Workshops with idollphamine
If you are new to photography, or wanting to try your hand at studio photography - we are here to assist you.
We have many years of experience, working with world class professional models and companies. We are happy to share that wealth of experience with you and speed up your creative learning experience.
Shooting out of our Leeds studio, we can help you develop studio skills which will speed up your work flow, keep you running to time, make for a relaxing shoot and hopefully improve your results.
We can tailor the day to yourself and your individual requirements. Starting with getting the right kit for the job in hand, or advising on what you need to further your career. We can source suitable models or talent for your shoot, assisting with set design, costume, lighting and posing.
If you are wanting to go the extra mile - we can also give you some amazing photoshop instruction- which we have developed and use in many of our signature shots.
We made our name shooting latex fashion, so If that is something you want to do, let us know. We can also show you how set up and shoot many of our product shots, if this is your thing.
Our leeds studios contain a number of studio spaces, we have an entire floor to work with ( 5,000 sq ft) so we
really should be able to create anything you want.
If your goal is to have your work published in magazines or books, then we have a number of contacts and ideas to help you achieve this. If you want to create art - then we can do that too.
Booking is simple - just message us with what you are looking to shoot - and we will create a day suitable for you.
here are some of the many references we have received :-

” I had a workshop with Jay at Idollphamine studios today.The day was based on “product shots”
No surprise that I had a great day and learned a lot. I have worked with Jay before and the format for the day was laid out or us. I learned everything i needed - from lighting techniques - to what angles to shoot and even some photoshop methods - to make the best of my Images. I really enjoyed the day
it was Ace value. I would very highly recommend any future workshops” - thanks Jay
SHOTS BY SHINOBI
I booked a studio shoot with Jay to learn how to shoot commercial products - and how to create a space to do this in my home studio. Jay was wonderful to work with. He answered all my questions and even let me bring and use my own props. It was a very low stress environment - full of feedback and useful suggestions. I highly recommend shooting with Jay.
PHOTO BUZZ
I Had the Pleasure of attending a studio day with Jay at his fantastic studio space in leeds. I do quite a bit of studio stuff - but Jay had done an amazing set up job even before i got there. The day was extremely well planned. Jay and Lia have an amazing attention to detail and they are dedicated to ensuring that every shot is a “keeper”. I can’t recommend Jay - or the studio highly enough. If you want to see how to use lights and create something special in camera - Jay is the “go to guy” If you’re planning to shoot something to composite or just want to see how its done - this is the place to be. I can’t wait to see you guys again…

Excellent Studio session. Jay hosted a very informative group shoot. He really opens your mind to various lighting techniques and how to light strange sets - like an elevator! Jay also has vast Photoshop retouching experience - if you get a chance to get a group shoot - i highly recommend you book!
SIMON POLLARD
I Met Jays yesterday for the first time on a group shoot he organised. Jay is very easy to get along with and I would recommend his group shoots to anyone.
ANDY MORTON PHOTOGRAPHY
I met Jay for the first time at one of his studio days. Really sound guy! - down to earth and he really knows his stuff. it was a pleasure to learn from him and I will certainly be doing so again - many thanks for a great day.
PHIL M PHOTOGRAPHY
I wanted to improve my lighting techniques and learn some new photoshop methods, so i set up a session with Jay at idollphamine studios. “Definitely one of the best mentoring sessions i have ever had” Jay is a great tutor of both shooting and lighting - he also has a lot of retouching knowledge. I can’t think of another photographer / studio combination that offers all of this! - and what’s especially great is that the studio will tailor the sessions to your needs. I got exactly what i wanted out of the day and I would recommend them without hesitation.
ROB THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I met Jay for the first time at his studio event. The guy is a diamond, super friendly and very helpful. Drinks tea by the gallon! says everything you need to know - he teaches in a common sense and easy to understand way. I learned a lot! I don’t need to comment on the quality of his work - it’s obvious from his portfolio. Highly recommended. Cheers Rob.
