I’m Funke, Manchester-based photographer, queer creative, and the person behind FOR Creative Studios.

I started this studio because I kept seeing the same thing: women and businesses settling for images that didn’t do them justice. Safe photography for people who deserved something far bolder.

My work sits at the intersection of editorial and personal - high contrast, cinematic, and always led by the person in front of the lens. I shoot portraits, boudoir, personal branding, maternity, and events. And whether you’re a founder building a brand, a woman stepping in front of a camera for the first time, or someone who has never quite seen themselves reflected in photography before — my job is the same: to make the image feel like you.

This studio is an affirming space. Queer clients, clients of all bodies, backgrounds and identities are not just welcome here — you are exactly who this work is for.

Based in Manchester. Available across the UK.
