I had a great shoot here today, fantastic space filled with great natural light but also all of the resources and facilities you need to control or add artificial light. The owner is great, very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend checking it out and booking in!

Such a brilliant studio! So spacious and brilliant for natural light as well as studio lighting!

When I arrived I was welcomed and had a lovely cuppa made for me!

I just felt so welcome and I will definitely be returning! 100% reccomend

I think putting all the wonderful things about Phil into one little text box is going to be damn near impossible!

I met Phil when I was only a lil newbie into the modelling world. Since then, I think I’ve basically called the boardroom my second home.

Phil is an absolutely exceptional photographer, once he has something in mind he aces it, don’t ask me how- I think the only possible answer must be magic.

He has such an incredible creative mind, always thinking of something new to do behind the lens. Not to mention the ability to get such raw, beautiful images of people- (he actually can get a shot of me smiling!!)

Phil’s the photographer I’ve worked with most over the time I’ve been modelling & there’s good reason for it!

I feel so comfortable shooting with Phil, and not only that but I genuinely see him as one of my really good pals! Whenever I’m around the area i always love to pop in and say ello, because if I haven’t mentioned already, he’s WONDERFUL!

Phil’s highly respected by pretty much everyone, not only for his beautiful studio but because he’s genuinely the nicest person ever and so easy to work with.

On top of my experiences, I booked Phil for my sisters 21st birthday present where she had her own shoot. Phil really brought her out of her shell and made her feel so confident and beautiful.

If you haven’t worked with Phil, or been to the boardroom- get ya booty down there!

I would recommend all day every day, to everyone!

Crikey, this is an amazing studio. The light is perfect! I will definitely be coming back

Well it's been forever since I left a reference & I wanted to keep somewhere between spamming the references and remaining cool and not writing too many!... So hopefully the latter!...

Anyway I have shot at PHLY a large amount of times now and can honestly say it's one of my favourite studios in the UK... For many reasons all of which are just as important!...

Firstly and most importantly! Tea!... You get as much tea as you want! And Phil & Becca are both happy to deal with my own tea bags and various weird milks and act like it's totally cool whilst making them!... So that's one I'm grateful for!...

Secondly! If you're a model that whole place is comfortable, there's no toilet in a cold dark basement or half way down the road! It has mirrors that allow you to see your whole body and not just half of your face...

It's as warm or cold as you need it to be! And if you are chilly the dressing gown is not only squishy but also turns you into a bear!! So always a plus!... Plenty of places to get changed and if you have a problem Phil & Becca are on top form to sort anything!

Thirdly, and hopefully lastly because this is hefty already, the shoot space itself!... It's just beautiful!... The natural light is beautifully soft but just bounces around and creates the most beautiful wrap around light! Soft, floaty and high end. But also you can turn it into a black space and shoot with studio lighting etc.... You can create room sets or have nothing but the bare bones of the studio and the model. Anything you want will always look amazing and high end.

Ok one more thing to mention then I promise this will all be over are Becca & Phil... Becca is lovely, chatty and friendly. She makes the atmosphere just warm and relaxed! And she's always happy to help out where she can! And then Phil is fabulous!... Again just creates a really nice working environment, where models feel safe and photographers feel looked after and inspired!... He's happy to help and happy to stay away!

Overall! Which I probably should of just written instead of this long winded stuff.

The space is amazing! You could shoot a model in bin bags and it would still look amazing!... You get looked after, treated like an actual human and plenty of giggles are always about!... And Phil & Becca are two of the most genuinely lovely & talented people you could be around in this industry!

Thanks guys!! Bother you sooner rather than later ;)

My first visit to PHLY & it was excellent. Phil is a fantastic host & very helpful in the studio. Lots of space & excellent natural light. It was a real pleasure & I would certainly welcome the chance to shoot there again.

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I’ve had the pleasure of shooting at the Board Room a couple of times now and have only just got around to leaving a reference.

I simply love this space!

The owner Phil is a fantastic host, so friendly, down to earth, happy to help out with lighting set ups if needed, you’re always warmly welcomed with his epic coffee making and tea brewing skills, if you want a hand with anything he’s never far away but is happy to just leave you to it.

Great reception area for you to leave all your valuables and know they’ll be safe, along with make up area if you need to get ready or have a make up artist.

The studio is so beautiful with its original wooden floors, and gorgeous tall windows, the light is just breath taking at all times of the day, and Phil has quite the collection of props that suit the environment right down to the last detail including a chesterfield chair, full length ornate mirror, vintage trunks, and so much more!

So I just can’t wait to be back for my studio day in October but I’m sure I’ll be back before then!

Easily and highly recommended, thank you for a great experience :D

My first visit to this unique studio to work with Em Theresa on her sold out model day. I was made extremely welcome on arrival and we were offered refreshments throughout. The studio area itself is full of natural light reflecting off the white walls, great period features including large windows, white boarded walls and fireplace, plus props such as a chesterfield chair and large wooden chest. It is equipped with an array of studio lighting but on this occasion we chose to just use natural light. I certainly thoroughly enjoyed my shoot and highly recommend this venue. Thank you.

Em Theresa

I visited The Boardroom for the first time recently, having booked it to hold a model day. The space is stunning, the natural light from large windows was gorgeous and the place spotless and warm. The props available to use are great too, really interesting and often vintage/antique. I was well looked after and would absolutely both recommend and return :)

I had a lovely morning today at The Boardroom Studios with PHLY, Sheff, Cariad, Daryl and PHLYs colleagues. The studio is beautiful, spacious and well equipped and everyone was wonderfully welcoming. I was only there to tag along and get in the way but I had a great time and will be returning for some of my own shoots in the near future.

Had the distinct pleasure of finally working at this wonderful place so close to my home it surely is one that i will be recommending to any one wanting to book me for a shoot again.

Friendly engaging staff whom gave a warm welcoming upon arrival.

Great facilities and well kept warm environment no cold studio here guys :)...

Stunning white rooms. there is no words i can add that can not highlight how great this place is.

Everything you need for a perfect day.

My first visit to this studio and it impressed me. There was a warm welcome and an excellent cup of tea upon arrival and the studio was clean, warm and spacious and a lovely clutter free space in which to work. Beautiful natural light flooded through the very elegant high windows and there was the option to use this and/or studio flash. There were many possibilities to create different types of images within the studio and I would recommend it to other creatives. Thank you to the studio staff for making my first visit so enjoyable.

As part of my themed events project this year I wanted to host an ethereal event and PHLY was the perfect space for that!

Modern yet timeless, with beautiful natural light and feature props and furniture, it was definitely the right choice!

Phil was super helpful throughout the day and had a load of pastries so he gets extra brownie points!

If you're looking for a clean, minamilistic yet characterful space then PHLY is the space for you :)

My first shoot at 'The Boardroom' What a fab studio space, bright airy, clean and loads of natural light. Received a warm welcome from Phil on arrival with coffee and pastries, Phil was on hand should I have needed anything. I'd definitely recommend shooting here.

Adam John Photography

Great studio – fab support from Phil when needed, help with lighting suggestions gratefully appreciated – highly recommended. This place is so full of natural light and I look forward to shooting again here in a few weeks :-)

Second time working at The Boardroom, and yet again marvellous!

Phil is an absalute angel!

He helped me set my 4 different sets up for my Group shoot I hosted at his studio. Ensured I was okay through out and offered help when needed.

His studio is gorgeous! Of course we all know the beauty of his studio from the natural light and the white walls but it can even come alive at night with various back drops and lighting equipment

I highly recommend working at his studio!

I will be back again very soon!!

Did a group shoot here, studio is a simple but highly adaptable space with plenty of options. Hosted very well and looking forward to using it again soon.

Had my first shoot at The Boardroom a few weeks ago. Phil greeted me and was incredibly helpful and super fun to talk to throughout the day. The space itself is well-lit, clean, airy, and has lots of lovely, classy features. Definitely recommend coming here!

Phil is one of my favorite photographers. He is multi skilled as a photographer and editor. i was so intrigued over his editing skills that i'd love to learn more about his work!

His skills behind the camera are incredible as he is able to catch the perfect moment in a photograph so well and in such good detail!

I cant wait to work with you again!

Thankyou Phil!
