Attended one of Andy's Boudoir Workshops with Jennjj at rococo farm studio.

Really enjoyed the day, Andy was able to explain things in plain English and help us come away with some really good results

Andy really took the time to work with us and ensure that we had everything we needed in order to produce the result we after.

Very happy to have found Andy and will be reaching out again for another workshop soon

Happy to recommend

Some shoots for what ever reason just don't go to plan.

Andy and I first spoke about doing a light painting based shoot some 6 months ago. Originally we had planned to shoot this in November of last year but the weather went against us and we rescheduled it for the spring.

This lead us to today's shoot. Some one upstairs decided it was our turn to be prodded with the funny stick. Not only did the weather turn on the shoot again, but we were plagued with unexpected light source issues which caused issues with the style of photography we were shooting.

When things go wrong you can only laugh at the situation and shrug it off, and we certainly did!

Sadly Andy and I only got to shoot for a fraction of the time we had originally planned and due to the unforeseen issues, I don't think we were ever truly able to find our stride.

Having said that, some of our test shoot images looked amazing, so all was not lost. You do wonder what could have been!

Andy's pre and post coms were great.

He had an assistant with him who was extremely helpful, polite and respectful toward myself as a model as was Andy.

Here's to a third bite at the cherry!

Our persistence will eventually pay off - just smile and smile some more! Haha

Happy to recommend.

I recently attended Andy's Boudoir Workshop on the 24th. I can only say that the course was amazing. Andy's systematic and clear training style means that I learnt more in one day than I would have in months of trying to understand Youtube videos. This is simply brilliant.

The venue is very special and his model @Jenni JJ is stunning and also not only stunning but able to add extra tips from the model's pod on how to get the best from your model and shoot.

His follow up video showing how he processes his photos from the day is worth the cost on its own.

I look forward to taking part in the next course and I can only recommend.

I recently attended Andy's Boudoir workshop which I can highly recommend. The day was instructive, entertaining and filled with useful tips and advice. It included the opportunity to practice one to one with the model, try a variety of shots and was highly enjoyable.

I know there are some future workshops planned which I look forward to attending.

Andy and I planned sunrise shoot on a golf course at the beginning of september. After such a glorious summer how could we have foreseen the temperature would plummet and we'd end up shooting in freezing conditions.

Its at times like this that having a speedy, super organised, highly professional and all round genius of a photographer is soooo important and Andy is ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

My god he's brilliant. He was so well prepared. He totally understood how challenging it was to stand naked in near freezing temperatures and he looked after me accordingly. He made sure he was totally ready before we shot to minimize the freezing naked model time.

I'm no technical person, but I think it was a pretty tricky shoot. Andy nailed it - I take absolutely no credit what so ever! I just stood about hugging a hot water bottle and he created the most incredible images!

I would like to witter on more, but I think I'm running out of space.

So in short.

Work with him - he's a bloody genius!

thank you so much!

I had the absolute PLEASURE to take part in a natural light workshop led by Andy.

What a great tutor! Played on everyone's strengths, no such thing as a silly question, really easy to get along with and incredibly passionate about empowering others.

Would recommend!

Oh.Gosh.You.Found.Me

Had a great first shoot with Andy.

Communications were great before, during and after.

He was very aware of my body temperature (it was a very cold day) and made sure that no time outside of the coat was wasted.

The images we got are amazing, and definitely some of my favourites.

I highly recommend this amazing photographer to all models

I finally had my first shoot with Andy which we planned on having for ages!

Andy approached me to see if I would be interested in doing a cyberpunk shoot and I absolutely loved this idea. We shot around Portsmouth Southsea area, in the evening using all the night lights available. Andy also pitched a really cool set of sunglasses that definitely suited the vibe.

I’ve managed to shoot everything in one hour and the end result is just incredible!

I’m looking forward to working with Andy again for sure :)

Just back from my first shoot with Andy and what a great evening that was. Couple of hours wondering around Portsmouth. Andy had been really clear in pre-shoot comms and was there waiting with his assistant for the evening. He had ideas of what he wanted to get and explained these to me really clearly.

All through the shoot he was polite and attentive, ensuring i was comfortable with locations and sharing the back of camera images for me to see how his ideas were working.

We hopefully captured some awesome images and I am sure this won't be our only shoot together.

If you're a model and get the chance to shoot with him I highly recommend you take it.

Worked with this amazing man again at sanctum studio for a joint portfolio builder.

He's always on time, well equipped with everything he'd possibly need for the shoot.

We went through some mood board images and worked together to get the best possible shots.

He brought his lovely girlfriend who is always on hand to help with anything, from reflector holding to moving things out of shot and my highlight (making tea!)

If I was to choose one photographer to work with for the rest of my life it would be Andy.

Andy’s photography skills are incredible, he has such an eye for detail! We recently worked on a studio shoot together and the way he used different types of lighting to create different styles of images was really unique and impressive. He made sure that the model was comfortable at all times and welcomed me to stay around for makeup touch ups throughout the shoot. I definitely recommend working with him if you get the chance!

OliviaGrace

Arranged a last minute shoot with Andy to help out with a video he was creating.

Communication was great beforehand and when I arrived he explained perfetly what the idea of the shoot was.

The shoot went really well and Andy is great to get along with and shoot with.

I really enjoyed working with Andy and would definitely work with him again in the future. A great photographer who I would definitely recommend.

Thank You! :D

Miss Nancy

Worked with Andy again today. Pre comms were perfect, I had an idea and he was interested, he got the concept down to a T and knew exactly what we wanted to achieve, and we did!

Andy's shoots are always fun, relaxed and we always have a laugh.

Received the images that night ( a few hours after finishing the shoot), such a quick turn around with such great editing work!

If I was to recommend anyone out of all the people I've worked with, Andy would be 1st on that list.

This was my second time working with Andy and it was just as much fun as the first! He was relaxed but professional which made for the perfect environment for a shoot. He didn’t rush me whilst I finished up the makeup and was happy to give me some feedback on how it looked under all the lights, which is always really helpful when doing my job! After the shoot I can’t believe how quickly he got the images back to us - they all look outstanding and are of such a high quality. I hope we can work together again in future ☺️

Andy is keen to motivate and spend his valuable time for other photographers and models. He organised this shoot as a networking event, together with Miss Nancy, a model here on PP.

Andy has his own YouTube channel which is certainly worth checking out.

As we had more photographers than models, we paired up for a few hours. Andy had an assistant with him to hold his lighting gear and his partner who was shooting a behind the scenes video. He was very professional and ensured the models we worked with were comfortable with everything he did.

Andy is experienced and organised. Any model looking to build their portfolio, should certainly consider booking Andy.

Miss Nancy

Me and Andy organised a networking shoot event together. Communication before and during was great as always. He brought along his lady and an assistant to capture it all on video which was fabulous, they are both wonderful people too!

I've received the images already, what can I say.. this man never fails to make me shocked. The images are out of this world. Andy has next level talent and so pleased we organised this!

Would recommend to absolutely anyone.

Had the pleasure of working with Andy at a networking photoshoot event that he organised with Miss Nancy last weekend. He was a pleasure to work with, very skilled and professional photographer, friendly and polite. We shot in a very beautiful location in Whitely and covered a few different sets and changes in a short period of time that we had.

I received the images the next day and l am very pleased with the results we achieved. Looking forward to working with him again in the future! Would highly recommend!

Miss Nancy

Me again! Worked with Andy on his workshop today. Pre comms were fab.

He's a great teacher and always made sure I was happy and was happy for me to grab a drink whenever I liked, very laid back.

Andy is always professional and I speak highly of him as he's a great guy with amazing talent. He knows exactly what works with whatever it is and smashes every shot he takes!

His partner also came along and is always friendly and makes me comfortable.

Don't hessistate to work with Andy , he's one of the best photographers I've worked with by far!

Miss Nancy

I worked with Andy yet again on a editorial based shoot in my home this time. He brought everything with him and set up very quickly. I was having my makeup done especially for this shoot and Andy had great input for what we were looking for.

With headshots I was a little ameture as to what to do with my head, but he guided me brilliantly and we got some cracking images as always.

Always a pleasure working with Andy!
