I took along one of my fav models Ariannax Walking into Brian's Studio is amazing prop's clothes you name it Brian has it and the amazing thing is he knows where to find everything . We had a great shoot for 4 hours come away with some great images. I highly recommend photo39 studio to both models and photographers.

I shot with TrevorW at the studio yesterday. It's a brilliant space which is very well equipped with various sets to shoot in and a changing room too! Brian was friendly, professional and very helpful. Hope to come back in the future!! :)

The studio its self is great, I love shooting there, it has everything you need. Loads of props and I always have a laugh!

Cant wait to come back in April!

Had a 4 hour shoot at Brian's fabulous studio today. Excellently equipped with both lighting and wardrobe. Numerous posing options and choice of backgrounds. Brian remains in the background but is always on hand to offer help and advice and nothing is too much trouble. Will most definitely be using the studio again if Brian will have me.

I had a lovely morning shooting with Brian at his studio. This is the second time I have worked with him and as before he was as lovely as ever. He has an amazing space, I refer to it as Mary Poppins handbag or Aladdin's Cave, just full of wonderful props including aerial hoops, silks and a huge wardrobe! The studio is warm and spacious and one of my very favourites!

I will definitely be returning as Brian has kindly set me up on his register and I look forward to catching up with him again soon.

Here with Arielle Fox last week. Great studio, lots of lighting, accessories and props with various backgrounds too. Also gallery area with natural light. Brian, the proprietor, was on hand when needed for lighting advice and setting up which was extremely helpful. Not the easiest place to find as the site is quite large so best to call on arrival. Will be back.

I spent almost three days working at Brian's studio last week/ this weekend. I don't think I traumatized him too much... ;)

Brian spent the entire time running about helping all the photographers, making sure I was warm/ hydrated and tirelessly put the props up/ down and away without complaint. He set up the lights when needed and even put up with/ laughed at my terrible jokes :D

Brian is a really nice and down to earth guy- we had time to catch up (as it was 2012 when we last met) and chat between slots and I felt warm, welcome and looked after throughout my stay!

The separate changing room is great and the amount of props there are to play with is also great- the height of the ceiling is such a bonus!

I loved working there and by the sounds of it/ the amount of happy customers... I will be back in no time! Thanks, Brian :)

Thanks Brian!

Hope to work with you again soon!

I've had two shoots at Brian's studio now.

Brian's a lovely friendly welcoming guy, I love the studio it's got everything you could ever need. Plenty of clothing, shoes, wigs, props, backdrops ect.... Even a shower in the corner.

Loads of places too shoot around the studio too.

Even got a nice changing room with mirrors and all the stuff you need to get ready for your shoot.

I would recommend this studio to any model or photographer.

Thanks Brian

Last Saturday I had a shoot booked with Rebecca Tun. On the way to the Cottage Studio I had a freak accident which meant that my car needed to be repaired before I could drive home. Brian took control and managed the repair so that I was able to work with Rebecca.

Lighting advice and set ups were provided, posing suggestions offered and tea provided.... and my car was ready to drive when I left! Brian was a complete star! :) Thank you.

The studio was warm and the shoot very rewarding. While this was only my second visit it is a place I enjoy very much and I hope to be able to return again soon.

Very highly recommended! :)

Ive worked at Brians studio many times and I absolutely love it. He is one of the best studio owners I know and is always organised, professional, reliable and also an absolute gentleman. He is always on hand to make sure everybody has a cup of tea or coffee in their hands and the studio is always warm which makes such a difference! On my recent trip to the studio I worked with AnnaRose over two days there and as before he was so helpful, driving us to the shop on breaks to get some food.

He comes highly recommended and I will definitely be back!

Thanks so much Brian :)

I have lost count at the amount of times I have worked at the Cottage Studio. This time, Brian held a two day studio day for me and Ayla as a duo. Both days went brilliantly and the studio is just perfect for doing athletic/acrobatic work.

Throughout the entire event, Brian was extremely helpful, set up lights if needed and made sure we was comfortable at all times by providing refreshments and copious amounts of tea/coffee.

I think I have known Brian and the studio for 5 years and every time I am there, I have a wonderful experience and not to mention Brian is one of the kindest Studio owners I have met.

Thank you once again and I will be back soon.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Brian for the first time last week when I went there to do a shoot with Anna Rose and Ayla. The studio is superb with lots of great lighting and props and Brian is a great host always happy to help setting up the Lighting and give advise. I certainly hope to use his studio again very soon

Wow... what a fabulous facility Brian runs at the Cottage Studio. From its high ceiling, to huge range of lights, modifiers, apparatus and props this is a top-notch studio.

Not only that, but Brian is so very helpful. It made my half day working their race by all too fast. It's kind of hard to think of anything the studio doesn't have, Very highly recommended . I will be back very soon. Many thanks Brian.

I have just used the studio for the first time.

The equipment is excellent and there was help and advise when needed.

I am very happy to thoroughly recommend this studio.

Just a brief note to recommend Photo39. Brian was great: very helpful when I needed help and out of the way when I didn't. First rate - many thanks.

JLBSmith

Brian was excellent.

I was delayed arriving due to an accident on the motorway. This didn't bother him. He was great with advice, including things specific to my Nikon camera. He was out of the way when I didn't need help. he offered drinks as needed.

As I'd arrived late, I finished late. I offered to pay extra, which he declined as my time actually in the studio was the same as I had booked.

The studio has plenty of equipment and props. I could have spent ages there and doubtless will in the future.

Highly recommended.

Yesterday was my first ever visit to the Cottage Studio. I loved it and hope to be back in the not too distant future. The facilities are first class, with high ceilings and everything runs in a very slick and efficient manner.

Brian, the owner, is the perfect host. Always present, never intrusive and yet always available to give words of advice and guidance and to provide lighting and props as and when required. :)

I felt as though I had arrived in Aladdin's Cave. ;) There were so many things I would have liked to try but time ran out too quickly.

Brian and the studio are both highly recommended. I hope to be able to return again soon.

Ayla

Ive worked at The Cottage studio a few times now and I absolutely love it. The space is really big and the models area is always real cosy. Brian is one of the best studio owners I have ever met! A great host, always making sure Ive got a drink in my hand and checking whether it is too cold, too warm etc. Brians communication is excellent and he is always really helpful to the photographers.

Highly recommended,

Looking forward to my future visits!

The Cottage studio is one of my first choices when I am visiting the Brighton area and surrounds! The owner, Brian is very professional, kind and considerate. He is always on hand if you need help with lighting and a thoroughly nice person to be around. The studio is a safe haven for models and always supervised, without being intrusive, it is the perfect balance.

The studio is always clean, a great space to use, with all of the props, wigs and wardrobe you could need if you get stuck for ideas or need further inspiration! The only problem is, like me, you may fall in love with a few items and want to take them home ;) I absolutely love the Silks also attached to the ceiling, which are great fun for the model and photographer to interact and take stunning images.

I had another lovely day at this fantastic studio and will definately be back soon! I only wish I could have been there longer, thankyou Brian for your kind hospitality again. Super highly recommended, Helen x
