Main shoot is one of the best I’ve worked in for a while now. Plenty of space, lots of back drops and props to use and of course it’s warm which is a huge thing for me. Ian was very polite offering us hot drinks and helping with the lighting I would highly recommend to any photographer or model. I hope to work here again thanks for the great hospitality x

Mainshoot is by far one of the best studios I had the joy shooting at today. The studio offers great amount of space, beautiful backdrops and a fantastic range of props. Whether you're wanting the simple, commercial look or you want to get creative, this studio can accomodate anyone! The studio is easy to find and offers plenty of parking.

Highly recommend

WOW.

I was at Mainshoot Studio last night for a Halloween Themed night. What an absolute star Ian is. First of all you have to understand that you get so much more when you have a shoot at Ian’s studio. Like a lot of photographers I have been doing this for quite a long time but I still don’t know what a heck of a lot of the functions, buttons on my camera are for or do. You learn so much from Ian & he does not talk down to you just explains & shows you the effect of what ‘that’ does. So I can now sync to flash at speeds other than 1/125th & know when I would want / need to.

On top of that Ian definitely went the extra mile last night. The fake blood was out so to say his studio was trashed is an understatement. We got some excellent images but boy did we make a mess. Thank you to Ian & our model for the evening Ell Mae.

Highly Recommend.

My first time working at Mshoot studio in Brighouse. Its easy to find the studio, just a couple of miles off the M62. There is plenty of free parking immediately outside the studio, which is on the first floor of a large building on an industrisal estate. The studio space is a large room with good height. There are plenty of clothes and props which can be utilised. Ian is friendly and welcoming as well as very helpful with lighting and sets. I will definitely return to the studio in coming months, it was a pleasure to work there. Thanks again Ian. :)

I had another studio day at MainShoot recently, got to shoot some really cool concepts this time including creating some images with a fairy outfit and some images where I have 3 heads!

I had a blast, Ian was helpful as usual and everyone I shot with was great.

Definitely recommended :)

I had my first studio day at MainShoot this year, after having shot with Ian once before. We got a good amount of interest and I shot a variety of concepts with each tog, with a variety of backgrounds and props.

The studio is well equipped with outfits and various bits and pieces to use, Ian is very helpful with lighting etc and I will definitely be back.

Another visit to this amazing studio! Ian is one of the nicest and friendliest creatives I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with and over the years I have been lucky to shoot with Ian on a number of occasions. I had a studio day at his studio and he was super helpful and attentive, made sure I had everything I needed as always and even took me home due to train strikes at the end of the day of which I’m super grateful 🥹

I would absolutely recommend visiting this studio, it’s highly equipped with plenty of lights, backdrops and props and of course Ian makes the best coffee!

Best wishes

This was my first shoot at MainShoot, at a beads and pearls shoot with AMKmodel, this a great little studio with a nice range of props, and Ian is friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Hopefully will get to shot here again before too long.

I shot at Main Shoot yesterday for the first time. The studio is fabulous with a selection of backdrops and so many props. Ian's enthusiasm for photography really shows. I am not very experienced with the lighting set ups and Ian helped me with all of this along with some ideas. How could I not have come away with some great images with Ian's assistance, a great studio and a fantastic model in Kelsey Wolfe. I will definitely return soon!

I shot for the first time here with Kelsey Wolfe and this is a studio I would defiantly love to return to. We shot mainly bodyscapes and Ian was great at setting up the perfect lighting for the shots I wanted. We used some props too for a floral look. Ian's a very friendly guy and makes it a great place to work in. Thank you Ian.

I had my 1st shoot with Layla Rey 28 July.

An exceptionally well equipped studio with just about every prop you could ever want, including multiple chairs, stools and buffets.

Great corner area set for gentleman's club/boudoir shots.

The studio has multiple back drops to shoot against and some fabulous big windows for those natural light shots.

Its set in a small indistial unit next to woodland, so also offers some great out door location shots as well.

The owner ian (MShoots) is also very helpful, giving a hand moving equipment around and offering suggestions for lighting positions.

100% recommended.

Cheers Ian

Had a group shoot with Ian at MainShoot Studio. Very interesting and learned a lot. Got some amazing shots. Fantastic model we used. Rebecca-Sophie. Will definitely be going to more workshops. Meet some other photographers too.

Thanks

MainShoot Photography Studio and thanks Ian.

Had my first ever studio shoot yesterday. Thankfully, owner Ian (MShoot Photo) was on hand and was very helpful. He introduced me to all the different types of light and lighting techniques. It is totally different from shooting either outdoor or with "normal" artificial lighting systems.

He helped the shoot with fantastic model montehistrio really go with a joyful swing.

The range of accoutrements, including backgrounds along with clothes and props for the models, is truly mindblowing. I'll recommend this studio to anybody who needs one in this region.

I had my first shoot in this studio today and I enjoyed it a lot! Plenty of equipment, modifiers, outfits and props :) It’s a big, clean and tidy space, highly recommended! Great natural light too coming through the big window.

I organised a shoot with Ian and some tuition, the studio is a great size with ample equipment to set up and shoot. Ian supported me with lighting tips and information and keeps the studio in lovely order. I certainly will be back soon

Had a studio day this month at Ian’s studio! Ian puts on great events and this was just as good! Ian goes out of his way to really help and assist any photographer at his events that may need it. He will put in the effort to help them produce the best images possible! I had so much fun at this recent day,we tried out UV lighting and paints and the photos came out fantastic! Ian really is super talented!

Attended a studio lighting tutorial and shoot

Was great to get a different perspective and learn some new techniques

Very happy, just have to remember it all now, lol.

Worked with Ian on an morning outdoor shoot and a pm studio shoot and both sessions were superb as well as enjoyable. Ian is always calm as well as friendly and it was a pleasure to gain an insight into his thinking and benefit from from his advice about camera settings and lighting situations. The studio is clean, bright, modern and also benefits a natural light which offers plenty of opportunities without using the comprehensive collection of studio lighting. I had a clear idea of what I wanted to shoot and Ian kindly fixed the lighting for some superb results. He also shared some of his recent acquisitions and I would recommend trying out the 'gobals"as they make for some fun and whacky images at the time of shooting rather than post-editing. Throughout the shoot I could rely on Ian to assist and offer suggestions to achieve my goals but I came away feeling that I had learnt a great deal and that reflects Ian's patient ability to share his depth of knowledge. I have another shoot booked in and can't wait to get started and find out more! Totally recommend Ian as a photographer, studio manager and his new studio.

I had a fabulous time shooting at Ian’s new studio yesterday and what a fabulous place to work from! Warm, nice coffee and plenty of room to swing a cat or two…. More than enough space for shooting including high ceilings which gives you ample opportunity to shoot toplit should you wish to. I’ve always enjoyed working with Ian personally too as he’s a super friendly and creative photographer who is amazing with lighting and post production. So I would highly recommend working with him as well as hiring out his studio too! Ian is very helpful and is always in hand during your booking there and more than happy to spend time helping you to get that dieted look from your set!

If you haven’t yet booked in. So so, you won’t be disappointed.

Thankyou very much Ian and best wishes

I've worked with Ian a few times and attended his well organised events. Knowing his knowledge and endless stream of enthusiasm I just knew booking his studio would be good.

Its kitted out for himself to use to his high standards so it has a lot to offer most Photographers. I will not hesitate to use it again.
