I’m so proud to announce that Focus Photography is reopening, and this time, it’s been completely reimagined with SEND-inclusivity at its heart.
As an autistic photographer, I know how stressful and overwhelming traditional studios can be – the harsh lights, the noise, the unpredictability. That’s why I’ve transformed my studio into a space that’s gentle, quiet, and welcoming for individuals and families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
The new setup includes soft, adjustable lighting, a clutter-free layout, a quiet break area, and one-to-one sessions by appointment – so no crowds, no stress, and no rushing.
I’d love to invite you to join me for our Grand Reopening Mini-Event:
📅 Tuesday 22nd July
🕛 12:00 – 2:00PM
📍 Jelleyman’s Heritage Arts Charity, Puxton Lane, DY11 5DF
On the day, you’ll be able to enjoy:
– A free photo session including 2 digital photos and 2 printed copies
– Sensory-friendly activities in a quiet room
– Free goodie bags for every child
– Soft music, chilled vibes, and no pressure
– A livestream of the ribbon cutting
– Refreshments and a calm, welcoming space
The event is completely free to attend, but we’ll also be raising funds to help repair the lift at JHAC – a vital step to making the whole building fully accessible for people with mobility challenges. Every penny raised will go directly to that cause.
I’ve also launched something called Community Cuddles – where every child visiting the studio gets to take home their own teddy. If you have any new or gently-loved cuddly toys to donate, please feel free to drop them off at JHAC between 9am–5pm, Monday to Friday.
This isn’t just a reopening – it’s a step towards making photography more inclusive, more mindful, and more human. Whether you’ve visited before or this is your first time, I’d love to welcome you.
