I am still grinning from ear to ear after having the utter pleasure of working with Brian today! He is an absolutely amazing photographer with an equally amazing Studio. I felt so at ease and comfortable from the minute I stepped through the door. Brian is super easy to get along with, he is a genuinely lovely person…even shares the same taste in music!

I hope to work with Brian again very soon. I could not recommend him enough! Thank you so much for a fantastic day.

I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful event run by Brian and Freya today at the Spitfire hanger in Blackpool. As always communication before the event was first class with Brian, Freya and the other models creating amazing, imaginative scenes to capture. Brian is a such a fun, friendly and down to earth guy who is always on hand to help in any way he can. He takes the time to teach you how to improve your photography skills so that you can create the best images possible, whilst also giving you the space to explore your own creative ideas. If you haven't shot at the Vines Art House studio or attended one of Brian's events elsewhere, make sure that you do as I guarantee you have an amazing time :)

I attended an even at Hanger 42, Blackpool airport, hosted by Brian/Vines Art Studio and Freya.

It was a cracking day and my first event. I did ask Brian several questions throughout the day and he went out of his way to answer them and spend time with me even though he was very busy.

Well recommended.

I had a great Shoot today at Brians studio. Today's was with Retro Rob as the model. What with Brians great light set ups and new backdrop and Robs suit the colours were a great match.

Rob had a great collection of props for the shoot and Brians brilliant lighting setups made the images just brilliant.

I have attended many of Brians shoots over the last few month's and have never been disappointed with the images or the shoot experience.

Brian always explains the light set ups as he does them which is worth a lot.

Thank you for another buzzing shoot experience Brian.

What a truly awesome shoot I had arranged by the amazing Brian Sandham at Vine Art House.

It was long awaited and well worth the wait.

I had been following Brian's work for sometime so when Brian mentioned bringing the Retro Rob Tour to Preston I jumped at the chance.

Brian was a brilliant host not only to me but to all the photographers who attended he ensured that everyone left with that warm fuzzy feeling of a great day and some iconic images that I cant wait to add to my portfolio .

This is one studio I will be returning to .

Thank you for an amazing time Brian standby for Retro Rob part 2! .

I had my first shoot at Brian's studio last night; it was a small group and we covered lingerie, topless and art nude.

The studio is small (I would say cosy) but full of shoot oppurtunities in every corner, with an amazing range of backdrops, lighting and props.

All of the attendees at the shoot were great to work with, and created a brilliant atmosphere!

Brian was a pleasure to meet; very friendly and easy to get on with. He was also very laid-back and understanding of me turning up late (location mix-up!), though I was happy to make up the time.

I am already lined up for a second shoot at the studio and look forward to it!

Thank you very much Brian :)

I visited Vines Art House for the first time shooting with Aimee Whitton, the studio is a great creative space with plenty of props, Brian the owner is a great guy, he leaves you alone to shoot in peace but is always on hand if you need any assistance, he works hard to make sure you enjoy your shoot and create images you'll be proud of. I would definitely recommend shooting here and will look forward to returning here myself.

Brian booked me for a studio day which consisted of a mix of 1-2-1s and a lighting workshop. Brian is one of those photographers who really makes me love my job, hes someone who is eager to get the most creative shot and has so many ideas. As a creative my self with a keen eye for aesthetics this is something i really appriciated. Brian was a complete professional throughout the whole day and made me feel comfortable at all times, theres a separate room that i was able to change in too. There was plenty of offers for a cuppa too which is always a good sign.

Every set that brian had created it was very clear alot of thought and imagination had gone into it, and the images from that day that the photographers have produced are a credit to his directing of the day. We have already talked about another shoot and i simply cant wait.

Thankyou so much for having me,

Aimée

Had an awesome shoot at the Vines Art House during one of my recent modeling Tours. Stopping off to Lancaster on my way up to Scotland with the lovely. Exalted

The Studio host (Brian) was accommodating and friendly. And the Studio had everything you needed props, backdrops, a lovely dressing room. A beautiful window with loads of natural light for window shots. A crazy spikey wall too. So much effort was put into the decor and it had such a nice atmosphere.

I’d more than recommended this amazing Studio to other models and photographers and would love to shoot there again if I’m ever traveling that way.

I've shot with Brian a number of times, but this was my first event at Vines Art House.

As ever, Brian is such a joy to be around, wonderfully enthusiastic and super good at organising unique and well-run events, plus his studio space is beautifully set up and well equipped. I was very well looked after and the time honestly flew by - it was such an enjoyable shoot!

Brian was always on hand to assist the photographers who had booked on, and with his wealth of knowledge and experience, I know they were all in good hands.

I can't wait to return, hopefully not too far in the future! I'd 100% recommend Vines Art House for both models and photographers.

Thank you again!

I worked with Brian for the first time on Saturday for a workshop he ran for photographers. Not only is he very professional and welcoming, made me feel super comfortable... We got on really well, and enjoyed thoroughly his company, look forward working again sometime soon 😁 Absolutely no hesitations should be made if you get the chance working with this great guy! Thank you for a lovely day:)

Today was my first time modeling at a studio event at Brian's studio. I had previously worked with Brain at a separate event so was really looking forward to working with him again!

He is so lovely, bubbly, and a joy to work with! His pre communications were great and throughout the shoot, I felt comfortable, relaxed and I was so happy with the photos we and the other photographers at the event created!

I will definitely be coming back again!

Thank you Brian!

I modelled at an event on Sunday at Vines Art House and it was a joy to take part.

I have modelled on several events here in the past, they are always well organised and I am always treated very well and the events are a lot of fun.

Recommended to models as you are treated with a lot of respect and you are well looked after. Recommended to photographers, Brian's knowledge of lighting and his helpfulness to photographers of all levels of ability is fabulous.

I had the pleasure to work with Brian at his lovely studio on a group shoot workshop.

Brian is very easy to work with, organised, amazing photographer and the communication was excellent. I had a fantastic time, felt really welcomed and all photographers were absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed my time there and I hope we work again in the near future.

Best wishes,

I attended as a model to one of Brians workshops at his lovely studio.

Brian was very down to earth, friendly, professional and full of energy! Throughout he was very attentive and great at making his vision clear and how he would like to achieve this. He is a talented photographer and that very clearly flowed into the guidance he offered everyone who attended.

Everyone attended was very lovely and he has even asked me to return to one of his other workshops.

Looking forward to the next!

I was honoured to be able to work with Brian recently in his studio. I’ve admired his work for some time so this was one where I was a little on the nervous side, I didn’t need to worry as I was given a warm welcome and he’s a great guy to work with, professional and friendly with a fully equipped studio with all kinds of props and some amazing back drops. Thanks for working with me and looking forward to being a lighting workshop model this weekend. If you ever get the chance to work with Brian, you must absolutely do it :)

I worked with Brian in his studio during workshops last Wednesday. I felt comfortable throughout the entire shoot and had a lot of fun working with everyone. Brian is easy to work with, we had good communication, and he was very welcoming from the beginning. I definitely recommend Brian and cannot wait to work with him again :)
