Allen Markey, born and bred Manchester 1956.

At the age of 7 Allen, a budding young photographer undertook his first photographic assignment - the junior school Nativity play (it was this or the part of a Sheep!).

After three years studying at Blackpool Photography College, a big step up from his first shots of baby Jesus, Allen went on to Mail Order, Commercial, Advertising, Public Relations and Travel photography.

Allen is creative, imaginative and resourceful; his inspirations have been developed by his broad experience working with blue chip companies and first class agencies throughout the world.

Allen offers exceptional quality film media and digital photography, accompanied, where necessary, by his creative IT skills.

Allen's philosophy is 'communication'- key to understanding how the client sees the end result and achieving the desired outcome. Allen's vast experience undoubtedly enhances the final effect. and he's never looked back since turning down the part of the Sheep!
