Heather in a milk bath for her Gothic Portrait
At Christmas I won a raffle at a Horror Christmas Market and one of the things I won was a photo shoot with Amanda Norman. This wasn’t something I would have ever had the courage to do if I hadn’t have won it as a prize but after meeting Amanda for the first time, she instantly put me at ease and I felt comfortable to talk about ideas for my shoot with her and be open and honest with her about what I was and wasn’t ok with.
She was kind, considerate and put me at ease right from the first meeting with her. In all honesty, it was like I had known her for years right from the start. She gave me full control of the photos that she would use for her site and was happy to crop and edit any bits that I didn’t like too.The whole experience was so much fun that looking back on it all I can remember is laughing and I’m thankful that I met Amanda and that I had the courage to do my photo shoot with her. It boosted my confidence and it is something that I will do again with her in the future with her too. Where else can you get a gothic horror photo taken of yourself with such a bright, loving and compassionate woman?!
If you’re thinking about doing this – DO IT! You won’t regret it

Testimonial: Cherri from Warrington
I won a competition at work where the prize was a free horror portrait by renowned Gothic horror photographer, Amanda Norman and make-up done by the very talented MUA Kerry Sheree. I’d never had the chance to do anything like this before so wasn’t sure what to expect, however Amanda and Kerry were extremely professional, put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable right from the start. Kerry made me look unbelievable, I wanted something different to the usual every day me, and boy did I get that! We got some fantastic shots, which I’m over the moon with. I would highly recommend both Amanda and Kerry if you are looking to have an alternative portrait done. I can’t wait to see my 12×8 inch print. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. I think I might try burlesque shoot next!

I had a photo shoot with Amanda, with my make up done by Kerry Sheree. I was very nervous whilst driving to the shoot, but the lady’s soon put me at ease.
I can’t express my thanks enough, for there encouragement. My confidence has certainly grown by doing this and please take it from me, if you have always wanted to do something like this, but haven’t got the courage, please take the leap of faith as this experience was a turning point in my life.
Professional and fun!
I had a great day and the outcome of the photographs are amazing. I’d recommend to anyone!

Mad Hatter Inspired Portrait
Great fun today as my very first time as a ‘model’.
Kerry’s work is very professional and her easy going nature put me right at ease and helped me relax. Amazed at the transformation in to full on Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp would have been proud of this make over in the Tim Burton film. Great work too by Amanda Norman, a wizard behind the lens, can’t recommend this partnership highly enough, what a team! Hollywood beckons…!

Testimonial from Mel
Really enjoyed it and trying to choose out of 80 odd pictures was so hard. I can’t wait to get them tweaked and have the other dilemma of choosing one! I have no doubts it will look amazing on my wall.

Testimonial from Kev
When l arrived I was very nervous of about what l was getting myself into! When l was greeted by Amanda everything changed!!
She made me feel at ease and explained everything in full! She asked me to relax and try and get into character and NOT a ‘bugs bunny’ one at that, LOL! She helped and advised with posing, posture, expression and she even described the different types of photography styles she was doing!!
THIS IS A MUST FOR ANYONE! A GREAT GIFT FOR A FRIEND OR MEMBER OF THE FAMILY…………..THANKS AMANDA
