"Where do I even start? This is my second time at Image Red Studios. I had two one to one shoots and an evening workshop.
Firstly the administration and precoms with Simon were brilliant and the marketing was super.
The studio itself has 8 sets, an outdoor area and a rain set and suspension / aerial. There's such variety and they change it to keep it fresh. Everything is clean, tidy and very well organized and very professional. The dressing room os lovely and spacious, last time I shared it with 3 other models and we all had enough space for the explosion of shoot packing etc....
The welcome both times I have shot here was great and I felt truly looked after for the entire day, coffee and water flowed to keep me going and nothing was too much trouble.
I had a total blast and have several more bookings there and a future model day in the works too. Can't recommend them enough and really looking forward to working there again"

"I spent 2 days working at Image Red studios on 2 sold out model days. This was my first time being back at the studio in 6 years and the studio is now under new owners.
I have to say I am very impressed with how Simon, Becky and John have improved the studio and made it their own. They have put a lot of effort and hard work in cleaning the studio up and renovating it to it's full potential and it's great to see.
The studio is a big space, great reception area, models changing room is very clean with loads of space and great mirrors-models will be very comfortable.
The studio has a main area down stairs with white cove and backdrops and rain area, up stairs you have even more space and sets and rooms to use-amazing.There is also a garden area out of the back which is in use of a sunday, great addition and use of space.
I was hosted by Simon who couldn't be more helpful to me and the photographers, making my time at the studio very enjoyable indeed.
I am already looking forward to going back next year.
Highly Recommended
Thank you"

"Image Red Studio completely exceeded my expectations and is, without a doubt, one of the best studios I've had the pleasure of working in. From the moment we arrived, Simon made us feel incredibly welcome. He very kindly came in an hour earlier than planned at the last minute to accommodate our shoot, which was hugely appreciated.
He showed me to my dressing room, which was exceptionally well equipped with plenty of mirrors and space for my belongings, as well as clothing, shoes, robes to wear between sets, props, makeup, deodorant, wipes and everything else you could possibly need. There was even a personalised welcome sign waiting for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. Complimentary water, coffee and biscuits were also available throughout the day.
Simon then gave us a tour of the studio, and I was genuinely blown away. There are so many different rooms, themed sets, backdrops, props and lighting options that the creative possibilities feel endless. There's even an outdoor shooting area. My favourite section was the incredible water and steam set with the neon lighting – it was unlike anything I've seen before.
Throughout the day, Simon was on hand to help us set up each scene, assisting with the lighting and camera settings before leaving us to shoot in complete privacy. He struck the perfect balance between being available when needed and allowing us the freedom to create.
The professionalism, attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. I can't recommend Image Red Studio highly enough, and I sincerely hope I'll have the opportunity to shoot there again in the future"

"I had a wonderful shoot at Image Red yesterday with Kym Williams. After 12 months since Simon.Jon,and Becky took over the Studio it has continued to improve every time I go. It is clean,tidy and every part of the Studio has been used to great effect.
All three owners work hard at not only maintaining the Studio but changing sets or improving them keeping it vibrant.
Yesterday Simon was on hand to help when needed and he made sure everything ran smoothly.
I always feel relaxed at Image Red as the Studio is run so well taking care of models and photographers alike"

"Image Red studio is one of my favourite studios. Mark and I have booked studio time, tuition and attended group events, and every time it’s such a pleasure. Jon, Becky and Simon are always going above and beyond to ensure everything goes well. The studio space is lovely, with various sets and the rain stage is very well worth using.
They will set up lighting and are happy to change set ups multiple time, together with backdrops. They have a great supply of props for models and the sets. A professional studio, that gives a warm welcome and makes lovely coffee! 😀
100% recommend"

"Image Red Studio is up there with one of the best studios i work in. Simon's pre shoot communications are what dreams are made of - he answers quickly and efficiently with every point seen to. I'd organised a two day weekend studio day and Simon worked tirelessly behind the scenes. This in itself shows just how much the management value their studio and clients, going above and beyond.
Simon was instrumental in the success of the event and kept me up to date on bookings as well. I knew who I was working with ahead of time and had links to their portfolios too.
The studio itself is wonderfully versatile with everything you could think of. Additionally, they really care about model comfort and they prioritise this, making sure models are well kept. Simon is always on hand for assistance but equally happy to let you get on with it. Thankyou for absolutely everything, I really appreciate your hard work. See you in January!"

"I spent yesterday evening at the wonderful Image Red studio on a group shoot event inspired by Helmut Newton!!!
All pre comms with Simon in the lead up to the even were great! He made everything easy to organise and was really forthcoming with ideas and sets for the shoot!!
On the day, me and Simon did a quick 1-1 to test all the lighting for the 3 sets, followed by the group event with 6 wonderful photographers.
Throughout the event I felt very well looked after by all the team at Image Red and I saw lot of wonderful images appearing throughout the night!!
I would of course highly reccomend Image Red and look forward to being back there again soon! Thanks for another wonderful creative evening!!"

The event was exceptionally well organised, with a welcoming atmosphere that allowed both models and photographers to get the most from the evening. The sets and lighting were thoughtfully designed to suit the theme, providing plenty of creative opportunities throughout the session.
The team at Image Red Studio were professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Communication was excellent both before and during the event, and it was clear that a lot of effort had gone into creating an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

"Its been a while since I shot at Image Red Studio, but I can fully recommend it.
We had a shoot arranged with Olivia Rose & had a great fun shoot.
The studio is now fully equipped with everything you need to produce great images & has a great range of sets over 2 floors including a rain set, manor room boudoir & many more.
The studio has been improved immensely since being taken over by the new owners, Simon, Becky & Jon, so if you have been before, but haven't been since the new owners took over, then I highly recommend a visit to see all the improvements & to meet the very friendly & helpful team.

"This was my first shoot at Image Red and as an evening group shoot they had pitched the number of photographers and the 121 timing just right. The atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming and as a photographer returning to shooting after a long break, super encouraging too. Becky, Simon and Jon were on hand to offer technical help and advise if needed but didn't crowd or push advice and were also happy to leave you to it.
The studio itself if bright, clean, warm, and incredibly well equipped. A huge range of sets, props and equipment in a well organised and clutter free space. Parking was plentiful, hot and cold drinks were flowing and there was a mountain of biscuits. What more could anyone want.

"Yesterday I had another great studio day at Image Red. All pre comms with Simon were great and he made everything very easy to organise. On the day I was warmly welcomed by Simon and quickly offered a cuppa and plenty of biscuits (custard creams are the best!!).
Since my last visit a few months ago, Simon and the team have been busy once more and made vast improvements to many parts of the studio including the dressing room, studio and upstairs spaces. It's great to see a studio continuing to thrive and improve and is a real credit to all of the teams hard work and dedication!!
Throughout the day Simon was always on hand if needed, but also made sure to respect our privacy at all times. The studio is warm, has plenty of amenities and is well stocked for models and photographers.
It goes without saying that I would highly recommend Image Red and very much look forward to being back there later this year for our Helmut Newton Workshop!! Thanks as always Simon!!

"I spent two days for the first time in this fantastic studio, and I loved every moment. Simon is incredibly creative and supportive—he came to me with amazing ideas and helped bring them to life throughout the days. It’s always inspiring to meet a creative soul like him, someone who truly supports you.
Becky is the heart of the studio. She created such a warm and cozy space full of possibilities. The constantly changing set gives photographers endless opportunities to explore different concepts and ideas. There are so many props and cool outfits to choose from, and my favorite part is the rain room—so rare in studios, yet it allows you to create incredible shots.
They took great care of me throughout the days, making sure I felt comfortable and welcome, with snacks and drinks available. Simon also made amazing backstage videos that I absolutely loved.
Thank you so much for an incredible shoot! It was a true joy to be in your studio, and I can’t wait to come back again in the future.🥳

"Another day at ImageRed Studio and another fantastic modelling day. We had multiple photographers attending, and the day was fully booked, everything ran so smoothly. Simon greeted every photographer with a warm welcome and offered drinks on arrival.
When I arrived, the studio was already nice and warm (always appreciated!) and everything had been clearly communicated beforehand, which made the day feel relaxed and well organised. Throughout the day, Simon checked in with me to make sure I was okay and kept great communication going between myself and the photographers.
I genuinely love coming to this studio — there’s always such a friendly, welcoming group of people. We already have another date booked for me to return, and as always, I’m really looking forward to it.
The studio offers a great variety of sets, and they’re constantly refreshing and introducing new ones, which keeps things exciting and full of creative options (some I’ve yet to explore!). The kit available is more than adequate, and Simon is always on hand to support photographers and/or models whenever needed. Highly recommend — can’t wait to be back!

"I have shot at Image Red studio more times that I can remember now. In the last few months Image Red has been under new management. Under this new management the studio has undergone a lot of changes, changes for the better in fact. What was a very good studio has become an even better studio, there are new lights, new sets, in fact there is something there to appeal to most photographers.
Simon, John and Becky the new studio owners are always very helpful, friendly and accommodating. I look forward to many more shoots there, in fact I already have four pre booked. A highly reccomended studio"

"This was my first visit to Image Red and I certainly hope it wont be the last!!! Simon organised for me to come and run a studio day and all pre comms with him were great. He ensured that I knew which photographers would be attending and when, as well as being super helpful in advertising and promoting the event.
On the day, I was greeted by Simon and shown around the studio. He made me a cuppa and I quickly settled in to working with the first photographer.
The studio itself is clean and warm. There are SO many sets available to work with, everything from boudoir sets, to Christmas sets ... A large infinity cove and even a rain set!! The dressing room is tidy and well stocked with everything you could want as a model.
Throughout the day, Simon was on hand to help photographers as required with lighting and moving props around. He ensured smooth running of the day and all the photographers came away really happy!!
I would of course highly reccomend Image Red Studios and very much look forward to returning there soon!! Thank you so much for having me!!"
