My second visit to this awesome studio! The first time was a few years ago before the rain studio was fully operational, and so I was really keen to give that a go. I actually intended to go a while back, but one incident after another kept scuppering our plans dagnabbit! But Halo and the studio were very understanding and did all they could to accommodate us.

Throughout the day, Halo looked after us all so well - guiding the models where needed, advising those of us not getting wet of the best settings for our cameras to achieve the best results. Although we fully intended to shoot with Halo on the day anyway, we leant on her more than was expected as we had a cancellation from one of the models on the day - again, she couldn't do enough for us!

Will I be going again - absolutely! If you've not been, it really is worth a visit. If it's outside your budget, find some friends to go with - honestly, it's money well spent!

Had my first studio day at TankSpace today. Elle was an incredible host. For a lot of the cosplayers that attended, it was their first time shooting in an underwater environment. They were incredibly patient and extremely helpful with getting them used to it. Also, their knowledge both as a photographer and a model came in extremely handy throughout the day.

The rain room was incredibly spacious and well setup to accommodate plenty of different scenarios. The tank was good. My only critique was it was a little small and mostly suited towards landscape orientation whereas I mostly shoot portrait.

I will definitely be returning to TankSpace in the future!

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Attended the Tankspace for an event organised by Erica, a duo set with Halo. What a day, these ladies worked tirelessly to achieve some excellent results. I have shot with Erica lots of times now, but only met Halo today. The staff at Tankspace also went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable in the surroundings and advising on camera settings and explaining how the lighting works in the tank environment. Thanks everyone for a lovely shoot, I am now ‘hooked’. Best wishes Jann

I had my first visit yesterday for a short tank shoot with Erica Mulkern and Halo.

The staff impressed me with their knowledge and customer focus. Halo impressed me with her modelling, attention to detail whilst in the water.

It’s not cheap but it’s a great experience and I would happily return for another shoot. If you’ve not been I would recommend it. If you have been I don’t need to recommend it as you already know how good it is.

I was at the TankSpace for a shoot organised by Erica with her and Halo as models. It was a great experience, something different! We were not there to use the rain facility but just the tank.

Everyone was helpful and friendly and our small group shoot went very well and I came away with some interesting shots. I would definitely recommend this space if you want to photograph something that is a little different.

Booked a 2 hour on the rain shower with Nico Dee, we were hosted by Elle, whom recommended some lights for flash and continous, Nico picked her outfits from the extensive wardrobe, Nico did her thing jumping around in the rain, everything worked tons of images.

Elle supplied great cuppa .

Splendid few hours flew - thanks to Elle for hosting and Nico for performing.

Can't recommend Tank Space enough 🙂

What an experience .. today was my first time at TankSpace and WOW ..! I was slightly nervous in advance of the shoot having never done anything like this before. I shouldn’t have worried. Elle could not have been any more welcoming, friendly, professional and helpful with technical advice .. camera settings, lighting etc. ‘House’ model Halo was fantastic. Great costuming, great shapes and great effort, along with Erica Mulkern who organised the day. Can’t wait to get back there soon.

We ran a shoot event at Tank Space yesterday for a group of first timer's looking to try something different. Tank Space and Halo in particular were fantastic. The venue and range of accessories is brilliant. Halo ran herself ragged all day helping and coaching newcomers so they all had a brilliant time and got some good photos out of it. The best measure of the success was that many of them are already asking for us to do another event, so Tank Space have a new audience!

Last month I visited Tankspace for another group shoot with a group of models who I shoot regularly with along with a couple of new faces. This time we were shooting for half a day and the experience was fantastic as with the previous times I have shot here. Halo was on hand the whole time to help with setting lights up and providing technical expertise and myself and the other photographers in attendance were able to produce some amazing images of each of the models in attendance. I enjoyed shooting her again and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for another great experience!

I had my third shoot at Tank Space last Tuesday with two stunning models and what an amazing shoot it was. Halo was so helpful in suggesting and arranging for the two models to shoot with me and what an inspired choice it was. Thank you so much Halo. Elle was managing the shoot on Tuesday and she was excellent providing such helpful advice and suggestions and many lovely cups of coffee!! Elle is a lovely person and we had time to share photographic experiences.

Thank you so much Elle and Halo.

I would love to come back again.

Best wishes

I had the absolute pleasure of attending my first ever event at this amazing studio and it certainly won’t be my last. The event was organised by the lovely Ivory Flame and Artemis Fauna. The event itself was so very well organised and coordinated with great pre comms and lots of helpful expert information given prior to the event to reduce nerves and maximise everyone’s experience.

On the day from the minute, you walk in the door your made to feel welcomed and offered a brew with a cheerful smile. The venue itself is amazing and such a well set up and ran creative space where you can let your imagination run wild and the staff will do their best to make your visions a reality. Halo and Elle were always on hand offering support and advice if needed and taking onboard any suggestions or requests made by the group.

If you are lucky enough to get the chance to attend this fantastic studio, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended.

Thanks for your hard work and patience and a great creative session, Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)

Last week I attended my first Tankspace workshop - and wow it was a fantastic, full on, fun couple of hours of pure, crazy creation!

It was their ‘Cyberpunk’ themed event, the inaugural one supposedly, and boy I hope they put it on again. So much energy and excitement in the studio. The models were terrific and throw themselves into roles and poses the made the theme come alive.

There was plenty of support on hand and the whole atmosphere was very encouraging with sharing of ideas.

Thank you to Halo and everyone who made me so welcome. Can’t wait to see the results of the photoshoot and what other workshop days Tankspace has planned!

I organised a shoot at TankSpace's indoor rain studio with their wonderful in-house photographer Halo.

The communications beforehand were excellent with a lot of understanding and support for what is, unsurprisingly, a 'nervous first time' for anyone who isn't a specialist underwater model or photographer (they have access to both if you want to hire either).

You will get encouragement and help all the way through, especially during the shoot where they can get the most out of the water environment for you. Check them out, and get something special to add to your portfolio.

I had such an amazing shoot at Tank Space on Sunday with the beautiful Ivory Flame and Cariad Celis. The owner, Halo is such a lovely person, very welcoming and put me at ease as soon as I arrived. Halo's pre-comms were excellent. She was very helpful throughout the shoot and her input was so important to the success of the shoot. Not only is Halo such a great person, she is also great to chat to and happy to share her knowledge and experience. Tank Space is a wonderful venue and it is so exciting to shoot there and is very highly recommended. Thank you so much Halo for making the shoot such a great experience. I would love to return again before too long.

I have had the pleasure of working at TankSpace a few times now and I’m ashamed that this is the first reference I’ve given them!

What a fantastic experience that I never want to step out of! I would happily become a full time underwater model if possible!

The team are wonderful people who prioritise models comfort and make them feel safe. No question is a silly question and it’s not a problem if you don’t get the technique the first time or the tenth time while in the tank, they’re patient and will take you through the steps.

TankSpace has an over flowing collection of props, jewellery and outfits of all styles which are massively size inclusive!

Their lighting set ups are fantastic and can be changed to fit all sorts of themes and vibes. They’re massively helpful towards the photographers in sharing the best settings on your camera to get the most out of the tank and rain room.

Whether you’re a photographer or a model, you will have a fantastic time, you’ll be very looked after and you will not want to leave!

I seriously cannot recommend TankSpace enough!

I had a wonderful time modelling on the Tank Space Renaissance Group shoot last week. Halo, Ell, Robin and Janey were nothing but wonderful on the day. Everything was taken care of- all we needed to do was choose our outfits and have fun! I felt very well looked after and everyone that attended seemed delighted by their images. The day ran very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for the staff at Tank Space. They certainly know what they are doing and I just hope to be back very soon :)

I had the most amazing time modelling for the renaissance themed event organised by the amazing team of humans at the Tank-Space!

Events are always hard work for everyone but Halo, Ell, Robin and guest tutor Jayne where always happy to help with a smile and positive energy :)

The event was very well organised and ran smoothly! The styling provided was beautiful and with endless options of accessories and dresses to play with !

The sets they created were stunning and the lighting was beautiful.. it felt like being on a dreamy theatre productions! Also modelling underwater was so much fun !

It was also nice to see a lot of familiar faces attending the event as well got to meet lots of new talented photographers and models!

I very highly recommend booking your time at this magical space and hope to model again from the Tank-Space soon !

Thank you for everything,

Tankspace is a magical place focusing on the wet element :) From controlling the weather to give people without scuba-gear and waterhousings the ability to take breathtaking underwater photos. I have shot remotely there several times, but this last time was hosted by tankspace. Great models, smooth operation and easy to follow guidance. I am sure I`ll attend more remotes, but on my photographic "bucket"-list is also to visit the place in person.

Have shot here twice, The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, This place is well worth the experience and I highly recommend it.

Having had a very successful shoot here once before with the rain machine, it was time to revisit and try the tank. I will confess to some trepidation as I was taking two models, though experienced, had never shot underwater before.

And then....we met Halo, the studio manager.

In no time at all, Halo had both girls totally at ease in the tank and posing like pros!

I really cannot thank you enough Halo, for all your help and advice throughout the entire shoot, not just to the models, but me as well!

So for a unique experience and staff who will go above and beyond to make your visit a success, I can highly recommend this brilliant studio!
