I've shot twice now at Scarlet Door, both times with the same group of photographers. Shawn is friendly, considerate, and very easy to get along with. He was on hand to offer advice to the photographers I was working with r.e. lighting setups etc., and was very helpful and knowledgeable!

Definitely recommended, and I would be more than happy to shoot there again in future!

Attended Shawn's recent workshop with the amazing AnnaRose and couldn't be more pleased. It was my 1st time at the studio and I can thouroughly recommend it. The studio is well equipped and spacious and Shawn's delivery of the workshop was relaxed, informative and best of all great fun. I'm sure I will be knocking on the Scarlet Door again soon.

Shawn is awesome! Top studio with no end of props and equipment - Shawn is very friendly and down to earth. Very knowledgable to help with photographers wanting to learn, but not in a teacher vibe way! Professional and fun studio, lovely dressing area to

Look forward to my next trip down :)

Reii and I organised the very short notice Cosplay photoshoot with Shawn at Scarlet Door in about 15 minutes the evening before. I was able to outline the ideas for the sets we were shooting and from there on in for the next couple of hours we get setup and started shooting. Shawn was great and he got the lighting and effects spot on allowing me time to work with Reii on the images.

I attended a studio workshop hosted by Shawn today with a couple of friends and had a great time.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly and Shawn pitched his explanations at precisely the right level.

I highly recommend.

I attended a studio workshop hosted by Shawn last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was great to learn some new techniques in the studio which will help me in my own work. Shawn was a very good teacher, relaxed and provided honest helpful feedback.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly and I will definitely book on some more.

Thank you Shawn. Xx

Scarlet Door is a very well equipped studio with lots of shooting space. The owner Shawn is a great guy and was incredibly helpful during my short shoot with super fast background and set up changes. I am delighted with the results and look forward to working there again, highly recommended!

I attended Arielle Fox's studio day at Scarlet Door last Saturday. It is a great space with all the equipment you need. Shawn is there to help if you need it or leave you to your own if you don't. Very friendly and welcoming (makes good tea). Worth the ninety odd mile drive.

Thanks Shawn.

Finally I had the opportunity to get myself down to scarlet Door for a Studio day recently and Ive got to say I was absolutely over the moon with how it went. Not only was I fully booked (could have sold out more then one day easily!) due to Shawn having such a good client base, I was treated with such respect and genuinely couldnt have been looked after any better. Shawn is awesome in my book and if you get a chance to shoot here models, jump at it! Hope to be back with you soon for more awesomeness :) thanks for having me! Nix x

Had a lovely studio day at Scarlet Door.

The studio owner is very welcoming and you feel instantly at ease as soon as you walk in through the door,

Shawn is always on hand to help the photographers with lighting, changing backdrops or moving props around.

As the model you do feel safe and very much looked after as well as being offered endless cups of tea and sweets.

The studio has a nice well equipped good size changing room area and the studio is also nice and warm on a cold day.

I do hope to go back in the near future.

Highly recommend.

At last! Finally got the opportunity to shoot at Scarlet Door, yay! As a well respected and busy studio I was very happy working there for 2 days, one workshop and a separate booking the next day. Shawn is the perfect host, who really cares about the well being of models whilst there. Extremely helpful to photographers throughout the day. He really knows his stuff and offers good advice and tips, I can't wait to work there again and will certainly include Scarlet Door in my schedule throughout the year.

Highly recommended. :)

I attended a lighting session with Mike Croshaw (http://purpleport.com/portfolio/sadfatoldgit/) and Natasha J Bella (http://purpleport.com/portfolio/natashajbella/) at Scarlet Door. Shawn was welcoming and easy going, effortlessly arranging the lighting in the well-furnished and warm studio. I was impressed by the amount of coloured rolls, the available lighting and facilities. I can recommend both Shawn and Scarlet Door and look forwards to returning there again soon.

Another great night at Scarlet Door with Shawn and Mel Tongue. Cheers all!

Attended an art nude workshop on the 13th Jan 2016 at Scarlet Door, hosted by Shawn and modeled but Mel Tongue. The evening was very relaxed, filled with useful information on the various ways of setting studio lights, and provided my portfolio with what looks like some great images.

Shawn tended to use modifiers that are within the realm of the home studio user, so all of the examples he walked us through are easily transferable to my own studio, with simple tips and tricks to get the most from available equipment.

Scarlet Door is a well equipped, spacious, warm and easy to use studio.

I look forward to returning there soon.

Highly recommended.

Had a great first workshop with Shawn at Scarlet Door last night. An excellent evening! Plenty of info and support from Shawn in a gentle and unhurried way. Learnt a lot about simple light set-ups that give excellent results.

Added to that was the opportunity to work with the very professional, talented and lovely Mel Tongue!

I certainly recommend the studio, Shawn and Mel.

I had a shoot at Scarlet Door, today! It's an amazing space, and Shawn is fantastic, nothing is too much trouble for him! His knowledge of lighting set up is Encyclopaedic, and the range of lights and modifiers is huge!

Scarlet Door is a great studio, loads of interesting areas to work in, and with Shawn on hand to help, it made the shoot an awful lot of fun! I learned loads from Shawn especially when I told him that I'm venturing into the minefield that is product Photography!

Thanks Shawn for making my first experience at Scarlet Door a very pleasurable one!

PS he also makes a mean cup of coffee! :-)
