Since it was founded six years ago, Venture has sought to not only change consumer perceptions of what a family portrait should be but also to transform the economics of studio ownership.

Before Venture, portrait photography was characterised by stiff, lifeless, posed imagery that was largely rejected by modern consumers. Having shaken-up the industry, the company is now seeking to pioneer a new generation of portraiture and building its reputation on an inherent passion for creativity and innovation.

'For talented photographers with visions of running their own studio or an entrepreneur looking for a good business proposition, Venture is the ideal franchise opportunity,' says Mark Witter, Venture UK Commercial Director. 'Owning a Venture studio is a fantastic lifestyle choice as you not only get the chance to be creative and be part of a truly vibrant and premium brand but you also get to make money while you are doing it.

'To us, franchising is a partnership where both parties contribute to business success and the ideal Venture franchisee would have a serious interest in photography and a wish to take it further; self-determination and a desire to run their own business; leadership and motivational management experience; possess the discipline to work under a proven method of doing business; the vision to adopt an existing business and drive through the changes needed for success and recognise the value of working within a proven branded business model.'
