Yet another thank you to Jeff Chaplin for making Jasmine and I welcome at his studio. Shifting a boom arm may never be the same again...

I had another great group shoot at Loft Studio. Karl and Jeff are very accommodating and run a very well equipped studio. Karl even makes an acceptable mug of coffee lol.

I can recommend this studio to anyone who is in the area.

My 1st shoot at The Loft was on the 20th of April and I was glad to be invited again for a day shoot. Organised by Carl and Jeff, The Loft (not the hosts, lol) offers a room for the model's privacy, some props, good space and lights, a bed, backdrops, coffee, tea, biscuits, and I might forget some things.... All that to say that the studio is a really good place for a session.

Ow, and I nearly forgot: Organisation is 10/10. Carl and Jeff sure know how to organise and run an event. Everyone is always well taken care of, feeling safe, we have everything we need, whether it is for a model or for photographers and in a very good atmosphere always.

Highly and warmly recommended

Just a short note of thanks to Lyra, Jeff, Carl, Austin & Jim for making Saturday's group shoot a cracking morning. Hope to see you all again soon. 🔜🤣🤗👍

I was invited to model for a group shoot here for the first time yesterday. I was incredibly well taken care of, I was hydrated, caffeinated, fed and was kept warm. The studio owners, Jeff and Carl are both sweethearts who made sure that I was okay and was having a good time throughout the day. The studio itself is well-stoked with a range of backdrops, lighting set ups (including some really unique lighting that I've never seen before), and props. The studio owners are happy to be of service, carrying in and out whatever props are desired, as well as providing expert advice regarding camera settings. Not to mention the atmosphere is incredibly lovely and relaxed. I would definitely urge you to shoot here.

I have left a reference for Loft Studio before and it is a great place to be and work in, but the day to day running admin and the hospitality when working there can often be taken for granted. I can hounestly say that every even I have attended is well planned and well run by the guy's that own Loft Studio just like the one to one shoot I had as part of a model day held at the studio. Thanks for all your hard work and keep up the good work guys you are both second to none!

I recently had another group shoot at Loft Studio, organised by Carl and Jeff

This was put together on a Sunday, which meant I couldn't get to Narborough station early enough so Jeff was kind enough to pick me up from Leicester Coach Station.

The day went well as usual, we did a 1920's themed group shoot and 1-2-1's after. Always a pleasure, recommended and hope to get another day in the diary soon :)

Just a small word of thanks to Jeff and Carl for the recent group shoot with Gia. Not my first time at Loft Studio, but I met Carl for the first time yesterday and found him every bit as helpful and enthusiastic as Jeff - they make an excellent pairing.... The day was well organised and filled with variety - something that you don't always get on group days. I'm usually a lone shooter - but if they intend to carry on like this, then I might become a convert. Thanks guys - hope to see you again soon.

I had a great first shoot with Gia At Loft Studio Enderby. It was great working in such a friendly studio with Gia, she came with a vast array of outfits and her poses just came so naturally. Highly recommended Gia and the studio.

Another great day at this lovely studio, can’t recommend it enough, it’s almost like being at home, great place and people.

I shot at this studio with 2 photographers. The studio was great to shoot in, spacious and good lighting. Jeff was very accommodating, made me plenty of tea and very friendly and welcoming :) highly recommend!

I had a great shoot with Jeff in the studio today. Offered a tea/coffee on arrival like usual. They have a spacious changing room for models with great lighting and a big mirror! I always have a great time at the studio and I can't wait to return. 100% reccomend!

It is 8 months since my last reference for the studio but actuallly my third shoot there this year so this reference is well overdue. Another groupshoot with Carl and Jeff providing the studio sets and lighting variations at which Elaine Clair provided the subject for the camera. I really enjoy these group sessions: Jeff and Carl are always welcoming and it is always good to chat and share knowledge with the other photographers who are non-competitive over time and ideas on the shoot. It actually feels like a club with an objective of maximising the group's enjoyment rather than an individual's personal return. I look forward to many more sessions.

This is my second visit to Loft studios, the first being for a 1-1 booking. The owners Carl & Jeff asked me if I fancied a studio day & of course I agreed. The day was fabulous from start to finish. We had two sessions (morning & afternoon) both groups were lovely. I was provided with refreshments and nothing was too much trouble. So much thought goes into model priority and this is such a reassuring thing. The photographers were all fun and we had many laughs and jokes whilst focusing on the sets. There were 5 set changes per group and it was all planned out with ease.

Refreshments were given throughout the day and I was also given a nice lunch on my break. Something no other studio Ive been to has done. Thank you to Carl & Jeff for running such a great ship and with fun and total professionalism. I can’t wait to come back again. I highly recommend this studio to any model or photographer. Thank you.

Having pondered for a while and watched progress from their Facebook group, I finally took the plunge and booked a set at Loft Studio. Communication was rapid and clear, which was just as well because I did the whole thing on a rather last-minute basis.

Jeff Chaplin is an excellent host and the opening chat and show around was handled very smoothly. The studio itself is great, sporting plenty of space, multiple backgrounds, lights and modifiers, together with a fine collection of chairs, ladders and props. In short, all I needed. Additionally, there is a dedicated changing room for models – something I always like to see.

Assistance was always on hand, but never felt intrusive and the abundance of tea and biscuits was much appreciated. In short, I felt genuinely welcome.

So, thank you to Jeff for having me, and to Jasmine for her excellent modelling. I look forward to seeing you another day.

Loft Studio is definitely becoming a homely place to me. Returning for the 7th time and 3rd group shoot, I was kindly invited over for a sold out full Saturday and half day on the following Sunday.

Group shoot at Loft studio always run so smoothly and there is always Jeff nearby to help any photographers and to check in doing okay. It’s always nice to see familiar faces too.

In the group shoot we started off with 2 fashion sets, 2 lingerie and finished of with an art nude set. Jeff was happy to listen to any lighting suggestions i had too and always made sure to keep me fuelled on coffee which is just a necessity in my life. We stopped for a quick lunch break and continued with the 1-2-1s.

I was very grateful to not only be hosted for a sold out Saturday but also to be hosted for half a day on the Sunday too. I have been using Loft studio since I started modelling and will always continue to do so. The space is great and the owners are lovely to not only work with but to be hosted by and know so well. I would be happy to recommend this studio to anyone.

Thank you guys for a lovely weekend and see you soon,

Jasmine

This was my first visit to Loft Studios, although I have met some of the other photographers elsewhere. It is a smallish studio being in an actual business building loft space but there is plenty of space to work and more than one area. I can see the studio has a lot of potential. I was there as part of a group shoot which was thoroughly enjoyable. There was no pressure on timing with the other photographers and that in turn was treated with respect and nobody tried to take any more than their share. This is a credit to the studio itself and the sort of clientelle thay attract. Carl wasn't there when I shot but Jeff was and had a helper Jay. Between them they made sure we were all comfortable and gave any help needed with the lighting etc. I forget the amount of times we were offered a drink!! Biscuits were also on offer. Everybody works together there and the atmosphere is lovely. I will certainly be going back and am doing so this coming weekend!! Top marks to all the guys and models who make it all happen!! I would recommend this studio to anyone!! Thanks guys!!

My 3rd time at this studio. They always have wonderful models for you to photograph. Great lighting and props. Jeff and Carl are always helpful and give advice if you need it.

The two of them are experienced photographers who will suggest ideas if you are stuck.

Very easy to find and the coffee isn’t bad either.

I will be back soon.

I've lost count how many times I've shot at The Loft Studio, and it never disappoints, this being no exception.

Always friendly, always good banter between all the other togs on a group shoot as well as Jeff and Carl who own and run the events. Once again the choice of model (Jasmine) was excellent and was great fun with lots of ideas that she knew worked for her.

Would highly recommend.
