Dom & Rachel - Trainee photographers
Photography training

We really enjoyed the Improving Your Photography course. Ione's training style is great, very clear, very focused and his enthusiasm is really motivating. We picked up some really good tips from both the theory and practical sections and the take away notes will be a really good resource. Shame we didn't have longer to spend with him. Maybe we'll be back again after we've had some time to practice

Lindsay Schofield
Studio Hire

I just wanted to say how perfect everything was yesterday at the studio and to say a big thank you for arranging cover on a Sunday. We got loads of great pictures and everyone had a good time in the process!

We were all really impressed with the space, the equipment made available to us and in particular to Ed. He was absolutely brilliant, so helpful and knowledgeable. One of the team let us down on the day and we most certainly wouldn't have got all the shots we needed without his assistance.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending your studio to both friends and colleagues and I will certainly be looking to using it again in the future, such a lovely chilled out space and really good value for money.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes

Joanne McLean, Creative Director, Cassius Management
Promotional Photography

I would like to thank the guys at Mind-Studio for an incredible job in creating a promotional shot which knocks the socks off all those who see it. We had a short time to make something amazing and we provided with a great idea, our location was sorted for us and we found the added energy and commitment from the team made the shoot great fun for all. Since our shot was adventurous we benefited from the amazing Photo-shop skills to create a shot that has fantasy, depth and excitement. I would recommend to anyone looking for added creativity and a team who will go the extra mile great work.

Alexandra Graham - Actor
Photography

As an actor, it's vital that you get the right headshots from someone who knows how to shoot you instinctively AND can get great results for a good price.  Ione has always given me great quality pictures which are eye-grabbing and amazing-looking.  The great professionalism of his means that you're always at your ease when working with him.  He's always my first port of call when I need great photos!

Katie Oliver - BBC Producer
Studio Hire/Photography

I hope you're well and not working toooo hard.  I've been meaning to email you for ages now to say a very BIG thank you for all your help in making our surprise filming with The Saturdays and TMiers go so well last week.  I was filming in Scotland last week and didn't have much of a chance to get on email I'm afraid.  We're all really pleased with how it went and the location was fab and eveyone from Mindstudio was so helpful.  Please pass along our thanks to everyone who was involved - and being so accommodating when we had to change the place we were going to film the surprise in etc.

Thanks so much for sending through these retouched images.  They look fab.  I've downloaded them all no probs and just editing with them now.

Thanks so much again for all of your hard work on this project,

Best wishes,

Katie

In business, I’m very exigent and I needed to work with a company that could fulfil my requirements.
Mindstudio understood clearly my vision and the image I wanted to portray through 3 Colours Rule website.
They designed an incredible website and I’m more than happy with the results.
So I dare you to challenge them, you won’t be disappointed.

Nadia Holkova
Model/Portfolio shoot

The photo shoot went very well! Ione & Ian made me feel comfortable and I really enjoyed the experience.
From start to finish Ian & Ione were professional, friendly and made the shoot fun! They took the stress and worry out of what could be a scary experience and replaced it with two fun hours that whizzed by. They produced some really fabulous shots.
The photographers gave good and helpful advice in creating great photographs. I was very impressed with the standard of the photographs that were sent to me.
I'm really happy with the pictures.
Thank you very much for all you've done for me.

This is my second time using MindStudio to build my modelling portfolio. Ione is such an amazing photographer who knows what he is doing. Working with MindStudio has been an amazing experience. They are very creative, understanding and try their best to create the types of look you are trying to go for.  I will be more than willing to work with MindStudio again in the future.

Mindstudio provided excellent and friendly support from start to finish, from advising the most efficient and effective way to shoot a very complicated brief, through to complete after sales care in providing the exact images I requested.  Not to mention the stunning shots!  I highly recommend them!



Eren Ozkural - Music Video Director/Photographer
Studio Hire

I could not fault a single aspect of MindStudio. The facilities were spacious, the equipment was top tier and the props were varied.

Above all else, the service that Ione provided was second to none; an aspect that I have found lacking in most other studios.

Simply put, I will be coming back to Mind Studios as often as possible.

Eren.

My shoot with Ian and Ione was very relaxing and fun. They created a great atmosphere and put me at ease from the very moment I arrived at the studio. The studio is wonderfully kept and the vibrant energy keeps your creative juices flowing. Both photographers are professional and easy to work with. I had an amazing day and my photos are great. Thank you so much for helping to get my portfolio into great shape. Good Luck for the future Dannique.

Catherine Lima
Singers promo shots

When I was looking for a photo studio I browsed the internet and found several studios that seemed to offer what I needed but I particularly liked how the guys at MindStudio described the way they work and of course, there were some fantastic photos on their site. What a great choice I made. I had the best time during the shoot and am absolutely thrilled with the resulting photos. Many thanks to Ian and his team for a completely relaxing


Lynne Hithot Ltd. - Line Dancing Guru
Shoot for DVD cover

Looking for a photographic team that I felt I could trust when researching for my DVD cover was serious business. Choosing Ian and Ione to take this all important photograph was one of my best decisions ever!

The photos were so good I had a real hard time deciding what to use. (I am a very decisive person usually). Nothing was too much trouble for these guys - they went out of their way to understand my brief, were hugely generous and giving, and delivered exactly what I had asked for.
I will not hesitate in using Mind Studio's again.
Thanks guys.

Morelene Fisher - Photographer
Studio hire & assisting

It was really great and I enjoyed every minute.
I want to personally thank you for your assistance on the night, it was a great learning experience your help in the lighting design improved on the quality of the previous work I've done (not to mention showing me the image zoom on my own camera that I didn't realize was there. I really should read the manual).

I'll be back in the new year and look forward to seeing you and Ione again

have a great month

Neil Allgood - Head of Barclays Camera club
Photography and Studio Training

I’d like to say a big thank you for providing a relaxed but professional training session in a really super studio during which I (and the others on the course) learnt a fantastic amount about lighting and light manipulation.

I also gained a great deal of confidence for shooting in a studio environment and I have now gone on to shoot in other studio environments and feel much more comfortable directing the models.

Speaking of models, the ones selected for the training session were great, and I now have some really excellent shots to begin my portfolio.

I’ll be looking to use MindStudio again (and again)”

Chris Mear - Owner at Right Connection Recruitment
Staff Portrait Photography

Mindstudio were excellent. Really helpful, very professional and above all their work was excellent. I have recommended them to several of the companies I work with and will definitely use them again in the future.

Good luck and look forward to working with you next time.

Jeshan & Monika
Event Photography

We would like to thank Ione for the great service and lovely photographs he captured on our wedding day. Professionalism, and friendliness made us feel relaxed although there was raining just before our ceremony. Fortunately Ione was fully prepared for any kind of weather and situation.
It was great to get back from honeymoon and look at the lovely photos he had taken.
We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Miriam Mica - Menta Health Promotion Co-ordinator, NHS
Photography

A last minute request to you was dealt with really efficiently - very reassuring and you did exactly what you committed to. You captured our public event to promote mental health and well being from start to finish, giving a real sense of the day through some fantastic, clear images with superb quality and attention to detail. The photographer worked in a way that really respected people and situations - quietly and unobtrusively. Thankyou for recording a diverse,happy day and contributing to its success.

Anthony - Photographer
Training

Just wanted to make an addition to my comments of Saturday’s course.

Since going home I have had a chance to view the images I took on my computer, I can open the same image 50 times and still be amazed at what I achieved.

The day was great and the models supplied were excellent.

Even the input i got whilst not shooting was a great advantage and valuable, Ione’s Input was clear and direct and I now feel I can go into a studio with confidence and not arrogance ;-)  I can say this now as I have completed the course ‘I would have happily paid double the cost’ – and you can quote me.

I still cant believe I was doing the ‘tea pot’ pose ,just goes to show how away from yourself you go when having a great time.

Thanks a lot guys and I look forward to more lessons with you soon

Best wishes,

Anthony

Dr Even - Musician/Composer
Press shots/Portraits

The experience at MindStudio has been very fine, all the guys were friendly and professional at the same time.
They told me: "We want you to go away from here with a big smile on your face..." and so it has been!

They have many ideas and they work hard until they achieve very good results, and this is the right approach for a shoot.

I really recommend them.

Cheers.

Jon Justice - Director/Producer
Studio Hire

Dear chaps,

I'd just like to say thank you so very much for your kind help and
support in getting our video shoot completed today. I really enjoyed working in your studio and I'm very impressed with your facilities and staff.

I was very impressed with the diplomacy and tact with which you
handled everything. Indeed, all our cast and crew felt very welcome and had a thoroughly good time at the studio, for which I am very grateful.

I've shot at film studios and used production facilities all around
the world and have rarely come across one that can match you in terms of friendly service, assistance and support.

I will not hesitate to recommend you to friends and colleagues. In the past I've paid out a lot more money for much less friendly surroundings. Heck, I've used back-lots costing upwards of 30K a day and been less welcome.

So I'd just like to re-iterate my expression of gratitude and appreciation for your facilities and staff. You guys fucking rock.

Kindest regards,

Jon Justice



Maryam & James – Photographers
Studio Hire

Hi Guys!

This is just a quick note to say thank you for letting us use the Studio last weekend. It was a hectic shoot and I don't think me, James or Lauren got a break the entire 4 hours but it was well worth it. We got some really good shots out of it. I have attached a couple for you guys to see (:

We also have a website up now (http://jamphotos.net) where all our past work is.

Thanks again for letting us use your studio. It's always a pleasure to work there and we really appreciate all you guys have done to help us.
We have both grown as photographers since the first time we used Mindstudios a year ago and look forward to future projects there! (:

Maryam (and James)

We weren't certain what to expect at the photoshoot as we've never done one before but it was such a fun experience. Ione made us feel really comfortable and the final photos are fabulous! We are thrilled with them and they will be a lasting great memory of my mom's visit to London.
Thanks!

Have a great weekend!

Flavilla Fongang - Image Consultant
Promo Photography/Website

There is nothing better than working with a company that provides each time an outstanding service.

They have a great sense of creativity and an incredible attention to details.
I contacted them for a photoshoot and with them it became a real work of art. I am still impressed with the results we obtained.

They also did my website, and their marketing background helped me appropriately design my website.

I love the fact that they get involved and really want to make sure you are satisfied with the results.
The most genuine, patient persons to work with.
Do not hesitate a second to work with them, 100% SATISFACTION

Albina Hiorns - Model
Lingerie/Beauty/Fine Art Portfolio

I had the most professional, fun and creative test shoot at MindStudio at the end of which I was left with amazing images for my portfolio. Ione is one of the most pleasant, friendly, cute and helpful photographers I have ever worked with. I would recommend anyone to use MindStudio services!



Phil Macleod - Photographer
Tuition / Studio Lighting / Post production

Many thanks to Mind Studio for the excellent training day, I found it really enjoyable, and educational.

To work with a company that arranged everything for me, including the ordering of lunch, while i focussed on the photography was excellent.

Ione is without doubt a perfectionist, and to spend time discussing lighting set-up and techniques, that we then put into practice was very insightful into the world of professional photography techniques.
The way that Ione was always there, but never intrusive with his help and guidance made the day and the learning experience all the better.

Once we had finished shooting the wonderful model that they had arranged, we started looking at the post production techniques, where I was amazed at how quickly and easily he achieved results. It took me way too long, but at least I have walked away with a set of stunning images, and the knowledge of how to improve them (thanks to the cheat sheet!!).

I would highly recommend the course to any of my photography friends and colleagues, and I am sure that we will have another session shortly.

Kind Regards

Phil



Daniel Koscu
Portraits/Headshots

It was my first time in a professional photography studio, and so I was quite nervous at first. However, the friendly and professional staff helped put me at ease. I enjoyed the photoshoot more than I thought I would. The high standards of the finished results have made me a very happy customer. I will certainly be going back to Mind Studios again in the future if I need any more photos done. And next time I will know what to expect, so I imagine that the results will be even better. I have just started my portfolio. And through using Mind Studios, I will be able to gain a very professional and varied collection of photos. All at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Regards,

Daniel



Ben Langdon - Photographer

Thank you for the brilliant training the other day, you explained everything really well and answered a lot questions i have been meaning to find out for ages. I am already putting what i learnt into practice with good effect, so thanks a lot



Monica Iconica - Singer
Portraits/Fashion

The pictures taken for me at mindstudio were beyond what i ever imagined - they were slick, quirky, sharp and interesting to look at with great use of light and of colours. Ione was a true professional and he was able to draw out from me my personality and attitude, which has been difficult in the past with other photographers, but which he was able to capture and is evident in my pictures.

If you're someone looking for an outstanding experience, then Mindstudio is highly recommended.
