About - Mike Kelly Photography

I’m a photographer based in Rossendale, just North of Manchester. I mostly shoot portraits, but occasionally events, weddings and commercial work. Switching hats, I also advise large businesses on IT strategy and transformation.

I have four children and I’m currently studying for an MA in Photography at Manchester Metropolitan University. I sleep when I can.
