Rob very kindly booked me for a full day at the AMAZING Talliston House! I hadn't worked with Rob before but had met him briefly through my stunning friend VOLKOVA and loved his super positive, upbeat attitude, so was really looking forward to the shoot!

Rob needed a different location to shoot from so I suggested the amazing Talliston House- and we were set! On the day Rob was super prepared- he had an array of fantastic lighting and photography equipment- he even bought me a bunch of flowers, fruit and chocolates (what a gent!!) which was extremely kind and thoughtful.

We had an amazing day exploring Talliston Houses different themed rooms and created some stunning images. Rob is a complete pleasure to work with, very respectful and professional, whilst equally being super fun to work with and have banter with! We shot in bursts which is how I work best and had frequent breaks throughout the day which I really appreciated.

The image Rob produced were stunning- he puts alot of thought into lighting, sets and the overall shot. I just loved working with him, his company and had a super enjoyable day- I went away smiling and thats exactly what you want from a shoot! I was also able to have more time on the full day shoot to work on more elaborate Hair and Makeup styles, which I feel really showed on the overall shots.

Super highly recommended to all and I really hope to work together again soon! Thankyou for a lovely day! Helen x

Rob is such a sweetheart! We recently worked together for a full day at my home and he turned up on the doorstep with a bunch of beautiful flowers! (Great first impression! ;-) )

Rob really is a wonderful photographer with a great eye and such a kind heart! Very friendly, chatty, relaxed and professional. He also has a cracking sense of humour!

Can't believe how quickly the time flew by! We had a wonderful, fun and productive shoot full of laughter, many outfit changes and hair and makeup changes.

Thank you so much for a wonderful day! I highly recommend Rob to ANY model and I look forward to our next shoot. :-)

I had an amazing first shoot with Rob at the Natural light studio! My journey to Northampton was difficult because I had car trouble :( but when I arrived I got given a beautiful bouquet of flowers from him and it made me feel so much better, such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We very quickly got on the same wavelength in both shooting and talking. We produced some incredible images together and had so much fun doing it. I'm so excited to see pictures as Rob edits them :D they will be unique editions to my portfolio which after 10 years of modelling is hard to achieve. Thank you for a memorable day :D can't wait until our next shoot. Claire Topaz

I had my second shoot with the lovely Rob, this time at The Natural Light Space in Northampton for the day. It was a really enjoyable, productive time again! :-D

Rob is so friendly, fun and easy to work with. He gives nice compliments but remains professional and respectful throughout. We shot such a varied range of images, and even had a go on the ariel hoop at the end of the day (by we, I mean I also shot a few pictures of him on there for fun, haha, such a tart!) :-P

Really nice guy, I look forward to working with him again in the future, and I can certainly recommend him :-)

Thanks to Rob who I worked with on a four hour shoot recently. We shot mainly natural light, in a variety of styles and locations and produced some lovely images. Rob has a creative and friendly attitude, valuing the models comfort, input and engagement in the shoot. Rob has a great sense of humour and his creative eye and technical knowledge make working with him rewarding and enjoyable.

I hope to have the pleasure of working with Rob again soon, and recommend him to all.

I worked with Rob at Hallam Mill Studio a few months ago and had a great shoot! He was polite, easy going, considerate and enjoyable to work with.

It was Rob's first shoot with a professional model, but his communications were great, he was confident and captured some super images on the day. I'd happily work with him again and recommend to others.
