I have now worked with Andrew on two completely difference shoots, one involving very cold conditions (blizzard) with one of Andrews students, the other was a Boudoir Workshop with 7 students at Full Circle Studio. I enjoyed being involved in both, it's a great pleasure to work with Andrew as he is very easy going and professional. He gave a great briefing on what I needed to bring with me on both occasions, so I felt very prepared and ready for whatever was required. I am certainly looking forward to doing some collaborative work with him soon!

Thanks Andrew!

I had a Fantastic shoot with Andrew! He is sooo easy to work with, an absolute pleasure :) We did allsorts in one day and it was alot of fun. He is very knowledgable and inspirational. Andrew actually makes you feel confident when shooting, a really positive, passionate person. I feel even from 1 shoot with Andrew he taught me some things, which is so nice and rare. I cant wait to work with Andrew on his workshops :D The images from our shoot are amazing also, too much awesomeness, was very difficult to choose between. He is definately the god of light! Dont think I have seen so much variation of lighting and its effects in 1 shoot! :O 110% recommended! Amazing photographer, lovely genuine man :D Thanks a trillion :D x

I booked a private one on one course with Andrew and was hesitant at first as I had flown over from South Africa. What an awesome experience I had! Andrew was extremely professional and knowledgeable of his trade. He always had a hint and a suggestion and gave me exactly what I required in my brief. He was not at all pretentious, I really had a lot of fun with him and would definitely recommend him to any photographer wanting to brush up on their skills or learn new skills as I did.

I had the pleasure of attending Andrews Beauty and Fashion course at Full circle studios and I was really impressed in the content of the course from a classroom based session to the step by step process in the actual practical set up of each lighting set. Andrew is a real professional and very organised and I his courses are the best photography courses I have been on :-)

Thank you Andrew.

What can I say I have been wanting to work with Andrew for AGES. He is a wonderful photographer and a down to earth easy going guy. Very relaxed and very tentative. His images are just beautiful. Can't wait to work with him again

I was the model for Andrews workshop at Saracen house, and got the pleasure of doing beauty and boudior after the workshop. Was a long and productive day, and had such a great time! Very professional. I am so happy with the results. We had Zoe-Louise Day as our MUA, which really enhanced the shots. Hope to work with him on my return to the UK!!

A few weeks later after buzzing off Andrews Beauty and Fashion workshop... I happen to find myself coming back to Andrew to create some wonderful boudoir/lifestyle images and also learn about boudoir. I can't decribe in words how chilled out Andrew's shoot are but to create such outstanding results at the same time is just incredible!! and yes, he makes the BEST cheese on toast you will ever taste.. so even if he was a rubbish photographer, (which that would never happen!!) ...the cheese on toast was well worth a 2 hour journey there =) Thanks again for just being simply amazing Andrew.

Well well well, I got the ultimate opportunity to shoot with Andrew Appleton at one his Fashion and Beauty workshops at Saracens House (MK). I had such a fantastic day. Andrew is a very friendly, polite and pleasant photographer who explodes with talent. He is an incredible teacher, and what he teaches to the photographers is just mind blowing. I absalutely LOVED his beauty shot set up; his lighting techniques and camera settings are just perfect! His fashion set ups were equally as good. I just cannot decribe in words how good Andrew is, baring in mind, he was a little bit ill on the day, but, he still continues to teach as normal which shows a high standard of professionalism. Andrew is such a plessure to work with and I highly recommend him to anybody. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience Andrew. Emma (M O W - M O W)

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to shoot with Andrew today at his beautiful home. His pre-shoot communication was fantastic and he is an extremely professional, friendly and encouraging person; as well as being a brilliant photographer.

Some of the shots looked great and I can't wait to add them to my portfolio! I hope to get the chance to work with Andrew again and highly recommend him to other models!

Thanks Andrew!

Andrew and I did an impromptu shoot in my Dressmaking studio in December. Andrew was great to work with and was creative with the surroundings. We got some amazing shots. I hope to shoot with him again soon.

I recently had a wonderful creative shoot with Andrew at his Lincoln studio where we covered a range of innovative styles and sets, bouncing off one another with exciting concepts and productivity.

Andrew was a true gem to shoot with and instantly a relaxed and gratifying rapport was formed. In addition to his lovely hospitality, his superb skills with lighting, angles and composition really does shine and the stunning photographs just kept flowing!

It would be an utter pleasure to work with Andrew again in the future and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Thanks again Andrew for a terrific shoot. :)

I shot with Andrew on Halloween, and fared against the Skegness winds for a day by the beach. Andrew is ever the complete professional and a friendly and funny guy to be around. He came with clear ideas of what he wanted to achieve, communicated well at all pointsand of course produced some great pictures which I received quickly. I highly recommend him and look forward to shooting with him again. Thanks Andrew!

Trinity said...

Shot with Andrew last month, and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Andrew is (obviously!) incredibly professional, but also extremely friendly and easy to work with. The pictures I've received have been amazing and I very much hope to work with him again. I highly recommend Andrew as a very talented photographer.

I had a fantastic time shooting with Andrew this week!

He instantly made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. When we were planning the themes we were going to shoot he helped me choose outfits to wear and he even gave me style advice. During the shoot I felt that he was very skilled at giving direction, he seemed to know what poses suited me and what didn't! He is very creative, fun to work with and has the really good people skills which I believe gives the ability to bring out the best in people which shows in his pictures. I can not wait to see the edits!

I hope to work with again soon, Comes with my highest recommendation!

Thank you Andrew :)

Well what can I say about Andrew hmmmm a little quiet, shy not imaginative??? Hell no that isn't him, Andrew has flair, personality and the creative streak to go with it, his team with his lovely wife Helen is just exceptional, ideas styling and a shoot full of creative spark, I always thoroughly enjoy my time with them both, they are such an amazing team together and you can't help but be swept away by them both. Always something new and crazy.. I cannot wait to venture their direction again soon. This is a must have on any models portfolio and Andrew also runs workshops which if you are after something different then I can happily advice photographers to contact Andrew to find out more... :)

What can I say about this man that would sum him up, words fail me but I will give it a go.

I have worked with Andrew now 4 times and this last time was just a week ago on a shoot in Paris. Andrew is one of my most favourite photographers that I have worked with and I am privileged to have been a part of creating some beautiful images together, he is funny, friendly and very relaxed and because of this he gets the best out of people. If you want fantastic, out of this world images for your portfolio then this is the man to work with.

I just wish we didn't live so far apart as I would love to be working with Andrew on a regular basis. Here's to hopefully many more shoots together.
