Services.
The studio’s full commercial surface, drawn together so a visitor can see what the bench offers at a glance. Editioned prints, aerial and bureau commissions, bespoke sculpture bred from a recorded gesture, belt-printed wall reliefs, Looking Glass quilts, the Bezel-Clip controllers, workshops in the studio, and the Rookery forum.
Behind every line on this page is a one-person practice. The editioned work sells through the catalogue; the bespoke work runs through a calendar gate and is quoted per brief. Lead times are named in the reply email rather than promised on this page, because what a one-person studio can carry depends on what’s already on the bench.
On price: the studio prices at market for the comparable work and names accessibility where access can be named — the Nine Seconds workshop holds one seat per cohort on a sliding scale, the Rookery’s “what if I can’t afford it” FAQ names a comp route into the forum. The studio’s trans-led and disability-informed framing isn’t a global discount mechanism; it’s a reason to be honest in the rooms where access matters. Undercutting the headline price would undercut the argument that the work is worth what it costs.
Editioned prints.
Single-frame photographs, signed, numbered, on archival paper. The catalogue end of the bench.
Signed archival photograph editions
Single-frame long-exposure light-painting photographs, signed, numbered, A3 and A2 on Photo Rag or Canson Baryta.
Nine seed editions in the catalogue at /photographs, three variants each. The Shopify code path is production-ready; the admin is being seeded right now, so the cart is live as the products land.
from £180
Aerial light-painting editioned prints
Drone-mounted persistence-of-vision arrays flown on slow programmed paths after sundown, captured single-frame from a partner ground camera. Editioned and signed.
The technique is in first-flight testing. The print line opens for commission once I trust the rig in the air; the calendar gate is honest, not coy.
from £350/A2
Commissions.
Work made to a brief — aerial, bureau, sculpture, wall relief, volumetric quilt. Calendar-gated where the queue calls for it.
Aerial commission line
Five-airframe CAA-registered aerial line. Editorial stills, follow-cam B-roll, 360° fly-throughs, FPV cinewhoop, and the LED-modified light-painting airframes when the brief calls for them.
I fly the fleet myself. Standard aerial work is bookable today; light-painting commissions sit behind the calendar gate while the airframes finish first-flight testing.
- Half-day shootfrom £450
- Up to four hours on location, one airframe matched to the brief.
- Graded stills as TIFF/JPEG, motion as ProRes/H.265.
- Travel from Salford at HMRC mileage rates.
- Full-day shootfrom £750
- Up to eight hours, multi-airframe where the brief justifies it.
- 360° equirectangular delivery option for fly-throughs.
- Recce visit included on commissions inside the M60.
- Editioned aerial printfrom £350/A2
- Single-frame LED-airframe light-painting print.
- Signed and numbered; edition size set per piece.
- Available once the rig clears first-flight testing.
Print bureau — external commissions
A2 and A3 archival prints for other photographers, profiled to the bureau’s reference light, proof-then-run discipline, signed sign-off before the production batch.
The studio’s own editions are the primary use of the bench; external commissions are calendar-gated and I will say no to a brief that won’t fit the queue rather than do it badly.
- A2 archival printfrom £85/A2
- Canon Pro Platinum, Pro Lustre, or metallic photo paper.
- Test print and reference-light sign-off included.
- Insured shipping in archival tubes or crated flat.
- A3 archival printfrom £110/A3
- Same paper choice and proof-then-run discipline as A2.
- Test print (A4)£25
- Single A4 reference proof for paper-choice and colour decisions.
- Held against final balance if the run goes ahead.
Bespoke waveguide sculpture from a recorded gesture
The buyer sends a five-second video of a hand gesture. The studio breeds a 30–120 mm waveguide sculpture from it through the genetic-algorithm engine, prints it in clear or tinted resin, signs and numbers it.
Six-week pipeline. The breeding engine exists on the bench, the customer-facing intake does not yet — commissions today route through the contact form and I quote per brief.
from £450 – £1400
Made-to-measure belt-printed wall reliefs
Architectural-finish parametric reliefs cut to the buyer’s wall dimensions, hung on a slim aluminium rail system. Pattern family, colour, and seed are chosen at brief; the dimensions are taken from the room.
Belt-printer side of the bench is running; the pattern-family catalogue and the dimension calculator are still in build. Commissions today are bespoke-by-brief, not self-serve.
from £180 – £280 per linear metre
Looking Glass volumetric trail quilts
The buyer sends footage of a light-trail; the studio outputs a Looking Glass Portrait-compatible quilt file. Ships as a file, or bundled with a Portrait as a complete volumetric object.
File-side pipeline is wired; the Portrait-bundle option waits on the reseller arrangement. Delivered with a secured download link and, if hardware’s in the bundle, calibrated against the unit before it ships.
- File-only quiltfrom £120
- Server-side video-to-quilt conversion.
- Secured download URL on delivery.
- Quilt with Looking Glass Portrait bundledfrom £580
- Same quilt file as above.
- Looking Glass Portrait hardware, calibrated against the file before ship.
Kits and products.
Objects the studio designs, builds, and ships. Open by interest list while the bench finishes them.
Bezel-Clip controllers for Quest 3 and Steam Frame
A small programmable LED ring that clips to a Quest 3 or Steam Frame controller. The same persistence-of-vision logic the studio’s photographic rigs use, miniaturised onto the thing already in your hand.
Interest list is open. The electronics line is settled; the controller-mount mechanical and the headset-SDK plumbing are the parts I’m still finishing. Pre-orders fund the rest of the build.
- Single bezel£249
- One bezel for Quest 3 or Steam Frame.
- Small spares pack.
- UK shipping included.
- Matched pair£449
- Two bezels, matched per-batch.
- Spares pack and UK shipping included.
Workshops and courses.
The bench taught in person and in sequence. Salford-based, small cohorts, sliding-scale seat per cohort named where it applies.
Nine Seconds workshop in Salford
Half-day in the studio: prompt → SDXL → SAM2 → STL → print. The visitor leaves with a printed sculpture of their own prompt and the file to remake it.
Two to four seats per cohort. One seat per cohort is held back on a sliding scale — write to me if cost is the constraint and we’ll talk.
£180 – £280 per seat
Holoflow Loop — the six-rung course
The studio’s curriculum, taught in sequence rather than browsed: long-exposure photograph → capture → voxel → mesh → print → wear/display.
Course architecture exists as the free curriculum at /learn. The paid version layers video, source files, and a small cohort group; it lands once the recordings are made.
from £180 – £280
Rookery membership.
The studio’s forum, gated by a door fee that funds the room rather than extracts from it. Three tiers, one founding-member close.
Rookery — Perch tier
The standing-room ticket to the studio’s forum. Read and post in every thread, no separate “premium” channel splitting the conversation.
The door fee is a bouncer, not a barrier. The /rookery/about FAQ holds a comp tier for people whose budget can’t carry it — named there explicitly so it doesn’t feel like a favour to ask.
£6 / month
Rookery — Nest tier
Perch plus the bench-side extras: first-look at edition releases, a monthly dispatch note from the rig, and a nine-percent discount on edition prints and resin sculptures.
Same room as Perch, same threads. The Nest extras are studio-side, not Rookery-side, so the conversation in the forum stays one room.
£12 / month
Rookery — Fledge founding membership
One charge, lifetime Perch tier, listed as a founding member in the Rookery’s quiet member list. A small printed thank-you card with a signed test-strip posts once.
Available until the subscription gate closes. The gate is being wired; once Stripe is live, the Fledge tier closes for good.
£75 one-time
Every line above emerges from the same architecture — The Loop, the studio’s end-to-end practice from a poi gesture to a printed object. The people behind the work are named on About; conversations about commissions and the bench live in the Rookery; the catch-all path is /contact.
