The studio
Commercial Photography Studio in Darwen, Lancashire
Rifkin & Livesey specialises in industrial, manufacturing, product, bicycle, corporate headshot, food and drinks photography for businesses across Lancashire, Manchester, the North West and the UK.
From 2005 to a Full-Time Commercial Studio
Rifkin & Livesey is led by commercial photographer Wayne Myers. Wayne began his photography journey in 2005 after the birth of his son Tyler, developing a deep interest in capturing meaningful moments and well-crafted imagery.
After more than two decades working in retail management, Wayne transitioned into professional photography full time, building the technical knowledge and practical experience required to deliver reliable commercial photography for businesses.
Today the focus is firmly on helping organisations present themselves clearly and professionally through carefully planned photography that reflects the quality of the business behind it.
Studio and On Location
Rifkin & Livesey operates from a commercial photography studio based in Darwen, Lancashire. The studio is regularly used for product photography, corporate headshots, food photography, drinks photography and controlled commercial shoots where consistent lighting and precision are essential.
Many assignments are also photographed on location at client premises. Industrial photography and manufacturing photography frequently take place inside working factories, workshops, warehouses and engineering facilities where machinery, production processes and skilled people at work need to be documented safely and accurately.
As well as Lancashire, a good deal of this on-location work is in Greater Manchester. Recent Manchester assignments include documenting Santander's new head office, corporate headshots for Forbes Solicitors, work with the Contollo Group, corporate event coverage across the city, and construction projects on sites in and around Manchester.

Photography produced by Rifkin & Livesey is typically used across company websites, ecommerce platforms, brochures, marketing campaigns, social media, recruitment materials and advertising.
