On each set we will be designing a lighting setup to suit the theme. Lights will either be continuous lights or studio/strobe lighting with triggers and modifiers for your use. If you require assistance using the lights provided then we will be on hand to provide expertise.

You are also welcome to bring along your own lighting rigs if you are more comfortable using them but you must keep them with you at all times and observe COVID compliant usage restrictions.

Ford Green Hall was built in 1624 for Hugh Ford and is a fine example of a timber-framed farm house. The Ford family lived at the Hall for nearly 200 years and it is now an award-winning museum, offering visitors a fascinating insight into life in the 17th century. The rooms are furnished with an outstanding collection of textiles, ceramics and furniture.

The whole of the museum’s collection is “Designated Outstanding” by the Arts Council England, recognising it as of world-class importance.

Session Days has arranged for exclusive access to the interior of the museum and its many rooms which are the perfect setting for our models on the day. Each set has been carefully planned to give you the opportunity to take and make some great photographs.

Pip the Gentleman

Pip has been one of our featured models for some time now. With his distinctive beard, we immediately wanted him to feature for us as Henry VIII in the dining room at Ford Green Hall. Pip is an experienced and well-known working model with excellent pose style and character. We are delighted to be able to host him on the day.

Cat Mida Lee

Cat last appeared for us as our Anne Boleyn character at Gawsworth Hall in March 2019.

With superb costuming and capable of conveying deep emotion in her pose style, we just had to ask her to appear for us again at Ford Green Hall.
