Had the pleasure of working with Syd for the first time this past weekend. He has so many fabulous ideas and knows exactly what he's looking for in the shot and in the outfits too, he arrived with some fantastic props that we used for some of the images.

Pre communications were great and made packing outfits very easy, lovely location too which Syd very kindly let me stay at for the night (extremely grateful for that as I travelled a fair way).

The shoot flew by as we got on really well talking about our experiences in the industry over the years. Working together felt very easy as Syd gave great direction for poses and knew his lighting perfectly. Highly recommended from me! Thank you Syd for a fabulous shoot and for your kindness!

Syd is wonderful to organise a shoot with. He helped find a suitable airbnb and committed to a booking, plenty of mood board images to show the type of shoot he was aiming for. Turned up at agreed time and brought many items to support the mood board. Throughout the shoot Syd is super chatty, so many stories and experiences to tell, everything is very relaxed. Highly recommend

Thanks Syd really appreciate your time and effort as always

Zeus photoshoot

Syd shot in my home studio with Teila, during this model’s short visit in the UK in February 2024. Syd is a very pleasant and courteous photographer and I am very happy to see him in my home studio, creating excellent new work with models that I am hosting. The models he works with are always happy with Syd. Highly recommended to models and studios.

Teila

I had my first shoot with Syd in Zeu’s home studio.

He came in with lots of energy, lovely personality and many great ideas.

He sent me a moodboard beforehand so I had clear idea about what are we going to do, which is very handy so I knew what to bring with me.

Syd is very chatty, friendly person with who I had lots of fun and great time!

Our images are just stunning and I’m super happy with them.

I can highly recommend Syd and thank you again for the great time .

I had the pleasure of a first shoot with Syd which took place at an air bnb apartment last Sunday. Syd is a highly organised and committed photographer with excellent pre-shoot communication. He had sent me a great number of inspirational images beforehand. The apartment was perfect for what we needed and was well furnished and offered plenty of opportunities for fashion, boudoir and lingerie.

Syd is very friendly and easy going, meeting me at my car on arrival. He first told me he has a tendency to talk a lot during shoots, which is no problem for me as I much prefer a good natter during a shoot! The shoot was incredibly relaxed and we captured a range of images starting from portrait and implied and moving into more themed fashion. Syd's styling was brilliant and is something you don't find very often with many photographers. He had brought an array of simple and essential items including a silk shirt, blazer and dungarees and has a great eye for outift combinations.

Syd worked incredibly well with capturing so many shoot opportunities with the apartment, even when the daylight had gone completely! Having already seen Syd's fantastic portfolio of stunning images, it was no surprise that the first couple of edits he has already prepared are flawlessly beautify; So much so that a couple of photographers have been in touch just to say how amazing they are. Aside from a great level of professionalism, Syd is a warm and engaging person and someone who is an absolute pleasure to get to know. It was also a treat to learn about his side passion for fragrances.. Which is no wonder, as he smelt sublime too!

Thank you Syd for a truly enjoyable and memorable day. I enjoyed every moment and hope very much to have an opportunity to shoot again with you in future 😊 x

Syd was very chatty, friendly, and professional. I had a great shoot with him yesterday at A Scorpion Residence studio.

He came on time and gave directions well but also let me pose freely too. We have brilliant results. He's very calm, chilled, and had lovely smelling perfume on ;)

I hope to shoot with him again. Highly recommended!

Another studio day that I hosted with a wonderful model (this time with AJ) and another visit from one of my favourite clients and supporter of my shoot spaces.

As always, studio and facilities were treated respectfully along with his model of course.

AJ seemed to really enjoy shooting with Syd and I've seen many awesome looking images off the back of his camera, to know his shoot was another successful one.

Happy to fully recommend to all, yet again! Many thanks - Lee :-)

Angel Black UK

I worked with Syd again during my studio day at A Scorpion Residence and from his initial message onwards I knew it was going to be epic! His pre shoot comms were excellent and he communicated clearly with me what he wanted to achieve, as well as outfit ideas which helped the packing process immensely!

Syd was polite and professional throughout and we had a really good laugh and chat too. His ideas are creative and unique, making the most out of the venue. The back of camera shots were fantastic and I look forward to seeing the edits.

It was a pleasure to work with him and I'd highly recommend him.
