Had a last minute shoot at Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday. The studio rooms and outdoor space is as spectacular as I hoped it would be. The challenge is choosing which space to use because there are just so many inspirational places to shoot.

Miss_C greeted me on arrival and after a welcome cup of coffee we had a quick tour to set out the order of the shoot. It was no trouble to move or adjust any of the set or the props and Mis_C was full of ideas and suggestions to get the most of what the property has to offer.

Period interiors with lots of natural light and acres of space give so many opportunities and a myriad of compositions.

They continue to invest, particularly in the exterior of the property which will only make it more difficult to choose from the options available.

I have been wanting to shoot here since they announce its opening earlier in the year, exceeding my expectations.

Highly recommend!!

Had my second shoot at this marvelous studio location. My first shoot was with resident model Miss-C, today I was shooting with Rebecca Tun. One of the best studios I have used for natural light. Was hoping to shoot some outdoor shots, but the weather wasn't playing ball. Look forward to shooting again at this fabulous studio.

Had my first shoot today at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio. What a studio, numerous rooms, stairways and corridors to explore. Also great for natural light, and two brilliant hosts Leanne and Simon. And I still have to find the delights of the outdoor side to the studio. A return to this wonderful place beckons in the future. No hesitation in recommending this fabulous location/studio.

Had my first visit to Basford Hurst to work with vampire Princess on her Model Day.

A beautiful Building & surrounding areas. On arrival I was greeted by Leanne who had a welcoming smile & makes a great Coffee.

I already had a plan in mind before my arrival & the areas I wished to shoot in did not disappoint. I have worked with Vampire Princess previously so we got along really well & she had a good understanding of my lighting techniques.

Beautiful building internally & externally & I look forward to a future visit.

I booked Basford Hurst Cottage Studio some weeks back for a shoot with @RoxyM.

Leanne and Simon are very friendly and welcoming and once we were familiar with the place they left us to it. The place itself is amazing, loads of different spaces, great windows, floors, furniture, stairs, two bedroom sets, so many nooks and crannies to choose. You could spend a whole day there and never run out of ideas for the sets. Thoroughly recommended.

Yesterday I joined a John Duder Natural Light Workshop at Basford.

Leanne and Simon are making a haven for creatives and having Leanne as a model is the icing on the cake.

It is a friendly space, run professionally, and is just at the start of its no-doubt long existence!

For myself, more an artist than photographer, it gives no end of scope and inspiration both inside and outside and the options for so many things which is rare.

I highly recommend you go and meet Leanne and experience this evolving place for yourself.

Both the place and the people come highly recommended........

Today I worked at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio for the first time as part of JD Tuiton Lighting workshop.

This new studio offers all levels of photographers a new and exciting environment in which to create great pictures.

Offering opportunities both inside and outside, with large windows the natural lighting in all rooms is exceptional.

The studio also has a number of architectural features that are great for enhancing you images, plus the have an excellent kettle and a ready supply of biscuits.

Outside a large wooded area offers great opportunities, the Studio is owned and staffed by a highly sociable couple who make you feel at home.

It may be a new addition to the photographic scene but I have a feeling it will be around for a long time.

Very Highly Recommended.

A couple of short visits to discuss possibilities for a workshop, and to make a few sample images, hadn't entirely prepared me for the experience of running a workshop at Basford Hurst Cottage: the vast number of possibilities meant that the workshop almost ran itself...

Five photographers fitted into the space easily, and were delighted, I think, at the ease with which one can find backgrounds around the house and garden.

There was a general feeling that it would be worthwhile to return and do more - which is perfect, from every point of view. I hope, too, that some of those present will feel that it'll be worthwhile to book the location and Leanne, the owner, for a one-to-one shoot.

Delightful place, delightful people.

The photos really speak for themselves frankly, but rest assured it is in fact even better than it looks!!

Incredible really, there's just so much! - Made good use of the majority of the downstairs, made for an excellent set of shoot environs.

Leanne is excellent also - impeccable pre-shoot Comms, every want catered for.

Entirely recommended, it goes without saying that I'm consulting my diary to book again - had hest try and beat me to it!

When a casting came up for a studio day at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio I could not resist the chance to visit what looked like a truly hidden gem. Pre visit comms were perfect and directions led us directly to the hidden oasis.

After a warm greeting by Leanne & Simon we were quickly offered welcomed refreshments after a long drive. The cottage studio is an amazing location to let your creative imagination loose making full use of the wonderful natural light that floods in throughout.

It was a very relaxed and enjoyable afternoon, and you couldn’t wish for better hosts or a better location. I will definitely be returning to watch how the studio develops as the outside locations. Thanks for your patience and i look forward to seeing you again very soon :)

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

I had a fabulous shoot with Jessica at my first visit to Basford Hurst Studio. Jessica was great to work with, I think we got on really well and had some amazing results from the shoot. Jessica's posing is 2nd to none and she is a really lovely lady to work with (and a great choice of clothing). Thank you to Basford Hurst for the communications regarding Jessica's studio day, and for hosting us. I will be back! Thanks very much Jessica & Leanne - Jann :-)

Precomms absolutely superb - Directions the pin had us within 50ft of this dream location hidden in a beautiful woodland surrounding. The house is a fabulous rich wealth of beautiful features - somewhere even as a studio owner I want to revisit again and again. Model days like the one with Jessica Wall so much events not to miss plus Leanne & Simon are superb hosts

I am sooooo glad I answered Simon's casting and got the opportunity to shoot here. There is sooooo much potential at this amazing house. There is a cute little changing area for the model. Basford Hurst is warm and spotlessly clean!

I can not wait to go back and see the outdoor grounds completed!

The studio owners are friendly, helpful and welcoming!

Absolutely Recommended To All!!!!xX
