I love the X Factory. I can't wait to shoot there again. The studio is massive and has so many areas to shoot from :) Will definitely be shooting here again.

Shelly was awesome and was very friendly and accommodating. They especially help me when my phone died and I got stranded. Already planning the next Shoot

What a truly wonderful space. I shot at The X Factory for the first time today with the fabulous Shelly.

The sheer scale and opportunities on offer at this studio are immense. The light that beams through the multitude of windows would make any photographer excited. And the array of interesting props/furniture and building fixtures gives so much scope to create stunning images.

I would love to shoot here again and would recommend anyone to book this studio.

I had the Pleasure of meeting Photographer Shelly when Shooting at his Studio in Stoke-On-Trent with another Photographer who had booked.

Shelly was Friendly, easy to get along with, relaxed, hospitable, Professional, just to name a few.

He showed us around the Grand Studio and allowed us to use anything in the Studio.

The Studio itself is a Photographers Dream. The opportunities are endless.

My Creative juices and Photographic Visions began flowing from entering the door and actually haven't finished yet. Look forward to getting back there again in the future to get some of them in to a Camera.

If you are thinking of using this Studio, go for it. It will cover all of your Photographic needs.

Thanks for being a great host also Shelly and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future.

Very good studio with a lot of interesting props and different styles of clothings. The studio has an amazing look to it. I would recommend this studio if you'd like to try something new.

Recently I completed my 9th Shoot at the X factor, so its time to leave a reference.

The X factory is not a photo studio its a photographic playground

The opportunity to shoot in wide open spaces is great and combined with the industrial backdrops offers the opportunity to try something different

Stocked with a range of props it enables the photographer to build a complete picture

Friendly support is on hand, but the great benefit is the natural light, large windows enable light to flood into the spaces, so you can get great images

Its a testimony to the studio that after 9 times I can still find new thing to shoot

Very Very Highly Recommended

I shot at the X Factory on Friday with Kevin and it is an amazing space with some great plans in the future.

It is a fantastic space for natural light shots and is very highly recommended.

There is an assortment of furniture and props which would all make for great images and endless ideas.

Can’t wait to go back 😊

Had a little studio day at The X Factory and I must say Kevin has been a great host, helping with showing togs in and around the studio.

I reccomend anyone to shoot there if they want a studio with loads of opportunities and filled with natural light.

First time shooting at the X Factory and it was brilliant experience . Must admit - largest studio I have ever been to - full of nice sets and props . Pre communication was spot on . We met at the station and headed to studio . During the shoot I felt comfortable - we created vast amount of great images and looking forward to work with X Factory soon again in near future . He has keen eye on angle and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough . Thanks again for amazing experience . Highly recommended

Hired the X Factory for a 4 hour shoot.

Communications were very prompt.

We were greeted in the car park and was helped with carrying my equipment inside, much appreciated.

We were shown around all the rooms, offered us the tea and coffee and were then left to shoot.

We used several areas available and if you think you want to cover all the areas I suggest you book the place for a whole month or longer!

We had a great shoot.

More appreciation for the help at the end of the shoot carrying my stuff back to the car.

I'll be back!

Highly recommended.

Worked here today with capri six, fantastic space, lots of props and lots of Windows for natural light.

Has a fabulous grungy feel.

Would highly recommend.

Fantastic venue, great urban location with lots of space and beautiful natural lighting. We love the peeling paint walls with colours of blue and yellow which look great in shots. Plenty of props there plus there is also a roof and courtyard for outdoor shots.

Kevin who manages the building is very friendly, great communication and easy to deal with.

Highly recommended!!!

I had another fantastic event at The X Factory last month (sorry about the late reference!). I'm coming back next week as it's such a great place to shoot from- Kevin made sure I had all the music, snacks and coffee I could want and even gave me a guided tour of the area while I was waiting for my train! The studio is such a great, versatile place to shoot from and I highly recommend it! :)

Kevin R

First shoot at the X Factor. Kevin provided a warm welcome and comprehensive tour of the massive space. Plenty of natural light and a real urban feel without the need to tackle broken glass and other hazards. Recommended.

I had my first shoot at the X Factory today with the excellent Roswell Ivory. I can honestly say that I have never encountered a studio quite like it! I was met and shown around by the very helpful owner, Kevin, and was amazed at the variety of photo opportunities on offer in the old factory’s rooms spaces, nooks and crannies. In the few hours that I spent there I don’t think I even scratched the surface of what this wonderful building provides. Definitely a place to revisit. Highly recommended!
