Second time shooting with Ciaron, this one a full day with Welshot on a getting to know you shoot. Ciaron brought a variety of outfits which demonstrated his wide range of character and ability, from Peaky Blinders to Gaucho to Lord of the Rings to street style. Working with Ciaron is a very creative process and a pleasure, he poses freely or takes direction with no hesitation.

Ciaron draws on his acting, modelling experience and skills to get the shot, often adding suggestions as he picks up on the theme being captured.

I'd definitely recommend Ciaron to photographers of all abilities and experience, thank you once again!

Great to catch up with The Bard again on Thursday for a Camera Club night at Studio 4. He arrived on time with outfits previously discussed and was the consumate professional as per usual. He is super quick on change overs and was extremely patient with a group of photographers with varying degrees of studio experience. He interacted well with all the other participants. This was his second visit to a club event based on requests from members for a return visit. He really is exceptionally good at dropping in to characters and portraying different looks as required. The evening was enjoyed by all participants. Thank You Sir!

Shot with Ciaron on a Welshot casting day. Very laid back, easy to talk to and work with, posed effortlessly without direction, but happy to take direction also. Ciaron interpreted our requirements very easily and also added some ideas of his own to the mix. Brought his own outfits for a variety of looks, moods and fashions. Very talented actor and model, would definitely recommend and I will be working with him again soon.

I met with The Bard for a "behind the scenes" shoot on a film production he is currently directing. A vast cast of 40 plus with a few "celebrities" thrown in as well. Fight scenes and close up dialogue gave a great repertoire of poses and details. Creativity and the eye for detail makes shooting with The Bard a very enjoyable experience.

The Bard is great to work with creating a wide variety of scenes which are fun to shoot.

It was great to shoot The Bard himself in director mode when he is in full flow. As well as the actors responses showing off their very fine skills.

I highly recommend The Bard to any photographer or model. A very enjoyable day.

Always great to work with The Bard.

Creative and has such an eye for detail. I shot with The Bard on one of his productions where I saw his creativity in full flow. I shot a whole range of images with actors and crew. The production team was excellent and crew a joy to work with. We covered many scenes and saw his thought process in action. I captured the Bard in action in his directing, the actors performance and behind the scenes. It was a fab day which was enjoyed by everyone.

I highly recommend The Bard for a variety of roles for many reasons, most of which is his passion for creativity and his dedication to the arts.

Great model with a great selection or versatile outfits. Able to pose without guidance and easily accommodated specific posing requests.

Another top notch (2nd) shoot at Studio 4 with The Bard on Thursday. He turned up with 6 different outfit looks for the shoot, most of which we used during our time together. You can always tell when a model has a real passion for what they do and that is certainly the case here. If you haven't worked with a male model but would like to add a further dimension to your portfolio then I would thoroughly recommend that you book The Bard. His repertoire runs from medieval / feudal through to costume in a variety of guises through to Peakyesque, to wild west (plus I am sure there are many more) and he has all the accessories to authenticate the look. Boy we covered some ground in 3 hours and the shoot was fun and enjoyable and it was refreshing to shoot some different ideas and themes. Thank You and 100% recommended by me. :)

It was a pleasure to welcome The Bard to Studio 4 on Thursday evening after he kindly agreed to model for a studio night I had organised for our local camera club. He showed up on time with outfits to suit the brief. He interacted really well with all the photographers in the group and was super patient while some grappled with their "S's" and "F's". He certainly helped the event go really smoothly and was the total professional throughout. All the group have commented how much they enjoyed the evening.

Thank You so much definitely recommended by me. :)

I have wanted to photograph Ciaron - The Bard - for a long time and it never worked out so when he was advertising a 1-2-1 i booked straightaway. I was not disappointed. He is the consummate actor which translates into fantastic modelling. Amazing facial expressions and poses. His wardrobe and props are amazing and we got through

5 changes. So happy to have had this opportunity to photograph Ciaron and will be looking to book again.

What a glorious shoot with the fabulous Ciaron. Our 2nd shoot now which was just as good as the first. Ciaron works so well with a team, contributes to ideas, helps create a fabulous working atmosphere and makes each shoot as good as it can be. Super reliable with great comms and a pleasure to be around. We are planning our 3rd shoot already.

Thank you Ciaron

Had Ciaron back again for another shoot - this time as the Joker working alongside Harley Quinn.

What can I say, the images are some of the best I've ever created and largely due to the brilliant way Ciaron gets into character and immerses himself in the role.

Other photographers that attended the event have all said what an amazing shoot it was and that it was one of the best they have ever attended too.

This is all testament to the hard work the models put in along with the amazing HMUA Benji.

Looking forward to the next one!

100% recommended.

Had another excellent session shooting with Ciaron last week. He arrived with a selection of great outfits, some of which were new to our group, and we shot both indoors in our studio and outside in a nearby churchyard. A great, professional model who is more than happy to accommodate any suggestions, and we are all expecting to get some superb images from the day.

Ciaron (aka The Bard) did a full day at Studio 9 Oldham today, entertaining a plethora of Photographers, keeping them all busy working their Trigger finger, moving seamlessly & flawlessly from one pose to the next, giving completely different looks with both the Morning & Afternoon groups. A thoroughly pleasant chap that is welcome at Studio 9 always!

Ciaron contacted me over the Weekend to arrange a 3hr Session in the Studio, to work on a few images and to book future shoots.

The Evening produced some amazing images as expected when you shoot with Ciaron.

Would highly recommend him any time!

Another very successful shoot with Ciaron who is an unparalleled costumier and armourer and always supplies superb costumes and accessories which make such a difference to the authenticity of the resulting images. This time we covered themes of Ancient Greece and assassins creed which was a great opportunity to combine different genres of cosplay and add them to my port. Ciaron’s acting skills added the final touches to a really first class shoot!

Great shoot with the Bard at Captain Jacks. Great group of photographers working well on a busy shoot. Plenty of costumes with the usual banter wit and charm from the Bard. Can only echo the comments of the other members of the shoot Bonepix and Mike232 who have also commented here.

Cheers Ciaron.
