References for TankSpace

I have had the pleasure of working at TankSpace a few times now and I’m ashamed that this is the first reference I’ve given them!

What a fantastic experience that I never want to step out of! I would happily become a full time underwater model if possible!

The team are wonderful people who prioritise models comfort and make them feel safe. No question is a silly question and it’s not a problem if you don’t get the technique the first time or the tenth time while in the tank, they’re patient and will take you through the steps.

TankSpace has an over flowing collection of props, jewellery and outfits of all styles which are massively size inclusive!

Their lighting set ups are fantastic and can be changed to fit all sorts of themes and vibes. They’re massively helpful towards the photographers in sharing the best settings on your camera to get the most out of the tank and rain room.

Whether you’re a photographer or a model, you will have a fantastic time, you’ll be very looked after and you will not want to leave!

I seriously cannot recommend TankSpace enough!

I had a wonderful time modelling on the Tank Space Renaissance Group shoot last week. Halo, Ell, Robin and Janey were nothing but wonderful on the day. Everything was taken care of- all we needed to do was choose our outfits and have fun! I felt very well looked after and everyone that attended seemed delighted by their images. The day ran very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for the staff at Tank Space. They certainly know what they are doing and I just hope to be back very soon :)

I had the most amazing time modelling for the renaissance themed event organised by the amazing team of humans at the Tank-Space!

Events are always hard work for everyone but Halo, Ell, Robin and guest tutor Jayne where always happy to help with a smile and positive energy :)

The event was very well organised and ran smoothly! The styling provided was beautiful and with endless options of accessories and dresses to play with !

The sets they created were stunning and the lighting was beautiful.. it felt like being on a dreamy theatre productions! Also modelling underwater was so much fun !

It was also nice to see a lot of familiar faces attending the event as well got to meet lots of new talented photographers and models!

I very highly recommend booking your time at this magical space and hope to model again from the Tank-Space soon !

Thank you for everything,

Tankspace is a magical place focusing on the wet element :) From controlling the weather to give people without scuba-gear and waterhousings the ability to take breathtaking underwater photos. I have shot remotely there several times, but this last time was hosted by tankspace. Great models, smooth operation and easy to follow guidance. I am sure I`ll attend more remotes, but on my photographic "bucket"-list is also to visit the place in person.

Have shot here twice, The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, This place is well worth the experience and I highly recommend it.

Having had a very successful shoot here once before with the rain machine, it was time to revisit and try the tank. I will confess to some trepidation as I was taking two models, though experienced, had never shot underwater before.

And then....we met Halo, the studio manager.

In no time at all, Halo had both girls totally at ease in the tank and posing like pros!

I really cannot thank you enough Halo, for all your help and advice throughout the entire shoot, not just to the models, but me as well!

So for a unique experience and staff who will go above and beyond to make your visit a success, I can highly recommend this brilliant studio!

We organised a day at TankSpace with 4 models and 4 photographers (including us) using both their tank and their rain machine space. It was a very enjoyable day and we have hundreds of striking and varied images.

The tank shooting area is well set up. TankSpace staff offer advice to photographers on getting best results and give help where needed to models as well as supervising health and safety instruction. We mostly shot with 2 – and no more than 3 – photographers at a time and that seemed to work well. The rain machine area was new to us but created excellent results. TankSpace helpers also expertly directed smoke onto the scene when asked. The “rainwater” is, incidentally, even warmer than the tank.

Special mention for the friendly and helpful TankSpace crew members - in particular for their help finding ways to make things easier for our wheelchair user.

We recommend TankSpace for anyone looking for this sort of facility.

I had a fabulous time at Tankspace, Halo was amazingly helpful and helped everything go along very smoothly. The clarity of the water was great, the rain area nice and clean.

I got some fabulous video there and will definitely be returning.

Joined a larger group of creative humans for a shoot at tankspace and WOW what a frickin amazing place. There is absolutely nothing quite like it. The creatives that work there know absolutely everything you need to know to capture amazing shots - including Halo and Ell who assisted everyone with everything throughout the 6 hour shooting window we had.

I modelled and photographed and loved every single second. If you get chance, go!!!

My very first underwater modelling event yesterday with the Tank Space ......and I really feel I was in the best and safest place for this to happen ! The staff where sooooo encouraging and supportive in a way I don't think I have ever experienced before ! It was fabulous meeting so many terrific and polite photographers in one place who were all charming to work for. The models where all so very individual with their looks and bodies, their pose and self-presentation brought endless variety it was a delight to see, and so helpful with each other too !.......and then there was the Tank Space wardrobe which was like your very favourite cake shop, soooo full of absolute eye candy I could of played there for days. In conclusion .....if you haven't shot or modelled there ......you should !!!.....thank you wonderful souls...Fleurdelis X

My first time at TankSpace was so amazing! I really need to book another session at this amazing studio as there is so much to explore and learn. I 100% recommend!

Bogwoppett

this is a place I highly recommend.

very helpful. we had Elle in attendance. she gave a safety briefing and lots of advice. She helped Lily, whose first time this was, with guidance and training, including breathing exercises, that really made a huge difference to the shoot.

this was a great experience !

A remote shoot with TankSpace and it was mind blowing!

very good, informative and crystal clear comms.

On the day of the shoot, organised and run very very well, everyone had the time to shoot with help and guidance from the TankSpace team and the amazing models that posed.

I cannot recommend TankSpace highly enough.

I couldn't reccomend Tankspace enough. From a modelling perspective, they care so much about your welfare. Everyone who works there are so sweet and do their utmost to ensure that you're safe, comfortable and confident in and out of the tank. From a photography perspective, Tankspace is really one of a kind and they've thought about literally everything you might need. They have the most spectacular outfits and props ect and they know exactly how to help you to get the perfect shot. Going to Tankspace is such an incredible experience.

I had my first shoot today at TankSpace and was thrilled. The space was warm and inviting and the conditions are perfect. I felt at ease instantly which certainly helps for this kind of work! I was guided by Halo and they are an absolute delight to work with. Would highly recommend TankSpace and hope to be back again soon!

Fleurdelis

I was delighted to be invited to try out at the Tank Space since I was totaly facinated by the whole genrer ! I was quite nervous but Halo was soooo gentle with her instructions I couldnt of wanted to be in better hands. By the end of the session I was feeling quite at home. An excelent facility with everything provided and every care taken for your safty. Im really looking forward to working there. Thank you so much Halo !

I've shot 3 times at TankSpace, and they are such a friendly and fun team. Halo is always so positive, and Elle very nice and caring to the models. Facilities-wise, I've done a fair bit of underwater modelling, and the tank is the most comfortable in terms of temperature and chlorine levels (eye sting kept to a minimal). They also have warm water coming out of the rain machine so very comfortable to model in. I would absolutely recommend them, and I look forward to working with them again!

Straker

Had a chance to work at Tankspace for the first time with the wonderful model @Elegance.

What a fabulous place! Amazing facilities and a super host Kai who was always available, helpful and friendly. I didn't know exactly what to expect and Kai was very generous explaining what works best and how to get the best shots. I couldn't be happier with the results we produced and it's a thrill to add something genuinely different and original to my portfolio.

Thanks for a great time and I hope to be back again sometime soon. Highly recommended!

Having previously joined in on a remote taster session during The Photography Show Online a couple of years back, I recently finally had the chance to properly at shoot at Tankspace when I attended an in person group shoot organised a mermaid performer who is local to me. And I can truly say that this place does not disappoint. I was shooting almost none stop for 5 or 6 hours I was here for, taking over 3000 images and truly feeling in my element as I took full advantage of the possibilities presented by both the rain machine and the tank itself. The setups are both absolutely fantastic with the lighting for both being perfectly setup and expert assistance on hand to help with any changes we wanted to make. I was blown away by my experience shooting here and I hope I get the chance to shoot here again in the future. Very highly recommended!
