Urbex location and dark fantasy came together in this post halloween event. Set in a former Belgian Ambassador’s residence just off the curry mile in Manchester, and beset with graffiti walls, grand staircase, large rooms and visible signs of decay, we had six models to give the place a dark and spooky edge.

Our lineup included the fabulous Talli Lyndsay making a second appearance for us, Jack Cutler returning as the kilted Mad Hatter, Warhammer, Maureen Davenport, the fabulous Annabelle Stanyer, and a Skeleton Prince appearing for the very first time.

. 

Hosting 84 photographers over a weekend and featuring eight models on seven sets, this session day was our biggest of the year and has already achieved some considerable acclaim. With Jack Cutler as Charlie Chaplin, Retro Rob, Natasha Bella, Lydia Francis, Damian Senior, Eva Serration and Katie Nicholas, it was action packed, fun filled and full on.

. 

Put together thirty-six photographers, six models and a location awash with character and you get a Session Days event to savour and remember for a long time. 

We had a Victorian worker, ragged Victorian, Steam Punk, Alt, Fashion and Peaky models performing for the photographers all day.  It was alot of fun.

. 

A Black Widow, Milkmaid, Cowboy, Equestrian and a Hillbilly made their way to a farm in Ashton-Under-Lyne for our Day at the Stables Session Day Event. Put them together with stables, hay cart, milkchurns, horses, a rooster and chickens, a vintage harness room and hearse and coffin and you have a fun day ahead.

Thirty photographers from all over the country attended the event. Read all about it on our blog page

We ventured over into Yorkshire for the first time to host a session days event at Abbeydale Picture House in Sheffield in late June. With a distinctly hollywood theme, this venue had a host of superb backdrops.

This former cinema originally opened in the 1920’s and is in the process of ongoing restoration. Session Days had exclusive use of the building for this event which is styled with a touch of Hollywood. Our models included Vintage Dapper Chap, Starla Bright, Diablo Rose, Penny Lick and John Celestus.

Our first announcement of this event was so popular that we put on a second date two weeks later which is also now sold out.

Once again hosted at Belle Prive Studios in Manchester, our two two iconic movie characters will be appearing in studio and around the mill space. 

Our first Joker and Scissorhands event takes place at AWOL Studios on Saturday 1st June. Two iconic movie characters depicting good and evil are on the same bill with opportunities to photograph each character in studio and out on location around the mill space.

This event was so popular when first announced that it is being repeated a second time in a further two weeks.

It features G Brodie as the Joker and Jack Cutler as Edward Scissorhands.

In May we return to Bidston Lighthouse on the Wirral, Merseyside, for a Session Day Event that uses the lighthouse, grounds and nearby parkland escarpment for its set layouts..

This venue features the furthermost inland  lighthouse in the world and a host of models with a unique look.

Tudor rose garden, private lake, manicured lawns, historic backdrops…..what is not to love about this location?

Gawsworth Hall is situated between Macclesfield and Congleton and we have exclusive access to the grounds to host this event. With themed and styled models, this session day is sure to provide you with the perfect opportunity to use natural light to nail the shots that will competition winners and portfolio content.

Our first Session Day Event of 2019 takes place early in the New Year, and will give you the opportunity to try out those new lenses or cameras or other photographic equipment you received for Christmas.

Hack Green Nuclear Bunker in Nantwich, Cheshire, is a decommissioned post war/cold war underground complex housing communications equipment throughout the ages. With seven models on set, from 007 to Russian General, this is an ideal opportunity to start off your photographic year.
