We organise training workshops and portfolio building days, using unique locations and sourcing the very best models and performers to create a variety of photographic opportunities in a friendly atmosphere that is unrivalled in its marketplace. Our events are held regularly throughout the year and sell out incredibly fast! If you are keen to improve your Portrait Photography, challenge yourself in unique locations and create award and competition winning images, then do get in touch.

Portrait Masterclasses 

These are more instructional workshops held at our Manchester studio working with professional models. They are taught by our award winning professional photographers. The Portrait Masterclass covers an introduction to off camera flash and studio lights, the use of different modifiers, working with models, posing tips and tricks, post processing information. Plus you get chance to put into practice what you have learnt with a female model on 3 sets in the studio and a male model doing 3 sets on location. These workshops really are invaluable to anyone starting out in Portraiture or keen to progress their work.

We also run Creative Portrait Classes throughout the year which consist of Fine Art, Noir and Colour. These are designed to take your portraiture to the next level with advanced lighting techniques, posing guidance, sets, props and the best models in the industry. 

Portfolio Builders on location

Using the most unique locations in the North West of England to give you something completely different for your portfolio. We have used historic lighthouses, old mills, a nuclear bunker, Tudor houses, forests, disused churches, historic cinemas, forges, a WildWest frontier town, vintage spitfire hangar to name but a few. Professional models at the top of their game make your job as a photographer easier. We also use character models, performers and reenactors to give you something completely different. We have had contemporary dancers, musicians, burlesque performers, zombies. Some events are themed, others are a 'mixed bag' so there will always be something on the events programme to tickle your fancy. Themed events include Vikings, Vintage, Historical Costumes, Hollywood and Military. Lighting is provided on all sets and help is always on hand so whether you are a seasoned pro or fairly new to off camera flash and studio lights, you will still be able to achieve great results. There is also a very popular facebook community for help and resource

You can find our website online which has all the information you need. Alternatively we are on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.

I have worked all over the world, and it has to be said that this team is among the absolute best when it comes to putting on incredible photographic events.

Session Days are a fantastic way to build up your portfolio or try something a little different as a photographer. The thought and planning that goes into the variety of models and venues that they provide really is on another level, and all leads to a productive and smooth experience on the day.
