My first time shooting with Antony and it was a blast!!! Loved his energy ad approach. He worked alongside a fellow photographer and it was lovely to see them being so respectful of one another and myself and Elle Mae my fellow model on the shoot. The vibe was chill with great bursts of passion enthusiasm and productivity when shots were fired! Loved the ideas and natural development of the shoot and bloody LOVE the results. Antony has kindly shared some of the edits and I can't wait to share!! Really loved the shoot and would highly recommend working with him! I hope I get to again :)

Wow wow wow! I'm actually blown away by Antony's talent! I had the pleasure of working with Antony for a couple of hours at Kiln Studios. He sent me a moodboard beforehand so I knew the styles/theme of our shoot and what items to bring with me. We did a mix of fashion, lingerie, editorial and art nude using a variety of different lighting set ups and making full use of the areas within the studio. He gave me great direction but also allowed me to pose freely. I was gobsmacked when he said he'd only been doing model photography for around 5 years, I thought he'd been doing it for much longer. We had a very productive couple of hours and the time flew by. I highly recommend this very professional, respectful and talented photographer to all and would jump at the chance to work with him again. Thank you for an amazing shoot and for the incredible images.

Having met Antony a number of times now it was a pleasure to finally get the opportunity to shoot a few images with him at The Kiln Camera Club event hosted by Kiln Studios.

Despite Antony actually being one of the organisers of the event, we shot through a couple of different sets including some portraiture with gels and smoke, as well as a more edgy fashion look with a one light set up on the white infinity sweep. The back of the camera looked fab and Antony sent me a number of awesome edits from the evening!!

As well as being an awesome photographer who also has a passion of moody black and white (Hell YES!), Antony is an awesome person and a real delight to work with. I would highly reccomend him and look forward to seeing him again soon! Thank you Antony!!!

Second shoot with Anthony!

Always a pleasure working with him. Communications are great and he’s always professional.

We got some absolute bangers which I never have any doubt when working with Ant.

Can’t wait till we shoot again!

Antony was professional, patient, and incredibly talented during our recent shoot. The photos are amazing, and I can't wait to share them. I would definitely work with him again!

I am absolutely in love with the photos I have seen so far and can't wait to share them with others. I would highly recommend Antony to anyone seeking a talented and enjoyable photographer.✨✨✨

Antony came back to Basford Hurst Cottage this week after I contacted him to say we had had a cancellation on Sophia Gray's studio day and would he be interested.

It's always a pleasure to welcome Antony to Basford Hurst Cottage. His pre comms were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed. He worked really well alongside Sophia and the images they have produced are just wonderful!!!

We would of course highly reccomend Antony and look forward to seeing him again soon!! Thank you Antony!!

Shot with Ant recently during a group shoot held at the Xfactory....Ant has a really relaxed manner so is very easy to work with. He gave direction well, knowing instinctively the look he hoped to achieve resulting in some really nice images...the snaps from the mini set we shot turned out great!

Would certainly recommend him and would happily work with him again.

I had my first shoot with Ant on Wednesday evening.

We had discussed a sunset shoot while the weather was nice. Communication was fab and he had some great ideas for the shoot.

Would definitely recommend him to any models

Thanks Ant

Antony came back to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Anna Chum on her two day sold out studio event.

It was a pleasure to welcome Antony back to Basford, all pre comms were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. During the shoot he was extremely helpful with setting up and taking down one of our backdrops and made sure to look after the location throughout the shoot.

The back of the camera looked great and he was always respectful of Anna throughout their shoot time. We would highly reccomend Antony and look forward to seeing him again soon. Thank you Antony.

Antony came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Cheryl Leigh. All pre comms with Antony were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot.

Whilst here at Basford Antony was completely respectful of our location and made sure to ask if he ever needed anything. He is polite, friendly and easy to talk to and worked well alongside Cheryl throughout their time here.

We would absolutely reccomend Antony and we look forward to welcoming him back to Basford again soon!! Thank you Antony!!

I had a great time shooting with Ant at Basford Hurst Cottage.

His comms over the last few weeks have been great and the mood board he sent me had some really fab ideas that I'm sure we pulled off.

From the images Ant showed me at the time they look amazing and I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

I know this venue was new to us, I feel we both worked well together.

Very professional through out and a genuine lovely guy.

I have known Antony for a while and worked alongside him on several occasions.

He has a great eye for a picture and is a top guy.

Happy to regard him as a friend and fellow photographer and I can happily recommend him to all.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Anthony today. He sent me some ideas beforehand so I knew what to pack well in advance (so helpful when you're planning a tour!), and on the day I found him to be super laid-back, kind and professional. He shot some beautiful, creative and varied images that I look forward to seeing edited and we had a laugh in the process. I hope to get the opportunity to shoot with Anthony again soon and highly recommend him to others.

Yesterday I took part in a group shoot that Anthony had organised. As one of the two models there, I was well looked after, and the shoot went well. All of the photographers got on with each other, taking a series of photos against the backdrop of the Roaches in Staffordshire, a very well-chosen site, with the magic hour light being particularly effective. Although the nature of group shoots means that I didn't get to work with Anthony as much as would have been the case at a one-to-one shoot, he was easy to get along with, and clearly knows a lot about photography. I look forward to seeing the photos from the shoot, and I would strongly recommend working with him.

Really enjoyed shooting with Ant at The Boardroom the other day, pre comms were great and he had a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve, even down to the super cool flexible lighting set up!

A very productive 3 hours, with lots done, thank you!

I was so pleased to meet and work with this lovely gent when the opportunity arose during an organised flour workshop hosted at Natural Light Spaces studio! :D What better way to shoot together for the first time than with a super cool theme too!

It’s one of the last shoots I was able to do before the second lockdown of the year set in - thus I’m massively grateful that the event could go ahead as planned and I got to team up with the small, but wonderful photographer groups of that day: of which Anthony was a part of. :) My job does feel exceptionally rewarding with experiences like these - the memories living on in fabulous photos of which Antony has already kindly shared with me! Just take a peek through our profiles and you’ll get an idea of the level of creativity that was rocking and rolling. :D Everything was set up to ensure that we could work safely during an obviously precarious time (as we know) and this allowed our minds at rest and to subsequently concentrate on rapports and picture-making without that weight of worry. The one-to-one allocated shooting windows meant that I was able to connect with Antony as an individual creative... And it’s the only way in all honesty because he’s a terrific and passionate photographer who thinks carefully about the work he seeks to produce, putting a lot into it. He came well-prepared with some ideas even that enabled us to ride off the inspo and get some unique shots in the time that we were working together. And my - talk about catching that moment! :D Savage hair flicks, mood and drama amidst all those messy clouds of wonderful flour hehe! I have much admiration for Antony’s approach and involvement in the day - plus his visual focus and abilities to make a photo with great impact.

A truly nice guy and someone who comes offering utmost professionalism and courtesy towards everyone else there on the day. I felt very at ease and confident working with Anthony... Plus we also did a fair bit of chatting and laughing as we worked and during the breaks/downtime which is always cool and makes a shoot that bit more fun. :) He came across very well in my eyes, and is someone I would happily recommend to other models. Also hoping very much to get the chance to shoot together again in the future at some point!

Thank you so much for coming along Antony! It was a blast! 🌟

Ant is absolutely lovely and was a pleasure to shoot with.

Pre-comms could not be faulted and he was honestly just easy to work and communicate with from start to finish.

He takes great pride in his work and is always willing to go the extra mile. I had some shots in mind so he went a researched the lighting set up needed to recreate the images and pulled it off brilliantly.

Thank you again!

Would 100% recommend and hope to cross paths again soon

Shot with Ant today! Such a lovely guy, really down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend any model to shot with Ant.

Great communication pre-shoot and extremely considerate throughout!

10/10!

I was super happy when Antony asked to attend my Trio event with Tillie Feather and Nico Dee at Natural Light Spaces, as I have met Antony a few times prior to this, and have been honoured to watch his photography skills progress throughout his time shooting.

Antony was early, was prepared, and had an abundance of ideas ready to go!

Before the event started I discussed with all photographers how the event would be run, and the few rules that I had, and they all agreed to comply without hesitation, which increased my trust in those attending.    

Ant is super nice - he has a warm aura around him that makes you feel comfortable immediately, and he is majorly respectful. He is a very creative man with a great deal of talent, and is always willing to learn more.

I really hope that Ant likes the images he created as much as I do! He did a great job, and working with him is a total dream.

Recommended from me - thank you so much Ant. Till next time!
