References for Art Asylum Reloaded Photo Studio

Mirror Image'S'

I've used the studio before as a model but this is the first time as a photographer. I contacted the studio at the last minute after being let down and they where amazingly helpful and accommodating.

I'm still a beginner so needed help setting up lights etc but the studio owner was so helpful, moving stuff about and offering advice.

Plenty of tea/coffee and jaffa cakes made this a very good experience all round. It's an amazing space and would definitely use it again....thankyou.

Had a great shoot at Asylum at the weekend! The venue is quirky and well equipped, with lots of different options for interesting shots.

Steve was really friendly and helpful throughout our shoot, and also makes a crackin’ cuppa! Can’t wait to head back for another shoot very soon.

Highly recommend :)

The studio has 2 different rooms with loads of different backgrounds/options to take photos!

Steve was super friendly and helpful, and was on it with keeping our coffees and teas filled up!!

Already planning another shoot here soon can’t wait :)

I used Art Asylum Reloaded for the second time when Tigerbelle came down to Weymouth as part of her Southern tour.

The Studio is a good size and is clean and tidy. It is well equipped with several light and modifiers. There are four areas, a changing room, a storage area, and Two areas to shoot in. There is a large infinity curve in the main studio area. This can be used as a white area or can be lit with coloured gels so is really creative. The Second shooting area I made use of the natural light as well as using flash. I love the different wall textures and the vintage furniture as well as a bed so can be used for Boudoirs, Fashion and Glamour.

Steve is friendly and helpful, and was present during the shoot offering help moving lights and offering advice for lighting set ups. I always find this useful during shoots. He also makes a decent cup of tea!

I would recommend the studio to any creative.

Massive thanks to Steve for letting me use the studio at very short notice Had booked a location shoot with Melany but the weather was against us so we changed to Studio all very last min. So thanks again Steve

Another superb two visits to the Art Asylum Reloaded on my recent tour.

Steve really does look after everyone who visits so well. He is always on hand to help with anything technical and also to make hot drinks, all of this is very much appreciated. :)

The studio itself is brilliant to use as you have the choice of the regular studio set-up and/or a room with original features and natural light.

I am definitely looking forward to future visits here!!!! :D

What an awesome studio! Had a fab four hours shooting here today and was greeted by Steve the owner who looked after us so well, making hot drinks and sorting out the lighting - and wafting fabric for us in the side lines!

I love the natural light that one of the rooms has to offer, plus the historic features of this room including the brick work and a fireplace.

The other room has a sizeable infinity wall and great lighting setting up. The four hours flew by but luckily I’m going back there tomorrow and the day after!

Thank you Steve for being such an excellent host and I highly recommended the Art Asylum :)

Well M e l a n y just said it all. AAR is a long way from me , but was definitely worth the trip. Steve is so helpful and gives great advice. I will definitely shoot here again. Thanks Steve. Highly recommended.

If you are new to studio photography come shoot here you will be able to learn lots from Steve. Thanks Steve.

Another great shoot at the equally great Art Asylum Reloaded studio. Steve was there waiting for me, even though I was early and put the kettle on straight away - what a top chap :)

Some more furniture added to the second shooting space making one end of it much more bedroom-like.

Steve was on hand the whole time to not only make endless cups of tea for me and coffee for the model but also moving lights and furniture and suggesting angles and setups, all of which was a huge help.

Really can't recommend this studio highly enough - except it could be closer to Poole, where I live!

Keep up the good work Steve :)

I've been practically living at the studio lately so it's only right I do another reference. Ive gotten to know the studio well now and there are yet again more new additions. Every time I shoot at the Art Asylum there is something new and improved. Steve always takes on board suggestions. New blankets now in the bedroom area, rug coming soon, green screen, brand new tethering facilities, voiles on the windows which looks beautiful. Steve has made great use of the space available. The photographers I work with often pick the art asylum as their choice of studio to shoot at so that speaks for itself.

No doubt one of the best prepared studios, make up wipes, hair grips, a dressing room, fan, heater.. You name it!

The owner, Steve, is brilliant, easy to talk to and friendly. He looks after the studio well and makes you feel welcome and safe.

He's shows the photohther the ropes and is happy to stay and assist whenever required.

Another great studio day. Until next time!

I booked a couple of hours of Bobbi Castle’s studio day at the Art Asylum, as I wanted to shot using a large infinity wall. It's a unique space, quirky brick walls, wooden floors, south facing room for natural light shots, and a large infinity wall with selection of studio light & modifiers. Steve (the owner) explained the available gear, and just left us to the shoot, very relaxed atmosphere, I expect to work there again soon.
