Aramas Law Lifestyle & Branding Shoot Manchester

Manchester Law Firm Branding shoot for Vogue Turkey

Environmental & Lifestyle portrait shoot for UK and UAE Family Law Firm Aramas

Samara from Aramas Law in Manchester has become somewhat or a regular client over the last two years. I make the trip up there 2-3 times a year so Samara can update her headshots, get new team members photographed and get some lifestyle/branding shots as well.

This particular shoot in October 2024 was a particularly interesting one, as Samara was being featured in Vogue Magazine Turkey. 

We put together a mood board for some shot ideas, and we would be using her office space in Manchester City. I also had the idea of using a side street as it looked interesting and the light was good. 

Overall we shot just over 200 images, and I edited 99. Here are a few of my favourites. 

And here is the final article, and a hi res version of the shot used in it.

Also on the day we updated Samara’s headshots, all in a 1.5hr shoot.

One of my favourite jobs of the year is ArtReach’s Journeys International Festival. 

Journeys Festival International brings together artists and communities to explore big ideas and create experiences that will excite and entertain. It was first delivered in Leicester in 2013 and since then has hosted regular editions in Manchester and Portsmouth too. With this festival, we create a platform for artists from sanctuary seeking backgrounds, a showcase to share artistic talent, community cultural exchanges and incredible live events.

I’ve been photographing this event since 2021, and every one has been amazing. Such diverse performers and some absolutely moving themes. 

In October 2024 the festival returned to Leicester, so armed with my camera and a few lenses I took to the streets for a weekend of event capture. 

Over the 2 days I took 2,847 images and covered 48,000 steps! 

Here are a couple of images from the weekend.

On a side note, two of my images were featured in ‘Church Times’.

A few days after this was published I was contacted by an editor for the Daily Telegraph. They wanted to purchase a licence to one of the images! The licence was 12 months online and 1 print use in the UK.

So I’m officially a published photographer!
