour, as we went through a few portrait lighting setups.

Thoroughly recommended and ope to be back sooner rather than later.

Had a two hour shoot with Kelly Maynard at Cove today. The place is amazing, great space and range of modifiers. There is also a vast amount of props, backgrounds and sets etc. Phil was also on hand to give assistance where it was needed. If your looking for a studio in the southeast this is it.

Highly recommended.

Thank You Phil.

Saturday was my second time at Cove Studios - this time for my first ever studio day. Phil was amazing from start to finish. As I had never done one before, he gave me help and advice in terms of the casting call and kindly picked me up from Maidstone (as the trains are just awful at the moment!). Phil is always on hand to give help and assistance at his studio to ensure that shoots run smoothly and efficiently. Cove Studios is like a giant playground for models and photographers with so much variety in terms of sets, props, lights, backgrounds etc.

Thank you Phil for making my first studio day a huge success and for all your help!

I highly recommend both Phil and his studio!

Just completed my first solo studio shoot and I can't thank Phil enough for his assistance and advice which I found invaluable. I admit I was apprehensive doing my own thing in a studio but Phil together with Fiona the model I can honestly say I've had a great day. The studio is awesome with so many shooting opportunities and I certainly will be looking to become a regular. Many thanks Phil hope to see you soon :)

On Friday I had the pleasure of working for a half day at Cove Studios. The studios were really spacious and lovely and warm with tons of space and multiple sets to choose from. The studio is so versatile and with the help of the lovely Phil we managed to shoot 6 very different sets in a short space of time.

I really enjoyed working at Cove Studios and highly recommend them :)

Made to feel at ease from the moment I walked through the door, I have nothing but praise both for Phil as a photographer and for the studio as a whole. As for the images that resulted from the shoot......simply stunning.

Had another shoot at Cove on Monday. This time with Pinup doll Alice Oxley. As always Phil is there to ensure you get the light / shot as you want it. So much in his studio lights, sets, space, it really is Aladdins cave, you need to try Cove for yourself. Thanks again Phil.

Booked Cove today for our small group developing our studio lighting skills.

As on previous visits, sorry not left previous ref's (?) - nothing is too much trouble for Phil. On hand to arrange / re-arrange lighting and sets as the afternoon progressed. Also on hand to discuss options / techniques and how to overcome any technical challenges.

Studio is equipped with an abundance of lighting, with modifiers of almost every conceivable style, shape and size! There is plenty of space to move so your not under each others feet. Yet to take advantage of the themed sets available on the mezzanine!

Highly recommended!
