It was my first time shooting at The Pit yesterday and just WOW! I will definitely be returning!

I'd heard a lot of good things and couldn't wait to see it for myself, the lighting and general atmosphere is amazing and there's so many different options as the light moves from room to room.

The shots we got yesterday were stunning and I will definitely be shooting there again soon!

100% recommend this studio to anyone!

Had my first shoot at The Pit Studio today and I can't wait to shoot there again! There is so much space to use, with fantastic natural light to use in the shots! There are plenty of different props to use which is excellent to add more to the images taken with a great selection of rooms!

Danny's communication was excellent prior to the shoot and I highly recommend this studio! :)

Great shoot at the Pit this weekend. Good communication with Danny before hand. Some interesting props around the site and as usual the light was excellent.

Came away with exactly the shots I was after.

Fantastic place to shoot,

different rooms offer different lighting to give off pleasant- eerie effects to images.

Very dusty so if you want to do more than one shoot maybe take some baby wipes ;)

was a pleasure to shoot here with Davecphotography :D

Great shoot again, some new chairs we hadn't used before, I'm sure we captured some good images, love the walls.

I was in Nottingham today, and called at the Pit on spec. Danny was there, and kindly offered to show me around. There are some awesome areas there with lovely natural light coming through the massive sash windows. The general dilapidation makes it a photographers dream, creating a lovely mood. definitely one for the future. Thanks Danny.

I had a great shoot at the pit with Rebecca Lotus.

The eerie, industrial feel to this place is fantastic and there is stacks of natural light to work with as well as plenty of different areas to shoot.

This was my first visit and it won't be my last.

Thanks Danny :)

Ps Rebecca is awesome too...

The Pit is highly recommended to any photographer wishing to shoot with an industrial backdrop

Not only that The Pit has fantastic natural light coming through many windows but also provides really deep shadows for control of contrast. Several areas to shoot in and I definitely want to shoot here again.

Thanks Danny

I was a part of a group shoot today at The Pit. As always, shooting there is an atmospheric experience; the brickwork, floorboards and abundance of natural light make this studio a tremendous place to work in. The four main rooms have plenty of space and character, all adding up to an unconventional studio. Fully recommended.

It was my first shoot at the pit on saturday as part of a group shoot with some friends. Its a fantastic venue with lots of character and just the right amount of dust and decay! The natural light is amazing and lots of hidden bots and pieces the make for some great photos. Also has the rather nice bonus of the pub underneath that serves great food!

Would love to shoot here again and I'm sure i will! Must just mention the ghostly goings on where two chairs moved while Catalina Love and myself were shooting on the other side of the room!

It was my first time at the Pit yesterday,and Holy jesus! I will be back again!

I was genuinely in awe by the interior of the place and it is such a fantastic place to work in!

I honestly dont think this is a place I could ever get bored of, theres so much space, so much to work with and the natural light is amazing!

Yeah, Im coming back :p 10/10 !

This was my 2nd time at The Pit Studio for a group shoot with 4 photographers, 4 models and a MUA.

Although there were 9 of us, there was plenty of space and we never tripped over each other at all during the day.

The natural light is amazing, but if you did want to take portable lighting, there's plenty of space for that too.

Each room is very different and your creativity can take you anywhere you want to go.

100% recommended and will definitely work there again.

Danny and his staff are very easy to deal with, communication is good, and the whole booking process is simple. The Pit itself has a great look to it - bare floorboards, brick walls and plenty of natural light, as well as a random collection of furniture and props. There were nine of us working on a collaborative day at the Pit, and there was still plenty of space for us all to work in. A great place, full of atmosphere, and I look forward to returning!

Wonderful two days shooting at The Pit!

As a lover of natural light this is truly the perfect location for me! Endless possibilities, I saw so many areas I need to go back and shoot again!

Great central location, Danny was the perfect host. Just couldn't find a better location for the money in the country I don't think!

No airs, no graces, does what it says on the tin.

Awesome, will be returning!

First time shooting at the Pit today. And what an amazing venue!

Don't book if you want white walls and plain backgrounds. Do shoot if you want lots of natural light, amazing texture, interesting props and lots of light and shadows! I didn't take any studio lights and managed to shoot for 4 hrs without any problem at all.

Parking in the local NCP is literally over the road so easy getting your gear there with little fuss.

Definitely heading back again in the near future, it is more than worth the journey.

First visit to The Pit today, amazing place!! Worked with Betha Maeve and we only had about an hour of light before the skies outside turned themselves off, we got some great images. Betha has been here quite a few times so she gave me a tour, could easily spend days upon days here, outstanding!! Thank you very much to all involved, a true gem of a studio

This is a joint reference for my 3 visits to the Pit in the last 3 weeks. Such an amazing space! I could shoot there every day and would probably never get bored of it - there's just so much space and props to use, it suits so many different styles and it helps getting the creativity flowing :) Can't wait to come back already! 10/10 - Can't recommend enough!

I recently had another full day booked at The Pit studios and had a great time! I had a full 8 hour studio day which was exhausting but as always super productive and full of gorgeous images working through the rooms, working mostly with the natural light there!

Its such a great creative space and I am looking forward to visiting again very soon! Every photographer went away with fantastic images and were very happy! The Pit is "The Urbex meets the indoors" its a photographers dream- and a models- as we get to keep nice and warm indoors! :) Highly recommended :) Helen x

Third time shooting at the Pit and it never fails to suprise me - always something new to see , a room to explore, beautiful natural light to experiment with. If you haven't shot there it is difficult to describe exactly what you are missing, all I can say is "beautiful decay".

Thoroughly recommended. Make yourself a booking, you wont be disappointed.
