Second shoot at sanctum, this time with Pollyanna Hale. Sanctum is so different from the standard, that I haven't even come close to running out of ideas. Owners are very organised and friendly, not sure how to describe the decor, maybe romantic gothic? Very highly recommended, you will capture images there so unlike what you already have, that I sure you won't stop at one visit

When planning a shoot other than a great model is the location. Sanctum was recommend too me by the model and I’m pleased she did.

Not only are you getting an amazing city central location but this place is so unique it’s hard to put into words.

But enough to say that the place is amazing - you can shoot in every room and if you need to even deals on overnight stays can be arranged.

The staff are also brilliant great communications and very helpful. I could recommend them and the place enough.

Ammmmaazzzziiinnggg first shoot at this stunning place with Frankinsella! There has been so much effort put into Sanctum to make it really stand out and it shows! I love how everything colour coordinates and I was so pleased to get the chance to shoot here as I wasn't sure my softer look would work but it does and everything looks awesome!

Thanks for having me guys!

Excellent shoot at Sanctum this week.

Pre shoot comms excellent,clear and concise. The shoot was arranged in minutes.

Sharon was there waiting for us in the morning and showed us round explaining what we needed to know. With that, she was gone.

The whole place has been thought through and offers endless possibilities. We shot 16 different sets during the day both lit and natural light. All were special.

Ended the day with a well earned pint at the end of the road. Super chilled, productive shoot.

Thank you.

100% recommended

By far my favorite studio of all time! (I've shot in a lot of studios over the last 12 years!)

I'm just so happy this place exists. The decor is truly beautiful. Such high quality materials and so different to anything I've ever seen before. To say it was luxurious would be an understatement.

The place is even better in person than shown in the pics. I really was blown away with the place. Southampton's hidden treasure!

Can't wait to come back!

Had a great shoot at Sanctum Southampton with WLRose. Communication prior to the shoot was excellent and Sharon met us right in time to open up and show us round and then left us to get on with the shoot. It is a truly unique location with many shoot possibilities and I would definitely like to return for more shoots. My only regret is it’s a three hour journey from me but well worth the travel time - highly recommended. 🙂

This is a unique studio for boudoir and associated shoots. Stylish, sumptuous, luxurious, with such an attention to detail and spotlessly clean; you will simply not find better for the genre. And the owner is so friendly and helpful, happy to leave us to it to shoot as we wished. Very highly recommended indeed.

An amazing beautiful studio. Perfectly clean and tidy with attention to detail everywhere. Everyone needs to shoot here!

Miss Nancy

Well what can I say about this place. It's incredible! Every room is so stylish! The owner welcomed us, showed us around and left us to it and came back when we were finished. She even turned the heating on for us as it was a very cold day!

Every last finishing touch to this place is amazing.

I'd highly recommend shooting here.

Sanctum is a really lovely venue to shoot in. I will definitely be going back as I always find different venues to be a bit of a learning curve. Really pleased with the shots I have processed so far. Sharon the owner is a lovely lady and made me feel very welcome. 110% recommended.

Wow, It's hard to believe your eyes, the most beautiful studio I've ever seen. It is so unique, every last detail is to perfection, the quality of the fixtures and fittings, superb.

A Bedroom, Shower Room, Lounge, Stairs, Hallway, all with stunning decor, say many angles to shoot from, nothing to disappoint.

My good fortune continued as my model was Sinopa Rin, a professional and second to none. Three hours passed in a flash and still the Hall, Stairs, and Shower room had not been used.

A most highly recommended studio, it will not disappoint

Wow wow wow. I don't even know where to start when beginning to describe this incredible place. Every-time you look you notice something new. The decor is gorgeous, black and gold theme throughout, lovely red lighting on the stairs and some beautiful natural light that comes through in the bathroom and bedroom. So may gorgeous spots to shoot in, in two hours we got to explore mostly the bedroom and time went too quickly.

The hosts were on time to let us in, really chatty and down to earth, they gave us a great impression from the get go, really professional and approachable. You can tell how much passion and love went into creating this gorgeous one of kind spots.

We were really able to get some great images and so much left we could have done. Ill be returning for sure, if you get the opportunity to shoot here snap it up. You will not be disappointed! Thank you for having us :)

I had an absolutely wonderful shoot at Sanctum last Sunday and I was blown away by just how beautiful it was, everything was incredibly done with a high spec finish and with alot of love and care. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever shot in and I will be shooting there again in the future. The studio is perfect for all types of shoots whether it be kinky, gothic, fantasy, lingerie, latex.... the list goes on and on. The bedroom was my favourite place with the pole and stunning decor. I would highly recommend shooting in this place because of its grandeur and its uniqueness. There's nothing like it in Southampton so book in if u want an amazing place to shoot in, I can't wait to come back.

Fantastic location and real gem with stunning backdrops. Will definitely use again.

OUTSTANDING

I can't recommend this place enough. For those of you that are local to Southampton and haven't shot here yet, you need to book.

Every detail is immaculate and stylish. And if you want to include any of the toys, you have quite a selection of whips and stuff. Not really my thing, but they are there should you need them. The ceiling mirror is amazing and I included this in many shots (I did a 12-shot, hand-held, vertical panorama which came out awesome).

Just be respectful. This is a working AirBnB and the room/house will probably be rented out afterwards. The owner will come in and clean up after you, but it would be nice to leave it with as little mess as possible. If you want to use the shower, you will probably be required to pay a little more, so any bathroom mess can be cleaned up.

We were allowed 4 people - there was myself, the model (Miss Nancy), MUA (Looks by Liss) and my assistant (my Girlfriend). But there is plenty of room for everyone and all of my lighting kit (which is quite extensive).

Amazing location. A must for any lingerie shoots.

I just completed a shoot at Sanctum Studios and it was great.

It's my second time here and it's a great backdrop for a darker themed shoot. The place is decorated to a very high standard and includes an eclectic mix of fixtures and fittings ;-)

It is dark though so take lights or a tripod/steady model (thanks for that Sophie :-))

Sharon is a great owner/host, very friendly and helpful and prompt to reply to queries beforehand. She showed us around when we arrived and then left us to it until the end of the day.

Parking for one car is available but there is a large open air car park just over the road.

I loved shooting at Sanctum. Highly recommended!!

Thanks Sharon

I have now shot at Sanctum 4 times, and it never fails to deliver! The host and designer of this place has thought of EVERYTHING, down to even the plug sockets and cutlery/crockery in the kitchen. The place is always spotless, impeccably well presented, warm, and very clean.

This place will add a unique feel to any boudoir shoot, but also lends itself so well to art nude, portraiture, lifestyle and fetish - all of which I have now shot here, and Sanctum studio as a backdrop to these has really enhanced the images themselves.

Thanks so much, would of course come back in a heart beat!
