Had the pleasure of shooting with Aesthetic Nude last Saturday and although we were battling the dying light as it turned into darkness . I was really impressed with the outcome and how quickly we managed to set everything up to get some amazing images. We did a short and snappy fire bowl set ! I was surrounded by colourful flames. Definitely one of my hardest sets I’ve shot due to the heat and smells the fire gives off but it was worth it :) he is a lovely guy , very conversational and would recommend

What a delight.

From the initial conversing with Rob of us both sharing our admiration of each other’s work despite being at different ends of the photographic world in styles, Rob demonstrated wonderful communication. I knew I wanted to work with him despite being a non nude model.

I lucked out on the chance that Rob wanted to experiment with some new kit he had and was willing to work at my level of only clothed modelling. I leapt at this chance given the exciting opportunity. A few messages and a phone call later, we had an exciting shoot planned.

From start to finish, Rob ensured I felt comfortable and safe. He was entirely respectful and mindful of the levels I feel comfortable working at. Not only this, he provided endless knowledge and explanation surrounding his cameras, how they work and what he hoped to create using them. It was wonderful to be given such insight, feeling like I was gaining new knowledge as we worked together.

Letting me review and reflect upon on the shots as we worked in a serene and magical feeling location sourced all by the knowledge of Rob. It was a truly wonderful experience and felt somewhat of a blessing to be given the Opportunity to work with such a talented photographer at my level.

Would recommend working with this chap to everyone and anyone should they be given the opportunity. I shall keep my fingers crossed I get to do so again.

Had my 3rd shoot with rob but first time in his camper!

Rob found me when I was lost in the middle of nowhere in the Lake District, without directions, he’s that clever, and he wasn’t anywhere near as annoyed about trying to find out where I was as me!

Rob is a mixture of scarily intelligent brain and free spirit creative! We get on well as we share the latter part, somewhat!

I felt very safe in his camper and even though it’s small the room on the roof is very spacious and has a nice skylight window when you’re laying in bed.

As long as you’re not claustrophobic and not too uptight then you will enjoy the experience like I did! The Lake District is the most beautiful place I’d never been to before, and Rob helped me see it and feature in it in the most natural beautiful way!

Another fantastic shoot with Rob!

I'll never get tired of shooting with Rob - he's full of brilliant ideas and locations and always goes out of his way to get the best shot. He's always respectful and very much a gentleman, making sure I'm comfortable at all times and well looked after. He's professional and very talented at what he does.

Amazing first shoot since lockdown. Looking forward to many more to come :)

Thank you!

My first shoot with Rob was great. He is a fantastic photographer who really pays attention to detail. He is a perfectionist and it goes to show in his work. I feel like the photos speak for themselves. I would highly recommend all models to shoot with him, he’s extremely hard working and goes out of his way to get the best shots. He is very professional and made me feel at ease from the get go. He’s extremely helpful and such a down to earth guy. I would 100% recommended.

Rob is lovely. I've shot with him on two occasions so far and I'm sure we will most definitely shoot again. He's a very skilled photographer, knowing the best angles and lighting to compliment his model to her full potential. I got my images back the same day, Rob is very keen to crack on and edit the photos to a very high standard, I was blown away by the images. On a personal level, Rob is super friendly, caring and wants to make sure his model is at her most comfortable at all times. I would 1000% recommend this photographer.

Rob is a lovely man and great to shoot with.

I’m not going to lie, Rob is very special photographer to me and he is a very special person. We already had 3 amazing, interesting shoots in the past half a year ( Two in Spain and one in UK/ Devon) and all of them was full of creativity, fun and fantastic material.

Rob is very special photographer to me because he make me realise that actually I can do nude modeling, that I’m actually very beautiful on that shots and brave enough to follow him to his unique and breathtaking locations.

He is in between of crazy genius and caring person who always here for you if you need anything. Always with bags of good banters which warms you up or just relax you during a shoot. Which is great! He is very skilled photographer ( 20 years of experience say a lot by it self)and as a editor he is good too. Sharp mind and full of creative ideas.

Big honor for me and always a pleasure to work with Rob. Looking forward to our next adventure.

Of course highly recommended!

I went on a photographic holiday to Spain with Rob, three other models and another photographer Finn. I also traveled from where I live with rob since we are local to each other. It was so much fun all the way through. We went to some unbelievable locations, I did some 1-1 shoots with rob and some duos with other models too. It was just a really amazing experience so I would recommend you go if you get invited.

Thanks for a good trip 😁

I have been on numerous holiday shootings with Rob over last year, and my best recommendation is that! After my trip to Almeria in September 2018, we went back to Almeria in April, Fuerteventura in June and Almeria again in October; two of these trips it was one to one and he is complete gentleman.

In this time he really looked after me; when I needed a coffee we stopped and got a coffee, when I had already eaten my packed lunch and was hungry again, he gave me his, when I was tired or too cold he stopped the shootings and when I missed my flight home (long story) he turned around, came back to get me and booked replacement flight for the next day.

I really love shots we have made together and I want to make many more. He is a master of sunshine and also of chemistry and fire. If you get a chance to shoot with him, you must do it.

I shot with Rob on a beach in Devon and the shoot went perfectly! He picked an amazing location, the weather couldn’t of been better and the photos are unbelievably good! I can’t wait to add some to my port! Rob has a great sense of humour and we got on extremely well, he was very helpful in pre comms and on the day. If you get a chance to work with Rob then your in for a great shoot! He works with a Mamiya camera as well as digital so that was fun working with both! Rob comes highly recommended to every model out there :)

I had my very first nude shoot with Rob on the 25th of July, where he picket me up and drove to one of the Lake Districts beautiful location! I was a bit nervous, curious, excited, at the beginning because it was my very first nude work.

I've chosen him, because I've seen his work here and I felt he is the right guy for this type of shoot. And I couldn't have been more right.

He is prepared for everything, I'm telling you for everything!

Make up, eyelashes, mirror whatever you need or forgotten he will have it, he takes care of you really well, makes sure you would feel comfortable at all times! He was incredibly friendly, helpful, chatty and I felt totally at ease and relaxed at all times, (relaxed and comfortable with my nudity that I didn't wanted to get dressed at the end :))) and also his knowledge and a passion to get the best from his models is just great, also gave clear and instructive directions when needed to ensure we'll have the best images. I am a beginner, so yeah! You will get fabulous pictures for your portfolio, because the pictures he takes are mind blowing, honestly! Rob is one of the most professional photographers I have met, I would highly recommend you to work with him if you get the opportunity and I look forward to doing so again myself in the near future, Thanks a lot Rob!

Rob was absolutely amazing to work with!

We had two days of shooting in the Lakes, in which he was prepared for pretty much anything, making sure I had everything I needed for shooting nude, whether hot or cold (in which it was mostly boiling!) Also he was kind enough to trek all the way back to grab his sun cream to save me, after I was silly enough to forget to put any on, on a boiling hot day - eek, thank you!

He was a complete gentleman the whole time and was great to be around and chat to about all sorts, and of course he's an amazingly skilled photographer with tons of knowledge to get the best images we could.

Very highly recommended, and very much looking forward to working with him again!

Thank you :)

Rob first contacted me on the 10th July, and we were shooting on the 15th July! Looking at his extensive portfolio and his references. I immediately wanted to work with him. His images are amazing. Pre-shoot communications was great.

I had the best time working in the Lake District shooting waterfall scenes, Fire bowls and my fire breathing shots. Hiking to these amazing locations with my rucksack and walking boots. It was a great experience in which I would defiantly repeat.

Rob was such a thoughtful gentleman looking after me throughout the day and into the night. He cooked me a curry and rice in his camper van. His famous giraffe blanket came out as well as it was getting a little chilly. Looking forward to his Spaghetti Bolognaise next time. Staying in his camper van overnight I had the best sleep and he treated me to a full English breakfast after our morning shoot.

Rob puts 110% into his creative images and he will direct you if something does not look right. For example, pointing your toes or hand placement.I have seen a few unedited images already and "Oh my days!" i am speechless! I really enjoyed his story’s and his intelligence knows no bounds. If you are lucky enough to work with Rob, please give him the upmost respect and courteousness that he deserves. Until time.

After 8 months of communicating and preparing finally we had the chance to work together with Rob, when I decided to visit Lake District for a few days.

Rob has a great personality, he is a gentleman and makes you 100% comfortable while shooting with him or spend time together, travelling to different locations.

His portfolio is really impressive, if you can, do not miss the chance to work with him! Also he makes sure with his professionalism and maximalism that he delivers the perfect images for you! No matter if digital or film camera!

I just came back from a brilliant 3 days shoot with Rob at Lake District area.

A waterfall shoot had been one of my bucket list shoots for a while and finally my dream came true! When I saw Rob's portfolio, I fell in love with it and thought I would love to work with him at his waterfall locations. The water in his images is gorgeous!!!

Pre-shoot communication was perfect and I packed for three days, but my rucksack was compact as Rob allowed me to use his camouflage zipped dress, warm jacket, bath towel and his famous giraffe blanket to warm me up during the shoot...which means almost all the time for three days.

He picked me up from Darlington and drove me to the accommodation where I stayed for 2 nights. We drove around in his Mazda Bongo to the various shoot locations, had nice suppers...healthy chicken and salad, chicken tikka, several cups of coffee in his Mazda Bongo.

He is known to always care for his models, is good at giving direction for the perfect shot, is very creative with a huge knowledge about many topics and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and spending the 3 days with him.

The images looked gorgeous behind the camera and I cannot wait to see the final images!!!

Thank you for the awesome shoot, Rob. I am looking forward to working with him again.

Highly highly recommended!!!

It was my first time meeting Rob and after months of arranging a date in accordance to the weather, it was so lovely to finally meet him. Rob is confident, chatty and a gentleman who was ensuring I felt safe and comfortable around him, in which I did the whole time.

Rob's photography skills are excellent as shown from his impressive portfolio, but also him allowing me to have a peak at the camera after we have done a few images. I really appreciated this to see how the images were coming out :)

Rob is great at giving direction when needed as he has an eye for detail and knows what he wants to achieve from the images. He is excellent at choosing an ideal location to place models in an interesting natural surrounding.

I can't wait to see the final edits of what we did that day!

Highly recommend!

It was a dream of mine to model abroad and Rob helped me achieve it! I have just spent a week in the sun, in a large beautiful house with a pool in the Spanish countryside with Rob, Finn and two other lovely models.

I was set to arrive the day before Rob and the other models and stay in accommodation that Finn had arranged in Torrevieja. However just before I was due to fly, Finn’s car broke down and it had to go to the garage to be repaired, and he was unable to collect me. Rob was calmness itself, he booked me a hotel near the airport and told me how to get a taxi there. Although it was my first time abroad on my own, everything ran smoothly, I had a great sleep and the following day Rob collected me in the hire car with all the other models and ALL the baggage, but we all managed to squeeze everything in for the journey to Almeria.

Because Finn was delayed as he waited for his car to be fixed, initially there were three models and only Rob. He did his best to photograph us and keep us fed and entertained, and I got some time to shoot with Fay Noir as an additional photographer.

Rob took me to some amazing places and there was a fabulous atmosphere in the house and there was no problem with me having a half day in bed when I was poorly. All in all it was a great week and I had a huge amount of fun and some brilliant images.
