Set in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Manchester's coolest centre for fashion, art and style. We are close to Piccadilly and Victoria stations, and our studio is approximately a 6-7 minute walk.What age ranges does Fusion Studios cater for?
Absolutely all ages, but under 18 year olds MUST be accompanied by a parent. Our photographers have experience of dealing with all age groups and will make you feel comfortable whatever your age.Is this just for young girls who want to be models?
No not at all. All our clients are just normal everyday people much like yourself who have always wanted to look and feel as good as they can through professional photography. We have had clients from as young as 9 weeks to as mature as 88 years old!How long will my appointment last?
Please allow for between 4-5 hours. In most cases it will be less than this however delays can often occur.I normally don’t like having my picture taken, what can I do about this?
Don't worry about feeling a little nervous about having your photograph taken. You will soon relax once you are in the studio. Our professional team know how to get the best out of you, so we ask you to put your trust in our professional hands. Just relax and enjoy it and you will be amazed at the amazing results.I'd love to have my pictures taken but I don’t like my flabby stomach.
You are not alone there are so many people out there who feel exactly the same. All photos are retouched as soon as you come off set and during viewing. More specific changes to the image - such as removing a tattoo or slimming a tummy – can also be done by our in-house professionals if required. Supermodels and celebrities are regularly retouched in photographs and we provide exactly the same service to give you that perfect look.Will you be cutting my hair?
No, we do not cut or colour hair.Can I bring my boyfriend / girlfriend?
Yes absolutely. Your appointment is for you and a guest so if you choose to bring them as your guest they will be able to enjoy the experience with you. Please note we can only cater to groups of two adults maximum.Are you an intimate sized studio?
We’re a small team, united by our love of fashion and photography. Our bijou, boutique studio is dedicated to capturing beautiful images for everyone, every single time. And you? You’re our honoured guest. No rushing, no pushing. It’s all about respect, taking our time and fusing our creative talents with your unique, gorgeous self to create images that reflect who you are and can be cherished forever.Do you photograph groups of people or just a maximum of Two?
Our team is committed to providing you with a photo shoot which delivers exactly what you want. We welcome double bookings, too, where you and a special friend or partner share the day, experiencing our fantastic make-over and photo shoot together.Can I bring a friend to keep me company?
Yes of course. We have a large, relaxing reception area with plenty of glossy magazines to read to keep them busy, plus they can happily chat to our friendly staff to keep them company.What clothing should I bring in with me?
Your photo shoot is about your individual style and tastes. It will include up to 6 different outfit changes but you don’t have to stop there, we encourage you to bring around 4-5 different outfits or as much as you can bring! You can always make your final selection once in the studio, and of course we’re here to help.
Examples include: casual, evening, smart dress, sexy lingerie, swim wear, accessories ideally whatever you feel most comfortable in. The more variety of outfits you bring, the more fun we can have creating unique styles and the better your photo shoot will turn out.Can I bring a scrap book of ideas to the photo shoot?
Yes. It’s a great idea and we love it when clients do. It gives us a great opportunity to talk you through any ideas and styles you may be wishing to emulate. Just show them to your stylist and photographer before beginning the shoot so we can ensure you leave with a set of images that were exactly what you wanted to achieve.Can I wear Fake Tan prior to the photo shoot?
Yes you can, but while some fake tans can look great we recommend against applying any specifically for your photo shoot. Remember, we can retouch away any streaks or blotchy skin but it’s much easier to add a glow to even skin than it is to remove it.I have special requirements - will Fusion Studios be able to meet these?
