I shot here last week and I could not of been more happy with the location. It was warm with heaters, everyone was so friendly and there were chocolate biscuits and tea and coffee!! What more could you want? Highly recommended!

Loving the fact that there is a great new studio space in Weymouth again!

Well done to Steve for having a great vision and turning a dream into reality!

I love the space and huge Infinity wall, along with amazing brickwork and beamed ceiling! It’s an amazing place in which you can let loose.

Great comms with Steve on booking and on the day of the first shoot.

Liking it so much I cannot wait to get in there again!

So great to have access to a studio in Weymouth. Welcome back Art Asylum Reloaded :)

The studio is great with an absolutely fantastic white infinity wall. Had my first shoot here last week and can't wait to book in lots more.

100% recommended.

This was my second day at Art Asylum and it was GREAT!

How you could find a way to not shoot something incredible in this space is beyond me - even though it was a long day, the inspiration kept flowing and despite each photographers differing style and skill, every shoot was a winner thanks to Art Asylum.

Sean is an absolute star too - a genuine, really lovely person who made sure I was warm and comfortable throughout the day, was always on hand to help and chat to between shoots, and our own shoot we did blew me away!!! He is super talented and has a real passion which is very evident in his work.

Loved my day and will hopefully be squeezing more in before it sadly closes!

Thanks Sean and Art Asylum :)

Yesterday I enjoyed a full day shoot with Gem at the awesome Art Asylum Studios.

I came with a plan and left with a plan to do more! :)

Had a brilliant day, creating lots of fine images, particularly in spaces I hadn't used before.

Sean was totally supportive as always and made sure everything worked smoothly. :) The regular cups of tea were both necessary and welcome.

Many thanks for a great day! I hope to be back again soon.

My first shoot at the this studio went very well, with the very helpful Sean, I have some very good images.

Will be looking forward to shooting there again.

Highly recommended.

Had a truly epic shoot with Tigerbelle at this tremendous facility. This was part of a studio day and Sean was on hand to give me the tour of the many different areas that can be used and the added attraction of several permanent sets plus a studio set up. Indeed there would be enough to keep me occupied for a day and more.

Thanks for your hospitality and support.

Much enjoyed my shoot here with Tigerbelle, it was my first shoot here and so glad I managed a shoot before it closes due to the sale of the building. Before the shoot Sean was brilliant to communicate with, supportive and easy to make arrangements.

When we arrived, Sean provided refreshments much appreciated after my journey there and a very useful tour. The place is so large and warren like that it would be difficult to find your way around without one.

Sean was available throughout the shoot in the event of any issues.

Thank you Sean for looking after us both so well and for providing convivial chat before and afterwards. Good luck with making the transition when you finally have to vacate.

Recommended, without hesitation. Surely the Art Asylum needs to be on everyone's place to shoot at list. Shoot there while you still can. You'll enjoy exploring the possibilities here.

This was my second visit to this amazing studio. What started out as a studio day ended up as an epic two and a half days!!! :D

Sean is just brilliant at making sure everyone is ok, looked after and given the tour of the building.

The Art Asylum just offers so much diversity for creativeness with its derelict areas, natural light and studio set up, endless possibilities!

Thank-you so much for looking after me Sean and putting up with me for such an extended time, hope the kettle recovers quickly!! :P

OMG! what a amazing place!

I was down in weymouth on holiday and decided to book 3 hours at art asylum - im so glad i did because the studio itself is totally awesome and without a doubt one of my favourites.

Sean was lovely and so friendly.

I would recommend this studio to all models and photographers.

What can I say about this location:

Great Set up

Great Location

Cracking Hospitality

So many rooms and styles of photography that can be exampled here

Such a creative space

caters for daylight and studio lighting

absolutely adored it and if it was nearer home we would be making the time to shoot there more regularly

Hopefully we wont leave it too long before going again

Its an absolute must and can accommodate easily 5 tog/5 models on a group shoot without you encroaching on anyone else

BigBaldTone

It's simple really - you MUST shoot here!!

Incredible place, with so much variety and it's huge too. You could spend days shooting here and still not have enough time....

Sean is a top bloke, unobtrusive but on hand for any help or assistance that may be needed.

Most definitely will come back to shoot again and cannot fault the place in any way, shape or form....

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I had the pleasure of another sold-out studio day at this amazing venue today. The Art Asylum is easily one of my favourite studios in the country; Sean is always there with a warm welcome, a cuppa and a helping hand, and the building itself is just phenomenal! Every time I go I discover a new room or corridor... Endless possibilities! I would encourage everyone to go as there really is something for all styles and tastes. Thoroughly recommended and I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Had a little shoot here yesterday. Sean is a lovely guy and incredibly easy to deal with.

The space is incredible and possibilities endless.

I will be back!

Art asylum is definitely my favourite studio easily.

There's lots of open spaces with natural light as well as studio lights and set ups.

There are so many different rooms and lots of options.

And of course finishing off a shoot with doggy cuddles is the best!

Amelie Alden.

Art Asylum is hands down one of my absolute favourite shooting locations! To call it a studio is an understatement, this is really a haven of amazing and unique sets that ooze inspiration and make any shot something amazing. The owner Sean is also lovely - literally, you must work in this place while you still have a chance! A second studio day and also a potential 1-1 with sean is now booked :D :D

Knight Vision Photography

Thanks for a great evening were all I had to do was turn up as every thing including two outstanding models were in place. As this was my first visit I was so impressed with so many shooting areas well thought out.

I'm looking forward to future visits as you could change your images so many times without using the same area. Very strongly recommend if you want good space.

KindCocoa

Had my first shoot at Art Asylum the other day. Finally!! Not that I'm the first to say this, but this place is incredible! There is such a variety of locations to shoot in, and the place is so huge, I would've gotten lost had it not been for Sean showing me round! He was an excellent host, and I can't WAIT to come back.

Of COURSE, highly, highly recommended :) x

Art Asylum is certainly an impressive studio, to say the least!

It's absolutely huge with a whole myriad of set ups. The ultimate creative playground for models and photographers alike. I think I could easily work there for a month straight and not run out of ideas!

Sean is also a wonderful, helpful host and his teaching style is perfect - clear and straight to the point. As someone who has been involved in this industry for many years, Sean's teaching style is one of the best I've witnessed. He doesn't over complicate things which I see many other photography tutors do.

Art Asylum is definitely one of the best studios I've had the privilege to work in and I would happily work there again in an instant.

My highest possible recommendations!

My second shoot at the art asylum and this time it was an organised group shoot so I got to shoot in more of the different sets.

What a really great place this is. There seem to be almost unlimited places to shoot all giving a totally unique image.

On top of that, Sean really knows how to make a cup of tea!

Many thanks, I'll be back again in the new year!
