Testimonial by Photographer Brian Hunt:
“I’ve shot In lots of studios. Most of them are commercial spaces repurposed to be a studio space. They have the normal advantages of commercials spaces .Large doors to load equipment, lots of wall sockets for power, high ceilings etc. With that stated those facilities have disadvantages. They are sterile and lack any hint of inspiration. Can one create in a space of this nature? Yes,… but you will be fighting uphill.
Sometimes the space is shared with other projects that are going on at the same time. You could be right next to a group that is playing loud music and running equally loud equipment. All a while you are trying to create a connection with the client, model or subject and share a flow of conscientiousness to generate the images that you want. You could negate the possibility of distractions by renting the entire facility, but that doesn’t remove the environmental aspect and would cost much more money. You will still be in a facility that is probably better suited to making widgets, than it is to making Art.
Tony Ward has curated the environmental aspect of his property to be as inspiring as it is functional and accommodating. As soon as you arrive you at the enclave you will know that you are in a space that is dedicated to the creation, and appreciation of Art.”
