This was my second shoot at The Apex Studio. I returned there while travelling and chose it because of the well organised set up and the professionalism, helpfulness and friendly nature of the owner, Trev. I shot a local model there, BBG10, who was unknown to both Trev and I. The shoot went well and Trev, knowing that I preferred natural light left me to it while shooing using the great window illumination. He really helped with the flash set ups...which he prefers to light his subjects. Consequently I made many images which are useable and are/will be on here and other sites . Would definitely recommend this studio to any photographer and will visit again. Good tea too Trev!

I had an incredible shoot with Emma held at the apex studio.

Trevor, continues to show why he is an amazing photographer and his advice and willingness to assist in getting incredible shots is legendary.

Thank you Trevor for everything you do.

Having attended several group shoots I booked my first 1-2-1 with visiting model Emma3 after talking to Trevor. He helped me sort out a dump of ideas into a working shoot plan. The shoot itself flew past and with Trevor's lighting knowledge I got the images I wanted and plenty more. Thanks Trevor hope to get another shoot in soon.

I had the honour of getting to shoot in Kev's very own studio with the man himself. Reliable communicating before the shoot. He let me have studio days at his studio too. He helped me carry my load of stuff up the stairs to the studio. He showed me the changing room I could use, then the rest of the studio. I learnt fast that this man is a lighting expert with his own studio equipment. HIs studio has backgrounds and different scenes to use. Name something, he probably has it. He chooses to help and teach those who need help, 1:1 face to face or as a group or even remotely. We need more people like that. He helps photographers who use his studio. He does not run off like some studio owners do. He is sensible and very respectful to models. He directed me as well as let me pose myself. He leant me clothes to wear for the shoots which was nice so I do not wear my same outfits again. He may move to a bigger studio at some point, but until then I suggest people keep going there. His studio is great value for money. But compared to other studios, he should charge more money than the studios who's owners do not stick around to help, but still charge extortionate amounts of money regardless.

We chatted while he was taking pictures and i felt comfortable in his presence. The shoot with him went quickly. He does not push levels. Highly recommending Kev as an ace studio owner and photographer and editor.

Worked with Trevor for the first time at a networking event. Trevor was super cool to work with, has plenty of ideas flowing and knows how to capture a great image. Also very easy to get along with. Would recommend and would work with again.

Worked with Trevor at the recent ARB Studios networking night in Stoke. Trevor was super cool and on board with me and the artistic ideas I had to share, and also managed to bring out some unexpected gems in settings I hadn't previously thought of (gel lighting, straw bales etc) I haven't yet been to the Apex itself, but I am sure that if you can get there to work with Trevor as a model or a photographer you will be very happy with the end result. See you on May 26th!

It was a pleasure to finally visit Apex Studio and see Trevor again having been booked to work there by two photographers this weekend.

All pre comms with Trevor were great, and he was of course incredibly welcoming!! He even carried my ridiculous case for me - What a guy!!! Haha!! :P

The studio itself is really well equipped with plenty of sets, props, outfits and lighting - You could spend hours and hours here and still find something new to shoot!! There is also a lovely natural light space and we were very lucky to get some beautiful light coming through!! The dressing room is comfortable and well equipped and the studio space itself was lovely and warm.

Trevor was always on hand all day and was really helpful with lighting set ups and moving props around as required. He also makes a great cuppa!!!

I would absolutely reccomend Trevor and the Apex studio and I look forward to being back again soon!! Thank you Trevor!!

Tremendous shoot with Miss Rosie Lee at The Apex Studio in Telford. Rosie is such an experienced model, her witty charm makes it so easy to get great images, not sure how she keeps a straight face when needed though!

The studio owner Trevor is brilliant with his technical and creative support.

A great studio, easy access to M54, easy parking and easy to recommend.

Second time having a studio at apex studio

I had such a great time and Trevor always thinks of the most amazing ideas and amazing set ups

Trevor is so talented and always on hand on studio days.

We did 3 different themes and each very different styles

I cant wait for the next time!

Andy53

Booked a studio session for a 2 hour shoot with Trevor. We had a theme in mind which Trevor was kind enough to offer lighting and technique skills to us to help acheive the shots we hoped for. A warm reception and very helpful place to conduct your shoots from. I'm sure I'll see Trevor again soon.

I held another remote studio day at Apex recently and Trevor was as helpful as ever, sorting out all the lighting set ups and backdrops, moving the equipment to different areas.

I had 3 different shoots and got a wide variety of shots (even when shooting in the same area), Trevor sorted some valentines themed sets for me and was able to transform the bed area etc when needed. He was chatty with the togs and helped the day go as smoothly as possible (despite me forgetting to allow for breaks), Trevor always puts his all into any shoot at the studio and it is much appreciated!

Highly recommended as always :)

This was my first time using this studio but I will return in the future. Trevor made myself and my models Archingaimee, Alissia Blue and ElaineClair very welcome. Trevor was on hand to build sets and help with lighting where required a highly recommended studio

ElaineClair

I had a great first visit to this lovely hidden gem of a studio. I had a booked session with Megapixel. It has a really great array of sets and plenty of backdrops. Trevor was lovely and helpful and a joy to be around. Such a helpful gentleman. I hope to come back here in the near future. I recommend it to any photographer or model. Thank you.

I enjoy doing group shoots and the apex studio does a good job doing these and are well organised with great themes.

Trevor tests the themes with the model in situ and micro adjusts the lights then explains what you should be getting with your camera and then checks you are happy with what your getting on your shoot, with is a good thing in my book.

Recommended from beginners to seasoned pro's.

Second ever Model Shoot first one the week before Trev was really welcoming and I got some great images. The other Photographers at the shoot Gary (RIP) Pottsy and Simon were really helpful and welcoming. Relaxed but very professional workshop.

Having attended a few (online remote shoots) events held at Apex, Telford every single event has been a joy to attend. A true privilege.

I have attended 3 of Trevor's event's now and have never been disappointed with the results.

Trevor takes great care with the lighting setups so that you achieve the best results.

It is a friendly studio to go to and you are always made welcome.

If you have not been on any of there event's give it a try.

Thank you Trevor.

After another fantastic shoot at Apext I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding workshops and warm hospitality provided by Trevor on numerous occasions. As a photographer, I have had the pleasure of participating in several workshops at your studio, and each experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

The workshops conducted at Apex have been invaluable to my growth as a photographer. The expertise shared during these sessions, especially in the realm of lighting techniques, has proven to be instrumental in refining my skills and elevating the quality of my work. The commitment to education and the seamless execution of these workshops by yourself are truly commendable.

I must also extend my gratitude for the consistently excellent lighting setups in the studio. The attention to detail and the availability of top-notch equipment significantly contribute to creating an optimal shooting environment. The dedication to maintaining a professional and well-equipped space reflects the studio's commitment to supporting photographers in their creative pursuits.

Equally noteworthy is the warm and welcoming atmosphere fostered by Trevor. Every visit has been a pleasure.

The open communication and willingness to assist with any inquiries or concerns have made my experiences at Apex truly enjoyable.

I look forward participating in future workshops. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the photography community and for providing a friendly environment where we can create imagery.

Kind regards Ryan

I attended my second one of Trev’s workshop evening’s yesterday and what a great time I had!

It’s clear that he puts a huge amount of effort into these events. Carefully planning themes and lighting sets in advance. He had also sent me across a mood board to ensure I selected the most appropriate clothing to fit the theme and didn’t over pack which I often find myself doing when travelling to studios 🙈 I was very grateful for this!

Whilst there, he is a fabulous host to both models and photographers, helping and guiding everyone to ensure the best photos are taken.

Thank you so much for another fun evening Trev and look forward to seeing you again in March! ☺️☺️
