Wow, this studio is hugeee! The possibilities are endless. Well equipped with all you need but also the windows allow soo much natural light in if that’s the look you’re going for.

Nathaniel, the new studio owner was so lovely, helpful and professional. I even had a cuppa made for me.

The fridge full of drinks ans chocolate biscuits is a nice touch for us as models and the photographers but I thought it was more than generous when Nathaniel told me the fridge rules… a donation, a review or to pay it forward.

I’ll most certainly be back again in the near future!

Thanks Nathaniel! 😃

With the studio under new ownership I had my first shoot at Silkwood Studio today.

Upon contacting the studio Nathaniel ensured the booking was seamless using his new booking facility on the web site. From our first contact he could not have been more helpful. A very quick response to my initial enquiry and very helpful to answer all my questions.

Those who had used Silkwood previously will see little physical difference within the studio at the moment but Nathaniel did divulge a few of his future plans which will only enhance the studio. All the lighting and props that were within the studio remain. It is a superb space, great natural light and an abundance of equipment available to use. I'll certainly be back to use the studio, in fact I believe as early as next month all going to plan:)

I'd certainly recommend Silkwood as a studio for experienced photographers or for those like myself starting down this journey.

Thanks Nath for your help today, a thoroughly enjoyable first visit to your studio.

100% recommended

An excellent find! Roomy, well equipped, plenty of props, and with fantastic natural light softly diffused through northern facing windows - a dream! Karen offers a warm reception and a great brew to boot. Highly recommended.

Silkwood is a wonderful space for dance photography and brilliantly run by Karen. For my shoot with Erica Mulkern she had organised 2 volunteers to help throw fabrics and streamers and the result was some stunning images. The atmosphere is friendly and totally supportive. I'm back there again in a few weeks and can't wait. Thanks Karen :-)

Outstanding shoot with the remarkable Erica Mulkern and Daniel Longhurst yesterday at the wonderful Silkwood Studio. This was a group shoot and was superbly coordinated by Karen with six themes and photographers well organised so that we all got the shots we wanted. Karen's wonderful lighting together with Erica and Daniel's boundless energy and superb dance and modelling skills ensured that the images were great and I have loads to choose from for my editing. Thanks for a great day :-)

1st time for me at Silkwood yesterday and I'm sure it wont be the last.

What a fantastic space it is with so many shooting options and great facilities.

For sure it's one of the very best I've been to.

Thank you for a great day.

I attended Erica's studio day on Sunday. It was lovely to shoot with her and Daniel on their dance themed event at Silkwood Studios. We got some amazing results! The poses were awesome by both Erica and Daniel and they worked well together on the duo dance sets. What can I say! Just book on if you see an event being advertised - you won't be disappointed! It was my first visit to Silkwood as it is a tad far for me to travel but now that I have seen the studio I will be back if I see anything else advertised that will suit me. Karen was fabulous with the lighting and set arrangements and very helpful too. Many thanks,Jann

I had a wonderful honour of having a photoshoot with the talented Ballerina Erica Mulkern at Silkwood Studios. It was Erica who recommended me in the first place to have a shoot at this wonderful studio and I must say I am absolutely impressed.

Karen is great host at this wonderful and amazing studio and she was there to help at every instance wherever I needed her guidance. The studio is so huge and spacious. There are all sorts of facilities available and multiple areas to shoot. There are beautiful hand painted backdrops and light modifiers which made my imagination go wild to think of all the different types of concepts and ideas I can shoot at this amazing studio.

The infinity cove area is also huge. Please look at the images I have shared on my port and you should be able to gauge it for yourself.

Overall I'm absolute impressed with this studio and I highly recommend photographers and models to shoot at this place. I'm looking forward to shoot many more time here. Many thanks to Erica for introducing to this wonderful studio. Karen you are absolutely amazing and many thanks for having me at your studio. :-)

What can I say about Silkwood and Karen...

Today I managed to do my first ever self hosted event with the huge help and support from Karen at Silkwood. I could not have even begun to think of doing this event without all of her help she is truly a magician. Everyone was so happy with how helpful she was and her set ups were incredible. From start to finish she was polite, friendly and so kind to all involved. I have known her for many years and I will always support this amazing studio. It is one of a kind. ♥

Karen's studio was the venue for an event organised by Erica Mulkern and it is huge, so that photographers can split into 2 or more small groups and work simultaneously. She was very welcoming and helpful, and set up the lighting on each set for us. I will definitely be very happy to return to this studio even though it is a long way from home. Highly recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting at Silkwood twice whilst I was in the area.

What a great space! No exaggeration! Karen makes for the perfect host and there are tons of things to get creative with that are already there in the studio. From lighting, to back drops, to props and clothes, you have hours of material to shoot with.

Thank you for having me and listening to my mad stories and humour haha.

Hope to work there again soon.

Absolutely recommend.

Had my first shoot on Friday at Silkwood with the wonderful Zoe Margo.

Really enjoyed it and got some great results. The space is huge and well equipped with plenty of lights, props etc. as well as a changing room for the model. They also have a sound system so you can listen to your favourite music while you work.

Karen is a great host and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome.

I would thoroughly recommend the studio as it is well worth the money to get more professional results.

Thanks Karen and hope to see you again soon!

There is endless of ideas to shoot in any direction of the studio what ever your using with natural light or artificial lights (Strobes)

Two beautiful owners Karen and Victor who welcomed me to the studio on the visit and the shoot day.

Would highly recommend this studio for photographers, models and most of all to my clients.

Even though i live in York and the studio is about a 45 minute journey i Will be visiting this studio again in the near future.

Thank you Karen, Victor for everything

I attended Silkwood studio for a sweet like candy concept shoot with the wonderful Andy, Selena & HauseOfO.

The studio is very large which gives you plenty to work with, offering many different sets throughout the day. Karen was a lovely host and was very happy to help.

The studio is very clean and a real gem!

Highly Recommended!

My first shoot at Silkwood and in fact my first since covid. So slightly nervous as I felt a bit rusty, and add in to which a new space and new equipment. But Karen was there to settle me in and on hand throughout if I had any queries. So it was anything but a learning experience and everything went very well. Lots of different spaces to use and some props on hand to add a drama.

What an amazing studio! The booking and payments system are easy and Karen was friendly and helpful all day. The infinity cove and two natural light areas adjacent to the big windows were all fabulous. I shot with Erica Mulkern and we took some stupendous images. Highly recommended.

First class studio....spacious with big natural windows all round, together with good lighting systems. The booking and payment system is the best that I've come across and don't forget the the amazing host Karen who looked after us so well while we're there.

Highly highly recommended.
