WHAT IS PHOTOMAFIA STUDIOS?

Welcome to PHOTOMAFIA STUDIOS – a creative space in Northampton co-founded by Alex Macchiarelli and Joe Westley, two passionate photographers with a shared vision to support and uplift our local creative community. Together, we bring years of experience across diverse photography fields, united by our commitment to providing photographers and videographers with an inspiring, accessible studio environment.

Since opening PHOTOMAFIA STUDIOS, we’ve aimed to give artists a place where they can develop their unique style, explore new techniques, and bring ambitious projects to life. As part of this mission, we launched a series of exhibitions that provide a platform for emerging and established creatives alike. Our exhibitions invite photographers, videographers, and visual artists to showcase their work, connect with a like-minded community, and contribute to Northampton’s thriving arts scene.

We also know that having a professional space to experiment shouldn’t come at a high cost. By offering low-cost studio hire rates, we make PHOTOMAFIA STUDIOS an affordable resource for creatives looking to elevate their craft. Whether you're here to shoot your next portfolio piece, test a new concept, or be inspired by the work of others, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

A few steps away from our studio is the local independent bookshop that has become a cherished hub for Northampton’s literary and creative community. This bookshop not only offers a carefully curated selection of books but also hosts regular readings, workshops, and events that inspire and connect creatives from all walks of life. Its welcoming atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind, find inspiration, or collaborate on your next big idea. We’re proud to share a neighborhood with such a vibrant space and encourage all visitors to experience its charm.
