Allan Blackett is steadily establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the dynamic field of photography.

Having spent much of his life in Carlisle, with a background involving IT support for schools, he has built upon his strengths in management, design and public relations, to pursue and develop a long-held interest in photography. Perhaps, a fusion both of an upbringing surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Lake District and Scottish Borders, combined with creation of and flare for design have coincided to bring out the best in Allan's creative capacities in all aspects of his photographic work.

Over the past few years, Allan has branched out into many forms of photography, ranging from wedding photography, event (eg parties, live gigs etc.) and studio work, to portraiture of both young and old. As a husband and father of 3 young children, as well as chair of governors at his children's primary school, Allan is only too aware of parental concerns surrounding the photographing of children,and as such, shoots are always carried out in a fun, relaxed manner with parents nearby, governed by the child's own wish to play and move around freely. The results, whether it be on photograph, canvas or photobook hopefully capture a freshness and spontaneity to be treasured for years to come.

All of Allan's work is available to view and purchase online, and he is happy to discuss personal requirements and accept bookings in and around Cumbria and the Borders or further afield if required. The client can rest assured that Allan will offer honest professionalism with a view to achieving a photographic portfolio bringing out the best in every person. Versatility and quality are central to Allan's work ethos and he strives to put an individual stamp upon every undertaking and take on board and realise clients' personal needs.
