Last weekend I feel I spent more time at the X factory than I did at home over the two days shooting with two different photographers.

I always feel welcome at the X factory whether shooting with Shelly or other photographers and the space the X factory has gives a huge variety of shooting areas and props.

It's also one of those magical places that you can shoot at repeatedly and even if you are utilising the same space as a previous shoot it will always look different depending on lighting techniques used.

Thank you for the allowing us use of the space and I'll see you again Saturday! :)

Had another great shoot at the X Factory. Its the only studio I can use for the smoke bombs and distress flares I use as it as an awesome rooftop area to shoot from. Always highly recommended.

A big thank you to Shelly as they let us use the Studio at a later hour.

What an *amazing* location! An Urbexing dream - with the extra added luxury of a kettle ;)

The space is just so vast, with so much potential to be used creatively in a variety of ways. I loved all the nooks and corners, the walls, the windows, the floors, the props and furniture, the potential. Can't wait to shoot here again sometime and discover better how the space can be used. 10/10 for anyone looking for something rough and ready!

Another great shoot at the X Factory.

This time with Relle Jayne who absolutely rocks every shoot.

The X Factory is a fun place to shoot with plenty of props & I never run out of ideas.

Shelly is always helpful & on hand if you need anything.

Highly recommended.

I shot at The X Factory recently with Handsworth Photography and it is such a great space!

We were shown around prior to shooting, so we could get a good idea of the possibilities and there are so many!

There are so many props and bits of furniture to use and metal bars/window sills to climb and get interesting shots from. When I was there I put together endless sets with different items to match whatever colour I was wearing!

I would definitely recommend The X Factory to shoot from, there is so much potential here and variety. :)

Had a super time at The X Factory today. It's much more extensive than I had imagined it to be, and Shelly was most helpful showing us the various areas and also suggesting when the natural light would be best at them.

I'd highly recommend the studio, and Shelly was a great host as well.

What a truly wonderful space. I shot at The X Factory for the first time today with the fabulous Shelly.

The sheer scale and opportunities on offer at this studio are immense. The light that beams through the multitude of windows would make any photographer excited. And the array of interesting props/furniture and building fixtures gives so much scope to create stunning images.

I would love to shoot here again and would recommend anyone to book this studio.

I had the Pleasure of meeting Photographer Shelly when Shooting at his Studio in Stoke-On-Trent with another Photographer who had booked.

Shelly was Friendly, easy to get along with, relaxed, hospitable, Professional, just to name a few.

He showed us around the Grand Studio and allowed us to use anything in the Studio.

The Studio itself is a Photographers Dream. The opportunities are endless.

My Creative juices and Photographic Visions began flowing from entering the door and actually haven't finished yet. Look forward to getting back there again in the future to get some of them in to a Camera.

If you are thinking of using this Studio, go for it. It will cover all of your Photographic needs.

Thanks for being a great host also Shelly and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future.
