Retro Rob

If I could live next door to this studio I truly would!

It was that time again! time to take the Retro Rob Tour out onto the road and to the home of Lighting Fareham Studios with the help of my best friend Andy (Fareham Studios) on board and Nick (Canonphoto) the show started!

I have been working on a character I have wanted to add to my Tour for sometime and now was the time to give it life!

Andy is not only a lovely fella and 100% but someone who puts in above and beyond to give not only the photographer the best experience but also the model to ensure that everyone leaves with not only a smile on their face but a piece of work to be proud of.

What we produced has truly blown me away I can't wait to add our work to my portfolio.

If you haven't checked out Fareham Studios yet you are truly missing not only the experience but a piece of art!

Andy thank you so much I am still buzzing from the shoot and I look forward to expanding on this character and adding new ones to my future tours .

First time at Fareham Studio today with my partner Gav (Priority.images on Purpleport) to do a photography shoot with model Retro Rob.

Andy was very welcoming and helped me with setting up lighting and backdrop with also accommodating my health needs too.

Looking forward to going back to the studio, highly recommended.

I had a fantastic time at Fareham Studio for my studio weekend, what an amazing space!

The studio is extremely well equipped, with a variety of different sets which have been beautifully styled to ensure for a range of different images.

Andy was on hand to assist and answer any questions at all times, making sure everyone went home with the best images possible!

Highly recommend this space for all creatives if you want a friendly, creative space to explore ideas!

I'm sure that Fareham Studio doesn't really need yet another positive reference from me, but I'll do it anyway.

This time was for Pippa's studio day, where we shot three different (and bonkers) sets in two hours. As ever, Andy was on hand to provide help and suggestions, making this a true three-way collaboration. Add to that endless cups of tea and a rocking 70s soundtrack that suited the mood exactly - what more can you ask?

Absolutely and thoroughly recommended!

Had another excellent shoot at the very versatile Fareham Studio. Fully fitted studio with various sets and lighting to work with, as always the helpful and friendly Andy on hand.

Thanks Andy for the coffee and assistance.

My second visit to this fantastic studio, and my first since the space has been reorganised. The excellent sets are still a hugely important feature of the space and the new ground floor shooting area is a great counterpart with many new options I hope to explore in the future.

Andy was on hand throughout and an invaluable support for lighting set ups that take time to get right. Someone who knows the kit and facilities really helps to make a shoot as productive as possible.

I look forward to many future visits to the great studio.

Had a great shoot at Fareham studio recently with Frankinsella. The studio has multiple areas which give a different aesthetic, my favourite was the nautical/pirate theme area. There is basic rigging ability in the studio for apparatuses such as single point aerial hoop etc. The studio is warm and Andy (the owner) makes lovely cups of coffee/tea too! I recommend this studio to any photographer or model that wants a comfortable experience which lots of creative options!

Had a lovely experience at Fareham Studio! The sets were well thought out and lots of fun to pose with - they each had a different personalised look and feeling to them, and helped create a number of different atmospheres in the studio space for different photo sets.

Andy was very kind and helpful, a wizard with lighting! I'd love to come back to this wonderful studio! Highly recommend

Had my first shoot today at Fareham studio and would highly recommend. Andy was amazing and so helpful. I was running a little late and Andy welcomed me with a cup of coffee before he showed me around. The studio has everything you could want and at a great price. I am very much looking forward to my next shoot there.

Thank you for all your help.

Attended an Erotica wokshop run by Rogue and assisted by Rin. The day was well run and organised.

Rin sorted the lighting and made sure attendees were looked after with with drinks and biscuits provided. Hard to say more than I have in previous references but Fareham studio has become one of my most regular haunts for good reason with the facilities and assistance on hand :)

Yet another shoot at my second home, Fareham Studio, this time for some Burlesque with Cordelia Nightshade.

What can I say that hasn't been said before, either by myself or others? If you want a friendly, well equipped studio, look no further!

I had my second shoot at amazing Fareham studio. Honestly it's one of my favourite studio. There is so many options of location where you can shoot, so many choices of backgrounds and very good equipment. Andy is absolutely brilliant host, friendly, communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

My third shoot at Fareham Studios and I really struggle to fault them. A request for last minute availability was answered promptly, the time booked with no issues and, it surely goes without saying, the actual shoot was as easy as pie. Rin worked her magic with lights and backgrounds and the results were just spot on. There are studios nearer to me, but it’s worth driving a bit further to take advantage of the friendly service and expertise.

Thanks, again. See you soon.

What a fab first shoot at Fareham Studio! It was super easy to organise the slots with 2 different photographers and Andy was super welcoming and made me feel instantly comfortable on the day.

The studio is amazingly equipped and gave so many different options with lighting, backdrops and props, which produced outstanding images. I definitely will be returning soon and recommending Fareham studio to any future photographers I shoot with!

Thank you again to Andy😊

Well I guess three shoots in ten days at Fareham Studio says it all really. I have been going there for over four years and just love the place.

There is always a warm welcome from Andy Gaden and/or Sinopa Rin who run it together. Copious ammounts of tea, coffee or soft drinks are on offer. There is such a fabulous variety of equipment, backdrops and props on offer too. Since its recent expansion there are now numerious areas to shoot in with either flash or natural daylight. There are themed areas too that are changed periodically.

Andy or Rin are on hand to help arrange and suggest on lighting and sets so you always come away with a great set of well lit images as their knowledge on all things lighting and modelling is so good.

Beacause it is reletively local to me I have shelved all ideas of setting up a home studio as it is such a great well equipt studio. If you haven't shot there before or not in the last couple of years then I suggest you give Fareham Studio a go. You won't be dissappointed.

I've shot at Fareham studio too many times to count now! Most recently it was for an erotic styled group shoot with a lovely bunch of regulars.

The studio owners are both so lovely, friendly and helpful. It's a lovely environment to work in and I always feel looked after and safe.

I already have another sold out event next month and other shoots here in the pipeline.

If you want a studio with multiple sets, amazing props and equipment, lovely owners who will help as much or as little as you need and a whole catalog of incredible models available then you should definitely check out Fareham studio and their events!

Second shoot with Andy at Fareham Studio, and absolutely loved what we created on the spot with a suitcase of random outfits!

Yet again, some amazing shots were achieved and a proper laugh along the way.

Andy is a perfectionist and it absolutely pays off, he's brilliant to work with and the creativity always flows. Will be back soon!

Finally got back to Fareham Studio, haven't been since week before lockdown. I was photographing Belle Eve on a visit from Scotland. Sinopa Rin was in attendance, with help and advice.

It's a great studio, well-equipped with gear, modifiers, sets and props.

Rn was really helpful, setting up and tweaking lighting, and giving suggestions. I've photographed Rin several times as a model, and she is equally professional both sides of the camera.

I would highly recommend this studio, especially if you are looking for something beyond the white box. There are some fantastic natural light sets on the upper floor, an inspiration for me to return for more shoots.

Wow! - Haven't shot at Fareham for a little while mainly due to Covid etc. But totally missed it has had a bit of a refurb. I loved it before and love it even more now. Great studio, loads of options. To be honest didn't know it had a refurb, so had a few ideas before I arrived, thought I could fill a 3 hour slot, now wished I had booked a full day, genuinely could of stayed there all day with the options of natural light and flash, great backgrounds, great sets, great props.

The natural light in a studio is quite rare, honestly you could book the studio and not even use a flash. Flash is normally my safe area when it comes to photography, but I only used flash for 25% of the shoot. Says it all really. Thanks Fareham Studio, great place to shoot, Highly Recommended.

Had a fabulous first shoot at the studio with Heather, plenty of lighting and props to use, as well as fabulous area with plenty of natural light and space to use too.

Love this studio and will definitely be back, many thanks to Andy for looking after us too
