Had a lovely remote session at Fareham Studio with Sinopa Rin recently, and was impressed by the soft natural light the upstairs sets had, and the variety of proppery :) available. I took advantage of the stairs and the downstairs, too.

It's a nice cozy studio, with some prebuilt sets (I didn't do much customizing, but there is an extensive collection of bits and bobs I could have used as well.)

It was good to photograph at Fareham Studio after a bit of a break. This was for a small group session with people unfamiliar with studio work. All the equipement was available and in good working order so there was no time wasted sorting things out.

Andy was helpful and supportive as ever, lending assistnce to set up a complicated Film Noir rig. He even showed us the delights of the new Photoshop AI capacity.

I thoroughly recommend Fareham Studio.

Wow - what an amazing evening, courtesy of the very talented studio owner, Andy Gaden who did such a fantastic job with the lights and hospitality

I arranged with Andy, a group shoot with 6 other photographers and the lovely Mia UK, and what a wonderful evening it was - all photographers and the model had a brilliant and fruitful evening.

Andy arranged 3 sets - fashion, portrait and art nude. Each of 7 photographers had approx 10 minutes each set.

The lighting by Andy was absolutely first class as always, and Andy’s organisation and prep work was far and beyond my expectations.

A perfect and very successful evening with 7 very happy photographers and hundreds of beautiful images produced.

Thank you so much Andy - the perfect host and lighting man! We are all truly grateful

Waiting for 90 minutes in Fratton, three cancelled South Western Train replacement buses, arrived late and I was a mess in a taxi. Andy sorted me out, made me welcome, again, de-stressed me, and rolled out the backdrop I wanted, love it, great studio, Andy understands artists. I'll be back!

Had an amazing shoot at Fareham. Andy brought his Royal Enfield motorbike in and helped considerably with the lighting. I was fortunate to have 2 beautiful models, Zoe Arabella and Marisa Eva. Took some stunning pictures and had a very enjoyable morning.

Thank you Andy, stay well.

It has been a number of years since I last left a reference for this wonderful studio. As well as an amazing selection of equipment and props, there are a selection of sets too.

The friendly owners go out of their way to ensure that you are able to create the photos you want and are always available to offer any assistance that is required.

There are so many possibilities that you are only limited by your imagination. I total recommend this studio, it is actually what I require when booking a studio.

I had my first shoot at Fareham studios. He toured me round the different scenes of the building to shoot in front of, the variety is there which brings new ideas to mind, room by room. A lot of photography equipment is there, old and new. Andy was there to help anytime me or the photographer needed it, he was always there on hand ready. I felt completely comfortable with him, like I have known for years. And on top of that, he was so generous to accommodate me for the night after my studio time. I recommend other models and photographers to shoot here. Thank you Andy :)

Great studio with a many sets and nooks. Wonderful natural lighting upstairs: stobes on the main floor. Andy was a great help: making coffee, setting triggers and standing in as Rembrandt. The studio was recommended to me by Heather Rose as her favourite place to shoot. I understand why - highly recommended.

Shoot for the first time today at Fareham Studio, very good studio with lots of possibility. Good old studio with plenty of different background and set.

I will definitely go back shoot in this studio.

Highly recommend

Thank you to sinopa and Andy at Fareham studio for inviting me down for a sold out two day studio day in April.

Super accommodating team, with a very well equipped studio with beautiful set ups! I had a lovely time working there and will definitely return!

Recommended, thanks for having me :)

Fareham Studio is one of my "home" studios, but I want to add a reference for attending one of Rin's workshops - the colour wheel one - it went really well, I'd learned a thing or two, and has certainly made me think about other possibilites - particularly fortuitious at a time when I'm unsure as to how to develop my imagery.

I normally stay away from group shoots and workshops having experienced a few that basically descend into a maul of photographers all shooting together - none of that here, Rin managed everyone in their turn really well with gentility and grace.

100% recommended.

seriously awesome studio space run by seriously awesome folk!

a great place to get creative either with studio lighting or making use of the copious amounts of natural light too.

a humungous RECOMMENDATION from me!

cheers guys for making my second shoot at the studio just as much of an absolute joy as my first!

First time shooting at Fareham Studio today and it really is a superb studio! Andy was there to greet myself and Ken (Kindheart) when we arrived.

Fareham Studio is somewhere I’ve wanted to shoot at for a long time and it really didn’t disappoint.

So many spaces, Backdrops, Props and areas to shoot in, Great little changing area and the studio is so easy to find.

I will definitely be returning to shoot here in the future and highly recommend!

And Andy makes a mean cuppa! ;)

Thank you Jade

What a lovely studio and Andy is brilliant! I spent 2 days at Fareham Studios for shoots organised by Steve Farrell. The space is great - I stayed at the studio and it was very comfortable and had everything I needed. The dressing room is well kitted out with anything that models might need - from hairdryers to slippers to extensive wardrobe options!

Andy is so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for him and any photographer who comes to the studio is lucky to have someone so well versed in lighting set ups to help them out! Over the 2 days I learnt a lot about different lighting techniques myself and enjoyed seeing the different effects he could create. He also made sure we had a constant supply of tea and coffee and kept checking that I was happy and comfortable.

You can tell that he loves what he does and it’s nice to see that he is invested in the images that photographers take in his space. Thank you for being a wonderful host Andy, I hope I get to come back to the studio again :)
