There were 5 staff, 1 second hand Hasselblad camera, a 19th century carousel projector prone to showing upside down images and a slightly cheesy TV commercial that would occasionally appear in the middle of Tricia on Channel 4.



11 years, 220,000 customers and 10 million photographs later, we now offer the very best in luxury & unique photo shoot experiences, backed up by a wonderfully friendly team of more than 450 staff including more than 100 based in our regional centres.
