About

I Am Emma

My career spans over a decade as an award winning Professional Portrait Photographer , Speaker & Educator, and includes Portrait Photographer of the Year 2024, two more appearances in the prestigious Top 3 International Portrait Photographer of the Year, over 60 international publications including front covers and 9 times as a finalist in Portrait of the Year. 

Being equally comfortable working from my Manchester studio or on location, I work both commercially and with private clients. Influenced by feminine strength and elegance, my aim is to capture the essence of a woman's beauty in timeless, elegant images. With a wealth of experience in lighting and posing along with an innate ability to quickly put women at ease, I am proud to have clients travel to me from around the UK and sometimes Europe/USA for my business Belle Privé Photography.

I am also an educator, having spoken all over the UK at events such as The Photography Show and the London Photo Convention, as well as to many camera clubs. I often train photographers during private tuition sessions and I even teach virtually to photographers in US. I am co-founder of Photography Session Days, teaching portraiture, lighting and organising photography events in unique locations around the UK.

I also run Emma Finch Photography which specialises in Family, Children, and Lifestyle on location.
