This shoot was something really different for both of us! Tim and I shoot every month, and every month he manages to come up with completely new ideas. Being an artist, he is not afraid to experiment and shoots with Tim are more a creative adventure rather than a production line. This shoot was a testament to this!

Tim's house would soon be decorated, so we tested out some ideas for a painting and decorating theme. I was simply in a pair of baggy dungarees with a paint roller. This was a challenge for me because I usually use the curvature of my body to pull poses but in the baggy dungarees I was out of my comfort zone. Despite this, Tim's ability to see lines and shapes and interesting formations of shadow and light made for some really cool images, sort of using the paint roller as an extra straight line to add into the angular poses that he captured.

The second idea was using clingfilm! Tim had thought this out well to ensure I was comfortable and safe as I was to be completely wrapped in the film. He checked I was ok throughout the wrapping process and was always mindful of my comfort. The clingfilm created some really eerie effects and was something completely different for both of us. The beauty of this was though that Tim afterwards decided the clingfilm look wasn't for him as it felt sinister and creepy (I personally thought they were pretty cool!) but this didn't matter - as I mentioned, this is a creative adventure for Tim, and he doesn't mind if things don't turn out perfectly, it's in the process not the result. He said to me himself once when he was teaching me to paint and I was struggling with perfectionism.. "if it goes wrong its ok, we can just paint over it!". This is the same attitude he takes to shooting which is why shoots with him are always a pleasure, relaxed, creative and fun. I am pretty sure I will still model for Tim even when I am in a zimmer frame. :D x

Another fantastic 2nd shoot with this very talented photographer. He is very reliable and respectful. Always a pleasure working with him. Tim was so kind enough that he went out n got me my favourite drink n chocolate. I really enjoyed working with Tim. And I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Tim very kindly provided me with accommodation for a few nights during my Hampshire tour. He had prepared a lovely room for my stay, with all the amenities I could ask for, as well as lovely home cooked food every day. The comments about his amazing cooking in previous references are definitely not exaggerated!

We did two shoots during my time there, one on location and one in his home setup, he was polite and respectful throughout my stay and he produced some lovely images from the shoots.

I would definitely recommend him to travelling models, and I wouldn't hesitate to shoot with him again :)

Had another lovely shoot with Tim earlier this week. This time Tim went back to his artistic roots! He explored a new room to shoot in, and like always Tim saw captures in places I wouldn't even have thought of.

Things flow so smoothly when you are in Tim's artistic flow - the less I am in 'model mode', the better, and Tim is really talented in terms of capturing you as your natural self. Tim's shoots also encourage me to think out of the box and be creative with posing, you won't be stood there doing your standard S curve with your hands in your hair, for sure. :) This always makes shooting with him a creative experience rather than a normal shoot, which I love.

We then moved on to painting, Tim's forte! This is where he gets his attention to detail, and out-of-the-box approach to shoots. Holding a pose for a long time could be exhausting and uncomfortable but not at Tim's. He always has comfort in mind, makes sure it's warm and that you're ok in the pose, allowing you time to stretch out when you need it. His paintings are truly beautiful, too!! Honoured to be a part of them and thoroughly enjoy working with him always :)

This shoot was one of my favourites ever. We had planned to work indoors doing a painting based shoot, but seeing that the weather was lovely, last minute, Tim organised a location shoot with a picnic! We went to Waverley Abbey, Tim chose the absolute perfect location for this shoot. We worked through figure and beauty style images around the picturesque ruin - there was so much inspiration around us it was hard to get a bad shot!! Tim always had my comfort in mind throughout, knowing I can feel the cold even on a sunny day. He'd also packed a delicious lunch that I knew I'd be able to eat without bloating risk! So I really had nothing to concern myself about except exploring the beautiful location and posing to my heart's content. Tim also brought some props which were perfectly suited to the location, and really made our shots stand out. Throughout the entire process Tim was courteous to others as well as my privacy, stopping immediately when there were people around. Like always, Tim has a natural eye for composition and form, and no matter how many times we have shot we never fail to get something new and different - he is a true creative. This felt like the perfect day out for me with a friend, it didn't even feel like I was working, and like always I tend to come away from shoots with Tim uplifted, inspired and in a happy mood :) very grateful for the friendship and working relationship we've built over the years, and his photography just gets better and better every time. Thanks Tim!

Had a great first shoot with Tim at his home studio.

Pre comms were excellent and knew exactly what the aim of the shoot was. I arrived and felt comfortable straight away. He made me feel very welcome, offering snacks and drinks as i had just had a long drive.

Tim showed me his art gallery and he is incredibly talented! Absolutely love his work. Tim is an easy going guy, down to earth and conversation flowed throughout.. having many laughs along the way.

He is a true professional when it comes to photography & lighting. Knows how to get the perfect image. We even had time to go outdoors and get some natural light shots in the fields and woodland. I got to view the images as we went along to see what we were creating. I am so happy with the images we created and hope to work together again soon! Recommend 100% to any model.

Had a wonderful outdoor shoot with Tim. This was pretty much our first time doing outdoor, and we worked through some beautiful art nude styles with some fashion thrown in. I have really noticed how much tims photography has come on especially over the last few shoots. Because he's an artist he already has that eye for an image,and now he's getting more and more confident with editing his images are stunning. As always, Tim was a true gentleman and always respectful and mindful of my comfort. I am pretty sensitive to the cold so I sometimes worry about outdoor shoots this time of year, but Tim didn't put any pressure on me at all to continue once I'd got too cold. He brought some fresh fruit for us to snack on and hot coffee too and made sure we had a break, which made the shoot even more lovely. Because he has studied the nude form for years as an artist, he didn't need to shoot for ages and ages to get what he wanted - he took a quality over quantity approach in this shoot which meant we got some gorgeous images but also meant I stayed warm and refreshed throughout. We then returned to his to take some photos that will enable him to finish a beautiful painting. Love working with Tim, and you will too!

I just had an awesome shoot with this very talented photographer at his very nice n unique n cosy apartment and I really can't recommend him highly enough (partly due to the fact that he made me a mean cup of coffee and partly because he is just generally a pretty awesome guy!). Tim is so easy to get along with and I could actually spend as much time chatting to him as I could shooting with him. We shot a mixture of portrait to art nude level and his main concern throughout the shoot was my comfort and warmth. Tim is not only a perfect gentleman and very easy going, he also has a great eye for an image, knows exactly what he wants to shoot and does so in a calm and relaxed manner. I would really love the opportunity to work with Tim again as I feel there is a lot more we could do. Very highly recommended to everyone.

Had a lovely shoot with Tim at his studio at home. I've shot with Tim a billion times for a reason - his shoots are always creative, always different, and just a really enjoyable experience. Because Tim is an artist primarily, he has a different perspective to many photographers. This time, we did some bodyscapes, which are new for Tim but as an artist, he simply finds these angles you would never expect, that look really cool. Shooting with Tim widens my perspective when it comes to posing and how creative modelling can really be. The whole time during our shoot, I was comfortable, made welcome in his home, and in company of a good friend. Thanks Tim x

Have now shot with Tim umpteen times, and I hope this is the case far far into the future :) shooting with Tim is pretty special. His place is like a den of creativity, being an artist he appreciates beauty in everything and sees things me as a model might not see. It's always a chance for me to explore different things than I usually do as a model, and I am always surprised by what we create! Tim's main medium is paint, but every time I see I his photography has come on more and more.

Tim is not afraid to think outside the box - we shoot something completely different every time, and he always works from an art based angle, this time we shot some beautiful Degas inspired bathing images, and to finish we experimented with an androgynous style wearing a suit.

Tim's communication is always great, he's very laid back, accommodating and sensitive to a models needs to feel physically and emotionally comfortable. There's never any rush or pressure, and it always feels like escapism to shoot with Tim! Thank you xx

had such a wonderful shoot- great pre comms and warming personality meant the shoot flew by. im really looking forward to working with him again in the future x

Had a lovely time working with Tim as always! This shoot seemed to fly by, as we were inspired by different ideas the entire way through. We usually shoot in the morning, but this time Tim and I shot in the afternoon so he had to be adaptable when it came to light! He worked wonders even with the failing light. We shot some gorgeous soft images in a night dress, and then experimented with material folds of a shawl. Tim especially captures expression well in portraits which really shone through in this shoot.

It's great working with Tim because he is an artist, therefore this challenges me to pose differently than I would for a photograph. He spots things that a photographer might not, and looks at things from a different perspective. This is really refreshing and always something new for me. Tim's attention to detail is amazing, and he captured shots that I didn't even know would look great, but turned out beautifully.

Tim was, as ever, very welcoming, laid back and considerate. I am always completely at ease in his company. He always ensures his house is warm, there's coffee in the pot, and there are delicious nutritious snacks :) :)

Love working with Tim. Thank you x

Was such a pleasure to finally meet Tim yesterday and work with a proper artist like him.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent and Tim still wanted to maintain our shoot despite my level change, which means a lot for me.

He picked me up to the station (and dropped me back) and as soon as we arrived at his place I was greeted warmly with a cup of tea and amazing french snacks and OMG the music he's listening is actually the same than mine, this guy definitely has such good taste :-D

He then showed me his hut where he stocks all his beautiful art work... so beautiful!

We've started to shoot a mix of portrait and dance, going with the flow, capturing the movement, with a variety of background, light, atmosphere.

Even if Tim is, first of all, an amazing artist, I found him actually really good with the light setup as well. The atmosphere and the tones were lovely. We finished a drawing session and let me tell you, this guy is talented!

So yes, I can only recommend Tim. He's such a lovely person, a genuine guy, very creative, full of amazing ideas, interesting and very professional and respectful.

Thank you for being so kind and welcoming me, I had such a wonderful time. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Had yet another lovely time shooting with Tim at his home. For this shoot, we experimented with fitness styles as well as figure studies. I love how Tim's photography develops every time we shoot!

As a very experienced artist he just has a natural eye for image and detail, everything from the way hair flows to fabric folding. Shooting with Tim always leaves me in a relaxed and happy mood, we have great chats between sets and his home is really lovely, inspiring and somewhat a safe haven from the outside world! Whatever mood I come in (this time car had repeatedly broken down) Tim's manner and nature are calming and always puts me in a good mindframe to create images.

As I've said before, you'll feel at ease really quickly in Tim's company, he's a respectful and kind person who genuinely loves art and creativity. In my experience, the world needs more Tims!

Thanks for a lovely shoot :)

Had a great first shoot with Tim recently. His pre comms were very good and he was kind enough to pick me up from the station. I really enjoy working with artists as they tend to have a slightly different approach to the shooting process and it was a lot of fun to work with Tim. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and he has my full recommendation

I recently had a shoot with Tim.

A bit of a short notice shoot as I contacted him a few days before hand.

Tim picked me up from the train station and took me back to his very nice home studio.

We got along very well and got some amazing images.

Unfortunately our shoot was cut a little short due to train times.

But even then we had an amazing shoot together and I hope to shoot with him again. :)

I went to work with Tim at his home studio last week! It was a fun and productive shoot and im happy with the results. We worked with a mixture of natural light and stufio flash, up to art nude levels. I felt safe throughout and was provided a lovely lunch as well! Tim is a retired Art teacher, with a clear artful intent and a good eye for light. I enjoyed seeing the various paintings he had painted around the house. Tim was professional and friendly and im very happy to leave my recommendation here for other models to see.

Shot with Tim again yesterday and had another lovely experience. This time we focused on more dynamic poses in dresses and how the fabric folded. Tim's place is really inspiring to be in when it comes to being creative, and he is really talented and passionate about his art, which is beautiful.

Tim's photography improves each time I shoot with him too, and he has a great eye for capturing an image.

As ever, Tim was kind, welcoming and relaxed, ensuring my comfort throughout the shoot by making sure our workspace was comfortable and warm. He is always well set up in advance and approaches each shoot with an idea of what he wants to achieve which develops over time. He focuses on detail, and has a quality over quantity approach with both his art and his photography.

You'll not meet a nicer person than Tim either, really enjoy his company and always come away from shoots more relaxed and feeling positive and fresh.

Thanks again Tim!

I recently had the pleasure of spending a week working with Tim in Cornwall, alongside another model and photographer.

Although the weather wasn’t on our side, we still made the best of the beautiful locality, as well as our quaint cottage.

Working with Tim was good fun as he’s very laid back and easy going; we got some great solo shots, as well as some beautiful images from a creative duo shoot.

Without question I would happily work with Tim again. He has a very caring nature and always made sure everyone was ok. He enjoyed cooking the evening meal and created an amazing atmosphere within our group, making us feel like family.

Thank you for a lovely week :)
