Professional Portrait & Art Photography Services in Carlisle
Alt Photography was founded by an artist with a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. Born into an academic family, my artistic journey began with pencil and evolved through watercolour, oil painting, and digital design before discovering photography during studies at Liverpool Art College. With decades of experience in hand-processing film and mastering full-frame digital techniques, I specialise in creating detailed portraits and historical artwork.Lockdown reignited my love for traditional drawing, resulting in intricate pencil studies of Carlisle's heritage. Every piece, whether photographic or hand-drawn, reflects a commitment to quality, with signed prints available for purchase. My studio in Carlisle provides a comfortable space for portrait sessions, blending technical precision with artistic vision to deliver timeless results.
