Wayne Myers

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 & Location Photography

Rifkin & Livesey operates from a commercial photography studio at Wood Street Mill 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.
