The Library as Backdrop

The beautiful seventeenth-century library interior and the historic medieval buildings are occasionally used by photographers and film-makers as a setting for their work.

Recent months have seen several such photo shoots:

Kellianne Chandler did a fashion shoot entitled 'Geek Chic'.

Shirlaine Forrest did a series of portraits of Liam Fray, singer with the Manchester band The Courteeners.

You can see more of the Library in this photoshoot by Darby Sawchuck of costumes from the Royal Exchange Theatre, and some more of his photos from Chetham's here.
