WHAT HAPPENED – RELIVE OUR RECENT EVENTS

The Victorian Circus came to Session Days on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th December courtesy of Dean Turner and Lynda Easton. The Greatest Showman, Lion Tamer, Escapologist and Fortune Teller appeared on sets designed for photographers to take and make great images. Take a look at some of the highlights of the weekend.

We held a Vintage Travel Session Day at Heaton Park Tramway Museum in Manchester on Saturday 16th September. Six professional models on set and an additional 4 bit part players for story telling portraiture. It was a great day and lots of fun.

Walton Hall and Gardens was the location for our Session Day on Saturday 8th July. We had a superb Tango couple headlining as well as several other professional models. Take a look at our behind the scenes footage.

Our Wild West Session Day on Saturday 10th June was a great deal of fun. Six professional models and numerous townsfolk made this a day to remember with lots of laughter and superb backdrops in the town.

We kicked off our location events program for 2023 with a fantastic Sirens Session Day at 1881 Provenance Place in Blackpool on Saturday 25th March 2023. Five of the UK’s best female models in a stylish house, an indoor swimming pool and a Ferrari in the drive.

SESSION DAYS

Our Session Days Events are very popular and sell out quickly. Our aim is to put on a show and give attending customers the opportunity to get shots of each model/performer using natural light or off camera flash. Our planning process starts many months in advance : scouting for suitable locations, agreeing dates, designing the set list and choosing models and performers that suit the theme of the event. 

We thrive on the buzz of each event day…the build up to it, the day itself and the frenzy of social media activity that follows. Session Day Events are a great networking opportunity and a chance to make new contacts in this profession/hobby that we all love..

THE CREATIVE PORTRAITURE SERIES.

Portrait Masterclass
Creative Fine Art Portraiture
Creative Noir Portraiture
Creative Light Portraiture

I have attended two of Graham and Emma’s Session Days and I have to say they are amazing. I have been on a few photography days over the years and none of them compare to this. The organisation is great, they look after you from start to finish, help you with set ups and make sure you get good images. Emma is very skilled at portraiture and lighting and Graham, being a professional model himself, brings flair and creativity into the mix. Thank you to both of you for giving me tips and advice on my photography journey.
