Chris Lamble

Experience:I have a large studio in Rossendale Lancashire. I have just moved into a large studio from smaller premises. I work with my assistant Michelle who occasionally steps behind the camera herself as well as being the subject of some of my shoots. I am mainly engaged in portrait work but have an interest in expanding my portfolio. I am interested in all genre of photography but have a particular interest in tattoos and artistic figure nude work. I have recently been engaged in a number of maternity shoots which I have undertaken with a view to expanding my portfolio. I also have a number of ongoing long term projects. I have been commissioned to do a number of projects for charities and the NHS.

I am a full time area manager for a major UK Charity supporting people with Learning Disabilities and mental health needs and as a consequence only open the studio by appointment evenings and weekends. The studio works with a number of small charities offering photographic support and portraits to help raise funds. 

The studio also works with a number of local bands, shooting material for websites, promotional material etc.

Due to my full time employment working with vulnerable adults, I always have a current Enhanced CRB check. 

Comments: Although the majority of my work is focussed around portraiture, I also work with individuals on my own projects and am currently engaged in a long term project which is loosely based around clowns. it's aim is to take clowns out of their normal context. 

I work with dancers and also have links with a vintage clothing retailer and do some work with him to promote his business while adding to my portfolio. 

I am interested in shooting more artistic figure nudes and am looking for models to assist me in this. 

I have recently been offering time for prints in order to shoot maternity and have now shot a number of these types of shoots. 

I have been shooting a number of boudoir projects in my studio. 

I have recently been attending a local vintage fair where I collaborate with a vintage hair and makeup artist and shoot onsite using portable lighting equipment and event printer.

I would like to undertake alt shoots with heavily tattooed female models as I wish to develop an idea for another long term project.

I am also interested in pin up style shoots.
