This was our sixth time shooting together and it definitely will not be the last. Pre comms are always amazing, concise, and professional. Ant is honestly the best person to work with, he is the friendliest person you will ever have the pleasure to meet, he makes sure you are comfortable, and food and drinks will be provided (which is always greatly appreciated) and is respectful and courteous. Ant had some props and outfits all ready for me when I got to his studio, we discussed some cosplay/Halloween outfits before I got there and he managed to get all the props, and they fit the characters very well. We always end up taking hundreds of images because the shoot always goes so well and I always have fun. I am very excited to see the final images. Would highly recommend to togs and models alike. Thankyou for a great shoot!

Really love shooting with Ant. I think this was our 8th time creating together and I appreciate his eye for detail, and attentiveness to what we are collaborating on He is as always, respectful, kind, polite and punctual. A very talented photographer who gives awesome direction as well as being happy to work with you.

My body has changed in recent years due to health issues and it has taken me some time to get used to posing this version of myself and I am grateful that I can trust him to advise on poses when I draw a blank. He is comfortable to be around and a joy to work with. Thanks again for a great shoot and for entertaining my wild ideas :D

I worked with Ant on our 2nd photoshoot together last night and may I just say - I am blown away! What a fantastic guy! How professional, respectful but most importantly absolutely brilliant photographer! The images we produces last night are stunning (judging by the fact I only saw pre-edits on Anthony’s camera I have a feeling the final results will blow my mind!!).

I love working with Ant, we always have such a good laugh together. The atmosphere in the studio was so relaxing… Anthony is the friendliest person I know. If you are looking for amazing photographer, who will make you feel comfortable every step of the way and provide you with exceptional images at the end, look no further! Anthony is your guy!

Thank you Ant, can’t wait to work with you again!:)

Ant is simply a fabulous photographer to work with for many reasons, one of which is his creativity. His pre shoot communications were excellent and he explained his vision clearly as well as outfit suggestions which are always super helpful.

When he booked me during my Blackpool Tour I knew we were going to capture gold and I was totally right. Ant has this wonderful ability to get along with anyone and the two of us had a good time, bantering constantly. In between the banter we wandered around the coast and captured gorgeous shots everywhere before heading to his studio space. He's very open to ideas and was happy with any I had suggested but is equally happy to make decisions.

We captured some fabulous images and worked seamlessly together to get them. Ant works phenomenally with natural light but had plenty of lighting equipment as well! He was polite, professional and super easy to chat to. He has such enthusiasm for photography and I really had a blast.

The images looked epic and I look forward to seeing his edits! 1000% recommended.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

Wow that was an amazing pleasure to shoot with Ant, this time we shot in Preston and I got the best memories of it.

I have been shooting with Ant quite a few times and he is always very professional, respectful, polite, friendly and very reliable photographer who loves what he does and gives everything he can to get the best results and make our shoots to be very enjoyable and full of fun.

As always Ant’s pre-communication was the best, he is very fast to respond and is very easy to arrange a shoot with. Ant is a gentleman and he always ensure I feel well and am absolutely comfortable so I had the best time shooting with Ant.

I love coming to North and first thing I do I message Ant as I am very much enjoying working with him and we always get such amazing results. Ant is being very creative photographer and he is first to message when I organise my tour to North🤩

Many thanks Ant, I am already looking forward to shooting with you again.

Highly recommended,100%

This was my second shoot with Ant. I love working with Ant, he is just an absolute joy to work with. His pre-comms are fantastic. This was a group shoot organised by Ant and it was a brilliant day. He had an idea of a dark circus and that’s what we brought together. It worked really well with the other amazing models he organised.

Nothing is too much trouble for Ant, he looks after his models extremely well. Making sure we all had everything we needed including refreshments. The images created were just fantastic.

I would highly recommend working with Ant if you get the chance.

I’m super excited to work with him again soon.

I had a pleasure to work with Anthony for the first time last Thursday. I can honestly say that he is a brilliant photographer who takes absolutely stunning images. On top of it, he is just this amazing, genuine and friendly man who made me feel comfortable and at ease as soon as we exchanged first few words. His communication prior to the shoot was absolutely spot on. I never had to wait for his reply longer than a couple of minutes. He is highly experienced behind the camera and knows how to make sure that every image is beautiful and unique. I recommend him to any model out there who is looking for a professional yet genuinely friendly experience.

I can honestly say that I cannot wait to shoot with Anthony in the future, hopefully more than once 🤞🏼☺️

Thank you, Anthony from the bottom of my heart! It was a sheer pleasure!

Anthony is such a gentlemen, pre comms were great and he sent me the mood board to match suitable outfits too. He has a great studio a few minutes walk from the station, he even provided some snacks.

Working through the shoot, he provided clear direction, support and advice to perfect his shoots and within 24 hours had sent me the contact sheets.

He is an absolute star to work with and I would highly recommend him to any future models and I look forward to working with you again Anthony, thank you for a great experience. 😊

This was the second time having an in person shoot with AC9.

This time we discussed some cosplay themes beforehand.

Ant has a lovely well equipped studio just within five minutes from the station which is just great.

We went through a couple of sets and I think we got some really cool shots thanks to Ants awesome light set ups and brilliant props.

Loving the images we got and this was altogether such a fun shoot.

Super photographer and would recommend to all models.

Hope we shoot together again very soon and thanks again 🙂

This was my first time shooting with Ant and it was an amazing experience!

He was very communicative beforehand so the organisation was on point.

Arriving at this studio he has a lovely space to get ready & also so many props and items that he is more than happy with models using.

Ant has an amazing eye for light, colour & ideas. Shooting with him was honestly such an uplifting and fun experience.

He is very respectful and I felt very comfortable and confident shooting with him!

I would definitely recommend him to all models and really hope we get to shoot with each other again!

Thank you for such a great experience

We had lots of fun shooting and Ant is very easy to get on with. A really great photographer The studio was easy to get too and Ant made sure I knew exactly where I was going. He was also well equipped with lots of refreshments too. I’ve had a few images already and they look amazing. Looking forward to seeing the rest and working together again in the near future.

Firstly apologies for the very late reference! How can I not leave a reference for such a wonderful shoot. Forth time shooting with Ant and again such a great creative idea. This shoot was with two other fabulous models and we were lucky enough to shoot at That Alternative Studio.

Ant is always an absolute pleasure to work with, a total gentleman with loads of creative idea's, but he's also happy to indulge the models crazy idea's resulting in far too many amazing images to choose from.

Ant gets the highest recommendation from me x

Today is my second time i worked with Ant. Very pleasant person to work with. I enjoy seeing Ant bring ideas on set. He kindly let me record behind the scene and he also took part recording us. He bought the team together very nicely and calmly. Thanks again for having me.

I have shot with Ant many times and throughly enjoy working with him every time. Ant is very professional and is a very skilled & talented photographer. We communicate regularly before each shoot to ensure we are both happy with the theme and style of the shoot. Ant is very considerate and easy to work with. I'm looking forward to shooting with Ant again soon in Summer months so we can create some more wonderful images.

I would highly recommend working with Ant!

I had an amazing 1st shoot with Ant! Pre comms were perfect, Ant came and met me at the station, he was extremely polite and helpful.

The shoot went so quick but Ant new exactly what he wanted and his knowledge of lighting was exceptional, capturing some amazing images 👌

I highly recommend working with Ant if ever you get the chance, such a lovely and enjoyable shoot. Thank you Ant ❤️

Shot with Ant today, his pre shoot comms were brilliant. He even made me a little mood board on Pinterest which helped with what to bring in regards to outfits. He met me at the carpark so I didn't struggle to find the studio. Lots of tea and snacks provided.

We shot fashion in the studio, lots of outfits and as the sun was out we got out and did a few images close by which was lovely.

I instantly felt at ease with Ant he is helpful, patient and respectful and really passionate about what he does.

Looking forward to working together again soon.
