A Goodbye Message from The Male Studio, Bristol

We’ve made the difficult decision to bring The Male Studio to a close, sadly. Read our statement for more information.

And if you’ve had a promotional shoot with us and would like your images without a watermark, let us know. We’d be glad to send them over with our thanks.

This is not a bitter ending. Just an honest one.

…To keep this going in the way it deserves.

We are not stopping photography entirely so if you’d like to follow our future journey, just drop us a message.

We want to be clear: the models you’ve seen featured have been wonderful and respectful.

Running a small creative business means doing everything yourself, every minor detail and every major decision, and while we’ve loved parts of the process, we no longer have the capacity…

…where censorship and algorithms have worked against us.

We’ve dealt with no shows, misleading enquiries, and boundaries being pushed, all of which have left us drained. We’ve tried to stay true to our original vision, but somewhere along the way, it got lost.

The work has become too heavy, and the energy we put in is no longer matched by what we get back.

There's no one specific reason for our decision, it's a variety of factors.

We’ve faced repeated challenges with visibility, especially on social media…

It's time to say goodbye.

We’ve decided to bring The Male Studio to a close.This has been a difficult decision, but it's the right one.

What started as a joyful, creative space has slowly become something that no longer lights us up.
