3rd time working with Ant this time we explored the streets of London! Ant scouted out some amazing locations which suited the vibe we were going for really well! We did a combination of film and digital which is super exciting!

Always good to have a catch up and a laugh too, highly recommend to all :)

I had the pleasure of being able to work with Ant again at a group shoot he organised for his local camera group. I knew it was going to be a wonderful shoot as Ant is the most friendly and genuine person and extremely organised helpful in the process of setting the shoot up :)

Ant is a talented photographer, I love his style and his processing. We always seem to like the same images too, I think he has a great eye for things. Completely reliable, professional and just damn right lovely! The group shoot was also very sucessful, kudos to his planning and enthusiasm.

Worked with Ant today on a mini group shoot with two other photographers they were all an absolute pleasure to work with, all really sweet guys, the work that I’ve seen on the back of the camera looks wonderful, they all had very different styles and were more than happy to take on my odd bits of input with styling etc had a really chilled but productive afternoon I can’t wait to see how the images turn out!

Would very much recommend!

Had the distinct pleasure of being followed by Ant for some time - So When pitched with the Idea of Arranging to Shoot with this Guy... Well there was no hesitation i just got straight into jumping right into details and arrangement's.

Which was so simple, Communication very prompt and professional not one angel or subject was missed we covered everything from time, date, sun, all the details that one would need to know for a location shoot and then the most important part a location to set the right theme desired.. WOW he knew the most amazing place's in buxton upon the peak district.

The Shoot was a Country theme with suits and some excellent prop additions suggested by all of us i also got my good friend model & actor Roseyrach involved the way Ant work's felt very comfortable and relaxed at each stage he was considerate of how warm we was what idea's needed to be suggested to each aspect of where we was shooting.

What an absolute gentleman it was so rewarding, it was brilliant because what we've created is amazing. Very talented and dedicated photographer.

Someone who doesn't give himself enough credit for the talent he has, I couldn't recommend him enough. If you get the chance to shoot with him, just take it already! You will never be disappointed.

looking forward to our next adventure

regards

Nicky :)

Life Like's photography is to such a high standard, we had a TFP shoot planned and my gut told me it would be a good shoot. My god, it was. So pleased, and the photos will help me get more work in the future, so thank you. Highly recommend him. He's also extremely friendly and professional.

Possibly the most organised shoot I have ever had in my sweet little life haha! Ant was amazing in comms, exactly on par what I like and how I run things. He kindly picked me up at the station and supplied all sorts of treats including warm drinks to combat the freezing, snowy weather. He was very patient and made sure I got lots of breaks from the cold at a cafe nearby to our location. Thanks to his preparedness and prescouting of our shoot locations, things went very smoothly indeed, as smoothly as they could have gone in such undesirable weather! Ant even treated me to a lovely pub lunch with the rest of the group afternand, and we booked a second shoot on the spot (this time, for July hehe).

Thank you very much Ant for lovely shoot. Looking forward to the next one!

Had the pleasure of shoot with Ant last week in central London.

Pre-communications were spot on. We knew exactly what we were shooting and where. Unfortunately, one of our locations was unaccessible. However, we found plenty of alternative options that worked out really well. Ant was professional, kind and a good laugh. Ant was kind enough to keep me topped up with hot drinks to make the cold weather a little more bearable! Despite the cold day, we managed to get some truly stunning shots and can’t wait to work with again!

Lovely gent and highly recommended!! :D

I worked with Ant, after he hired me for life style commercial shoot.

Before the shoot, Ant was very on point and clear what he was wanting and expecting sending breakdowns, mood boards and what I would be doing. I worked with a great team, One other proffessional model, and a few extra's who have never modeled. Not only Did Ant manae to direct us models, and do all the technical stuff a photographer does, but he also had to direct the other extra's. What a great job, very proffessional, and welcoming, plus it was freezing, Ant made sure we was all happy and warm, and ran everything by us. Very much enjoyed the shoot! Would highly recommend Ant, and hopefully i will lucky enough to be hired and shoot with Him again!

Ant, Ant, Ant..where do I start! Ant is one of those rare photographers/ people that you just couldn't find enough positive things to say about! From the very beginning Ant was very friendly and detailed in his communications, whilst also being considerate and understanding of how the process works for the model. He basically understands the nature of what he is doing, executes it amazingly and throughout makes it easy and fun for the people he is working with. He is a chatty, gave great direction, looked after his models and created beautiful images. Highly recommended!

Ant booked me for a group portrait location workshop last month, his pre-communication was excellent and he ran the workshop incredibly well, it was organised but fun at the same time!

Ant makes sure everyone is having a good time and will continue to make people laugh with his questionable humour :p

We listened to 90's hiphop opposite an elderly café which was hilarious!

Ant treats his models very well, you will have a blast and I highly recommend him!

I look forward to shooting with Ant every time!

He knows your right (or left) angles and is so warm and friendly, he makes you feel at ease from the get-go and even brings a tent for changing wardrobe which is fab when shooting outdoors haha.

Ant is very capable of directing but love that he lets me do what I feel is right at the time and whatever I'm comfortable with and is very open to ideas.

We have a laugh on every shoot but most importantly his final images and eye for detail are just second to none.

2nd December cant come soon enough!

Had a brilliant first shoot with Ant today on location. He organised a group of four and we covered various locations and styles that I loved - fitness and boho fashion!

The shoot was brilliantly organised, Ant had put a lot of preplanning in in terms of choosing the right locations to suit each set, and has an amazing eye for styling which he demonstrated with detailed mood boards, as well as picking a nice number of photographers and a great positive dynamic between the group - while Group shoots can easily become stressful and manic, his was a real pleasure to be a part of and the shoot flowed seamlessly!

Ant was very considerate of my comfort throughout, providing a tent for me to change in, and consistently checking I was warm enough as well as ensuring there was time scheduled in for short breaks. He kept a great atmosphere going throughout the shoot too, and was calm, laid back and totally respectful whilst also being easy to chat to, I instantly just got a good vibe from him.

As a photographer ant has real natural talent, his style is refined and classy, and he takes a quality over quantity approach. He also aided the newer photographers in getting the best images possible so I was free to just focus on posing. His knowledge of photographic techniques combined with a natural creative eye really shone thru - I absolutely loved what I saw on the camera and can’t wait to see the results of our shoot.

I can’t recommend Ant enough! Work with him!

Having been a long time admirer of Lifelikes work, I was chuffed when we both agreed it would be a great idea. Pre-comm was spot on and meeting Ant felt like meeting an old mate, super relaxed shoot with ideas bouncing has resulted in possibly my best work. Editing has been brilliant and super efficient with lots of collaboration, HIGHLY recommend this dude

I had a shoot with Ant for part of a camera club evening shoot on location to make the most of the beauitful evening light. I have met Ant before so I already know he's really friendly and chatty so it would be a good evening. The group were a mix of photography abilities but Ant was really good at briefing me on who would need me to pose away for them and who will be full of ideas they'd like me to try so I knew what to expect which was useful. They were a really friendly bunch and we all had a good laugh.

Ant brought along a pop up tent for me to change in as well! Super useful!

Highly recommended and I look forward to working with him and the group again.

I worked with Anthony yesterday on Kris Karl's Portfolio builder at Scarlet door.

I got on with Anthony straight away, he is lovely person to chat to, great sense of humour, skilful photographer and professional throughout the shoot.

The images I have seen on the back of his camera look amazing, as well as doing studio work we also went outside and worked in a local park which work really well,creating soft and dreamy looks.

I am more than happy to work with Anthony again and I look forward to seeing the results from this shoot.

Best

Carla :)

Anthony has been by far the nicest, genuine photographer I’ve worked with. His attitude towards the day was laid back and made the experience very comfortable. I had a sneak peak at some of his work on the day and I’m very much looking forward to the final images.

Great jokes and an all round great experience. I hope to work with you again soon Anthony!

Highly recommended to all!

Ant contacted me about modelling for a camera club group in London a while back - his comms were absolutely first class and I knew we would get on just fine when we met, and I was right! Ant was a total gentleman from start to finish; one of the most respectful, thoughtful and down-to-Earth photographers I can think of. The group had mixed experience with model photography and Ant conducted himself brilliantly in front of them, setting a great example of how to treat your model. The images on the back of the camera look wonderful and I look forward to seeing them edited, and to modelling for Ant again next month. Highest possible recommendation!

Had a lovely first shoot with Anthony. He's friendly, easy-going and professional, to which I also felt comfortable in his presence, it was like meeting and working with someone I had known for a long time. His communications were great, he provided a mood board for the shoot style beforehand which was helpful. Anthony knows what he wants out of a picture, and has great eye for detail and provides great direction. I love his enthusiasm and combining our ideas we were able to work fantastically well as a team.

I would highly recommend and look forward to working together again!

I’ve had my first shooting with Anthony a week ago and I must say that was like meeting a friend. He’s very easy-going and friendly. We’ve been unlucky about the weather but it didn’t make us to have a bad day. He pays attention to the model’s work. I didn’t have this feeling of « We’re here to shoot and just to shoot ». You know?

It’s very comfortable and great to work with Anthony. I will definitely shoot with him again. I obiviously recommend him.

Thanks again Anthony!

It was my second time shooting for Croxley camera club. This time as a duo with Lupinenoir. I arranged the shoot with Anthony. The pre-shoot communication was superb. Anthony always responded swiftly and we discussed all the necessary details.

What a great night it was! Not only all the members were friendly, they also had a very good idea what they wanted to achieve. It was a nice change to a standard camera club night when you don't usually get directed much. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to model for Croxley camera club again.
