From Premier League stadiums to product launches, I’m a professional photographer working across Manchester and the North West.
Manchester Photography That Works Hard for Your Brand
Manchester is one of the UK’s most dynamic cities, and the brands, businesses and organisations here deserve photography that keeps up.
I’m Nathan Stirk, a professional photographer with nearly a decade of experience working across commercial, events, sports, agriculture and conferences. My work has taken me from the Etihad and Old Trafford to the AO Arena, Old Trafford Cricket Ground and beyond.

From brand campaigns and corporate headshots to product launches and PR photography, I produce professional imagery that gives Manchester businesses a sharper visual identity.

Football is a particular specialism, with work covering Manchester City FC and Manchester United FC across matches, signings and press conferences.
Agriculture Photography
Manchester sits on the edge of some of England’s finest farming country, and I work with farms and agri-businesses across the wider region.
From livestock and landscapes to agri-brand campaigns and PR content, I bring a genuine understanding of rural life to every agriculture shoot.
