The aim of PrintYours is to provide the highest level of quality and personal service to Photographers, Artists and Designers whilst still being affordable.

Keith Thompson
Keith was born in Twickenham and lived in the Richmond area where he studied photography, winning Evening Mail Photographer of 1973 and The Spirit of London competition in 1977.
He then began his search for improvement with qualification beginning in 1985 finally becoming a fellow in 1988 and is now a renowned wedding & portrait photographer.
Keith won his first major competition as a professional photographer in 1992, his passion for photography grew and during the 1990's he won over 100 photographic awards and became photographer of the year an amazing 11 times ( a feat unsurpassed by any other UK photographer)
Keith now owns Studio Rouge, a prestigious studio on the outskirts of Reading and travels around the world for his clients. His wife of 27 years, Debbie, runs the business with this daughters Lynsey & Charlotte and son Jamie providing an elite team with the same set of values and ambitions
Jamie has just gained his qualification AIPP/ABIPP in his car and commercial photography and Lynsey has been upgraded to FSWPP/FBIPP with her contemporary nude studies all of the 'children' are very talented and are likely to become as well known as their father!
Studio Rouge is a thriving business, hugely motivated and highly talented, the care and attention that the studio offer their clients is probably second to none, with a high average spend, the team are content to be lead by Keith, a true professional who never believes in 'good enough'. It is probably this that motivates the business to move from strength to strength when many others have fallen along the way.
