Working at Stanley Baker Studios Limited

Stanley Baker established a school photography business in 1964 with his business partner, George Wheatman. They timed it well, just as colour school photography was becoming widely available. The business grew steadily over the next twenty years but in 1984 the partners went their separate ways. Stanley Baker Studios Ltd was set up with only 6 employees and a small office in Colchester.

The office is an old school building circa 1880 but on the inside is a very modern digital photography laboratory. Here we produce the photographs taken by 18 photographers in 500 schools twice a year! Hectic at times but the holidays are good.

Today we have a large team and one dog on the payroll. (Maddie gets paid in dog biscuits!) who have a great work life balance with plenty of time to spend with firends and family.
