POTO Studios

General information

We are a family run, Liverpool based studio specialising in high quality photographic and art images. Our aim is to create exceptional presentations of beautiful images, whilst keeping them affordable for our customers, partners and friends. We focus on publishing both our own work, and that of other established and upcoming local artists to give us a unique range of products created right here in Liverpool, and often with a local theme. All of our work is 'made from Liverpool'.

We believe art can touch us all individually, providing food for our minds and souls, as well as allowing us to express ourselves in our own unique way. As we all know, Liverpool has always been a melting pot of diverse peoples and cultures, gifting us with an abundance of historic and contemporary subjects to work with. In keeping with the pride and spirit of Liverpool and it's people, we can help you rediscover some of the world-famous sites and landmarks that help define home for our locals and expats. Whether that be our heritage architecture, such as a late summer evening landscape taking in the internationally famous skyline of the majestic Three Graces, or maybe something celebrating our world-famous football clubs (red or blue!).

What could be more personal and life-affirming than an image that talks to you about one of your life stories? It could be an image that makes you smile, think of home, remember a special time or inspires you to think, and maybe explore your own creativity. We carefully choose our images, and strive to keep them within financial reach for a wide audience. We don't present our images with diamond studded frames, nor do we mass produce low quality. However, we are constantly innovating to provide presentation styles that look good, work for us and our artists, and above all, work for you, our truly valued customers.

Our studio is located in the heart of Liverpool's Creative Quarter, the Baltic Triangle. You will find us in Studio F at Baltic Creative's Jordan Street building. When not in the field, we spend most of our time here, making ready all of the art work to offer to you for your enjoyment. We've been in business since 2007, and have been based here since early 2012, when our home was no longer able to accommodate our ever-expanding range of materials, finished products, equipment and visitors.

We work with celebrated local, Liverpool artists including Freida McKitrick, Peter Cameron (both based at the Elevator Studios hub), Candie Payne, Maggie Fulton, and of course our own work - photographs from Alina Tait & Charlie Tait.

Charlie and Alina also provide commercialisation, printing, mounting and sales services for artists through their sister company www.artmayka.com
