Manchester Airport, Escape Lounges

Project Details

Working with Manchester Airport, I was hired to lead a 2-day photoshoot for two of their airside lounges. The aim of this project was to create an image asset bank showcasing the functional features and services of both lounges.

Escape Lounges

Escape Lounges provides customers with the option to get away from the hustle and bustle of the terminal while waiting for their flight. It’s all about the little touches and giving their customers the best possible experience during and after their visit.

The brief specified that the photography should be neutral, with only splashes of colour, while all Imagery should feel bright, uplifting, fresh, genuine, diverse and uniquely British.

See a selection of the images captured on the day.
