I have previously worked with the owner of the studio before, however at a new studio so this is my first time being at their new studio in Warrington.

A beautifully set up space which provides a private area for models to get dressed in and beautiful makeup areas with lighting and full length mirrors !!

Also a wonderful sitting area to discuss ideas with a a modern fire place supplied with a brew from the kitchenette area!! Everything about the studio is professional and provides a sense of safety as well as comforbality!! The owner is just as equally amazing as the studio if not more, you can truly see the effort put in to provide a wonderful space for the models!! Thank you for having me at your new studio, it’s absolutely amazing 🫶 100% recommend

I recently worked at the Studio with owner Mal 'Cheeky Monkey'for the first time.

The location is great and building is well kept.

Inside the studio itself I was impressed by just how organised, clean and considered it is.

I greatly appreciated having a private makeup and dressing area with great lighting !

The photography space had great lighting and was spacious enought to work comfortably in !

I would enthusiastic recommend the space to anyone and hope to return there soon !

Thank you so much for having me . Tal x

This was my second time at the studio shooting with Mal. The studio is located not far from the train station (walking distance) which is very convenient with a coffee shop downstairs.

It’s warm and the changing room is big. I highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you!

I had my first visit to The Monkey Sanctuary whilst travelling down south

The Studio is a good size, well kitted out with Lighting, props ans backdrops. There is a good sized changing space with mirrors available for you to retouch makeup

The studio owner was relaxed, professional and easy to get along with

I'd definitely shoot here again and recommend anyone down Lancashire way to check this studio out

Til next time

I had another creative and nice shoot at the Monkey Sanctuary Studio in Warrington.

The studio is well-equipped with loads of props, stuff and decoration to use! It always is clean and tidy and also located in an easy access area with free carpark spots in front of the building in Warrington.

I'm looking forward to having more shoots there.

Highly recommended.

Many thanks

Another creative shoot in this amazing studio owned by such a wonderful person, Mаl. As always, the shoot was top-notch. We captured so many great photos, taking full advantage of this incredible location. I love how warm, comfortable, and pleasant it is to be in this beautiful place. I have access to a fantastic dressing room with large mirrors and perfect lighting to create an amazing makeup look. There’s also a small kitchen and a cozy corner with a little fireplace, making it feel even more like home.

And of course, Mаl always sets up the lighting perfectly, using lots of great equipment. This place is truly incredible for photoshoots. There’s also parking near the studio, making it easy to park your car. I highly recommend this studio if you want a great experience, with different backgrounds, perfect lighting, and everything designed for the model to feel comfortable.

Thank you for this “monkey sanctuary,” where it’s always cozy and joyful!

Mal is a true professional and a real artist, it was very easy and fun to work with him in The Monkey Sanctuary. The studio itself is nice, fitted to a high standard with even a changing/make-up area for the models.

It is clear Mal knows how to work with people, how to make them feel at ease and most importantly how to communicate his ideas and make them come true. A brilliant photographer, a master in his craft, I can only recommend him.

I shoot at the studio The Monkey Sanctuary in Warrington for the first time.

It was a nice studio well organised and comfortable. It has a large living area and a double makeup station with enough room to get ready.

The studio was warm enough which is not always the case in studios.

I really loved shooting there and I would happily come back to this studio. Thank you for having me there! I highly recommend it to anyone.

Another great shoot with Mal at his studio (The Monkey Sanctury) in Warrington.

It was my pleasure to help him as a MUA and stylist with The Great Wave of Kanagawa project.

The studio is well equipped, clean, tidy with a free carpark outside the building.

I highly recommend this studio to any models or photographers to hire or work with it.

Many thanks

It was absolutely amazing shooting in this studio. It's very spacious, got lots of backdrops and lights. I especially like the makeup and changing area. The curtain works really well for changing. The sofa and chairs in the resting area are also enough for a whole team. 100% recommend it!

Had a wonderful time as always!

Hot drinks are always offered and the place is nice and tidy and clean as well as cosy and warm.

Mal will go out of his way for you if you should want or need anything.

The studio has plenty of shooting opportunities to offer as well as lighting and a desk for make up, changing area etc

Shot at the Monkey Sanctuary Studio for the first time yesterday, greeted with smiles and help carrying my bags, coffee on tap! Easy to find and ample parking. This is a great space to work in…nice choice of different backgrounds and heated changing room…what more could a girl want! 😊 Would love to work there again without hesitation…lots there to keep a chaperone entertained with it being above an auctioneers and plenty of amenities around for food and drink. Would highly recommend 💯 to any models/photographers! X

Fab set up for a studio that Mal has created for The Monkey Sanctuary.

Mal provided hot drinks and snacks, an area to privately get ready which was nice and warm by a heater.

Great use of different lighting and plenty of props to use.

We have come up with some future ideas which I'm looking forward to try out.

I really enjoyed my first shoot with Mal at The Monkey Sanctuary, he is extremely polite, friendly, professional and I felt comfortable throughout the whole shoot.

Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't yet been hereand worked with Mal.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Mal in his fantastic new studio, the Monkey Sanctuary, located in Darwen. This cozy studio is conveniently close to the train station and offers comfortable parking. It's situated in an old factory near an antique shop filled with unique and interesting items, making it a captivating place to visit.

Mal goes above and beyond to create the perfect atmosphere for the shoot. He ensures the studio is warm, offers tea and snacks, and takes excellent care of the model. The studio boasts two great backgrounds and professional lighting, making it an ideal place for creative work.

Working with Mal is an absolute pleasure. He is incredibly relaxed, kind, and engaging to chat with. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he's also a warm friend who provides unwavering support.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Monkey Sanctuary studio and working with Mal. You're guaranteed to have an amazing and productive time.

The Monkey Sanctuary is the natural habitat of the photographer knows as Cheeky Monkey. The lovely Malcom uses this space for his own wonderfully creative photographic projects. I have been at this cozy studio several times now and it's been such a pleasure everytime.

Mal always makes sure that every model is warm, comfortable and has hot beverages going and even chocolate. The studio has a lovely changing area, great lights which Mal really knows how to use and various backdrops.

What makes this space special is the creative magic created by Malcom on the shoots with always beautiful results.

Can't wait to be back soon and highly recomended by me :)

I loved the monkey sanctuary! Great space and well thought for our set up. I was very well looked after, kept warm and hydrated and Mal was so kind and always offering me snacks ect to make sure I was kept feeling at home. I loved working with Mal here and would absolutely be happy to return to the monkey sanctuary to throw more shapes. Highly recommend to models of all status both new and pro!

Thankyou so much for a fabulous shoot and well done to the monkey sanctuary for providing a great place for models to work from!

Best wishes
