I have been attending Darwen studio for some time now for the Club group shoots. This time I finally got round to booking multiple first 1-2-1 shoot at the studio. I had a great shoot and as always Dave was on hand to help me achieve what I wanted. The studio has a great space and equipment and Dave is very helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend booking with Darwen studio whether you are a newbie or not. You won't be disappointed.

Today I did a evening studio shoot at darwen studios as well as a 2-1 in the afternoon. This is a great studio with lots of character in a interesting location . There was lots of variety for back drops and lots of brews and biscuits provided ahah which is always a plus ! They were very accommodating, with heaters making sure models stay warm and are comfortable aswell as a private bathroom in the studio for model use only which is very handy :) I will definitely be back !

Well what can i say. All the hard work that Dave, Malc and the background crew, have put in to make, A&V Darwen Studio, is beginning to take shape nicely. I cannot wait until both Darwen and Southport studios are fully completed. Also, i have to thank Malcolm, for all of his hard work in sourcing the fantastic models we get each week. Keep up the good work guys

I was very happy to have a group shoot in Darwen studio organized by Mal. We agreed a day comfortable for me and in the day of shoot Mal helped me to find the location and bring my heavy bag. There is a parking space near the studio, so you can not to worry about your car🤩 It s located in the same building with antique shop, so the atmosphere there is amazing! Background is an edgy brick wall, that provides really cool photos 🔥 Atmosphere in studio is warm and friendly. There is hot drinks, a lot of places to relax while waiting, all photographers are very professional and fun! In studio there is great temperature thanks to the couple of heaters.

All shoot was fast easy and full of fun. It s such a great to work with so much of creative photografers with a lot of different cool ideas! I was free to choose my own outfits and pose as i want. THANK YOU for a great evening, and I can't wait to work with you again😍🥰

Many thanks!

Well done to all and keep up the good work 👍

Despite the club being in the middle of a refurbishment, Dave worked tirelessly in the background as always. I’m greeted with smiles and always offered my fave decaf coffee. The club is like a second home to me, the group that comes are like extended family, it’s just a lovely atmosphere…always! And Dave, well I have thee highest respect and admiration for him. He’s a gentleman with a huge heart, he really would do anything for anyone. I can’t recommend the Club and Dave enough to any model or photographer.

Thanks again for another wonderful evening. ❤️

I was invited for my first visit to Club Albert and Victoria. All communications were excellent and we soon had it all organised.

The studio is comfortable, warm and well equipped with good facilities and refreshments.

Everything was well organised and a lovely group of individuals attended, I thoroughly enjoyed the night and will happily come back :)

Been thinking about visiting this studio for some time so myself and another photographer booked the studio and a model. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how good the studio is so much so we both became members. A great studio lots of lights and The owner is a really nice person on hand for tea/coffee and help.

I was very lucky to work with Dave and other photographers in his amazing studio in Southport! It s really great place with own parking space, nice changing room, great techniques and amazing atmosphere! To work with Dave is absolute pleasure! He doesn't rush at all, made me feel very comfortable and warn🤗 He was making me tea allllll the time along 6 hours shoot and fed me with very delicious special chips! Usually i don't eat it but this chips was very good🙈

Also i was working in a group shoot with a lot of really talented photographers! All they was so nice it was really fun to work with them! I was very happy to work with Dave in his amazing studio and hope to come back soon!🤩🥰

First time 1-2-1 shoot with the awesome AshleyAshton222, we had met previously at a group shoot earlier in the year but I had wanted an extended shoot. David H studio owner was pleased to arrange and even though the weather was not good. The shoot went very well David provided technical support and introduced supplementary lighting when needed and suggested were it could be reduced to best effect.

I have still to work through the pictures I did not give David enough precomms but he accepted the challenge and I think came up with a few aces which we can develop for Ashley's next visit.

Club Victoria and Albert is a studio I would heartily recommend for its model list and for 1-2-1 or/ group shoots. David is looking to enable photographers/models to develop creativity so I would encourage all to book the facilities here. Thanks again for your support .

Can not wait to go back for another amazing night here. 🙂 Thank you so much

Thanks for yet another brilliant group shoot! As always an absolute fantastic and fun evening over at club Albert and Victoria. The time flies, the photographers are such a laugh and the studio is really cosy and homely. Dave always has everything organised and ready, I’m well fed, watered and looked after by Dave. Everyone seems to have a brilliant evening! I highly recommend Dave and his group shoots to any model or photographer.

Thanks for having me, I can’t wait to return! 😁

Another fantastic enjoyable shoot at Club Albert and Victoria. Always have a great shoot here with a lovely group of people, Dave ensures models are comfortable throughout and always get some fab images x

I have been attending the club for a few months now and it has been a fantastic evening everytime. Dave always goes above and beyond to provide a chilled and friendly environment. The models that have been booked to shoot at the group sessions have all been fantastic so if you are a new photographer like myself I highly recommend Club Albert and Victoria as the place to go. Everyone I have met there has been so helpful and my own skills have improved tremendously in the short time I have been there, its quickly becoming my second home.
