A great studio with large open spaces and wonderful natural light. Plenty of different setup options for a full day's worth of shooting. On hand support and advice (if needed) by the studio owner Dan, on both lighting setups as well as editing post shoot. I live coming to this studio, it has such a wonderful atmosphere and personality. Plus the coffees are fantastic! More...

I've used this studio on a number of occasions. It's a lovely space, very well lit and lots of lighting and modifiers available. Dan (the owner) is an amazing guy, always on hand to help if needed and just a good laugh... regardless if you're laughing at him or with him. More...

I've been to The Loft a few times now and have to say, I wish I'd found it sooner!Always a happy & friendly buzz about the place, add to that the quality & variety of equipment to hand it really is so easy to shoot there. You can tell straight away the potential it offers your shoot by the size & array of props, backgrounds and backdrops. Like I say, it's a great studio and I endeavour to get there at every opportunity. More...

I have hired the loft a few times now and it never disappoints. The studio is a wonderful relaxed space to work in. With all the lighting you need at hand. I look forward to booking many more sessions in 2016. Thanks Dan for all your help also over the past year. More...

Have used the studio a few times now and have always been impressed with the facilities and space available. I would definitely recommend its use to any photographer in the wider area. Ive attended group shoots here and it has such a wide amount of space that even with a lot of people there, there is still plenty of room to work and versatility to shoot different setups More...

I've used the loft on a number of occasions now, and it's simply a gorgeous place to shoot. Well equipped and plenty of space with the possibility of multiple different sets and lighting effects available. The photography group I belong to uses it on a monthly basis for a group workshop and comfortably accommodates multiple photographers and two lighting setups. It really is a quality studio. More...

I've been using The Loft Studio for a while now and it's one of the best I've used. It's a really comfortable space with a great raw feel with all the exposed floorboards and beams but feels much more like a creative space than most clinical white box studios. There's some excellent equipment to use and space enough for groups and I've already used it for one of my own photographic workshops. Definitely one of the best studios I've used, highly recommended. More...

I did my first shoot at Dan's Loft Studio last month and found it to be a wonderful studio with great space and facilities. Dan himself couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. I will be using this studio many times and thoroughly recommend it to others. More...

Dan shot all of the business head-shots for our website and Linked-in usage. He gave us several options but we settled on the dramatic 'hero lighting' effect in black and white as it suited our image perfectly.
