A session of portraiture in a Victorian bath house in a small group

Join us in the early summer of 2025 at the iconic Manchester Victoria baths, a huge old Victorian Bath house! Think gleaming Victorian tiles and grandeur and a huge space with great natural light with many different shooting locations available. We have hired exclusively the entire venue for your photographic pleasure and we will be creating eye catching portraiture against the unique and photogenic backdrops that this venue has to offer! You will truly be spoilt for choice with 2 huge empty swimming pools including Victorian style changing rooms, Victorian staircases, lobby and rustic old living quarters. Victorian buildings are usually fantastic because they built them to look amazing, and they created lots of natural light with big windows and skylights which essentially means for us photographers they created some truly unique studio locations! Have a look at the Victorian baths website to see the space for yourselves: https://victoriabaths.org.uk/about/gallery/spaces/

For this shoot we will have 3 beautiful female models available to capture in a variety of outfits and each session is limited to a small group of 12 photographers and you will be split into 3 groups of 4 photographers, each spending an hour with one of our models in different locations around the bath house. We will have use of the whole venue with no public there so just us on site.

You will also have LeadingLines staff on hand to hold reflectors and provide LED lighting. (Please note the baths are empty of water so models will not be posing in water).

Our models for the day will be confirmed soon but expect some top models in the indusrty.

One of our confirmed models is Fay:

The aim of the day is to give you a wonderful photography experience with the chance to capture some really unique portraits in this unusual venue in a small and intimate group.

We will have 2 photo sessions running on this day, this one from 14:15-17:30 and the other from 10:00-13:15. You are of course welcome to book both and join for the full day.

There is free on site parking and toilets.

Spaces are limited so we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
