ABOUT US
Who is behind strangetown studio?:
I'm a full time professional photographer (specialising in "people") and occasional photography tutor with over 35 years' experience in the industry. I have just begun a new series of photography workshops and training events through "Strangetown Shoots" and have previously taught at Solihull College and Stratford-upon-Avon College. I have a First Class BA(Hons) in Photography and an MA in Fine Art.
Although I've had various studios in Birmingham, I've loved the Telsen building since I started rehearsing here with my band (called, spookily, Telsen) in 2015 and thanks to my photographer friend, who is also based in the building, I was occasionally able to use the many wonderful corridors and stairwells for shoots and workshops. So when I decided to move my business, Telsen seemed like the obvious choice.
And why "strangetown"? From the song "Strange Town" by The Jam.
