References for Art Asylum Reloaded Photo Studio

Busha

This is a long overdue reference.

I have been using Art Asylum as my home base studio for several years now and intend to continue. The combination of the large infinity white wall and shabby chic natural light room mean I can can shoot various different styles in the same day and will often get look book and editorial shots of the same outfit on the same day. The beach is a 100 yard walk away which offers even more options!

Steve is always very helpful and easy going which makes shooting here a very relaxed and productive experience.

Thanks mate!

Always enjoy working here: such a great space with so many options. White wall/infinity curve, bare floor boards, bare brick walls, studio lights, huge windows for natural light, sofa, chairs, bed (proper one, not a blow up!), tons of outfits from evening gowns to lingerie, lights and modifiers a-plenty. Highly recommended :)

Second shoot at Art Asylum and Steve was his usual welcoming self with coffee to follow shortly after arrival and then leaving us to it.

Art Asylum is a great place to shoot and with the model we took full advantage of a drop-down backdrop, the daylight flooded front room and even in the alleyway and stairs below to give an urbex scenario.

The possibilities are great whatever type of shoot you have in mind.

Many thanks Steve!

A very last minute shoot which Steve was happy to arrange - what a Top Chap! Studio, as always, was nice and tidy, everything to hand and ready to go. We only shot in the white wall area, but that was perfect for what we wanted.

Highly recommended :)

First visit to Art Asylum and I and the model were received with a warm welcome from Steve who couldn’t have been more helpful in getting my stuff in and providing hot coffee.

Art Asylum is a really interesting studio providing a multitude of opportunities for your creativity be it plain white cove, rustic brick walls, wood panelling, a bedroom scene or more with plenty of accessories and modern lighting equipment on hand. Outside also provides some urbex type potential (on a warmer day maybe :-))

Steve can be there if you need help or, be discreetly absent if you prefer.

Worked well for the model and me and we had a great shoot

Many thanks Steve.

Due to roadworks got to studio almost half an hour late but Steve had stayed on to make sure we were all set up and ready to go. This is a terrific studio to use: white wall/infinity curve, bare floorboards, wood panelled wall, flaking brickwork. Great set of props including full-size bed, button backed chair, sofa, dressing table. Also a great wardrobe: dresses, lingerie, shoes and accessories. All round excellent and highly recommended :)

Was great to catch up with @rawingwaves Steve at his studio.

Had to reschedule our previous booking due to ill health and Steve was really understanding about this.

The studio has some great rustic walls for great visuals, lovely natural light even in winter, infinity curve, props and so much more.

Steve was about with his great tea-making abilities 😉 as well as supporting us models and togs whilst there.

Great guy who also produces some stunning imagery

Great teacher and all round nice guy

Studio is highly recommended

Steve kindly invited me down to his studio to shoot a model he was working with.

Had a few bad experiences in studios mainly due to my inexperience, laziness with the camera and level of photography. But was fantastic working with Steve. Steve helped me set up, set his studio up to maximise my shooting potential and guided me through.

His studio is a fantastic to shoot, some amazing backdrops and props and lots of lights and equipment. Through his help and guidance really did achieve some great shots.

Great location, really helpful guy. Thanks Steve!

Fab studio, great equipment & setup, unique features, helpful and knowledgeable owner (Steve)...

Cannot ask for much more from a studio IMHO

Booked for our use for the whole day and didn't disappoint.

Totally recommended for new and experienced photographers by me

TopherLynn

Stunning venue with plenty of creative spaces for any photographer & model to work with.

A veritable playground for you to enjoy and be creative with lighting & set up.

Steve is a tremendous host. Up beat, offers any help you may need, and makes a fantastic cup of coffee.

Would recommend this space. Had a great shoot there when I was there, and know that anyone who is in need of a space to work in, should give Art Asylum a look

I visit the Art Asylum quite regularly and every time I go there has been improvements done. It's a great space and steve was there to help with lighting and make tea. It really is a great space and I think everyone enjoyed today's shoot.

This was my first time at the new Art Asylum and I was not disappointed. Steve is on-hand at the start of a shoot to show you round and help you find what you need. He then left us to get on with the shoot. The different rooms are great for creating different backgrounds and scenes. There are plenty of clothes and accessories which we searched through to add more colour to the scenes we were shooting. Steve is very helpful both at the booking stage and on the day.

Had my first studio day at this fantastic place recently, and it was so much fun! On the day Steve met me at the station, showed me around the studio when we arrived and provided tea, snacks and lunch during the day. he always made sure that I am happy with everything and there was nothing too much trouble for him that I asked. The studio is full of amazing settings, props and outfits and Steve is always on hand to help to achieve the result the photographers are after. I had an absolutely amazing day at the Art Asylum, and hope to be back very soon! Highly recommended! :)

Had a sold out studio day here and it was brilliant! A quirky studio with a lot of character, brilliant selection of corsets too! :) I loved letting my imagination run wild! And it's refreshing to look through the window and see the sea too- nothing beats a good sea breeze!

I will definitely be returning:)

Thanks for having me Steve!

As usual, Steve was there ahead of time, heaters on, kettle boiling - what a star! This is a gret little studio: white infinity cove, bare floorbpards, old wood panelling, peeling brick walls, bed, bedroom furniture, props/outfits - you name it, its got it! Even got a nice industrial steel staircase outside (though it was too cold on the day to use that!)

Nice selection of lights and modifiers (softboxes, snoots, gels, barn doors, beauty dish, ring light).

Highly recommended and already have 2 more shoots planned there :)

Had my first shoot at this fantastic studio in Weymouth, the building had lots of character with brick walls and roof beams and plenty of themes to shoot.

The owner was very friendly and welcomed us with plenty of cups of tea, I felt very comfortable as soon as I arrived.

The owner helped to set the lighting up to what I wanted and was happy to make suggestions.

A very relaxed, friendly and spacious studio.

Definitely Recommend

Had my first shoot at his Weymouth studio when I first walked in I instantly felt comfortable the environment was bubbly and chatty.

During breaks he made me lovely cups of tea just how I like it ...although I didn’t finish them lol but thank you for a great session at your studio I can’t wait to arrange a shoot sometime x

My first time at the Asylum and what a cool quirky place to shoot. Loads of space to work with and plenty of equipment, lighting and props.

The rustic look of the bedroom set really got me the pictures I was craving for.

Great place to shoot. The host is super helpful and very welcoming.I will definitely be returning soon. Recommend.
