Bedford Start-Up Support Client Story: Artisan Photography

Artisan Photography is a one-person photography business run by Peter Ford, offering real estate, product and portrait photography with a special focus on vintage-style images inspired by the mid-1800s. After being laid off, Peter saw an opportunity to turn his years of experience into something new — his own business.

Photography had always been a passion, and this became the push he needed to build something for himself. With a keen eye for detail and a unique artistic approach, Peter now provides high-quality photography services that capture timeless character and craftsmanship.

Starting a business, however, meant navigating challenges beyond photography itself. Peter needed support in setting up, running and marketing his business — so he turned to the Bedford Borough Council Start-Up Support Programme, delivered by Wenta. Through free webinars and one-to-one business advice, he gained the skills to grow his online presence and connect with the right customers. Learning how to use social media effectively has been a game-changer, helping him build brand awareness and attract new clients.

Now, as Artisan Photography grows, Peter’s goal is to expand his client base and be shooting several days a week, turning his passion into a thriving business.
