Award-winning family portrait studio Venture Portraits is celebrating redeveloping its studio in Shipley into one of the most modern of its type in the country.

The firm, owned by Paul Wilkinson, has invested thousands of pounds in the studio in Well Croft - which has more than doubled in size, boasts state-of-the-art lighting equipment, new offices and reception area.

The business also includes a training centre which is used by leading photographers from across the UK to learn the latest techniques in modern portrait photography.

Paul Wilkinson said: "The scale of the redevelopment means we can offer clients the most extensive and up-to-date facilities available anywhere in the country as well as the creative talents of our award-winning photographers.

"Everything has been designed with the comfort of our clients in mind. The entire premises have not only been massively extended, but modernised in a relaxed, contemporary style which is the hallmark of our photographic work. In addition, with the creation of our new training centre, we aim to become the country's centre of excellence for family portrait photography."
