What a legend!!!!!!!!!I am so happy to have an opportunity to work with Anthony. His work is so high end timeless.

To start with, I was amazed by his very great and friendly communications. It was so easy to discuss ideas and set the date for a shoot. He even managed to get a make up artist on a very last minute!

On the day, he introduced me to his lovely family, walked me through all the plan and made sure I'm comfortable and happy.

The shoot went very well: we had good songs in the background, the house was filled in with lots of good vibes and energy. Anthony is incredibly knowledgeable photographer and made sure that the lighting is nothing but perfect. He built very creative and beautiful sets and even used multiple of cameras to make sure that we capturing best shots ever.

If you want chill shoot, beautiful pictures and amazing company - Anthony is your person. He reminded me why do I love doing modelling so much - to be around incredibly talented and lovely people.

ANTHONY, I can't thank you enough for a such a great day. You and your lovely family made my day. Please pass my greetings to them ! You are very lucky to have this wonderful familiaaaaaa .

Thank you for all the hype and excitement.

Lots of love,Rose x

I've been a "student" of LIFELIKE for some years and I simply can't recommend his workshops enough. Ant goes out of his way to ensure that participants leave his sessions fulfilled & brimming with confidence.

Newcomer - not a problem, Ant will have chosen all the shooting locations, worked with the model on wardrobe, and will provide mountains of hints on the day on how to compose great images.

New to studio shooting, not a problem, Ant will set (and more importantly explain) the lighting config so that you go away with great images and understand how to recreate the lighting yourself.

More experienced - no worries, Ant will step back and just be a safety net if things aren't working out.

Ant is also very particular about "group" shoots and ensures that only one photographer at a time is working with the model, this "forces" students to practice directing models one to one, but in a fail safe and supportive environment.

Ant also ensures models are treated respectfully and sets out clear boundaries of acceptable behaviour at the start of each and every session, regardless of your level of experience.

However above all, Ant is as enthusiastic about your photography as he is his own. Many times I've seen Ant bounce of the walls when a student gets it right and produces something amazing on the day.

So go ahead and book a workshop session with Ant, you won't regret it, I've been on several now and everyone involved has always been in awe of Ant's professionalism, generosity & encouragement.

Hello All,

Firstly welcome to Lifelike's portfolio am sure you are extremely impressed.

Secondly his references left by myself and fellow models and industry professionals will surely have captured your attention too with regards to how humble and good this man is.

We have just finished our latest shoot in which we switched up the styles we normally shoot i.e suits suits suits haha.

We did more casual ideas this time out on location simple relaxed poses nothing extreme or over complicated. Lets just get out an get some nice natural lit stuff.

Ended with a only a few suit shots an studio captures.

As always he arrives on time

With a warm welcoming

A smile and all his gear ready to go.

He has good depth an knowledge when it comes to locations and ideas he wants to get done.

Till the next one

Stay awesome

had a fantastic first shoot with Anthony yesterday!

communication beforehand was clear, organised and full of creative ideas, luckily we shared the same love for ideas so this made the shoot so much more exciting and enjoyable! Ant made me feel 100% comfortable from the minute we met till the very end, so easy to talk too and such a laugh. Very good with giving direction as well as listening to my ideas and ensuring I also got what I wanted from the images. Can’t wait to work with Ant again, hopefully very soon in the new year! and ofcourse would definitely recommend him to work with 😀

I had another fantastic shoot with Anthony! He organised a studio day at a studio in Watford and it was such a lovely experience.

Anthonys pre comms are second to none and it was so easy to plan and organise. I knew exactly what to expect and also what clothes to bring. Anthony has booked some time to shoot for himself and like our first shoot he was an absolute joy to work with. He is so fun, passionate and positive - the kind of photographer that makes you feel like a million dollars whilst modelling. His work is outstanding and the images are SO GOOD!

Highly highly recommended

Ant's name popping up in my inbox always brings such a smile to my face - he is truly one of my favourite people to work with! Once again I made my way to sunny(ish) Hertfordshire to model for him and his workshop attendees. Pre-comms are always excellent and Ant always goes the extra mile when it comes to model welfare - not only making sure I'm comfortable but ensuring his students know how and why this is important. Wonderful conversation, loads of laughs and gorgeous images means I have no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly!

Had the most fantastic experience working with Ant at Saturday’s group shoot he organized !

Pre comms were first class and Ant is a very professional, easy to work with and very talented photographer!

Very happy to highly recommend to all models of course !

I've finally had the great opportunity to work with Ant. He booked me for one of his events before the lockdown and we had to postpone the date... but it was worth the wait! :-D

I really enjoyed working with Ant. He is such a lovely person to be around, an excellent photographer, and a great organizer.

In terms of pre-shoot communication, everything was absolutely spot-on, very well detailed, and very clear.

The day shoot was supposed to take place outdoor, in a stunning location Ant previously chose. We've been quite unlucky with the weather. Despite the rain, Ant had a plan B and we managed to do the first part of the shoot in his lovely home studio where we created beautiful images. Ant was always available to assist the other photographers and making sure everyone was happy.

Ant truly cares about the model and the other photographers. He even brought a changing tent for outdoor. At the end of the shoot, everyone was very pleased including me. I am really looking forward to working with Ant again.

I can't recommend him enough!

Thanks, Ant, you've been great!

Back to shooting after lockdown and was naturally anxious that I was going to be rusty after months of not shooting. There was only one photographer I was going to shoot with to get back to it and get my groove back :D.

Another great shoot with Ant, great locations and outfits made for some awesome pictures i can't wait to see. Worth sweating in the hot weather for :P

Thanks again Ant :) until next time!

Wowsers!

What an incredible first shoot with Ant!

Ants pre comms were second to none and I found him super easy to communicate with.

Ant took me to some stunning locations near him and his wife cooked a beautiful lunch just before we got going which was really appreciated.

Ant had some fantastic ideas and an excellent shoot flow, he even brought me a model changing tent which made life so much easier :)

Images look amazing and he comes highly recommended from me.

Shoot number 2! So much fun (even in cold and rainy London).

I absolutely love working with Ant. Great ideas for locations, gives great direction, is the most respectful photographer and loves coffee as much as I do. Can't ask for more than that :D Bring on shoots 3 and 4 and thank you as always Ant!

They say third time's the charm but Ant was just as charming on our two previous shoots as well - what a gent! Once again, it was a pleasure to model for him and his small group of workshop attendees in Watford today; many of whom are regulars, which is a testament to Ant's knowledge, kindness and professionalism. He always creates a wonderful working atmosphere but was particularly considerate today since I've been struck down with a cold. I think we produced some gorgeous images, which I look forward to seeing edited, and hope we can work together again in the future. Highest possible recommendation!

I recently arranged an epic Asian bridal shoot with a big team, I needed a second photographer last minuite and Anthony stepped up to the challenge! It was a joy working with Anthony he is full of good ideas, he complimented Mike perfectly and was great at directing a large team. Anthony is a talented photographer and a lovely person. We produced some beautiful images, I highly recommend him and look forward to working together again soon, :)

My first shoot with Ant was awesome!! Communications were great for our outdoor location shoot and Ant had some great ideas for places to shoot around London. Ant is easy to get along with and working with him was a dream!! His enthusiasm and energy is infectious and we got some great photos that I'm really proud of and can't wait to share. Thank you Ant and looking forward to shoot 2!! :)

Oh Look it's Nemo

Ant is not only a talented photographer, he’s one of those people who walk into a room where you just feel completely at ease. There’s no big expectations or direction demands with him, there’s just heaps of creative energy that you can’t help but be sucked into.

He has a ridiculous amount of patience and enthusiasm for getting ‘that’ shot and I could’ve spent hours bouncing ideas and shooting all sorts of weird and wonderful sets with him. Ants photography isn’t about gadgets or gizmos or fiddly bits of tech; It’s about capturing stories and his end result editorial work is simply poetry without the words.

Holly Smoke's..

What to say what to add..

Too the already superb references of this fine gentleman's abilities with the camera and his super lovely personality.

Right part 2 of the peak district was slightly adapted due to my model agency partner being unavailable..

So we travelled to many locations

Had 3 epic suits

So 3 changes.

Lifelike gives amazing input and details on the day with direction and ideas. For poses he know what works.

Communication is spot on.

Super professional.

Such a cool guy

Part 3 soon :)

Yet another one with the lovely Ant! Like the first time we worked together, this time was also a group shoot which Ant had put together with those from his camera club.

Ant really thought through and then fought through the location, which we arrived to on an unfortunately rainy day in July. Well that didn't stop us, not one bit! Haha. Ant is also great at helping each individual photographer achieve their desired results for the shoot, whether stylistically or technically speaking.

The first of the edits from the day is absolutely stunning, needless to say, just look at Ant's port!

I know Ant and I will continue to work together for a long time yet! :) He really is one to watch...

Ant rode in like a night in shining armour after I contacted him to fill a last minute cancellation. The two other models, two hairstylists, makeup artist, main photographer and I were all thrilled to be able to work with Ant and maximise our time at an absolutely gorgeous, derelict old hotel.

I knew Ant would be the right choice thanks to his ability to think on his feet (and, unlike some, to show up!) and I was right. The few edits I have seen are already looking amazing, and I can't wait for the rest. He is a truly excellent photographer and we were lucky to be able to work with him, especially on such short notice.

Thanks so much Ant for a great (albeit impromptu) second shoot. See you in two weeks for #3!

Ria :)

Had the great pleasure of working with Ant on an Asian Bridal group shoot. He's got a great eye and is very particular (which is great!) When the lighting is being difficult, he'll be very patient adjusting it until it is just right, producing some killer shots. Having seen the raw images, I'm super excited to see the final edits.

Aside from his talent, he's such a genuinely friendly and easy going person, great for a newbie like me to feel as ease.

Can highly recommend to anyone, hope to work with you again one day!

Ant came along to a big shoot I was part of at the last minute to help out. I had a huge workload on this shoot so I really appreciated him coming along at short notice and shooting alongside me. From what I could see he did a great job and is clearly a very talented photographer ( a bit too talented, I think he will show me up when the images come out! ). He is also bald like me which is a big plus point from my point of view as I don't like hairy photographers showing up my lack of folicles! Ant was super helpful to everyone on the team and I'd be delighted to work with him again. I'd recommend him to any model to work with him. As a fellow photographer on a shoot he was great to work with as well. Thanks Ant, hope our paths cross again! Mike
