My grandad Roy Offley was passionate about photography, his journey started during WW2 where he served in the RAF Mobile Field Photographic section serving around the world until the end of the war. A short time after this Roy established his photography business ‘R. L. Offley – High Class Photography’.
One of the oldest price lists we have of my grandads advertised ‘flashlight photography’ and ‘photographs hand coloured in oils’ with an aim on producing high quality portraiture (still a philosophy we have today)!
