City Centre, Manchester, Lancashire
Hello
I'm Joe, a specialist portrait photographer from Manchester. I was both born and raised here and currently I'm working from a beautiful co-working space in the city centre.
I began trading as a freelance photographer back in 2013 and since then I've found a secure footing in the Manchester portrait photography market.

Absolutely outstanding service, couldn't recommend highly enough. Most notably - I had my shoot booked in and received the edited shots just 24 hours after I requested a booking! The whole experience was of utmost professionalism as well as incredibly warm and welcoming. Thanks Joe! More...

I contacted Joe recently to arrange an Actor Headshot session for my son. Joe was readily contactable prior to the session. On the day we found he was very friendly and put my son at ease - it was a very enjoyable session. The quality of the photos sent to us was excellent. I would recommend Joe and would use him again.

I contacted Joe to enquire about having some business headshots taken for my LinkedIn profile. He was really great, and it was clear from the moment I met him that Joe was passionate about his trade. His setup was very professional, but wasn't quite as daunting as photography shoots tend to be; he would take several shots as we were having a chat to yield more natural expressions. Every 5/10 minutes we would review the shots and then continue to take photos until I ended up with the perfect shots. Joe was quick to touch up the shots and email them to me, and responded to queries in a timely manner. Highly recommend! More...

Jo is a wonderful photographer. I went to his studio when I needed head shots and full body profile photos. We went outside to take some pictures and took more in his studio. The studio is a great space located in the city centre. Jo took great care in setting up the different kinds of lighting that the photos required. I didn't really know what to do in front of the camera but Jo made me feel comfortable and gave some helpful pieces of advice. After we finished the shoot, he was happy to do any editing that was needed and sent the pictures to me promptly.I've never had my photo taken professionally before so the whole process was a new and fabulous experience. Even if you don't really have a reason to get some professional photos made, it's worth it just to see what you look like in such crisp photos! More...

I visited Joseph last week for headshots and professional/corporate pictures. Prior to attending the session, Joseph was easily contactable to discuss ideas for the session. He offered great ideas and was more than happy to listen to my ideas, which was great.When attending the session, the studio was easy to find. A great space that was open, spacious, light, clean and warm, which is important for a photography studio. Joseph had the rare gift of making me feel comfortable and at ease, which added to the quality of the pictures taken.The turnaround on the final pictures was quick. The pictures were exactly how I imagined they would be.Would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great pics. More...

The studio was spacious, i was kindly offered tea/coffee and even though we went over the pre-arranged time, Joe was flexible enough in extending it to achieve all the shots I had wanted. Joe's positive and enthusiastic personality made me feel very comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. More...

I saw Joseph last weekend for a shoot. He had a nice studio in the northern quarter and was kitted out with lots of great equipment, so I new this was a very professional set up and I was in good hands. I spent about 2.5 hours with Joseph and an assistant and had loads of shots taken in the studio and outside in the northern quarter. I've seen lots of shots now, after a short turnaround time, and they look fantastic. He is very professional and great to work with. I strongly recommend him. I had a bad experience with a photographer in Manchester in the past, I am very glad I found Joseph Rigby! More...

When you climb the stairs to Joe’s studio you enter a comfortable world where relaxation and friendliness are on offer. There is no limit to the number of shots Joe will take; he just wants what he believes to be the right ones that show off your best side; and with his experience he knows your best side.I was experiencing this for the first time and Joe made it really enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended. More...

I came to Joe after i was recommended and saw some of his work. Joe was very understanding and managed to get my headshots back to me super fast which was great as I needed them for a last minute audition. Great studio, easy to find and comfortable. Joe definitely knows how to work with you to get a natural looking headshot with sincere emotions. More...

I came to Joe for some headshots for my profile. He had a very professional set up and instantly made me feel welcomed and relaxed.
During the shoot I found Joe to be proficient at giving direction to help me give a variety of expressions and I found the whole experience a pleasure.
I also found him to be efficient in producing the final product which I am really, really pleased with and would defiantly use his services again should the need arise.
Thank you so much Joe :-)
