Manchester’s Newest Photography
S2 Photography is delighted to announce that we have acquired ownership of Photosphere, one of Manchester’s most respected and highly-regarded commercial photographers.
The two companies will initially continue to trade independently, although as part of the deal, S2 will be moving into expanded studio facilities at Red Bank, current home of Photosphere in the heart of Manchester. The companies will be increasing the studio space by more than 50% to accommodate the workloads of the new set up.
Senior photography staff from both companies will continue to provide the high levels of service of which both are rightly proud. Adam Murray-Brown of S2 and Dave Fielding of Photosphere are both well known on the Manchester photographic scene.
For you, as a valued client, we believe this move will offer great benefits. Our new set up will provide even greater flexibility and resource than previously. The combining of the talents of Adam and Dave will enable us to give clients the best in creative thinking and dramatic, effective photography and moving images.
We will be in touch personally very shortly to explain fully our ideas, inspiration and future plans. Meanwhile if there is anything you wish to discuss with us, do please feel free to contact any of our key personnel:

S2 Photography Under New Management
S2 has undergone an exciting and invigorating change of ownership and has a new management team in place.
The new executive board comprises existing S2 director Brian Mann, award-winning senior photographer Adam Murray-Brown and new majority shareholder Dave Stevinson.
Ex-McCann Erickson and MAP client services director David Wolstenholme has also been appointed to the management team and will head up business development.
We’ve received great support from our clients, all of whom are continuing to use our services under the new structure.
They’re delighted that the people who now own the business are the ones who are actively involved in the day-to-day work, ensuring the highest standards of client service and creativity.
S2 Digs in for Thorncliffe
Building supply and waste management specialists Thorncliffe are rightly proud of their unique waste transfer facility in North Wales and wanted to show it off to the world.
We produced a wide portfolio of shots for use online and in print which dramatically illustrate the scope and capability of the Thorncliffe business.
Debbie Harper of Thorncliffe says, “We are delighted with the photographs produced by S2. They responded very quickly, taking some gorgeous photographs of the surrounding area, adding a touch of flair and creativity.
The shots will enable us to communicate our products and services to our target audience very effectively.”
S2 Finds Itself on the Carpet
As one of Manchester’s leading creative agencies, Charterhouse have an excellent reputation to protect. They are very protective of their clients and always ensure they are getting the best for them in quality and value.
So, when they were briefed by their client G H Frith to create some dramatic and eyecatching photography, they came to S2.
Eliott Peterken of Charterhouse comments “We knew that S2 shared our philosophy that good photography enhances the product, makes it the hero and, at the same time, adds to the creative scenario. They certainly did this for us on this project.”
Senior photographer Adam Murray-Brown took all the shots himself and then retouched them to create the perfect picture.
S2 Gets the Bounce from Go!
Go! Creative Design is an experienced design and production studio with a proven track record of producing high quality design work to suit any budget.
They are also a funny, down to earth bunch and this was clearly demonstrated in their recent wheeze when they sent out hundreds of beach balls to clients and prospects, inviting them to take part in a Spot the Ball competition to win an i:pod. Go! briefed S2 to produce a selection of large outdoor shots to create the competition pages.
Go! Creative’s Worldwide Executive Chairman Paul Ashworth said “It was important for us to communicate the fun and spontaneity of the idea and S2 were unable to do this, we were extremely disappointed and wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.”
OR, should that say?
Go! Creative’s Managing Director Paul Ashworth said “It was important for us to communicate the fun and spontaneity of the idea and S2 were able to this perfectly.”
S2 Throws an Independent Party
We are having a party and showing off some of our award-winning photography at the same time.
At the Circle Club, one of Manchester’s most exclusive venues, we’ll be providing a few drinks, some valuable prizes and the chance to see some terrific photographs.
The event is on July 4th (Independence Day. Geddit?) from 6pm until 10pm.
Our very good friends from Boss Models will also be there in force.
Entry is by invitation only and those interested should contact David Wolstenholme on 0161 728 8959 or by email via this site.
