I had a shoot here this morning with model LouiseBon - very impressed with the studio. Barney was very helpful and I appreciate him arriving to the studio early to turn on the heaters for us. Makes a great cuppa - would recommend this studio to any photographers or models :)

Had a wonderful day in this studio on Friday. Barney was really helpful and welcoming.
I certainly recommend this studio as it is very big, has different props and the location is just wonderful.

I very much enjoyed my studio day here last week; Barney is a lovely, courteous hospitable studio-owner who was very kind and helpful, both to me and to the photographers who booked me. I wouldn't hesitate to work there again, or to recommend the studio to others; what a nice place (and there were chocolate biscuits, hoorah!).

Studio day at Barneys Southdowns studio this weekend. It has come on so much still I first saw it in a rough construction stage about 5 months ago. This time I was let loose with all the lights and props to use. Barney is a very good studio owner. Gives help and advice when need, but gives out the way when not. Does make a good cuppa. The studio is brilliant and certainly has everything I could ever need, from the infidently curve, pure black backdrops, bedroom to living room sets. I will be back
