Met brian for the first time today, when I booked his studio to shoot Camy and Larysa. Hi even stayed open an extra hour for me since I was late in the day. A great guy and helps a lot, I would highly recommend him and his studio

Had my first shoot at The Cottage earlier this week. A warm welcome from Brian who was then very helpful whenever I wanted support. He was there to set up the 'silks' & hoop for the shoot, accompanied us on location near the studio. A great selection of props. A highly recommended studio.

Shot over four times in the cottage studio now. Brian has always been incredibly helpful to the photographers working within the studio with a wide range of lights, props and outfits.

Also supplies a fantastic cup of tea!

Highly recommended studio.

This is my 5th time working at the the Cottage Studio. I haven't been here for some time but since my last visit the studio has continued to gain amazing props and equipment. It is completely unique and versatile, the space can be used many different ways and It is one of the most well equipped studios I have had the pleasure of working in. This is truly a fun, exciting studio to use and I always look forward to working here. I really enjoyed updating my profile for the model register with Brian.

Had a super shoot at The Cottage Studio. The facilities are 100% and there is an aladins cave full of treasure to use as props.

The reception was friendly and relaxed and I really enjoyed shooting there. Looking for the first opportunity to go back.

My first vist to the studio on Saturday to attend a modelling day with _Elise_. I actually could not believe the amount of lighting Brain has here. All neatly tucked away but ready at a moment notice. He was able to assist when asked and advise when I got stuck. The safety of his models is paramount especially when doing areial work, and it was excellent to see that everything was double checked but he also had the equipment to safely adjust things singled handed. Great studio. Great studio owner, a very pleasant, decent chap and his coffee aint bad either. Highly recommed this unique studio.

I have just done another 2 day Studio Days at The Cottage Studio in West Sussex last weekend after my previous one in April went so well.

Brian is very accomodating and has everything you need and more in his studio. Infinity Curve/Black backdrop for art-nude, fashion shots. A bed for glamour/lingerie shots, silks, hoop and trapezes for performers or those daring to have a go...they make excellent pictures. He has a balustrade and pillar which look brilliant for fashion or art nude images. The natural light window upstairs is beautiful for some soft lingerie/headshots.

He has a clean toilet and the dressing room is amazing, lovely mirror area with lights so you can see what you are doing, a sink and wash area if needed, a variety of toiletries, hair spray and make-up if needed plus props and a huge wardrobe of clothes and accessories. There is nothing more you could want at a Studio than at The Cottage. I love working there and looking forward to another in the future :)

Thank You, Tillie x

The studio here is the most exciting I've been to so far. It's very spacious with good lighting and lots of good props and outfits!

Very reasonable rates for the hire and has a good location surrounding it for the best of both worlds.

I used The Cottage Studio a number of times with the 16th March being the latest visit to do a shoot with Elle Black as a Model and Sylvi du Sauzay as the Make Up Artist.

The shoot was initially intended as a 1 to 1, but ended up being a Group Shoot, which worked out very well.

Brian helped me immensely in taking the bookings on my behalf for the group shoot and also made sure that Elle Black was able to get to the studio with great ease.

The studio has a wide number of facilities available, and every time I go there, I am amazed as to what can be achieved with the equipment available.

I would highly recommend the studio to anyone who asks.

Have used The Cottage studio about 12 times now, over the last 3 years. There's a great wood attached to the site, so definitely try it out when the bluebells are in bloom. The studio has great height, with a mezzanine level for shooting down onto the model/set. Brian is very friendly and helpful with setting things up.

I worked at Brian's studio on the 21st of this month for my studio day. Brian was very welcoming and on hand to help all day. He was friendly, helpful and good company in the hour lunch break. Brian made sure I was warm enough and had enough tea to keep me going!

The studio was clean, warm and cozy. There was plenty of space to work with and lots of equipment to use. I very much enjoyed working with the rope hung from the ceiling and am looking forward to seeing the results from the shoots! :O)
