References for The X Factory

Recently I completed my 9th Shoot at the X factor, so its time to leave a reference.

The X factory is not a photo studio its a photographic playground

The opportunity to shoot in wide open spaces is great and combined with the industrial backdrops offers the opportunity to try something different

Stocked with a range of props it enables the photographer to build a complete picture

Friendly support is on hand, but the great benefit is the natural light, large windows enable light to flood into the spaces, so you can get great images

Its a testimony to the studio that after 9 times I can still find new thing to shoot

Very Very Highly Recommended

Highly recommended :)

My first shoot today at the X factory and it did not disappoint. The place was everything i wanted and more. Photographer @shelly was professional,friendly and directed perfectly. He knew what he wanted along with myself and it went amazingly. Would highly recommend and will return in future for more shoots.

I shot at the X Factory on Friday with Kevin and it is an amazing space with some great plans in the future.

It is a fantastic space for natural light shots and is very highly recommended.

There is an assortment of furniture and props which would all make for great images and endless ideas.

Can’t wait to go back 😊

Had a little studio day at The X Factory and I must say Kevin has been a great host, helping with showing togs in and around the studio.

I reccomend anyone to shoot there if they want a studio with loads of opportunities and filled with natural light.

First time shooting at the X Factory and it was brilliant experience . Must admit - largest studio I have ever been to - full of nice sets and props . Pre communication was spot on . We met at the station and headed to studio . During the shoot I felt comfortable - we created vast amount of great images and looking forward to work with X Factory soon again in near future . He has keen eye on angle and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough . Thanks again for amazing experience . Highly recommended

Hired the X Factory for a 4 hour shoot.

Communications were very prompt.

We were greeted in the car park and was helped with carrying my equipment inside, much appreciated.

We were shown around all the rooms, offered us the tea and coffee and were then left to shoot.

We used several areas available and if you think you want to cover all the areas I suggest you book the place for a whole month or longer!

We had a great shoot.

More appreciation for the help at the end of the shoot carrying my stuff back to the car.

I'll be back!

Highly recommended.

Worked here today with capri six, fantastic space, lots of props and lots of Windows for natural light.

Has a fabulous grungy feel.

Would highly recommend.

Fantastic venue, great urban location with lots of space and beautiful natural lighting. We love the peeling paint walls with colours of blue and yellow which look great in shots. Plenty of props there plus there is also a roof and courtyard for outdoor shots.

Kevin who manages the building is very friendly, great communication and easy to deal with.

Highly recommended!!!

Roswell Ivory

I had another fantastic event at The X Factory last month (sorry about the late reference!). I'm coming back next week as it's such a great place to shoot from- Kevin made sure I had all the music, snacks and coffee I could want and even gave me a guided tour of the area while I was waiting for my train! The studio is such a great, versatile place to shoot from and I highly recommend it! :)

Kevin R

First shoot at the X Factor. Kevin provided a warm welcome and comprehensive tour of the massive space. Plenty of natural light and a real urban feel without the need to tackle broken glass and other hazards. Recommended.

I had my first shoot at the X Factory today with the excellent Roswell Ivory. I can honestly say that I have never encountered a studio quite like it! I was met and shown around by the very helpful owner, Kevin, and was amazed at the variety of photo opportunities on offer in the old factory’s rooms spaces, nooks and crannies. In the few hours that I spent there I don’t think I even scratched the surface of what this wonderful building provides. Definitely a place to revisit. Highly recommended!

Wow, wow, WOW!!!!!!

I hosted a studio day at The X Factory during my recent tour and I am so glad that I did.

This place is "right up my street" with plenty of natural light, quirky features, derelict feel, masses of props and oodles of space.

Kevin was on hand to meet my photographers and kindly collected and dropped me back to the train station too.

Highly recommended and I hope to get the opportunity to return in the future. :D

Had my first shoot at "The X Factory" Studio and exceeded all my expectations.

The Studio is large and with plenty of natural light.

The potential to be creative is "Endless"

I will definitely use the Studio again.

Had a great shoot at the X Factory with Black Beauty it's an exciting urban space with the best peeling paint I've ever seen, lots to go at, Kevin was really friendly and helpful I'm hoping to get at least a couple more shoots in this year thanks!

MariaGu

I had my first shoot with Kevin in Gloucester.

He is such an amazing photographer!

Very friendly, professional, aware of the images he wants to get and poses he expects from the model.

Our shoot was very relaxed but on a very professional level.

Thank you Kevin so much for an opportunity to work with you!

Hope to shoot with you once again.

Absolutely recommended!

I had my first studio day at the X Factory and it was very successful! It's vast with many rooms of natural light and lots of Urbex character. Kevin kindly set up the changing room for me with rail and heater which was much appreciated.

I loved the windows, peeling paint, props, roof space, brickwork and things to hang from!

I was shooting there for 9 hours using indoors and outdoor spaces and the time flew by. Thank you Kevin for having me and I hope to be back soon...
