I worked on a shoot here last night as a makeup artist.

Dave and Mal were delightful and gave me a tour of the place. I was asked to do makeup and they had set up a little station for me. There is also a large bathroom with shower so models can get changed and shower if it’s a messy shoot! They have some lovely backdrops and outdoor spots to shoot. It is clear that they know what they are doing and have big plans for the future. Keep an eye on this space!

I was booked by the very wonderful host that is, David Haines, to model at his lighting workshop evening. What another fantastic evening! There’s always a familiar face but also new photographers too which I like. The evening flows really well and Dave always makes sure the photographers have equal time to shoot so everyone is happy.

Thank you for booking me and for always making me feel so welcome.

I have shot at this club a few times now and find the ever changing membership absolutely fantastic to work with. There are lots of varying styles and this just makes the evening more special. If you get the chance to go, then give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Thank you for booking me.

I’ve been to the Albert and Victoria a few times now and I feel right at home! Absolutely love going and Dave is just so lovely. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend if you haven’t been there as a model or photographer. then you do so because you will not leave disappointed. Everyone has a ball, you would too!

I recently had an evening group shoot then a full day modelling at Club Albert and Victoria.

Such a lovely group of people! I was extremely well looked after, always well fed and watered, and made sure I had breaks when needed. Dave has such a great setup, with the studio space and plenty of other exciting areas in development. Can't wait to see where this venue goes, it's got so much potential!

I was given a fantastic room in the hotel at a crazy reduced rate, plus breakfast included and lunch made for me. My whole stay was stress free and I was made to feel very welcome by all, which made each shoot very enjoyable and successful.

I would gladly recommend Club Albert and Victoria to any local and visiting models, plus photographers! Really enjoyed my stay and would happily return.

Thank you again :)

Another fantastic shoot I got to attend a group shoot at the studio. As per always very warm welcome and looked after very well. Beautiful studio, with the addition of new important things ( it has an aircon!!!!!! 🤩🤩) and other props and lighting, to create a true unique and creative imagery. This studio is truly really great to get your imagination flowing and get creative. Loads of natural light and windows to play with also !!!

Highly recommend to anyone !!!!

It was a pleasure to attend the group shoot here in Southport. I was well looked after throughout the day, and evening, and the photographers were a friendly bunch, all came with ideas of their own to make the sets unique. Well organised, and it's amazing what you can do with the space.

Hope to attend again soon

Attended one of the group shoots that was arranged at the club as I was actually off work so able to go.

Lovely bunch of people and everyone works well together supporting each other. Good set of equipment available to use from lights to props. Lots of ideas thrown around to get creative and a nice space to work in. Hope to be able to attend again in the future.

My first experience at club Albert and Victoria with Dave could not have been a better one from the moment comms started - I was provided a gorgeous room amazingly reduced, ever so accommodating and such a beautiful place to stay - on the beach/pier front - amazing studio space that Dave is only adding too!

Can’t recommend enough works can’t explain, can’t wait to continue on more business ventures together!

I have been invited to work a couple of times now at this lovely studio in Southport. It has been really great every time, it has lots of natural light coming through, it’s nice and cosy but has lots of room to play with, and get stunning pictures.

I returned to the Albert and Victoria studios for a shoot with Dave yesterday, where we covered a different range of sets.

The studio is a great location, and with great facilities (it was very warm yesterday due to the weather, but I wasn't complaining!).

I would recommend any model or photographer, new or experienced, to shoot here.

Many thanks

Lucky enough to be back at the Club Albert & Victoria for other 3and half fantastic days!

As the first time, I absolutely loved it! Everything run out smoothly, Dave and Mal took good care of the organization during my staying. We had plenty of 1to1 shoots and evening group shoots. Worked with lovely creative photographers and alongside the wonderful model Charlie for a duo set. Enjoyed it all from the start until the end. Professionalism, care, creativity and lots of fun!

Very much Recommended and already I can’t wait to be back!! Thank you for having me! Hasta luego, V
