Just another day in the life of a top model!

A photo shoot was held at Positive Image yesterday for Graham and Brown Wallpapers featuring doggy model, Boris. We built props and wallpapered a wall for the day. The concept of the shoot was to show the tradition and "Northern-ness" of their latest patterns and features Boris the Whippet, the star of the show. The dog was to wear a flat cap but this will be added later in post production. Boris was an absolute star and would do anything for his owner, Andie (as long as she had a chicken bite!) and took it all in his stride. The shots were taken by The Phodographer, Annemarie King from York who specialises in doggy portraits for the Branding Agency, 10 Associates.


It was a long day but Boris performed like the true professional he is and ended the day with some well earned relaxation outside the studio in the daylight!

A special 2 for 1 offer as we celebrate 21 years of photographic excellence


As we celebrate our 21 years in the photographic industry, we at Positive Image are offering you the chance to get two for one on studio hire the next time you book with us, right throughout 2014.

Having been in the Advertising and Photographic Industry since 1977, I decided back in 1993 that it was time to go it alone and so formed Positive Image. It was set up primarily as an E6 Film Processing Lab, servicing mainly professional clients and photographic libraries and it grew to be one of the largest, specialist photographic labs in the area. Having been at the forefront of the industry, and with the advent of digital media, we were ideally suited to work with the latest technologies and photographic methods.

We expanded our in-house services to include, amongst other things, Photographic Set Building and Studio & Location hire and now 21 years later, these now form the mainstay of our current services and to help us celebrate, we are giving our customers old and new a chance to get two for the price of one on Studio Hire.

Fancy a whole day for the price of a half? You got it. Two days for the price of one? No problem. Now you can take your time setting up or tweaking to get your shoot just right, without having to watch the clock. Offer applies to your next booking within 2014 and to two consecutive days or half days.
So next time you need a studio to work from or have a video to shoot, for half the normal price, pick up the phone, give us a call and see what we can do for your business.
