The Journey so far
"We All Need the Chance to Feel Included and be a Part of a Group to Feel Accepted, Just as We Are".
The motivation behind creating Rebels Roots was to develop a space that would be a safe haven for any person from any walk of life. The studio is a prejudice free zone where special moments are captured and visions become reality. Neurodiversity is kept close to the heart of the owners who have worked tirelessly to ensure that this can be integrated into Rebels Roots.
Why is Rebels Roots Different?
An incredibly diverse team. Amber & Arran are open about their uniqueness and combine creative techniques to bring out the best Rebel in you. Both team members are fully DBS checked and have worked in the industry for many years, promoting safe and professional working environments. Rebels' recognised the importance of comfort and wellbeing during your session at the studio and offers snacks and refreshments, wifi and robes and slippers.
Our Journey
Rebels Roots wasn't built in a day. A casual conversation one morning turned into months building the studio, knocking down walls and rebuilding them. Day by day there was more progress to be made and the light at the end became more visible.
