Every time I visit I am amazed by the shooting possibilities at the studio.

On each occasion I have had some particular ideas, with specific images I've wanted to create.

Brian has always been most helpful, with lighting, props and refreshments.The images created here are among my favourites.

Thank you for yesterday Brian, for all your support. I hope to visit again with a list of new ideas.

Brian and the studio are totally recommended! :)

Was back for a brief shoot with Wallis this afternoon and due to timings etc and Brian having to go out we didn't manage to get it sorted to our advantage as such but it was still great to see him again briefly, and he was still very welcoming and as before a great host for even just a short amount of time.

I'm sure I'll be back again very soon anyway and I very much look forward to it.

Thanks again :D

Worked at The Cottage Studio for the first time yesterday for a studio day to set me up on their register as well as working with a couple of other photographers as well. Brian is a great host, and his photography is fab too! We took a good range of photos inside the studio as well as outside whilst taking a wonder and being shown what there is available to use.

The studio is great, with a cute little changing room with everything a model needs in. The studio itself is very spacious and there's also lots of available outfits and accessories that can be used as well as various props. There's also lots of available land to use which is very useful on a nice dry day and only a short walk away which is great to have the versatility of outside as well as inside.

I can't wait to go back again and hope to work there many times in the future.

Thanks for a great day! :D

Brian as always is a great help with setting up lights etc. giving me more time to shoot the images!

A perfect host and able to offer help and advice when needed.

This is a studio that I use on a regular basis and I highly recommend it.

I had a great shoot at The Cottage Studio today. Brian was very friendly and even helped with the cleaning of dust bunnies from my sensor!

Well equipped and everything at hand, I can highly recommend.

Did a second shoot here with Digital Visions and Brian is a lovely guy...Brian is a very genuine guy that is down to earth, easy going and makes you feel very welcome...the studio is perfect too with very high ceilings and props...

I have shot at the studio five times now, every time a warm welcome from Brian, what is at the studio as well as good lighting and advice from Brian, is a pole, silks, rope and hoop for posing. Alternatively there are the possibility of a good locations to shoot in.

The Cottage is the perfect studio for any mad, crazy athletic model like myself - equipped with high ceilings and aerial rigs as well as expert help with lighting from Brian!

I very much enjoyed my three full days at The Cottage, Brian kindly collected me from Haywards Heath Station each day and made sure I was kept cool enough with fans and water in the super duper heated weekend!

The studio is also a short walk from some stunning natural locations - woodlands and bridges which make it very versatile to do half studio half location for example.

There are not many studios in the UK which have the height and space to allow me to jump about, but The Cottage certainly does and I would be more than happy to return!

This week I've spent 2 days at the cottage studio and it's very quickly becoming my favourite place to shoot. It's so versatile, with it's beautiful secluded woodland areas and a studio that is spacious, insulated, fully equipped and warm! Brian is incredibly helpful collecting me from the station and dropping me back, he is a true professional and I always feel 100% safe relaxed and happy in his studio.

Brian is the best kind of studio owner, he's there if you want him but leaves you to it when you're good to shoot. He made sure I was warm and topped up with tea and has an awesome selection of music!

I'll be back in a few weeks to drink more tea and dress up in the fabulous selection of outfits!

Thanks Brian x

Highly recommended.

Great shoot at The Cottage Studio again today. As always, Brian was friendly, welcoming, and a great host. He was good enough to leave us to our own devices throughout the shoot, but was never too far away if I assistance moving lights and reflectors.

Highly recommended.

I made my debut at the cottage studio on a full days studio day.

It's a really nice space with great lighting equipment and I was impressed with how quickly it warmed up!

Brian himself is very considerate and attentive and if me or the photographers needed anything, he would always help out with a smile ☺

Some really impressive props there like the iron ring and the silks too and plenty of outfits and accessories to use.

I really enjoyed my day there and hope to return.

I had a fantastic second shoot at Brian's studio whilst hosting a duo studio day with the talented Minh-Ly.

Brian is always a very generous host and kindly picked both of us up at the station, he continued to show his generosity by making sure we were well equipped with all our needs at the studio and provided us with plenty of cups of tea to keep us fuelled.

I would highly recommend the studio, it is a great space with lots of different props and equipment that you can make full use of. Overall, highly recommend :)

I had a wonderful experience at Photo39's studio. Brian kindly picked both Olivia-Rose and myself from the station and drove us to his studio.

His studio is impressively well equipped with a lighting setups, props (even performance accessories such as aerial silk and hoops), wardrobe and a private dressing room for models.

Brian was always helpful and attentive to everyone's needs and I was impressed by the amount of work he devoted to his studio such as catalogs of pictures done in his studio as well as tons of books related to photography and performances studies (yoga, hoops, etc.).

I greatly enjoyed my experience and I hope to be back again.

Used Brian's Cottage Studio for the first time yesterday on the occasion of Jessica Taylor's studio day. I found him to be very welcoming and very helpful in setting up the lights and various props for the images. He also ensured that the model was warm, essential if she was going nude in the shoot. Nothing was too much trouble for Brian, even to ensuring that morning coffee was provided. I would highly recommend the studio and look forward to visiting again for a photoshoot.

Had a fabulous two days at Cottage Studios last week . Brain was an awesome host , picked me up from the train station , was on hand to help and assist photographers , and follow me around with the stern heating ;) .I was very impressed with this studio , its not the biggest of spaces but hell you can do a lot in that space due to the sheer number of props and clever set ups . Ive seen far more done in this studio than bigger studios . There is also an awsome outdoor space that I didn't get the pleasure to visit . Brain is just wonderful too as he managed to fill both days and I barley lifted a finger . I feel safe and at home in this studio I truly enjoyed my time here . See you soon Jess x
