Had my third shoot with Nigel yesterday. What a lovely man he is, such a laugh! Very professional as always, keen eye for detail and knows what he wants within pictures. Very much looking forward to seeing some :) x

I have worked with Nigel in his studio in Newport on several occasions and have always had a fantastic time! He is kind enough to always meet me at the train station and is very generous with snacks and tea.

Nigel is warm, accommodating, encouraging, and creates sublime images. His #1 concern is making sure his models are happy and spend their time in his studio feeling like a superstar.

Nigel contacted me for an experimental video shoot he was trying out with the help of a friend. Whenever I visit his studio I am always greeted warmly and with a nice cup of tea. Nigel is great company with tonnes of ideas and it was so great to be trying new things out. The studio is great to work in and we also did some things outside to save the studio getting covered in water!

It was a great shoot and I'll always jump at the chance to work with Nigel or at his studio, he already knows I recommend his studio to everyone who asks!

Thanks for a great day :) x

After some fabulous pre-comms, I got to shoot with the wonderful Nigel at his Newport studio & what a shoot it was!

He is a truly lovely individual, who is professional and very knowledgeable in the studio, using the lights in various different ways and to perfection, whilst he directed beautifully, bringing his fantastic ideas to life.....his awesome way with the camera blew me away and we even did some video which was fun (and messy!) - no question, I definitely will be coming back to shoot if he'll have me!

I recommend this amazingly fun and creative photographer to all, he will blow your socks off :)

Nigel is a wonderfully accomodating and sweet man as well as fantastic photographer! We had a rather hectic shoot due to logistics and locations but held it together perfectly, generating such wonderfully flattering images too! Extremely highly reccomended, should you get the chance. I would very much love to work with Nigel again.

Well what can I say,i had one hell of an experience with Nigel the legend painter,I was late unfortunately due to uncontrollable circumstances :(,and Nigel was so understanding,picked me up from the train station with our Mua for the afternoon :D got back to the studio and set to work,the shoot we had done was out of poor Nigel's comfort zone but I believe we have some great images hopefully :D,laughed a lot,and just enjoyed,I'm not exactly the easiest person to work with (can be crazy) and ideas can be a bit different shall we say,but Nigel was ever so accommodating and took my craziness with a pinch of salt and carried on :D

Would I recommend Nigel hell yeah I would

He's a diamond I just hope he can forgive me for being OTT ;) haha

Thank you Nigel your a star x

Nigel is such good fun to be around!

I had 4 hours working at his studio in the morning before our shoot together, he picked me up from the station and I instantly felt at ease in his company. Such a lovely guy with a wicked sense of humour and just great fun to be around!

Our shoot itself was really cool and I absolutely love some of the images we achieved :)

Without a doubt recommend him and hope to work with him again!

Well yesterday I had a really amazing shoot with Nigel! So lovely from the minute we met, and I felt right at home when we got to the studio! We were able to sit, drink tea and chat about shoot plans and various other things. Nigel has built up a good body of work so he has many ideas and is a very confident, easy going photographer. The hours flew by, and I think we got lots of great images from a few different sets. I would jump at the chance to work with Nigel again... very professional, funny and just AWESOME! I can't wait for our next shoot, and to see the final results. Recommended? Of course! thanks for a wonderful day kind sir :)

Well.. where do I start?

Nigel is a fantastic photographer, He had soo many ideas for different styles and poses, Nigel is polite, definitely a mini comedian! Welcoming, Friendly and Professional.

Nigel arranged a make-up artist to attend the shoot and she was brilliant!

I am pleased we arranged this photoshoot together!

Through having this photo shoot, Nigel taught me some modelling tips/poses as I'm very new to this industry! I'd highly recommend Nigel! And I'm looking forward to our next shoot together! Hopefully see you soon! Thank you!

I worked with Nigel along with another photographer; malcolmbyrne and model Sam Louise. We worked together in various locations in Wales and had such a laugh together! It's impossible not to have fun with Nigel; he is very witty, sincere, down to earth and great company!

The weather was very kind to us and although we had an amusing time in the car trying to find the locations together ( ;) ) we all got on like a house on fire! I was in stitches at various points and it was a very enjoyable day. I had a smile on my face all the car journey home thinking of Nigel landing on his arse (?!). We also had time for tea at a lovely tea shop, what more could a model want ;) highly recommended and really hope we work together again :) X

Nigel is the perfect host, the perfect gentleman and really the perfect photographer - he has a great energy that enthuses and inspires whilst shooting, all the time trying not to giggle in every shot at his sense of humour. He is fun and vibrant, generous, trustworthy and genuinely goes out of his way to be helpful. I love the images he took of me -- I even bought his camera -- one he was selling, haha -- don't worry, but he has even offered me help with it. Highly recommended by me and I would work with him again in a heartbeat, oh yes :)

I have had the pleasure of working with Nigel on three seperate shoots at Studio99 in Newport. He is so likable that you can't help but have a laugh and the shoot time seems to fly by.

His superb studio and photography skills have produced some great images not to mention his great editing skills as well. Hoping to shoot with him again real soon.

Thanks Nigel, put the kettle on!

I've worked with Nigel recently, as expected he was his lovely bubbly self that I had missed. He was very organised and arranged for Leia a Make up artist to come and work her magic.

he is a great photographer with alot of ideas and a comfy dressing room full of variety :D

As well and giving me helpful direction at times he let me try out all of my ideas and outfits I wanted to as well as his own ideas. There was no pressure just some lovely company and coffee whilst creating some beautiful photos that I absoultey love.
