The Full Story
Sim McKie’s Photography operates as a trading name of Pholux Collab Ltd, a creative media company based in the United Kingdom.
The vision behind the studio is not only to provide professional photography services but also to support creative collaboration between photographers, actors, and other artists.
Being involved in the acting industry as well, Sim understands how important strong headshots are for casting opportunities. A good headshot is often the first impression casting directors see, and the goal of every session is to create images that represent you at your best while remaining true to who you are.
Working primarily in Manchester and the North West, the studio regularly collaborates with actors, creatives, and professionals looking for modern, natural, and industry-ready photography.
As the studio grows, the wider goal through Pholux Collab is to build a creative platform that supports photographers, performers, and creative projects through collaboration and visual storytelling.
