First shoot a Rawpics for a shoot organised by Gemma Varney. Great location and fantastic facilities which made the whole shoot a pleasure to do. Great to meet the very interesting Rod.

I plan to make more visits given the first class talent he has booked throughout the year.

This was my first time working at the studio, and I am so so impressed by the space!

A well organised studio day by Rod with all the equipment you could dream of.

Professional - comfortable - relaxed environment.

Rod is friendly, and a great host, and even came to the rescue to save my car from a muddy track (still laughing)

Highly recommended to all photographers and models.

Thanks so much for having me, and I hope to return soon.

My first visit to this fantastic studio, but it certainly will not be my last. The studio has such superb facilities, from a spacious shoot area with a huge white infinity curve, to interesting backdrops and a great selection of lights and modifiers. For models, a well appointed dressing room and an effective heating system make this a very comfortable space.

Studio owner Rod was on hand throughout to look after anything we needed. Whether it was providing drinks, moving furniture or advising on the best ways to light the different shoot areas, I found him always helpful and keen to assist me in getting the most from my visit.

Thanks for a hugely enjoyable visit.

Another very enjoyable shoot at this studio. Rod was on hand throughout the shoot to assist, if required, but allowed Faith and I to work together when his help was not needed. Thanks for the loan of the AA batteries, Rod, as I had forgotten to bring them. This is always a good studio, especially for circus style shoots with aerial hoops and silks, to visit and I am happy to recommend it again.

My 4th shoot at Rawpics, this time a studio day with Mystiquefay, Rod as all ways on hand to help with whatever you need, coffee flowed when ever it was needed, a great and well equipted studio, and very warm, a must this time of year.

Shooting the lovely Mystiquefay for the first time, I had 3 hours, as one tog, never turned up, so a good move for myself, we shot quite a few different images and I'm well chuffed with the results.

Thank Rod for another superb morning.

Shot yesterday at Rawpics Studios and was very impressed with the setup. Met by Ron (owner) and made to feel very welcome. The studio is large with many different set ups with a very impressive infinity wall.

Ron couldn’t be more helpful during my shoot and I will definitely be using his facility again.

I highly recommend.

WOW! Just had two days of shooting at the fabulous Rawpics Studio, including an all-day vintage group shoot event with the themes or Fred & Ginger and The Greatest Showman - modeling alongside Retro Rob!

The day went brilliantly thanks to Rod’s hospitality, pre shoot comms, lighting knowledge and hard work building sets and assisting the photographers.

Rawpics provides the perfect venue for events such as this with easy parking, spacious indoor and outdoors sets, a range of lighting kit and exciting props - and yummy refreshments!

Everyone had a very special day and we all created some iconic pics!

Massive thanks to Rod and Rawpics - I am still buzzing after yesterday and will be for the rest of the week and beyond - very highly recommended and can’t wait to be back.

Had my first shoot at Rawpics for a little while ( due to distance only) and it was an absolutely amazing themed duo shoot with Retro Rob and Melany.

It was in fact 2 very different group shoots and clearly there had been very much thought and pre-planning gone into these shoots by Rawpics, Rob and Mel - both themed shoots giving me and other photographers the opportunity to create beautiful, varied and amazing images. The images I came away with were magical and like no other.

It was a wonderful day producing an abundance of truly original and amazing images. Rod/Rawpics did the lighting and sets to perfection giving a great boost to all the wonderful images produced.

Rod is a great and courteous host and he always looks after and provides for his guests extremely well

A great day Rod - many thanks for all, especially the beautiful lighting throughout.

Another great event at the Studio. This time with Retro Rob and Melany themed event the Greatest Showman and Fred and Ginger. Rod has grown his backdrops and props since last visit. I was a little worried it would be cold in the studio and over dressed. I should have worried it was nice and warm.

Throughout the day toping us up with drinks and snacks.

100% recommend Studio

This was another brilliant shoot at RawPics studio which is well furnished with great lighting and different shooting areas together with a spacious infinity wall. Rod is the perfect host always on hand to give help in setting up the lighting and different props for the various sets. Rod had set up some coloured fabrics hanging from a beam looking like a spectrum of light, back lighting produced a great glowing affect. We were able to use this brilliant backdrop to create amazing pictures with Melany and Retrorob. Rod is also a brilliant photographer and has amazing, Inspirational pictures displayed around the studio. I can most highly recommend RawPics studio to all photographers and models

Thank you for a great shoot

Absolutely brilliant! what a fantastic weekend of Photographic creativity and art!

So pleased to be back at Raw Pics again making some more iconic images with the help of Rod.

It's been a while since I have been at the studio but with Rod it's like it was only a day ago a lovely welcome and coffee and then a tour of some new sets arranged for myself and Melany on our Retro Rob and Melany Tour.

Two days of amazing creativity with Rod meeting all the needs of not only us but the photographers too .

Thank you so much Rod for not only a brilliant weekend but for all the love and dedication you showed .

Looking forward to seeing you again in the New Year .

Our studio day had to be postponed a few times due to rail strikes but finally we did it on Tuesday the 22nd and I am so happy !

Rod is upon all a fantastic person, very down to earth and so nice to be around!

The studio is AMAZING , very spacious and versatile with endless backdrop options and lighting equipment!

The day went smoothly and I had so much fun working from Raw-Pics! I'm returning back next year and can't wait.

Very highly recommended ♥

Thank you for everything

Back at Rawpics after the summer break.

Great to see Rod has invested in some new canvases which look fantastic and photograph even better.

I'd let Rod know in advance a couple of things I wanted to use and they were ready for me on arrival. Rod always goes that extra mile to make sure we have what we need and on hand to help set things up.

There is so much room in the studio its easy to move around and get set up quickly, so no time wasted.

Refreshments were offered on arrival and at frequent intervals. He makes a great coffee.

Yet another totally successful shoot and highly recommend Rawpics studio for your photography needs.

Another great shoot at Rawpics studio. Rod is the perfect host and understands that individual photographers want to create their own type of images. Lights are set up, backdrops provided and changed. Also a wide variety of models are booked to appear there. A great space to work in.

I had a shoot at the Rawpics Studio yesterday that was booked for us by the photographer I was working with. This studio is so beautiful! It is well lit and beautifully painted. There are lots of sections within the studio that are set up with interesting props and pieces of furniture that make excellent backgrounds and photographic scenes. There is a really wonderful changing room for models that has plenty of well lit mirrors and also an array of hats, silk fabrics and wardrobe items for a shoot. The garden is amazing and offers the opportunity for an array of incredible outdoor photography opportunities if the weather permits. Rod the owner was friendly and welcoming. He was helpful and kind and even made us plenty of cups of tea and coffee through out the day. It was the perfect set up for a really great photo shoot and I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great place to spend the day shooting or even filming. Thanks again for everything. ☺️

As a photographer I am lucky to have my own studio but when I had a family shoot booked, I knew I needed a much bigger space to accommodate them all. Rawpics is not that far from me nor the clients and as they have such a huge space available, they were the obvious choice. Rod was very welcoming and after we had chatted on the phone about what I needed, I arrived to find everything set up and in place. He was lovely, chatty and professional and was there if I needed lights changing. The studio is an amazing place with loads of possibilities for various sets etc and lends itself well to creativity and inspiration. As a photographer it was a little bit like being a kid in a candy store. My shoot with the family went extremely well and they too were very impressed with the space Rawpics offered and they said it was good value for money. Having used it once I am confident that should I need a larger space in which to shoot then Rawpics would be my go to studio. I would thoroughly recommend the studio and Rod and if you are looking for somewhere spacious, light and full of potential in which to shoot you will not be disappointed.
