Adrian is very lovely, bubbly and kind I had a fabulous time with Adrian one of the best shoots I’ve been on one of fun type of shoots you want to do again, not only is Adrian talented as a photographer but he’s great fun to work with I have a few favourite photographers and Adrian meeting for the first time is one of them, not only was he happy to help with my portfolio to put forward to agencies and an acting showreel and headshots for future shoots, but during the shoot the energy on the day was amazing he’s very relaxed helpful and vibrant happy to discussing ideas also hes’ very professional happy

Chilled fun to shoot with best type of energy.

Adrian is highly motivated to get the best out of his models with a positive attitude to keep you focused on your work and having a laugh but to work hard to a good standard so you don’t get sidetracked with conversation he is very strategic and professional and is always professional with ideas and ideas concepts are never rushed or forced this takes a lot of skill , Adrian is very motivated to get some great classic poses and photos as I am still learning he was able to help me pose to get better shapes as I still need to perfect my skills.

I also had a bit of a dilemma with my skin due to overexposure on a tanning bed Adrian was highly professional and worked to a very high standard to get some amazing work we worked around this error with the sunburn and never once did Adrian mention the sunburn.

He also gave me all of the photos I wanted from our shoot so I have things to post all over social media as I am trying to work on a lot of things this has been the most helpful as not all photographers do this I am extremely grateful also Adrian is very thoughtful he bought me chocolates and was very kind I have been on a few shoots where not every photographer is this kind or professional and have been unprofessional and not even semi pro it’s a nice touch and first impressions do count I would happily work with Adrian again because he is very professional, fun to work with and he also is a great photographer I would recommend him also to young aspiring models as Adrian will help you with confidence and is happy to help where he can Adrian has helped me already with my portfolio with our last shoot but even at 31 the amount of people who have tried to take advantage of my inexperience this or make me do glamour or adult or above my levels or get moody on a shoot or annoyed as I wont shoot above levels you never have this nonsenses of Adrian you feel more happy to shoot glamour as hes not dodgy moody, he is highly professional at all times and works around you his work is too a high standard also, so first photographer id give 10/10 for professionalism skill and attitude would recommend him as I got great work for my portfolio already so excited to work with Adrian again in talks about booking another shoot already.

Great great shoot with Adrian yesterday, possibly the best yet?.... The results are fantastic and I'm so pleased, the amount of fun we had in this shoot shines through in the results. Rain, chickens, fish and we still came out with gold for artistry! It was as always lovely to see Adrian- he's the loveliest kindest person, great company- always with a story to tell. I hope we shoot again soon thanks so much Adrian!

Another fabulous shoot with Adrian, despite the fuel crisis trying to put a stop to it, we had a great shoot. He came and gave me a lift, was early as usual and had many a story and tale to tell which made the time just fly by, highly recommended to anyone. thanks adrian!

“Shorts alert”

Well off me and Mr Ashurst went up to the North East to shoot some of the lovely locations Ive had my eye on for quite a while.

Was I expecting a disaster? No. Definitely not image and work wise but sometimes things happen when I’m around. Totally me!

I didn’t lose Adrian in the Tyne so that’s good.

However we probably can’t show our face at the Angel of the North for quite some time as the ice cream man was totally not on our side and will grass us up to the regular heating engineers. Don’t ask!

Plus Adrian will never be able to join the Royal Navy and we only nearly died 8 times so it’s all good.

Honestly excellent shots with a great person.

Brilliant.

I had an amazing home shoot with Adrian recently. The pre comms were great, I knew exactly what we’re going to be shooting on the day. Adrian is a creative photographer and has a great eye for detail. He’s really kind and I always felt comfortable shooting with him. Really fun shoot, relaxed and in a great atmosphere while creating great images :)

Highly recommended!

Lovely second shoot with Adrian again, just as before he’s very chatty and jolly which is amazing. His character makes the shoot feel a breeze which is ideal especially for a beginner model who may be terrified of doing a shoot(of course he is recommended to all of various experience levels) yet again, a lovely experience and highly recommended 😊

Yet again another fantastic shoot,

Thank you for an amazing shoot,

100% recommend him to all models, very professional and great ideas.

Thanks again for a great shoot.

Had a great shoot with Adrian, as always, at Splashpoint studio, a first for me! It was soooo worth the trip! Shot some great concepts at the brilliant sets at the studio, had a dunk in the pool and Adrian came well stocked with refreshments which is always a plus! We always get on so well and it’s a pleasure to spend time with Adrian- until next time, which I hope isn’t too far away!..

What a lovely first shoot with Adrian today, kind enough to divert to my home for a shoot after a long drive from another shoot. Adrian was very relaxed and chatty and brought some nibbles too. It was nice to see Adrian’s images which he brought along with him in a book. He adapted with ideas as he saw each environment of the house which isn’t always an easy thing to do when you shoot somewhere you’re unfamiliar with. Absolutely a lovely chap and would be happy to work with again and recommend to others :)

When Adrian calls you go running. Why? Because he’s a fabulous person to work with that’s why.

I actually had a cancellation for today so luckily enough Adrian messaged and we arranged a location shoot. The weather did not put us off - in fact it probably added to the theme.

So after a chat, gossip, Morrison’s, McDonald’s and getting lost we arrived at the location and worked with what we had.

We certainly worked it, in fact we covered what models and photographers would cover in 5 hours, and we probably got better results.

Amaze balls once again.

First shoot with Adrian this morning.

An amazing down to earth guy and a very professional photographer. Came with a plan and new what he was doing straight away.

A very polite gentleman.

I would 100% recommend him to all.

Thanks again for the shoot.

Look forward to our next one.

After a long old wait due to the circumstances the world is currently in, Adrian & finally got to shoot again! Of course this was socially distanced, but we also waited until Adrian had received both of his COVID jabs. (I am also frequently tested at many commercial shoot jobs). We had a fabulous time and it felt really great to be back shooting as a pair! As always we got some fabulous shoots but I feel this time we really moved onto a different paths and shot some really great, new ideas. I had such a great time and believe the images we got are some of the best we’ve made so far. I can’t wait to see the edits and work with Adrian again! Thank you for another fabulous day & shoot!!

Been meaning to work with in a studio with Adrian for so long so this shoot has been a long time coming but I think we've got some of our best shots yet! As I've said before- the loveliest guy- gave me a lift from door to door in his valeted car, to save me struggling with all of my bags on the train, he bought some clothes and props with him. He had some really creative and fun ideas for our first studio shoot- great banter and conversation made the time fly by. Some of the results we have got are amazing and I really look forward to working together more in the future.

Jennifer Bardsley

First socially distanced location shoot with Adrian- it's been so long! But so good to be back shooting and so lovely to work with Adrian again, he brought along some fab jackets from a designer he has been working with- was great to shoot them and to work on Adrian's vision for each of them.

We branched out into movie production in this shoot- keep your eyes peeled for that and for the brill images I'm sure we created- can't wait to see them !

Thanks Adrian
