THE STUDIO

Stockport Centre

Located just five minutes from Stockport train station and bus links, our studio spans three rooms and balances function with personality. The downstairs space is visually distinctive and often used for editorial shoots, while the upstairs office and second studio offer a calmer environment for headshots and portraits. The studio is intentionally welcoming, making it particularly well-suited to people who don’t feel at home in more traditional studio settings.

Close-up portrait series in black and white showing emotional expressions and natural styling.
Meet the Photographer

Hello, my name is Fern Deacon

I’m a photographer and actor with a long-standing love of vintage clothing and visual storytelling. My work centres on personality, creating images that feel like you rather than a version shaped to fit a mould.


I tailor each shoot to the person in front of the camera, whether that means building ideas together through styling, props, and moodboarding, or stepping in to shape the shoot when direction is needed. The aim is always the same: thoughtful, aesthetically driven images that let personality come through naturally.

Get in touch

 

It began with performers. The same approach now shapes work with small businesses and studios.
