Between myself and my other half, we have quite a lot of camera equipment that cost us rather a lot…read moreof money. We know nothing lasts forever, but that said - we need to be able to rely on our equipment, and make it last as long as we can before replacing. Lots of places offer servicing of cameras - but normally they're mail order services where you post your camera off and cross your fingers it'll come back in one piece. (Yes, I'm paranoid!) We've been lucky as (touch wood) nothing serious has ever happened.. so as yet, we've just been in need of sensor cleans to get rid of those annoying bits of dust that can get trapped inside the body. That's where HPC comes in - when we discovered this local place where we can take the equipment and see who we're giving it to, it was a massive weight off our minds. Over the past few years we've regularly taken our cameras for sensor cleans here, and everything has always come back as good as new! Brilliant!

As you do, my partner and I both failed to do anything about getting our camera fixed for a long,…read morelong time.. But with our holiday fast approaching, we realised we had to get it fixed, quickly. I'd only heard good, if not brilliant things about John and the Halesowen Photo Centre, so I decided to head on down with my camera, having no idea why it was being so temperamental, to see if John could fix it. With over a week before we left, John politely asked if we were in a rush and to rate the urgency of the matter. Despite admitting it wasn't of the up most importance, he had it fixed in a few days and I collected it, yet to experience any problems four months later. Everything about this place is fantastic, anyone with a camera predicament, see John.

The two blokes who run the shop are really passionate about photography, full of advice not just on the products they sell but on where to go for other services such as processing. They also take a genuine interest in what you're working on, and if they're not able to help when you next visit they'll be full of questions about how you got on. Example stock - 35mm film, 120 film, wide range of papers to print onto, chemicals to develop - basically anything an analogue photographer could need. They're currently in the process of developing their own darkroom facilities, and rumour has it they may offer membership to those who're interested in using such a service. Eg - ME! Exciting! (Hurry up, I'm impatient! :)

We decided to have a family portrait taken at Studio Cru in Cotteridge earlier this year, it was…read morequite by chance that we chose this particular photography studio as I had received a price list and special promotional price for a framed family print. My fella is terrible when it comes to having his photograph taken as he always feels false smiling for the camera, and I was also worried that they wouldn't be able to capture my (then) eight month old daughter well as she was a live wire even at that young age so I doubted she'd sit still for them. I booked the appointment over the phone and gave a brief idea of what I wanted, the lady was very helpful and booked us in for a photo session the following week. All dressed in our best clothes, we turned up not really knowing what to expect as we've never had a family photograph taken before. The photographer and his wife were absolutely wonderful. They take a variety of posed shots and their language and actions made it fun for the children, the lady even held the baby and entertained her while we all had some separate shots taken and while I was getting into position for the next photograph. In all Studio Cru took around 25 photographs, which were immediately uploaded into the computer so we could look through the shots and choose which photos we wanted. I wanted them all, they were all so fantastic. The photographer had us posed in unusual ways which was so much nicer than simple back to back or standing family photographs. In the end we chose a bundle of six photographs; four of them featuring all five of us and the other two showing me and my partner and then just the kids' together. My favourite one, and the one we had blew up and framed, had me and Mark sitting back to back with our eldest daughter kneeling behind us and the two younger ones sitting in front. I've never seen a family photograph set out this was so I was absolutely thrilled. We were also given a couple of sheets of tiny minature photographs, one of each taken, which are too small to be displayed but ideal for putting in my purse to show people I meet my family. The prices were roughly what I would expected from any Studio of this kind, but the dedication of the staff and the overall experience makes this somewhere I will definitely return to in the future.

The photographer was fantastic with them, really patient as the youngest one couldn't really be focused so it took some time to get pictures where she was looking at the camera! The set up is really good, they are relaxed and efficient. I ordered 3 of the photographs that they took and also some key rings and it was very reasonable. So much better value than the posh so called natural photographers that everyone is going for, where you need a mortgage to afford the photographs! I would heartily recommend Studio Cru to anyone who wanted some good photographs done professionally and I'm really hoping that they are the photographers my child's primary school has chosen for school photographs next month!

Lee Allen Photography is based in the Jewellery Quarter amongst ample shops and businesses selling…read morewedding dresses and wedding rings. So it's pretty handy that one of his main activities is wedding photography, though he also has a large portfolio covering music photography, PR work and commercial assignments. Recent work includes shooting a wedding in Sierra Leone, accompanying the Hobgoblin (of beer fame) around a range of gigs promoting the range, and covering pop-up gigs in London for Last FM. His work is inspiring, and whether it's a wedding, gig, or promo shoot - he has a knack of capturing intimate and curious details of the moment that showcase the emotion and energy of whatever is in front of his lens. He's usually busy editing photographs Monday - Friday in the studio, when he's not off galavanting around the country and beyond taking envy-inducing photos!

His work is highly recognise as being creative, quirky and professional. Lee is often hired to do wedding shoots and a range of lifestyle, family and music events. He has a studio in the Jewellery Quarter which can be used for shoots such as fashion, products and modelling shots should you require them. Although Lee specialises in shooting personal and private shots direct for his customers, he's also fantastic at working for businesses. We often use him when we need professional team shots of our clients and also on location shots. These can range from shots of the community for brochures, through to images needed for regional billboard campaigns. Unlike some photographers, Lee will give you access to all the shots and work with you to select the best ones that truly meet your requirements.
