Not so long ago, having a portrait made meant visiting a local photography studio. There was a good camera, a proper lens, considered lighting, a backdrop, and an experienced photographer who knew how to use them. The process was deliberate. The result was a portrait made to last, framed and displayed, becoming part of a family’s shared history.
With the rise of smartphones, the high street photography studio has almost disappeared. And where it does exist, it can feel inaccessible, out of reach and expensive.
The People’s Portrait Studio exists to return portraiture to everyday life.
