Hey, I'm Priti!
I'm a professional photographer based in Manchester, with over 10 years of experience photographing musicians, artists, events and people.
My work has appeared in Kerrang! and NME, and I've worked with organisations including the British Museum, Manchester Museum and Manchester International Festival.
Photography has taken me from intimate music venues to major events, and I love sharing the techniques I've picked up along the way.
I also deliver photography workshops for individuals, groups and businesses, helping people feel more confident behind the camera - including the one they carry in their pocket every day.
My approach is relaxed, friendly and practical. You don't need expensive kit or any previous experience. I'll help you understand how to get more out of your smartphone camera, experiment with different techniques and develop your own creative eye.
Whether you're taking photos for fun, capturing your travels, improving your social media content or simply curious about photography, I'd love to help you get more creative.
Come and explore Manchester with me!
