Meet the Team

Studio Open Since 2006

Mark –Studio Owner

Studio and business owner Mark, has over 30 years of experience in the family portrait industry.  He began his career as a junior photographer working his way through every possible photographic scenario imaginable with a wealth of outside business experience leading him to become the captain of our ship and a proper marketing guru, steering everyone, from client to colleague, through the waters with a safe pair of hands on the wheel. He’s brill to work with, not only because he gives every one of us an adequate free reign allowing, under his ultimate control, our creative talents to come to the fore ..but he buys the cookies too! A perfectionist in everything he does with a keen eye to ensuring the experience for both client and staff in the studios is a pretty fine one!

Lewis – Studio Manager & Head of Photography

The ‘Big Man’ Lewis – a gentle giant of a man with a deep laugh and a huge sense of fun. Lewis heads up our photography team with a wealth of world-wide training, experience and genuine care for his clients which, when combined with his natural talent, his penchant for fine art practices, and the most incredible pet photography we have ever seen, makes him a legend throughout the team and a pleasure to work with every day. Lewis has been with the Venture Photography group for some years but still manages to keep his work fresh, personalised and of the utmost calibre as he takes us to the next level.

Anj –Bookings Manager

It’s Anj that starts your journey – making your booking, asking loads of ‘bonkers and bizarre’ questions to ensure your photographer has all the information about your  family before you come in to plan the session so we  ‘shoot to suit’. Anj’s purpose is to ensure Venture Leeds is not a ‘conveyor belt’ operation and every client experience is personalised to get the best results. Anj finishes your journey too, she heads up the viewing room team – she is trained to style the final photographic results with a professional eye for display, coordinating your chosen images with the best frames, mount style  and size of wall art pieces for your home, totally under client instruction but with a keen eye to getting the perfect end result on the wall. A sort of ‘Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen’ with slightly less facial hair?? A mine of professionally suggested style tips if you need them to get the very best results on the wall.

Lisa – Bookings

Lisa has worked for Venture longer than Venture has existed!! She eats, sleeps and breathes the client experience with professional, helpful knowledge delivered in a fun and friendly manner. There is nothing this lovely lady doesn’t know about the diary, the viewing room and the after sale service. She is a gem of a lady with a big smile and a glint in her eye.

Sue – Bookings

‘Our Sue’- a valued member of the bookings team who balances the diary and bringing up her gorgeous daughter too. Sue works from home (if she calls you might even get to hear her cutey dogs in the background). She is super- efficient and brilliant at finding the perfect diary session for your shoot. When she is in the studios, it will be Sue calming your pets and cuddling your babies (with your permission of course).

Sophie –Photographer

Yasmin has been with us since 2020 and during this time she became a mum to her little boy and she loves using her experiences as a mum to help clients when booking their photoshoots with their precious ones.

Yasmin is mainly fuelled by caffeine and giggles, everyone knows when she’s in the building.

Ruby – Photographer

‘Rubes’  A true asset to the Venture Leeds team with her bubbly fun personality and her determination to be the best of the best. Ruby has an extremely keen eye when it comes to selecting the best of the photographs from a shoot to add to a viewing presentation. She has a degree and is now undertaking, at incredible speed, the full Venture Academy training programme which she attacks with gusto incorporating her own ideas, energy and artistic integrity, listening to the client brief and interpreting the instruction as only a Venture team member can do.

Alex –Production

Our in- house edit wizard. An incredible talent hidden behind a great big beard! He is super clever at removing everything that is unwanted on images and adding extra bits that are. He can whiten teeth, clean nails, shoes and noses and ssshhhhh fill in bald spots and smooth away wrinkles – we all love Alex to bits.

Georgia –Receptionist

‘G’ started her career with us as a Saturday girl, serving teas and coffees and making fresh popcorn for the viewing room visitors. She now has properly joined our Venture family to undertake our social media, doing video reels, behind the scenes and all sorts! Even getting the team involved! Check out her work on our website, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. She’s fun to work with and keen to please everyone who visits, normally dressed with a splash of pink or matching hair accessory!

What an incredible experience from start to finish. From the photoshoot to the viewing session, and then the final result – our favourite photo EVER of Giles the sausage dog – the team were extremely helpful, skilled, and above all professional. We absolutely loved it and would recommend to anyone wanting a high-quality family photoshoot.

We’ve had an amazing experience. The whole team are excellent and made us feel so comfortable. We felt like VIPs. The photoshoot was seamless with Rhi, and the viewing experience was fantastic. It was explained well and they were very patient while we spent forever picking our images. We will recommend to all of our friends!
