Bal contacted me about organising a shoot for himself and his son with myself and Darcie Louise as models. Having met and worked with Bal before I was thrilled to be asked to shoot with him again.

Working with Bal is so easy - He is a really wonderful photographer and easy to get on with. He sent me a mood board with images inspired by Peter Coulson who happens to currently be my favourite photographer!!!! So I knew we'd have a great shoot together!!

We experimented with different lighting set ups, including a one light set up, some hard directional light... and playing in some lighting patterns. Throughout the whole shoot Bal worked hard to make small adjustments and took many magnificent images!!!! The back of the camera looks incredible!!! We also experimented with Mylar which turned out very well!!!

All in all another wonderful shoot with Bal and I look forward to seeing him again soon! Thank you so much Bal!!

Bal is an incredibly talented and passionate photographer. He is easy to work with and has a great eye for detail. Bal is also very open to ideas and suggestions, which makes him a great collaborator. I was very impressed with the results of our shoot and would highly recommend him to any models looking for a talented and professional photographer. Thanks again Bal and I hope to work with you again soon! Ella x

I had a lovely first shoot with Bal at my studio day at The Kiln. Bal was on time and ready to go. He had brought loads of lights and fabric which meant that we could get some very different and creative shots. We worked through loads of ideas and managed to get a lot of work done whilst having a relaxed pace. Bal is so lovely and a perfect gentleman. I have no hesitation in recommending working with him and I hope to do so again soon!

Bal attended a group event with Ivory Flame and myself at Basford Hurst recently. I thoroughly enjoyed our time shooting together both in duos with Holly and solo!

I found Bal to be very polite, easy-going, creative and enthusiastic. Bal had loads of great ideas, was keen to experiment and I could see from the back of the camera he was getting gorgeous images.

I hope to get the chance to work with Bal again in the future!

Shot again with Bal at The Boardroom which was really enjoyable! It was great to see Bal has really progressed and upped his confidence with exploring his ideas, trying new and experimental techniques. He set up a range of backdrops (with the help of Phil), used V flats to great effect, adding smoke, lights and cool angles! Loads of really interesting shots and variation of genres. Thank you for the fun and productive shoot Bal :-)

What an amazing shoot I had with Bal,it went really great. Pre-communication was on spot so we discussed all ideas and outfits and Bal built up a mood board and told me what outfits he preferred so we were all ready to shoot.

Bal is a pleasure to shoot with, he is so passionate about his photography, he worked really hard trying a lot of different light settings and set up and was doing his best to get the best results so it was a success.

Bal is a professional,polite and friendly photographer who truly enjoys what he does so our shoot was relaxed, very productive and d creative.

I think we got some amazing shots as they looked great straight out of the camera and I really enjoyed our shoot

Thanks Bal,hope to shoot with you again

Highly recommended,100%

What an awesome shoot with the incredible Bal during my recent modelling tour to the West Midlands at my hired apartment.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was excellent and everything was super easy to plan and organise.

On the day of shooting Bal arrived promptly and was so chatty and easy to get on with. I really love how Bal thinks outside of the box creating some really cool and edgy images. I loved the dark style ones the best.

Time flew by as we had such an awesome shoot producing the most fabulous results.

110% recommended would love to shoot with Bal again in the future.

I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting Bal a few times at Basford Hurst Cottage when he has attended studio days and group shoots. When he asked me if I would be interested in working with him I was thrilled as I have admired his work for a while!!

Pre comms with Bal were great as always - He sent me through a Pinterest Board with some really great ideas to work bring to life. He arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. We worked through many different sets including some portraiture, smashing up a guitar (or pretending to!), getting creative tube lighting and even a Christmas set!! In every set I was so thrilled with the back of the camera. Bal really does pay attention to detail and makes small adjustments constantly to get 'that' shot!!

Our time together absolutely flew by, the conversation flowed and I always felt completely comfortable in Bal's company.

I would of course highly reccomend working with Bal and I look forward to seeing him again soon!! Thank you Bal!!

Bal came back to Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday to shoot with Gwendoline Ginoux on her sold out studio day.

It was a pleasure to welcome Bal back to Basford, he is a really wonderful photographer with a great personality and always fun to have around!! Bal worked well with Gwendoline throughout their time together, getting really creative in many areas of the property. Bal even wore his Star Wars shirt, a real bonus when coming to Basford!! ;)

Bal is of course welcome back to Basford anytime and I would highly recommend him!! Thank you Bal!!!

Today I had the pleasure of working with Bal for the first time and I truly hope it’s not the last. Our venue of choice was The Boardroom in Derby.

We shot a collection of dresses and corsets with large skirts the images I saw off the back of the camera are so so beautiful, I am thrilled.

Bal was a complete gentleman, couldn’t do enough for us and had some lovely ideas.

Thank you so much for today I had a blast.

Goes without saying I’d recommend working with Bal 100%

Bal attended my studio day at Happy Jack Studio yesterday, and I'm so glad he did!

We had a really fun shoot and created some excellent images and got to try a few different set ups and outfits.

A lovely person and a clear passion for photography.

I would recommend him and definitely work with him again :)

Had a brilliant first shoot with Bal on Christmas Eve. I put a last minute casting up and Bal kindly said he would love to work with me and as soon as I saw his work I was keen to shoot with him also!

The time we had flew by and the images I’ve seen so far are lovely! He is a very professional photographer but also very chilled and laid back and I feel that helps achieve better images!

Looking forward to another shoot hopefully soon and can’t recommend him enough to other models.

Thanks again Bal!
