I have just been to my second group shoot organised by Silkwood Studio, both were well organised with keen and enthusiastic models, there is a wide range of setting possible and a good selection of lights and equipment. Lots of support and suggestions, if you are a photographer wanting some experience of using a studio these shoots are a great introduction.

I had a great first shoot at Silkwood Studio last weekend. It is a brilliant space with high ceilings, large windows with great natural light and multiple backdrops with props. From a models perspective it was great to find such a large space that also has heating, as so many of the warehouse style studios can be freezing!!!

The studio also has a great dressing room and makeup area, with plenty of room to arrange outfits and also relax in between sets. There is also a full kitchen and cups of tea were regularly offered which was perfect!

I would definitely use this studio again and recommend it for future shoots.

I used Silkwood for the first time this week as part of a test shoot I was doing with a Leeds based agency. The communication in advance was great, with clear directions provided to help find them.

I was welcomed warmly, offered a coffee and had a chat about what I needed for the shoot. As I was comfortable with setting up the lights, I was left to do my own thing, but always new help was on hand if needed.

The studio is a great space and reminds me of an old warehouse apartment conversion. ( similar to friends for those that watched it ). They have a great white infinity curve, a lounge backdrop with a large variet of props, multiple backdrops and even a swing from the ceiling and trapeze bar.

The thing that impressed me most though was the lighting available. You often get to a studio that says they have plenty of lighting and they have 2 lights with just a couple of modifiers that you have to continually change. That certainly isn't the case here. From memory, there were at least 6 different heads and many more modifiers. Whether it was strip modifiers with eggshells, various size of hexagons, beauty dishes and snoots, I was able to work various lighting sets without having to change heads or move them around.

Silkwood is a new studio, but run by experienced studio owners and photographers and it shows. Nothing was too much trouble, the studio is set up great and they appreciate feedback regarding things that may improve the space.

Highly highly recommended and I have certainly found my base when shoot in the area again.
