Ollier Photography marks its 60th Anniversary

A well-known photography studio is marking its 60th anniversary with a special promotion in aid of East Cheshire Hospice.

Ollier Photography is offering a two-hour studio portrait shoot, plus a 10” x 8” mounted photograph valued at £180, for a £25 donation to the Hospice.

Any additional images can then be bought separately from the studio which has strong Macclesfield roots.

The firm was set up in 1964 by the late Brian Ollier after he left his job as a junior photographer with the Macclesfield Express. Wife Margaret left her job as a cook to help run the studio.

He kept his links with the paper through his popular ‘Looking Back’ column which was published for many years.

Brian’s original pastel portrait style was highly successful and the couple travelled the world attending lectures and seminars.

Brian died in 2014, a year after he retired. The firm continues to flourish under youngest son Joe and business partner Matt Webb.

Matt said: “We’re proud of our Macclesfield heritage and want to celebrate 60 years in business by supporting the Hospice.”

“People can have portraits of whatever they want – it might be their children, grandchildren or their pets.”

Margaret said: “Brian saw great changes in photography throughout his career, finally embracing digital photography. He never lost his enthusiasm for his art and left a legacy of thousands of images spanning almost 50 years.”

Visit www.eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/ollier-photography to make the donation, using the email confirmation as a voucher to book a session directly with Ollier Photography.
