Worked with fotostrobe recently at The Loft studio on a solo and then duo shoot alongside Elle Beth.

Fotostrobe is great to work with, has ideas, is relaxed and very considerate of the model.

I thoroughly enjoyed our second shoot and would highly recommend him :)

Ahhhh what a lovely photographer this man is! Me and Tillie had an awesome shoot with Fotostrobe over at the loft in colchester (along way from his home!) And it was thurroughly enjoyable. What a calming, gentle being he is. He was so easy to get along with which is half the battle in a photoshoot and because of that it made the shoot flow effortlessly. We done a range of sets both solo and duo all coming from the very structured and organized plan that he had prepared for our shoot. This was great as it meant we made full use of the time with great ideas.

Can totally reccomended Fotostrobe, he was a pleasure to meet and work with :D

I had such an amazing shoot with fotostrobes during my Scotland tour.

He is respectful, kind, clever, great company, very skilled at his craft and a lovely person in general.

We were very creative and we also meanaged to complete his list of ideas and still have time for some extras.

I really enjoyed creating with him and I look forward to see some results when some are edited.

It was a complete pleasure working with you and I hope this won’t be the only time.

Highly reccomended :)

Can't believe it's been two years since I shot with this brilliant Photographer.

What another fantastic shoot we picked up where we left off but created even more magic!

Fotostobes understanding of lightning and it's effects helped create some some beautiful art nudes that I would be proud to add to my portfolio.

He is a brilliant Photographer and someone who is well organized precise and a really nice guy .

I can't wait to load up the results looking at the back if the camera and hope that he is in town again soon so that it's not so long next that our paths cross .

Thank you so much for a fantastic shoot 100% recommended .

I had a thoroughly enjoyable and very productive shoot today with Fotostrobe. The time literally flew by but our pre-shoot communications and natural harmony during the shoot made it flow and resonate artistically between us from start to finish. I had assembled a detailed moodboard which helped to prioritise and focus our creativity but his intention to detail with lighting was fascinating. He works with a very polite and unhurried manner and in a measured way that puts you at ease. We are already discussing our next shoot for when I am next in Edinburgh and I would of course jump at the chance to shoot again. I would thoroughly recommend Fotostrobe to anyone. Thank you for today! I can’t wait to see the results.

My 3rd shoot with Fotostrobe.

He always has an interesting idea or concept for me to try out when we work together. And a great unique way of looking at a shoot or idea.

Each shoot I feel like I'm getting something cool and unique, and learning aswel.

110% recommend and looking forward to our next shoot and the ideas that could be 😁 (Y)

What a shoot! Fotostrobe is a very delightful photographer to have had the pleasure of working with - we shot together at a studio in Edinburgh during my latest tour of Scotland and though this was our first ever time working together... Hopefully it certainly will not be the last because it was a fabulous experience from my perspective. :)

The communications I received from Fotostrobe were excellent from the start: he was clear and concise in his messages - as well as swift to reply detailing what he wanted to cover/the location details and all the relevant points that enable you, as a model, to be organised not only for your shoot together but for your tour in general. I found him very helpful and accommodating with a very enthusiastic approach to the forthcoming work which gave out a tremendously positive vibe before we had even met/kick-started the shoot session itself! It is always a good sign when you feel confident about a shoot at this stage without a shadow of a doubt, thus; I must thank Fotostrobe dearly for his wonderfully organised pre-shoot "comm's" which made my life a total breeze in the planning of my (very long!) tour.

The professionalism of this lovely gent was utterly perfect! He had arranged a studio that he was very familiar with - but one that was also splendidly well equipped to accommodate models. There was a comfortable private changing area for outfits and makeup alternations, tea/coffee facilities for mid-set refreshments, ample space for creative lighting setups and background assembly... Fabulous space! Fotostrobe was considerate and respectful, he allowed me to get myself settled and sorted and then we chatted together about the concepts we would tackle so we were both on the same page from the initial meeting and building the foundations for that valuable team-flow. He has a great deal of appreciation for the work that models contribute to shoots, and though he approaches a shoot with a good visual head on his shoulders relative to what he wants to achieve and can offer direction for lovely moments/quality lighting falling on the subject... He values the work of a model and the input that they bring to a shoot and subsequently allows the model to flow with their poses to get into the creative groove and work with the photographer to deliver the images. We gelled very quickly into the shoot - from the first set of pictures and worked fabulously as a team. As we reviewed the images we were getting, the camera was clearly packed with "good uns" and this was pretty much the story from beginning to the end of the session. Teamwork peaked very high indeed and Fotostrobe made the atmosphere a very pleasant one indeed where we chatted plenty, bounced ideas off of each other and coordinated creativity on the artistic level to nail some genuinely beautiful pictures. A very lovely person to work with indeed - and someone I would most definitely recommend to other models. :)

An excellent photographer too - clear talent in lighting, composing and capturing images with a true beauty and style to them. We rolled through several different "looks" throughout the shoot and Fotostrobe took it all in his stride to show exemplary care and attention to execute each one very carefully, giving the best possible finish he could to his work.

Credit given from all angles! I really look forward to working with this wonderful photographer again in the future! :)

My 2nd shoot with Fotostrobe. And again nothing but praise. Always has interesting concepts for poses and styles.

Very relaxed and laid back approach to shooting, and always willing to try your own ideas.

Had a great first shoot with fotostrobe. We had been chatting for a while and finally managed to sort a shoot. Plenty of pre-shoot comms, he had a list of shots to work through and then we worked more collaboratively with some ideas of mine. A really nice guy, puts you instantly at ease and well recommended.

Hope to collaborate again in the near future

I worked with the lovely FS at The hacienda alongside another model Anna Rose.

FS's pre comms were excellent and we arranged our shoot easily with no problems!

On the day, FS turned up on time and had a plan for our shoot, it was so helpful to know exactly what we were doing and we worked through FS's ideas no problem.

He was a gentleman, professional and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any model :)

A second shoot with Fotostrobe down in London, and another success. As before he's well prepared with excellent pre-shoot communications. He came with a detailed shoot list, full of excellent ideas—we managed to work through just about all of them and have come out with some great results as a result. He's diligent, polite and a gentleman. Recommended.

I had a wonderful experience;

As a photographer he was well prepared, friendly and conveyed his vision and desired outcome with ease and fluidity!

It was a pleasure to work in such a fast paced environment with constant feedback and positive critique!

I am eagerly anticipating the results of our collaboration and would gladly team up with this photographer again!

Highly recommended to new and established models alike!

I worked with Fotostrobe on my Scotland tour last month- we had three hours in the RPS studio in Edinburgh.

On my arrival I was instantly talked through what the plan was going to be for the three hours and we spent the time working through the ideas list, ticking off each idea as we went.

There was a lot of focus on a dance theme (I did mention to FS I wasn't a dancer during the shoot) but we worked our way around it, trying my best and I was very pleased with the images we created!

I hope FS has success in the competitions/ salons he enters our images into and I look forward to hopefully seeing more of the results one day. Thank you and hope to work with you again next time I am up in Scotland.

Our third shoot and it was just as successful as the previous two. As always Fotostrobe worked hard, having prepared and put in a lot of thought into the images before the shoot. I am looking forward to seeing the results, and having something very different to add to my portfolio. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fotostrobe, and I would hope to work with him again at some point.

Had a great first shoot with Fotostrobe and would absolutely recommend him as a photographer.

Directed the shoot clearly and with patience and very professionally, making sure I was happy at all stages. Got the shots he was after but was also making sure we captured anything I was after in particular too.

Great communication before and after the shoot, was very flexible and open to discussing ideas.

Looking forward to seeing the results, and very much hope to work with Fotostrobe again soon.

Just done a shoot with Fotostrobe. Went really well FS has clear direction on shoot and kept the energy/ideas flowing. As I am new to it and portfolio building I let them take the lead and was impressed by what we were getting!

Great comms before and on shoot, great ideas and would definitely work with them again but also highly recommend to others.

Had a great first time shoot with Fotostrobe. He came with many ideas, but gave plenty of freedom with my own ideas, and good direction when I needed it.

100% recommend and hope we can work together again!

Dylan Tudor

Fotostrobe is excellent to work with. His pre-shoot communications were thorough and detailed, and he came armed with a both comprehensive set of ideas to try during the shoot, and an open mind for more collaboration. He's thoughtful, creative and professional—recommended!
