I had the pleasure of working with John at Hallam Mill studio during my recent Manchester tour. His precommunication skills were excellent. He is such a lovely, down to earth person as well as an amazing photographer. We got on so well and the time flew by! We created many fantastic images. John comes very highly recommended by me and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.

I was so chuffed and excited when John booked on to my model day at the Hacienda in London! Having shot with him before years ago and loved his work, I knew he would have a brilliant creative eye to produce fantastic images at this gorgeous venue.

He was fab to work with once again, very easy going, kind, considerate, collaborative, we bounced ideas off each other, and breezed through the shoot, making a load of stunning, varied images I absolutely adore!!

A joy to spend time with and a really awesome photographer! Very happily recommended :-D

I have worked with John a handful of times now and always find him a pleasure to work with; great comms pre-shoot, and I have already received edited photos back. Lovely guy, highly recommended :)

I had my first shoot with with John at the weekend. We shot at my house as well as a local location. It was great to meet and shoot with John. He was chatty throughout making the shoot super relaxed which is how I like to work. His beautiful partner Harley Monster came along and shot duo with me for most of the shoot. We all got along like a house on fire and have already started discussing our next get together/shoot!

Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my first shoot with John yesterday... quite the experience.

Part of me is amazed we got any shots at all, given that neither one of us shuts our traps for more than 30 seconds at a time, although this is my preferred way to shoot of course :)

John has a great energy about him which helped me immediately relax, i really like the diverse styles he enjoys working in and he sees great angles and creates mood really well.

I think there is plenty more potential for future collaborations and we're already discussing our second venture.

Fab shoot with John the other day :D

Love working with John, have worked together a few times.

Always amazing results achieved.

Really easy to get along with, creates a relaxed and professional shooting environment and makes the shoot fun and creative with angles.

Already have our next booked tomorrow on location.

Thanks John 5 stars ***** as always.

Shooting with this awesome photographer was an absolute dream!

John is seriously epic....

He is a true professional whilst still with a wicked sense of humour intact (one that kept me giggling throughout the shoot) and a stunning way with his camera, using the available light with amazing techniques that blew me away - angles and perspective are part of this wonderful individuals design, using the layout and furniture as props and part of the scenes beautifully!

John is a super cool photographer who is so very talented at capturing concepts and brings that fabulous personality to make the shoot a bloody spectacular one :)

I cannot recommend him enough to y'all, this is one epic photographer who will blow your mind!

I had a half day shoot with John today (we have shot many times before- but it was the first one for a long while) :)

It was great to catch up and the time flew by! We worked our way through lots of different ideas at my place and got some really great images :)

Thanks for coming all the way down to work with me again, John :) Can't wait to see the results! :)

Had a brilliant shoot with John at my house. John sent me ideas of the ideas he was looking to shoot before we met, which was great as then I had a good idea. John is completely lovely, relaxed, easy to get on with and experimental. We shot a variety of styles which were all totally different. I loved each one and it was certainly different for me to do a bit of acting eek! :D John took some fab images and was happy to show me them as we went, which is always useful. The shoot was a total joy and alot of fun and John is not only a pleasure but also respectful & professional . The images I have seen from the shoot afterwards look amazing ! Highly Recommended and thanks a million for a great shoot and coming all the way up to mine :D

I worked with John at Hallam Mill in Manchester for the day. I had previously worked with him before on a during a photography training session. I was really looking forward to our shoot because I knew that we could create some fab images. John did not disappoint, he was is so friendly, warm, funny and open meaning I felt really comfortable and could be really creative :) I think he took some awesome images of me and I can't wait to shoot with him again.

Highly recommended,

I had a great shoot with John yesterday, using a great location, which was perfect for the style of shoot we shot. The weather was just right and we worked through some cool ideas, using natural lighting, capturing great effects, within the structure.

John is a very professional, funny, chatty and sound fella, who takes pride in his photography.

John is definitely recommended by me :-)

Felicia Grace

Just had my first shoot with John. We did location first which I didn't think was for me but it was absolutely brilliant, the weather was great, he had fantastic ideas and chose a perfect location. Then we went to his home studio and had another great set there shooting boudoir type images which again he has great ideas for!

It was a pleasure to work with him and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Thanks again!

I had the pleasure of shooting one on one with John and it was an absolute pleasure.

John is great to get on with, really friendly, funny and the shoots are really relaxed, professional, and basically top notch.

I've seen some of the results which are immense and I'm so happy with them.

I can't wait for the next time as I know the results then will be just as good if not better as he has come so far.

Should you be lucky enough to get a chance to shoot with John, jump at it. He won't disappoint. Highly recommended by me :D 5 Stars. Thank you John xx

Zara Watson

I worked with John as part of a workshop. He is an absolute pleasure to work with ...easy to get on with, pleasant, funny, relaxed, and a true gentleman. I could tell within minutes of meeting John that he was a lovely genuine man and that we would have a fun shoot and thus we did (y) !

I would definitely recommend John without any hesitation and look forward to hopefully working together again in the future :D

Thanks a million :D x

Another epic shoot with John yesterday! As usual time flew by and we got some fab images, so much so that when looking through on the computer to mark my favourites from the day I seriously struggled!!

We worked on a few differently styles and I really don't envy him having to pick the final images, really happy with what we got together!

On top of getting great images he is such a hoot to spend time with as well! You won't be over worked, have top banter and a good natter during the shoot! And he bought chinese xD Can't get much better than that really haha!

Thanks again for another fab shoot, I obviously highly recommend him and look forward to next time!!

Harley Monster

I had my first shoot with John on Tuesday and can definitely recommend him. He was friendly, professional, efficient and great to work with. Communication prior to and during the shoot was great and there was a relaxed atmosphere throughout with John both welcoming ideas and offering suggestions for all aspects of the shoot.

I would definitely like to work with John again in the future.
