Reviews

‘There are also plenty of locations outside, including a large shed, a stream, complete with bridge, and a large area of woodland. The whole place is an absolute delight for any photographer, providing for natural light and OCF shooting. In fact I would say you are only limited by your imagination.’

Carlos Bob, Photographer

‘One of my favourite spots is the derelict building outside- my pure dark heart absolutely loves that grunge spot. I’ve created some fantastic images there!’

Liv Wild, Model
