Our Black Magic Portraiture.
Black Magic imagery is an unique collection and has been designed to enhance the classic style of image.
Black against Black.
The Black Magic Collection Session.
A one hour studio photographic session followed a few days later by a viewing session to preview your images and pick your favourites.
We ask that you and your family wear black or very dark plain and not patterned clothing for your Black Magic portrait session, true low key images work best when there are no distractions from the face, therefore keep your clothing choices simple, please do not wear patterns or logos. It is also worth noting that Black Magic portraits are almost exclusively half length or head shots, this is because we are looking to the face as the focal point of the image.
After your session we will make an appointment for you to view your images, at this preview you may order as many or as few pictures as you wish, please make sure that all parties involved in the decision making are in attendance at this viewing and please allow between 1 and 2 hours for the viewing.
Black Magic Portraiture is exclusive to High Society Photography.
The creation fee is only £100, this allows for a session of one hour and includes the production of your preview show, there is no minimum order, so you can order as many as you like of your favourite images, whatever you do order of your Black Magic images they will be printed in our own classical warm black and white and presented in a beautiful black frame mouding and either a thick black or white mount, and complete frames start from as little as £125.
This presentation combines the classical timeless look of fine art presentation with a contemporary twist.
Call us to chat about your Black Magic photo session on 01792 883274 or purchase a voucher for family or friends.

My son and daughter recently had a dance photo shoot with Collin. I absolutely can not recommend him enough. He made both my children feel so comfortable, he talked through the shoot with them and allowed them to share their own ideas with him. He didn't rush the photo shoot itself and kept going until my (perfectionist) son was happy.
The viewing process again was incredible, and Collin allowed us plenty of time to decide on the photos, we took a while because there were so many amazing shots of them both.
I am beyond delighted with the photos we decided upon, as are my very hard to please teens!
Thank you again Collin xxx

My daughter Maddi has recently had a dance photo shoot with Collin and we were overjoyed with the images
Collin gave us a very warm welcome and was very friendly and patient. We didn’t feel rushed at all and Collin was eager to try many different looks.
When we returned for our viewing he had captured Maddi’s beautiful looks and talent to a “T” in the images and needless to say they brought a tear or 2 to my eye !!
It’s easy to see why Collin is a multi award-winning photographer and his expertise and experience speaks volumes. Many thanks we had a wonderful time.

Collin was incredibly friendly and put both myself and my daughter at ease. I'd booked for a dance photoshoot to try and instill a little more confidence in her. The photos speak for themselves and she had great fun doing them! A bonus for her was meeting Pippa- who ended up making a guest appearance in the photos!

We looked at loads of local photographers before we seen High Societies portfolio, they didn't compare. We are over the moon with the photos of our baby boy Jacob. Hay pampers do you need a new baby model, you will have to use High Society Photography though! Thank you x
