About Us
Sterling Lens Photography was founded in the heart of Manchester, inspired by its vibrant diversity and creative community. Over a decade, we’ve grown from a single studio into one of Greater Manchester’s most trusted names for distinctive imagery. Our philosophy blends artistic flair with technical mastery—every portrait, event, or commercial brief is approached as a visual story told in honest detail.
Our award-winning lead photographer, Alex Jameson, insists on collaboration: we listen, consult, and shape each session around your goals. From solo entrepreneurs to established brands, non-profits, and families marking a milestone, we approach every commission with fresh eyes and a devotion to quality. This commitment has earned us recognition for both technical expertise and the warmth with which we engage clients.
We proudly serve the broader North West, delivering images that empower, inspire, and preserve memories—images made to last a lifetime.
