I've worked with Adrian twice so far, and it's always a pleasure. I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Adrian was extremely professional and easy to work with. He is also a very creative individual who was happy to send ideas my way. We did a shoot that could very well be seen as a two-part shoot. I wanted to bring a poem I had written to life and I also wanted to do some portrait shots. I had fun shooting and getting creative with Adrian and I highly recommend him!

Shot with Adrian for the first time and it was a really pleasant experience. The communication before the shoot was detailed and very efficient, we had a clear idea of the plan for the shoot both and on the day Adrian was very professional, considerate and friendly! It was really easy to talk to Adrian and he was very clear in his communication. Would definitely recommend Adrian and hope to work with him again!

I had a great first shoot with Adrian, he bought me a coffee on the way to the location, picked me up from the station and was an absolute gentleman, despite less than agreeable weather conditions.

We managed to get lots of great images from what I could see on the back of the camera and he gave me a few instax images to take away with me.

Looking forward to working with him again, I can't recommend him more highly!

I had my second shoot with Adrian last week, the first one back in the summer being a maternity shoot and this time we did mother and baby!! I can only reiterate what I said about Adrian last time, he is an absolute gentleman, incredibly personable and very professional. Another thing I learnt about him this time round - he has endless patience and understanding when dealing with a slightly more challenging subject - a 4 month old baby!! Adrian not only produces great images, it is also a pleasure to be in his company. Once again he comes highly recommended :)

Adrian was creative and resourceful, adaptable, very polite, and the images turned out beautifully. I would happily work with him any time.

I had my first shoot with Adrian last week. The shoot was arranged within a couple of emails and went really well. We experimented throughout the shoot, bouncing ideas from each other. Adrian has a lovely warm and well stocked studio with lots of nibbles and biscuits. He is a very talented and skilled photographer and very easy to get on with and makes you feel very comfortable at all times. Within a couple of days he sent me a link to the photos. I would definitely recommend working with Adrian and I hope I get another chance.

I had the pleasure of working with Adrian in his well equipped home studio. This was our first shoot together so it was a bit of 'getting to know you' shoot too. It went really well, we both got the images from the spur of the movement maternity shoot ideas we both had. We also covered a wacky makeup concept with a MUA so lots of ground was covered.

I'd definitely recommend Adrian as a photographer. Can't wait to see the end results!

I had a wonderful first shoot with Adrian, dragging both him and his make up artist to my favourite grimy cottage to shoot, and scaring them to death in the process when we found yet another location was obviously being inhabited part time :) Despite that Adrian was calm, fun and creative all the way through, and did a cracking job of lighting it despite the lack of natural light, and producing some of the ghostliest images I've shot so far!! I think I genuinely lost my head at one point....

Thanks again for an awesome shoot!!!! :)

Had a great shoot today with Adrian! From the beginning he was very organised and communicative leering me know exactly what style of makeup he wanted from the shoot and letting me know the models that were part of the shoot in advance so I could prepare! On shoot day he was very friendly and positive, choosing a great location and making the most of what we had despite the terrible weather! He was very fast and efficient taking wonderful photos, even taking ones focusing on the makeup for me which was amazing! Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a great photographer, and I look forward to working with him again on other projects in the future!

Another great shoot today - well actually two shoots. One on the 'beach' at Deptford creating an 'urban Ben Gunn' and then later on the South Bank with a couple of other models and an MUA creating a 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party'

Adrian is a consummate professional and wasn't at all fazed by the relentless rain today but just adapted the shoot and location to take full advantage of the soft muted lighting while still staying dry. We were also able to take advantage of the location by interacting with some of the SouthBank Skateboarders to create some totally surreal moments.

I can totally recommend Adrian - he is considerate, respectful and creative with his models and always makes sure that you get what you are looking for from the shoot as well as following his own ideas.

I had a wonderful day shooting with Adrian today in a gorgeous location. Pre-shoot comms were great: he gave me a really specific list of what he wanted which made packing nice and easy, was happy to pick me up/drop me off from the station and provide lunch. During the shoot Adrian was great company - really relaxed, happy to shoot my ideas as well as his own, and the images look beautiful. He didn't rush me with outfit/make-up changes and even made sure I had suitable sunscreen on to protect my skin! Very genuine, thoughtful guy - I'd certainly work with Adrain again and recommend him to other models.

I headed over to Farncombe in deepest Surrey for a great morning shoot with Adrian. We are both busy people and it took a while to sync diaries but the communication was excellent and coherent throughout and I never doubted that it would happen.

Adrian was very clear from the outset about what excited him about my 'look' and how he would like to light it to produce some interesting effects and the whole shoot was delightfully experimental within certain concepts. We were able to discuss ideas as we went along and Adrian gave me pretty much free rein to produce the poses that went with the idea, tweaking here and there when necessary.

I do enjoy shoots where there is a creative interplay between me the 'tog and this was definitely one such shoot - it was also suitably slightly crazy at times (in a good way) with me ending up under an umbrella under a shower of 'rain' (courtesy of a hosepipe) but Adrian was certainly careful to make sure I was comfortable with all aspects of what we were doing before going ahead.

We are already discussing a location shoot in London. A serious AND fun photographer who I can highly recommend.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Adrian a few weeks ago when he came out to my place to shoot. We had been in communication for a fair while in our attempts to plan a shoot and such was the timing we ended up doing a maternity shoot!! I can't rate Adrian highly enough from his pre shoot communications, through to being in his company throughout the shoot and finally the images his skills, expertise, attention to detail and creativity allow him to produce. Not only is Adrian a true professional, he is also a perfect gentleman, great company and the icing on the cake a truly fantastic photographer :)!! I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with him - not only will you get some great images but you will also have an absolute blast in the process. Thank you Adrian :)

Had the pleasure of working with Adrian a few weeks ago! He's a very friendly, organised and professional individual! Before the shoot he sent me a list of all his ideas and was very clear and informative about what he wanted to achieve from the shoot. He came very well-prepared on the day with a range of props and equipment that came to be very handy!

Adrian is very adaptable and works really well on location, handling both natural and flash lighting really well! He is very experimental and creative, tests lots of angles and different compositions for a piece! He is also really fun to work with, great to chat to and makes the shoot very engaging!

I had a lovely time working with him and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him! :)

I had my third shoot with Adrian on Friday and again what an amazing shoot !

There's not a lot I can say that I haven't already covered in previous references and I speak from my heart when I say it just gets better !! We get along like a house on fire and conversation flows so easy

We did a mixture this time and did half in the studio and half on location and I loved the place he took me to . With the natural light beaming down we got some beautiful images , I can't wait to see the results and add them to my port :D

I hope to work with Adrian lots once I've had my little princess and can't wait to meet such a great guy again , get booking ladies ! Xx

I had my second shoot with Adrian today and loved it ! We got some cracking images and nailed the look I was after .

As always conversation flows easily and I was welcomed with cookies and tea . Every woman's happiness :)

Time flew by and Adrian had even heated the studio up in advance for me which meant it was nice and toasty for when we started . I'm so happy with the results and felt at ease the hole way through .

I would highly recommend Adrian to all models and togs to work with . A great man with a passion for what he does . Thanks again Adrian and hope to work with you again in the future

Adrian and I had a shoot booked yesterday and it was the first time we had shot together. He is a polite and respectable photographer. He has done some travelling photography which was lovely to hear about. He showed me a beautiful location and like me he is willing to try random ideas.

As a model said below, please dont let his lack of references put you off, I would recommend him and look forward to shooting again!

I shot with Adrian recently. He is a very polite, respectable fellow with a great attitude and a tonne of ideas. He knows what he wants and is willing to try crazy ideas too. Supplied me with tea, biscuits, water and anything else I needed or asked for. He was exceptionally patient with the spiders that I brought along for the shoot and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the whole day.

Despite his lack of references, don't let this put you off, he is a fantastic guy and a great photographer and I would recommend him very highly. I look forward to shooting again!
