Gothic Horror Abandoned Hotel Shoot Day 2 Wales 28th September 2025
Gothic Horror is my favourite genre of horror - the aesthetic is as beautiful as it is terrifying. Tales of tortured souls abound, combining horror, mystery, and the supernatural. This is a brand new event for photographers of all levels in an amazing, unique and distinctive location. We have four amazing models and some very special themes and styling.

Models: 4
Spaces: 16

Location: Builth Wells, Powys, Mid Wales
There are 16 spaces on this event. I’ve deliberately kept group sizes small to ensure a relaxed shoot where everyone has the same opportunity to shoot and work with our models. You will be working in groups of 4 working with each model and you will rotate around the models during the course of the day.
The cost? An astonishingly good value £260 per person which includes all location fees, model fees and costuming.
£75 pp deposit to secure your space, with the final balance payable 28 days before event. I have £5 million public liability insurance for your peace of mind. I also have risk assessments available to view so ask to see them.
Our Models
Our models are the amazing Cariad, Silk, Ana Maria Viga and Samii Jinx. All of these are experienced models who, alongside my styling and characterisation, will help you create amazing images for your portfolio in time for Halloween!
Our Themes
Each of our models will be dressed in a fully styled look with makeup and props that pay attention to every single detail of their character. You can learn about each character below.Edith- A homage to my favourite ever Gothic Horror film, Crimson Peak! Edith is the guardian of the manor, driven by a tragic desire to shield the innocent from harm. She appears to lost travelers, leading them to safety.
The Clockwork Maiden - A life-sized automaton with porcelain skin, her movements are unnervingly smooth. She hums a haunting lullaby that disorients those who hear it.
The Mad Alchemist - Once a brilliant, beautiful doctor who turned to dark experiments, her mechanical monocle emits an eerie green glow and she carries vials of glowing, green substances that react violently.
The Demon Seamstress - quite possibly the creepiest character who haunts the hotel along with her posessed sewing machine! The Demon Seamstress has taken mourning her husband to the extreme, and is creating a mini version of him in the hopes that one day the Mad Alchemist can successfully animate it so she will be reunited with him. This character will have their own set build.
