Had an enjoyable and productive second shoot with Colin.... We visited really cool locations and had plenty of time, nothing felt rushed so I was always comfortable and relaxed, and enjoyed viewing some good looking pictures, hurray!

Colin's attitude towards models is so lovely, really helpful and supportive, much appreciated :>)

Looking forward to our next adventure :>)

Just had my second shoot with Colin and it was an absolute pleasure :)

Pre-shoot communications were great, he was professional, great company and had some cool ideas for the shoot. We spent the day in various locations on the Isle of Wight and thankfully the weather was on our side.

Looking forward to seeing the images and to our next shoot :D

I worked with Colin for the third time now on a recent workshop on Dartmoor.Despite three days of very hard going, difficult locations and terain, and changing conditions, as usual Colins personality and sense of humour was infectious, even after some major celebrating, and we got some fantastic shots!!!!

Thanks again for a fantastic and memorable few days!! :)

Colin came to a weekend workshop I ran down in Devon. Colin is a really nice guy, friendly and with a "can do" attitude. He was keen to learn everything he could over the weekend, and I believe he went away with a lot of new knowledge and more to add to his skill set.

Polite and respectful, it was great to have Colin with us. I'd certainly work with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to work with him.

Well I had my first shoot with Colin today, and it went quick! The atmosphere was fantastic!

Colin was thoughtful and respectful throughout the shoot, and as it was my first implied shoot he did everything to make me feel comfortable and at ease!

His communication before the shoot was brilliant and every detail was spoken about so there were no surprises on the day! We had a few breaks in between sets which was nice.

As we shot from Colin's home, I can say that it is a lovely setting and place to shoot from with lots of different areas for different images. It was lovely!

Would honestly recommend shooting with Colin if you get the chance :)

I had my 3rd shoot with Colin in a totally new surrounding in a studio(Studio2) in the I.O.W.

We tried a new style of shooting and have been totally blown away with the results.

Colin continues to be a favourite photographer of mine, and his communication is second to none.

Anyone who gets the chance to shoot with Colin should 100% be honoured, and feel happy about being "one of the chosen one's "

I had shoot number two with Colin and it was very brillo!

Colin choose an awesome location for us to use, it was the underground part of the diving museum in Gosport which suited the themes that we were doing very well. We were able to fit in several different ideas including some grungy art nudes, rock chic and a trash the dress. Colin was well prepared, knew exactly what he wanted and directed me very well. He was also very considerate, baring in mind the place we were shooting was pretty cold he allowed me to have enough breaks.

In all this was a pressure free, fun, relaxed shoot. I would happily recommend Colin and I would definitely work with him again.

For our second shoot I took Colin to a baby waterfall local to me in preparation for our trip to Devon. Despite getting to gribs with a new lens, dissaproving dog walkers and constantly changing light, Colin was an absolute star, rolling up his trousers and paddling and climbing to get the best shots. Thanks again for yet another awesome day and really looking forward to Devon now!!! :)

I had a very laid-back 2 hour shoot with Colin this morning. He kindly picked me up from my home and dropped me back again, and we achieved lots of different sets in the short time. Colin had given me a good idea of what he wanted so I could bring what I needed, and he was open to my suggestions of ways to use his lovely home as a location. The images I saw on the back of the camera look good so I look forward to seeing the finished results. I look forward to working with Colin again and recommend him to others.

I can't wait for our next shoot, Colin comes highly recommended by me :)

2nd Shoot with Colin, and this time at his Place in Gosport.

I had shot with Colin a month or so before hand and he was my 2nd shoot. And was eager to shoot again.

This shoot went really well, and far surpassed my expectations, we went through outfits very quickly as we work both very well together!

Colin has a great eye for finer details as well as being a fabulous host and a joy to be around.

So much so we have already booked another shoot!

If Colin asks to shoot with you, be flattered and jump at the chance!

Thanks again!

I had the pleasure of working with Colin today and what can I say? ... It was good fun!

We did several different sets including boudoir, nudes and a creative fetish theme. We took enough breaks in-between sets so we still managed to work at a relaxed pace even though we were productive. It felt like a two way street, he suggested ideas throughout and allowed me to have creative input. I free flowed poses but he also gave me little bits of direction when it was needed.

I had a laugh working with Colin and I felt very relaxed throughout the shoot.

I would love to work with him again, we discussed the possibility of doing a location shoot when I'm in the area next.

I highly recommend him to all!

Well that was fun! Had my first shoot with Colin today which went really well. His pre comms were excellent, so we both knew what we wanted and had a rough plan. But the trouble with plans is that sometimes they may as well be ripped up! We started off well, but then bounced different ideas and sets around and didn't stop for two hours that went in a flash! The good thing is that we will be working together again-can't wait. Thanks, Colin, for a really fun time and all your valuable direction. Highly recommended!

There is so much to say about my time with this wonderful warm character that it's hard to know where to start! So, I give you....

The Condensed Colin Adams: A Model's Guide

Character: Happy-go-lucky, spontaneous, and spirited. Full of joy and enthusiasm, warmly welcoming, gentlemanly and professional.

Habitat: A clean, calm environment in which you can tell that the owner eats, sleeps and breathes model photography. Now available to view in his album 'Principal Sets'. Includes a comfortable place for travelling models to stay if they need to!

Diet: cigarettes and hot drinks in constant supply, happy to provide models' preferred beverages etc. Meals may be taken at fine establishments on location.

Working method: gives an outline of an idea and space to negotiate and include model's suggestions; once shooting, lets a model flow at her own pace and gives the tiniest hints of direction if necessary plus lots of encouragement and praise. Ready to capture quirky out-takes for a giggle, never too serious. Frequent breaks between speedy sets, as he knows when he's got what he's looking for and will usually get that in a couple of dozen shots.

Shoots styles: Main experience in the tasteful end of glamour - raunchy and erotic stuff but never seedy (check out those milk bath shots!); but also willing and able to have a go at almost anything, from art nude to camp character material.

tl;dr? Work with Colin and you are guaranteed a shoot that will leave you smiling for days. I for one can't wait to work with him again and am encouraging my girlfriend to go there as strongly as I can!

I had a great shoot today with Colin. He picked me up from the station and we headed to his home where we spent a lot of the shoot. Colin made me feel relaxed and welcome and the time we had booked flew by. He had some specific shots that he wanted to capture and his direction and explanations in trying to achieve these shots was fab. He was also happy to let me pose freely and gave me feedback accordingly. His precomms were excellent and I was happy that I knew the details of the shoot as well as what we were going to try to produce. Colin was great to have a good old natter with over a coffee and was good fun to work with as well. I would certainly recommend him and look forward to hopefully working with him again soon! :)

Thanks for an enjoyable shoot Colin and I look forward to seeing more of the results!
