Simon Plant is launching a very unique portrait service.
Simon brings his extensive commercial experience to offer
a bespoke portrait service that is simply a world away from
the high street portrait studio. Simon says:
“We’d like to roll this out as a bespoke service to capture
unique children’s portraits. With our background in high-end
photography and retouching we can place the subject within
unique scenes be it a football stadium or a fairy-tale scene.
Our aim is to produce a beautiful and very unique image with
the skills we have honed over the last 25 years.”

What’s with the
strange name?
The Monks Yard stands
on the site of an old
monastery and small
chapel. Research suggests
that some of the site dates
back to pre-sixteenth
century. Throughout the
extensive renovation and
development work, much
care and attention was
given to honouring the
existing structures.
