Loft photo studios for rent by the hour in Manchester

Manchester was a major staging ground for the Industrial Revolution. The city's architecture reflects this, with loads of former factories that were in need of repurposing over time. Fortunately, the arts have taken off, especially in recent years, giving these old buildings a new lease on life. Factory loft spaces have been turned into photo studios for professionals to work with models and amateurs to hone their craft. These spaces are booked by the hour, making them far more flexible than trying to reserve a retail space or other monthly leased venue. Many lofts retain the original industrial character of the space, complete with exposed bricks and ceiling beams. Lifestyle, wedding, and portrait photography are best for this look!

The conditions are totally private; within a photo studio sounds can't be heard from without. Professional boudoir photographers will have outfit changes, makeup stations, bathrooms, mirrors, and other essentials within the studio. Some studios are large enough for computer workstations as well, where you can go over images and select prints from the session.
