It was a pleasure to work with Andy for the first time at our 'uncovered' & Urbex Ballet event.

Andy was a lovely personality, very warm and welcoming to others around him. He was respectful of our studio space, equipment and props. He interacted well with our guest model Eowyn Luna and got some great shots thanks to his creative direction on the day.

We really enjoyed working with Andy and would happily recommend working with him in a workshop format to other models, studios and event organisers.

Thanks for coming Andy, please come back to us soon - we look forward to seeing what you come up with for the other themes we have planned.

Thank You Andy! Firstly for trusting us enough to join us on our first photography trip abroad and secondly, for making it so great! It was an absolute pleasure spending time with you, adventuring and making beautiful images, and we really hope that you loved it as much as we did.

We dragged poor Andy out at all hours, 2AM... 4AM... and kept him out for hours on end as we drove countless miles to one stunning location after another. If he wasn't ready for a rest afterwards then we definitely were, but he never complained a bit. You really have to enjoy a persons company to spend that much time in a relatively small car together and still be smiling at the end, but we all were.

We would gladly have Andy along on another adventure any time and we both sincerely look forward to seeing him again, be it for a shoot or just a social visit.

If you haven't had the pleasure of working with him yet then do not hesitate. Andy is a fantastic photographer and wonderful company.

I had another great shoot with Andy (and Catherine) a couple of days ago in my neck of the woods this time...at the Secret Garden! It's first NSFW shoot!

I LOVE the images we created and it was a superb four hours. The weather was nice, the garden looked great, we had good fun and I'm chuffed with the results.

I really enjoy working with Andy, he always gets great images. Can't wait to see the images go up on PP! :) Thank you to you both.

So after trying and trying myself and Andy finally got to shoot! He attended a group shoot I was modelling for. It was a full days location shoot in Wales and I’m very glad Andy was there for the day! His communications are brilliant - he’s polite and respectful and this wonderful attitude continued during the shoot! He had a lovely friendly attitude and was very welcoming. He was professional and respectful throughout the shoot! And I loved his enthusiasm! He worked really hard to get the shots and clambered and climbed and put himself in a quite difficult place to make sure that he got the best shots possible! Which I really appreciated as I was working hard to get into some difficult places and I loved that Andy was working equally as hard to make sure he captured my poses as well as he could! The back of the camera shots looked great and he has already edited some images I am really proud to be part of! He is clearly a very passionate photographer as well as a very talented one! I hope we can get a 1-2-1 shoot one day as I’d love to work more closely with Andy and collaborate, because I know it would be a great shoot!

A wonderful guy and a great photographer - Highly Recommended by me!

Where do I start..!? I feel incredibly luck to have worked with Andy on a few occasions both 1-2-1 and on group shoots. Each and every time I walk away with a huge smile on my face knowing we have created awesome images and made lasting memories.

I cant stress enough how much I love working with both Andy and his partner Catherine. They each bring their own style to the shoot, its refreshing to see a partnership that is varied and inspired by each other. I look forward to my next shoot with this dynamic duo :)

On our adventure this time round we explored Guy Cliff house, albeit it was a bit cold but we just got straight into it, creating variety of sets and looks. I adore doing art nude with Andy, I know that we can be adventurous together and I trust him implicitly. Wow some things work haha and some things don't but my god when they work!! Yesss!

Anyhow I could keep going but I will leave with this simple message.....If you have the chance to shoot with Andy DO IT! You will only regret it later if you don't!

Highly recommended :)

Nee naaa

Such an amazing shoot. The time flew by with great conversation. I always loved the ideas we generated, the outcome of the shoot we had is bang on! For a first shoot this one was above standard! Highly recommended from me Andrew!

On Monday i met lots of Photographers with there on styles Mr Kirkby had a great style for me to adopt to. He is a very down to earth man, easy to get on with and as a photographer he knew what sort of images he wanted and directed me when needed. I always like to sneak in my own style when i can :P cheeky me

Top photographer i recommend Mr Kirkby to shoot for you guys on purlpe-port make sure you check his page

Andy and I shot together for the first time recently when he attended the Ice Queen and Snow White theme group event Belle Eve and I ran at NLS. The event went very well and Andy (and his fiancee Catherine!) was great to work with, came up with cool twists on the ideas/sets and directed very well. He is recommended to other models by me for sure, and hope we can shoot together again soon :)

Belle Eve

Andy joined Em Theresa and I at the Natural light spaces on Saturday for our Ice queen and Snow white event.

The event was a so much fun and it was wonderful to have so many great photographers join us. Andy added to those wonderful group of people. A lovely guy and a great photographer. Communications before and during the shoot where awesome! I can only recommend!

Much love,

Eve

I had the most wonderful day shooting with Andy and his fabulous partner Catherine at Guy Cliff house. I hadn't been to this venue before so we had a wander and shared ideas and my gosh they just poured out!

We got a huge variety of shots ranging from classical art nude, pulling shapes, creating stories, through to glamorous fashion style images. I must say we definitely made the most of our time. I didn't want to stop shooting and I know we could have kept going but the light finally faded :(

From what I have seen so far the images are wonderful, I can't wait to put some up on my portfolio.

Andy was friendly and polite throughput, I couldn't of asked for a better couple to shoot with. His precomms were fab too.

Thank you so much for having me along with you both. I really hope this is only the beginning of our adventures together :)

Highly recommended!!

I had a great photoshoot with Andy and his partner Catherine at my recent studio day at Joel Hicks Photographic.

So many ideas and props- lots of inspiration, and pre-shoot communication was excellent. I highly recommend Andy and hope to work together again. And thankyou for the jelly babies!

p.s. no fighting over ideas! :P

Natural Light Spaces

Andy came up to the studio on Monday with his partner Catherine for an afternoon shoot with Artemis Fauna.

Andy is a very friendly and chatty guy, very easy to get along wit hand somebody who really knows how to get the best out of the amazing light we get in the studio.

He was very respectful and considerate of the model and also of the studio and its props.

He is fully recommended by the studio and we look forward to welcoming him back in the future.

Artemis Fauna

Andy and his partner Catherine recently booked me for half a day at the brand new Natural Light Studio.

We all had a fantastic shoot and I enjoyed myself a lot. Andy brought lots of ideas with him but also let me go mad and suggest a few things of my own- and have a mad moment in the hoop too! ;)

We took soooo many cool images in the time we had and I can't wait to see more go up! He was also kind enough to share the images with me and I have already used one I loved a lot :D

Thank you so much, Andy! Really hope we can do it again one day :D Highly recommended by me!

Andy recently attended one of my location workshops. He is a really good guy with a fantastic eye for photography. He was extremely professional in interacting with the model. He also had a very clear vision of what photos he wants. He is very skilled and is highly recommended by me. I look forward to seeing him in my workshops again.

Carla Monaco

I worked with Andy recently on a 'Yerbury' workshop in Warwickshire. Andy was a lovely person to work alongside. Very respectful, easy going and professional throughout. I would definitely work with him again and I look forward to seeing more of his work. Hopefully we can work together again soon on a 1:1 shoot.

Highly recommended from me :)

thanks

Met with Andy and his lovely wife Catherine last Sunday to do an equestrian related photo shoot. Had a fantastic afternoon and can't wait to see what will no doubt be some fantastic photos of somewhat surreal day. Can't recommend him enough and would definitely work him again in the future.

Monday was my second time working with Andy at a group shoot evening he arranges. He is a laid back photographer, friendly and organised. Good communication leading up to the shoot and I always have an enjoyable shoot with Andy, hoping to arrange another shoot soon. Recommended to the new and experienced.

I worked with Andy on a University project for my Fashion course. I found him very professional and friendly, very easy to work with. Using his own lights gave my pictures a really good quality and I would highly recommend him!
