Manchester Airport Group, Return to Travel Campaign

Services | Portrait Photography & Editing

Project Details

In collaboration with Manchester Airports Group (MAG), I was commissioned to capture a comprehensive series of staff portrait photography across their three key locations: Manchester, Stansted, and East Midlands Airports.

This project was part of MAG’s Return to Travel campaign, designed to showcase the dedicated team behind the resumption of air travel post-pandemic. Over the course of the assignment, I photographed hundreds of employees in diverse roles, from airfield operations to customer service and engineering, ensuring that each portrait reflected both professionalism and individuality. The project required coordination across multiple airports, maintaining a consistent visual style while adapting to various environments. These images played a vital role in humanising the campaign, putting a personal face to the team behind MAG’s trusted travel services.
