Manchester is a bustling and energetic city, known for its vibrant nightlife and music scene, making it an inspiring location for fashion photography. The diverse and youthful population, coupled with a mix of traditional and modern architecture, offers a rich variety of backdrops. Notable spots like the Northern Quarter, with its ever-changing street art, and modern areas like Spinningfields, provide unique settings for shoots.
We often shoot in the Northern Quarter and modern areas around Spinningfields, utilising green parks with high-rise buildings for a city living vibe. The city’s urban and natural settings allow us to tailor each shoot to fit the brand’s target demographic perfectly.
Our studio in Manchester is conveniently located, with plenty of accommodating cafes and bars nearby. The local residents are used to seeing shoots and are welcoming and friendly, making logistics smoother. One memorable shoot was for Harkel, where we ended up capturing some great shots inside a record store, unplanned but so worth it!
The local fashion scene in Manchester is thriving, with new creative fashion manufacturers constantly emerging. Despite Manchester’s unpredictable weather, we adapt to any situation, ensuring great results no matter the conditions. Depending on the target customer, we leverage Manchester’s cultural and historical backdrop, offering versatile settings that can resemble other major cities like London or New York.
