Chris is such a lovely guy! I had a very cool micro shoot with him - we met up first for a chat and drink and then we met for the shoot a week or so later - I got on very well with Chris and am extremely happy with the darker genre I tried with him - I definitely recommend Chris Cook. Ros

5th shoot (I believe) with Chris, having not had a shoot in quite a few years it was so nice to come back and have such a successful shoot. As usual I highly recommend, especially if you want something gritty, arty and different.

I had a fun-filled and thoroughly fantastic shoot with Chris yesterday at my place. Along with his random bits and bobs that he brought with him as props, he also had an air of extremely positive energy about him; he was so clearly full of creativity and enthusiasm, but also calm in a sense too.

Chris was really down-to-earth and easygoing during the shoot, and very polite and courteous as a guest in my home too. He had lots of ideas which were really unique and interesting. It was really fun to work with him on some slightly different styles than what I am used to; much grittier, darker and more emotive. Chris has such a great eye for capturing realness and raw emotion on camera. I really loved his attention to detail and how he works; in dark environments with rather quirky lighting set ups! I am also often trying to 'break the rules' in photography so I really felt that we saw eye to eye in that regard. Chris was a great laugh, had a fantastic sense of humour and lots of interesting things to say. It was such a lighthearted and pleasant shoot, I was completely at ease the whole time.

Chris has kindly sent through the edits and they look amazing. I am really happy with what we have achieved and it's great to be able to include such edgy and artistic images in my portfolio, thanks to Chris and his natural talent for this nature of photography.

I highly recommend Chris and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. :)

Ahhhh what an awesome person. I can't recall ten minutes that went by without laughing on my shoot with Chris, so much fun. A magnificently warm human being, with an excellent CD collection and infectious positivity.

I've long been a fan of Chris's work and am looking forward to seeing the pictures so much, we just jammed with the unusual surroundings of a house under renovation to make what promise to be intriguing, grimy, peculiar and fabulous images.

In a word, ace.

Friendly and creative we had a nice cup of tea and then did some cool work. Very good with lighting and willing to experiment I would highly recommend Chris.

Had an amazing first shoot with Chris on Saturday. Pre shoot comms were spot on and we discussed ideas in advance. The shoot itself was chilled, relaxed, random and at times down right crazy. Chris was great fun to work with :-) and is full of creative ideas; every set was vastly different. Looking forward to working with him again (when it warms up for an outdoor shoot). I would highly recommend Chris. Thank you :-)

Working with Chris was one of my most enjoyable shoots so far. He is a superstar, creative, fun, easy to work with and an excellent, unique image maker. If you get the chance to work with him, jump at it! You wont be disapointed. 😊

Had the most spiffing day shooting with this creative genius. I'm still thinking about it now.

It's hard to put into words how amazing working with this incredible man is. Chris is just shit hot awesome in every single way, as a person and a photographer.

He is my kind of dark and completely wonderful. He is my favourite, he is incomparable.

I can't wait until the next time and the next and the next..

Love Lila xx

Well, where do I start?

So I managed to persuade Chris to work with me and shoot for a site that he had never heard of and he smashed it!

I turned up with some kind of ideas, and with our heads together, we managed to make some awesome sets of images! I'm so, so happy with them!

Hes a very talented man and got the pictures really quick! We had such a laugh, hes so down to earth and easy to work with!

Thanks so much Chris!

Had an amazing shoot with Chris yesterday. Pre shoot comms were fantastic and I knew what was planned.

Chris made me feel at ease, gave great direction and was full of fab ideas.

The images on the camera looked pretty amazing and I'm very excited to see the finished pictures.

I'd recommend Chris 110% and hope for another shoot in 2017 when I've learnt to look less like a psycho when having a portrait taken :) xx

Had an incredibly impromptu and short shoot with Chris last week.

We didn't have a lot of time, but in the time we had we got some great images. Chris was an absolute pleasure to shoot with and I can't wait to shoot with him again, hopefully for longer next time

Words tend to escape me when it comes to writing references - even more so when it is for someone as awesome as this guy! After the last amazing shoot my confidence went sky high and I wanted to shoot again! I kind of knew what I wanted but couldn't ever put it in to words - the bar was set so high last time! But as he's that special kinda crazy he knew exactly where to go with the shoot and the results are phenomenal!

Would thoroughly recommend this creative machine to anyone as I think shooting with Chris should be on every models bucket list! So much excitement from this shoot.. We're already planning the next! Bring it on.. It's gonna be a blast!

Last week I had the most amazing shoot with Chris and I'm still buzzing from it now!

It took a few months of planning but the communication was brilliant and we were definitely on the same page for what we wanted to achieve.

So I turned up at his lovely home, had a cup of coffee while we looked through the shoot plan, put some music on and then got straight to it. I instantly felt relaxed around Chris, the conversation flowed easily and the atmosphere was very creative. We got through so many ideas, I still can't quite believe it! We started with portraits and nudes, then some lamp work! Then bodyscapes with bones, dirt and smoke (thank you for not burning me!) and finished with a bath! What more could a girl want eh?!

Chris is very professional, genuine and really knows his stuff.

I can't recommend him enough!

Can't wait for the next shoot (whenever that may be!)

Thank you for a wonderful day :) x

I did a shoot with Chris yesterday and it was amazing! I've only modelled on a few occasions as I mainly do it to learn more about being on the other side of the lens (usually I'm the photographer) but I felt so comfortable within minutes.

I wanted to work with Chris as I knew I could give him a very vague outline on what sort of thing I wanted to do and he'd make it work.. And he definitely did! From what I've seen so far I'm amazed!

He's a true creative, a real gent and overall an awesome person.. If you ever get a chance to shoot with Chris - don't hesitate at all!

Chris.... Cookie! What a dude!

We'd been saying for far too blooming long we'd do something, Finally we got our shiz together and we did some totally random stuff with both of us shooting, and both modelling as well.

This guy is just so cool.... Pillow punch me into next week.... Come on then!

Communications are great, he's great company, and an epic photographer.

A PP Must shoot with

I had met Chris at a couple of the socials but hadn't had the opportunity to shoot with him until the weekend just gone.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with this fantastic human; as those before me have said, Chris has such a genuine demeanour and a real passion for his photography.

He has so many magnificent ideas for images, a true creative, and he communicates them perfectly to ensure we both get the best out of the shoot.

He has an infectiously warm personality, a wonderful sense of humour, and a joie de vivre rivalled by few; I am sincerely looking forward to the next time we shoot together!

Plus he makes a mean cup of coffee and even has soya milk on hand so I don't have to bring my own..top chap! :)

I can't recommend this awesome, if slightly wacky, photographer enough, he truly is a joy to work with! :)

I've known Chris for ages, but we've never managed to shoot together, before now. I love Chris' work and knew we'd get cracking images together! I was a bit worried when he said he wanted to do portraits (as I'm a gurner really), but a short and very relaxed shoot changed my mind. We didn't take that many images, but have produced some beautiful shots and I'm looking forward to the next time we shoot together. Highly recommended.

Finally got the chance to shoot with Chris today and already looking forward to our next! What a lovely guy! His pre shoot comms were awesome and he had lots of idea's for our shoot!

He's professional, fun, friendly and only a little bit weird :P I even received images from our shoot before I arrived home and their amazing!!

Cant wait to work with him again :)

100% recommended by me!
