I had a wonderful first shoot with AK today around the streets of London.

Pre comms were great so I knew exactly what was expected and when we met he immediately put me at ease with his wonderful attitude, I'm not sure I've laughed so much on a shoot in a long time!

AK was flexible and creative and allowed me to pose freely as well as directing when needed, the time flew by and I'm excited to see what he created!

I would recommend AK to models of all levels!

Thanks so much for a great shoot!

Had a great first shoot with Akay at my home studio! Pre comms were great and he sent through moodboards which made planning my outfits much easier! We got through a lot of sets in 2 hours and the shoot flowed great. He's really easy to work with, gives great posing direction and is very respectful

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and would happily work with him again. A definite recommend from me :)

I had a fab shoot with Akays, we shot on location for a special Kimono shoot, he was very patient with me while I changed and got myself ready to shoot and we took the time to get the most splendid shots! I hope we shoot again! thanks Akay for your time and professionalism

I had the pleasure of working with Akay over two days whilst I was touring london. Akay is a true professional I couldn’t recommend enough!

He was so welcoming, easy to talk too and we had 2 brilliant shoots!

I am excited to work together again in the future :)

I've just shot with Akays today. It was one of my favourite shoots of recent days. I just loved everything about it!

Akays is so nice and chilled! As well as professional and creative. His studio is a dream- spacious, with a lovely dressing table and a changing space. For the first time I had a chance to see myself in the mirror while shooting, at the same time being able to see the photographs as they were coming up on the screen which was extremely helpful!

We've tried amazing props and ideas and the results are going to be just stunning! I definitely hope to shoot again.

I am so happy that could finally arrange a shoot with Akays! His studio is situated in a very convenient place in central London. He met me in the entrance and helped with my suitcase, that was very nice, cause it was very heavy 🙈 His studio is light, clean and very cozy. It was warm there cause Akays turned on a the heating all the time for me

Communication was perfect! Akays could easily explain me what he expects from the photos, so it was easy to understand how to pose🤗 Also we had a great and entertaining chat, so shoot passed easy and fast! Also Akays has a great taste! All outfits that he chose was really cool❤️‍🔥 And he created so much of amazing photos! It was a big pleasure to work with you and hope will meet you again soon!

I had a last minute shoot with Akays because we both were free due to cancellation and well I'm very glad we had opportunity to shoot together as Akays is very creative, professional and talented. I really enjoyed our shoot together and images came out great! Hope to shoot with him soon, highly recommended!

I had a lot of fun shooting with Akays,

He's absolutely lovely and felt very comfortable shooting with him. Have booked another shoot with him at the end of the month which I'm very much looking forward to. He's really creative and I cannot wait to see how the photos come out after they are done.

We arranged a shoot in a studio setting and it was so great

Akin reached out to me asking to shoot in his own studio in East London and he did not disappoint!

All pre comms were great, he provided moodboards early on so I knew exactly what I would be shooting. We shot a wide range of things, from casual fashion, expressive portraits, to even some funky shapes with some rings (which is right up my street!). Together with my wardrobe, as well as items he specifically bought for the shoot, we put together some great looks. I am looking forward to seeing the final shots!

Akin was very kind, friendly, respectful and professional throughout the shoot. He is also such a genuine person I could have just talked to him for hours, time seemed to just fly by in his presence!

I highly recommend and I look forward to hopefully shooting with him again!

I had the lovely pleasure of Meeting Ak for 2 days of shooting back to back and it still wasn’t enough!

We started off with a lifestyle fashion shoot in the streets of Kensington. Scanning the area to see what we were working with and just going with the flow of it. I had the ideas in mind but some not knowing exactly how to execute them however Ak was amazing with the direction, given as and when needed, resulting in some fantastic shots.

Ak is relaxed, professional and very respectful which went a long way in our second shoot. We mainly did studio work however we did a small lingerie set outside and Ak did everything he could to make sure I felt safe and covered incase of anyone walking/driving by. As for the studio work… wow! The creativity that Ak has is incredible. He was prepared with mood boards and ideas from the start and was also willing to teach me on lighting.

I had so much fun shooting with Ak and can’t recommend him enough. I can’t wait too see the shots that we created and im really looking forward to working together again in the future.

Akays reply to my casting call while I was in London and I am so happy he did! :D

Pre communication was on spot, even if it was organized quite last minute, we discussed ideas and style before hand.

On the day he welcomed me to his beautiful studio in Whitechapel. Great vibes and energy, I knew since the start I was going to have a great time shooting with this talented creative! The time just flew by, had fun and created beautiful images with different style in a little amount of time! Can’t wait to see the results from this first shoot and to shoot with him again!! Totally recommended to any models and creatives

Thank you for the great shoot 😊

Akin reached out to me to shoot at his studio and I happily accepted. His pre-communication was so clear and helped me prepare for the shoot as his moodboards were a great aid. He was so friendly from the start and that created such a safe atmosphere! When I arrived he took the time to sit down and have a chat first which I always find really lovely! It's great that he values the connection between a model and photographer as I feel this helped me feel more open. As a result of that, the back of the camera looked so promising and I hope he is just as pleased with the images! A great photographer to work with and would highly recommend him to anyone. One of my favourite shoots for sure!

I had my second fantastic shoot with Akin. All communication before the shoot was spot on. He prepared a mood board for me with a great ideas which I really enjoyed.

During the shoot I found Akin to be really enthusiastic, creative and concerned with creating beautiful imagery! He was lovely to work with and we both bounced ideas around and perfected the images nicely! We got some absolutely beautiful images!

I would certainly recommend Akin to other models and I'm looking forward to working with you again!

AKIN IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

Thank you

Jasmine :)

I had the pleasure of working with akays at the studio and I would definitely work with him again!

He’s a lovely guy, professional and easy to get along with.

If you get the chance to work with him, do it! The only problem you would have is picking out the favourite images because he gets so many good ones.

Highly recommend 😁

It was a joy meeting and working with Akin this week. He was really helpful and organized sending mood-boards regarding the ideas he had in mind for what he was looking to achieve for our shoot.

He was super kind, laid back, and a complete professional throughout our shoot together. His studio space is perfectly located right in central London which was great!

If you’re looking to update your portfolio or just starting out in modeling, I highly recommend Akin for this task. He is a true professional with great passion and knowledge in what he does. I 100% recommend him! Looking forward working together again in the future, thank you Akin!!

Akays contacted me in response to a casting in Chelsea to book 2 hours with me shooting lingerie. I feel the shoot went well and efficiently, we made good use of the space provided and different outfit changes within the time. Happy to have worked together and wouldn’t hesitate to work again in the future ☺️ Very pleasant shoot, polite and friendly, would recommend.

Had a great shoot with Akin :) he is professional, kind, friendly and easy to work with. Very polite! He knows his angles, lighting and what he wants out of the photos. Highly recommended! Hope to shoot again soon :)

This was my first time shooting with Akin, firstly at the apartment I booked while staying in London. What a huge success that was! Akin is an amazing photographer, with a great personality and insanely talented at what he does! The images from this shoot will be incredible and really can’t wait to see them :)

Akin booked a shoot with me again a couple of days after while I was still staying in London, to continue with a few more ideas we’ve had on our first one. I really loved working with Akin, so of course I quickly jumped at the opportunity to shoot with him again :) Both shoots were fun, relaxed and enjoyable :)

Thank you Akin for two amazing shoots and I will look forward to shooting with you again when you’re in my area or when I visit London again :)

Highly recommended!
