Why Art Asylum Reloaded is More Than Just a Studio

When most photographers think of studio hire, they picture four walls and controlled lighting. But what if your studio could be the gateway to some of the UK's most stunning coastal photography locations?

Located in the heart of Weymouth, Art Asylum Reloaded offers something truly special – a professional studio space that doubles as your perfect base camp for breathtaking seafront and harbour shoots.

The Best of Both Worlds

Start Professional, Go Natural

Begin your session in our fully equipped studio spaces:

• Main Studio: 30' x 18' with white infinity wall for those crisp, professional shots
• Natural Light Room: 15' x 18' bedroom setup with exposed brick and wooden paneling for intimate, textured portraits

Get your model comfortable, nail those perfect studio shots, then step outside into a photographer's paradise.

Minutes to Magic

From our door at 15 Crescent Street, you're literally minutes away from:

• Weymouth Harbour: Historic charm with working boats, weathered textures, and authentic maritime character
• The Seafront: Endless golden sands, dramatic pier structures, and that perfect golden hour light
