Went to the Splash dress workshop, absolutely brilliant day. Photographing the flying paint was very interesting, kind of a form follows execution thing. Although special mention should go to our fantastic model/dancer Nico who apart from performing brilliantly also had to do throw the paint around. The Photoshop demonstration after the camera's had been put away was amazing to watch, and I feel fairly confidant that by May or possibly June I will be able to copy what had been shown to us, in an hour or two. Although to be fair I have only just downloaded my copy of Photoshop. All in all a very interesting and inspiring day.

What a lovely warm welcome to PGD Studios I received after a long drive from London to Leicester!

Gary is top of his game when it comes to making you feel at home a nice warm cuppa and tour of the studio and then time to create some magic!

This is one studio that has endless shooting possibilities and zones.

If you are thinking of where to host a group shoot you would not be disappointed you would leave with some truly cracking images!

Nothing was too much trouble and from the group shoot I did I could everyone felt the love too.

Thank you so much for a fantastic day and for making me feel so welcome looking forward to bring Retro Rob back to PGD soon!

I attended this studio as part of a groups shoot with cosplayers and friends. Gary was so welcoming and joined in with the fun. The space is super versatile with many options and a great range of lighting equipment. We had a total of 6 shooting spaces and you never felt like you were encroaching on other people's space.

Really enjoyed working with Gary. He was very friendly and professional and was such a great host. He was very hospitable offering hot drinks and breaks between the shoots. Although I brought most of my outfits, Gary had plenty available at his studio for me to use. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment at his studio and would highly recommend working with him.

So, I think I’m just going to move in and live here!

I adore working with the team at PGD - a well supplied, safe and welcoming studio. I’ve done a few events here now and every time, I have a great time and leave feeling creatively refreshed and happy.

The lighting they have available is top notch, flattering and they know exactly how to lay things out to help you achieve the best shots. There is an ample changing space and everyone that attends the events is respectful and lovely.

I’m very much looking forward to my next session there and would high recommend to models and photographers alike!

Great studio lots of lights, backgrounds, gadgets, great house models, and you couldn't get any better hosts Chloe and Garry, when creativity is the game this pair is on their A game.

Plenty of events, workshops both live and remote so popular extra sessions have to be arrange to cope with the demand.

Had a really great shoot at PGD Studios with Ayla. Gary was really welcoming and friendly and was always on hand to move and adjust the lighting as needed and very willing to offer advice about camera setting and anything else. The studio has a wide array of lighting gear and booms and so on as well as props and even unusual features such as posing boxes etc and a comfortable sitting area and facilities.

Gary is really enthusiastic about all the extra features he is adding which will make the studio quite extraordinary, as well as full-time make-up artists, and the regular courses and social sessions they run. It will be quite a hub of photography and associated activity.

Highly recommended and well worth a visit.

I wanted a studio to work with Ayla and PGD was top of my list.

It has a huge amount of different lights, props and a new large changing area for the models.

Garry is friendly very knowledgeable and helpful in setting up the lights ect. Nothing is to much trouble.

This was my first time using the new studio ( having used the previous one quite a lot) and when it's finished Will be a fantastic place to shoot.-it already is but with the plan's in place it will be first rate.

Highly recommended by me

Had my first shoot at PGD for a group event recently and absolutely loved it. I was well looked after and had a really fun time, experimenting with different looks and set ups and then quick fire posing for the group later on.

The lighting that they use there is flawless, some of the best I've experienced when it comes to refresh rate actually, which is fab for me as I love posing quickly.

I hope to be back here in the future, thanks team!

Really enjoyed working with Gary today. We had a studio shoot and it was well equipped. He was very professional and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable within the shoot. He was very good with communication skills, polite, and friendly. He was ready with all the equipment ready to go, and professional within his work. He directed me very well throughout the shoot, and gave me lots of ideas to help me throughout later shoots too. The pictures are fantastic and up to a very high standard! I hope to work with him again and I would highly recommend him to anyone — new models or experienced models, please go with Gary he is great😊! I cannot wait to see the results that we did. As I am still quite a fairly new model, he has helped me gain more confidence and was very helpful towards me throughout the shoot and before the shoot.

Thanks again Gary, you did an amazing job😁!

Had a shoot with Gary today, he was amazing and very professional; I feel like I had learned an incredible amount and could not be more grateful. I learned some amazing tips and tricks and truly felt like a professional model!!! I really hope we can work together again soon :)

I have worked with the awesome team at PGD multiple times now as a model for their remote underwater shoots with Tankspace. They are amazing at making sure everything runs smoothly, you feel well looked after and the days are always great fun. I'm always looking forward to the next!

I was lucky enough to attend a taster session with PGD at the weekend remotely, everyone was so friendly and welcoming and as you can see amazing images were managed under water! Very happy and would recommend joining in on future events! Thank you! Charlene x

I initially booked a single remote session with Scarlet and PGD Studio, the setup is one of the best I've seen and highly recommend it. Control over the lighting is something I love, and immediately after finishing my first session I booked another later in the day. Scarlet brilliant model as well, thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do more.

Gary attended an Introduction to Remote Shooting and was a joy to have on the course. He was polite and professional as well as attentive and offering advice to the other participants.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him :)

I've utilized PGD Studios a few times already, since I just recently joined the community I wanted to leave a reference. Garry and Allen are great to work with, they have top notch gear, great inhouse models, and are super flexible with your time schedule. They offer a lot of creative events that are great to add to your portfolio. I appreciate the effort they put into the studio and shoots they conduct.

I use their studio remotely from the United States. They offer full control of their equipment. Remote controlled gimble (move the camera around robotically) remote control of all their lighting (change the strength or turn them on and off), and full control over the camera settings. So far each time I've used their studio it has been very fluid and I've been able to capture exactly what I was after.

I've shot a few times at PGD now and every time it's an absolute pleasure. Garry is a delight, very friendly, and very helpful. I always feel very safe when shooting there. The studio itself is well-equipped to do almost anything you could dream of. The group shoots I've been involved in are outstanding; from mirror reflections, to dry ice fog - there's such a variety of what's possible!

I very much enjoy shooting here, and I definitely recommend the studio to anyone else, whether a photographer or a model!
