Hey All,

Im on the lookout for any ideas of decent locations for a photoshoot in the North West, preferably Manchester based.
Im struggling for ideas, and with the shoot booked for 7 days I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions?

Cheers

Sam

I live in Manchester and drive quite a lot randomly (or aimlessly).
Any particular look you are going for, rather than the ubiquitous brick/industrial backdrop ?

Ideally im looking for an urban / industrial spots, thoughts so far are China Lane, any ideas would be grateful :)

Have you tried Street View on Google Earth?

[Midas Mk1]

Yup, we spent about an hour on Google earth last night, found some nice places such as China Lane, but all are limited to short stays only, ive spent ages on there today but have been struggling for ideas. :/

yeah my martial arts class is round the corner from there and parking is pay and display up to 2030 if I recall.

Try Trafford Park as there are industrial places galore round there

edit - didn't read that you've found a place. Where was it ?

Dunham massey, get some great shots there.

[Midas Mk1]

In the end I went to Ancoats, the photographer got some amazing shots.

I was going to suggest driving round trafford park to find a spot, plenty of industrial stuff round there.

Look forward to seeing the pics!

[Midas Mk1]

My back up plan was trafford park Mike, I managed to find some places on streetview incase the ancoats location failed.

For the pics, check out last months Mini mag ;)
