What a brilliant way to start August off with - by having a superb shoot with Leo.

He travelled over from Cleckheaton all the way via train to Wigan to come and shoot me at WN1. I am ever so grateful.

We started by briefly discussing a concept then got down to shooting artistic nude using the available props and light.

The results were great and I hope my posing skills did Leo's ideas justice.

He is fabulous to work with and hopefully the next time will be sooner rather than later. Thanks Leo.

Just finished a wonderful shoot with Leo. Made me feel totally at ease from the start, gave me little direction and let me do my own thing. Plus we got on very well and lunch was wonderful! Highly recommended! Thanks again Leo!

After several months of trying to coordinate our schedules, I finally got to shoot with Barleyfields today. It was well worth the wait, and his warm, comfortable studio was a pleasure to work in. Leo put me at my ease from the start, we worked well together, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results. Thanks, Leo and hope we can work together again soon. Anna.

Highly recommended!

I can say so many good things about Leo, but where do I start?

First off, pre-comms was spot-on, and I knew exactly what to pack and had a clear idea of what we would be working on together.

On arriving at Leos home studio, I was warmly greeted by Leo at the door, who kindly helped me with my suitcase, and then offered me a lovely cup of tea. We sat and talked for a while before starting our shoot, and in that time we got to know a bit about each others backgrounds in and outside the industry. I enjoyed looking through one of a few selections of his photography books, and his work simply shows that he has many years experience behind the camera.

Leo was very well organised and the studio is already set up beautifully. It's a very spacious studio based on one part of the house, and I was impressed with how clean and tidy and organised it was.

We were able to bounce some new ideas between us during the shoot, and as we creatively gelled so much, these ideas worked out amazingly well.

I must also add that Leo also provided some beautiful shoes to model (I so wanted to take the red pair home with me! Ha ha!) and a beautiful selection of outfits and silk gowns.

What was half a days shoot merely felt like minutes. Leo is so polite, respectful, and a really nice guy and I do hope that I can work with him again sometime soon.

Thanks again Leo for a lovely day.

After a long while, I finally shot with Barleyfields yesterday and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Pre comms and organisation were faultless as before and Barleyfields and the sun were waiting for me! I always look forward to shooting with Barleyfields as the shoots are relaxed with plenty of creativity and enthusiasm. We shot a variety of styles and from what I've seen already, there are some cracking images. Barleyfields comes very highly recommended and look forward to the next shoot. Thank you again for a fab shoot :)

Had another wonderful shoot with my dear friend Leo, we have previously worked together before over the last 5 years and it was such a joy to be able to return and work with him again after my time out of modelling.. Leo was able to help me feel at ease and help me get back in to the swing of modelling again. Leo is such a wonderful man, he really looks after you at his fantastic studio and it was lovely to catch up after all this time. Leo my dearest friend thank you for a wonderful day, the images I have seen so far are amazing as they always are when we work together. I would highly recommend my dear friend Leo to any model, you will not be disappointed Leo is an amazing photographer and a wonderful friend as well. xxx

I was really so fortunate to have a lovely shoot with Leo today. Communication pre shoot was excellent and during the shoot he was so kind, professional and delightful to work with. What an absolutely lovely person indeed. He had plenty of creative ideas for the shoot which I very much enjoyed working on, and had plenty of opportunity to add ideas and free pose. An absolute pleasure. I hope we meet again, and can easily recommend to other models. With sincere thanks, Amber

I enjoyed a marvelous shoot with Leo yesterday. What a lovely man! He obviously has a wide experience with photography and has an absolute passion for the art of creating beautiful images. His love of the nude form is thoroughly infectious and his sheer passion ensures that any model he chooses to work with will really enjoy shooting with him.

It was easy to get carried away with the flow of ideas but, this time, we were working within time constraints.I can't wait for another shoot with Leo to give full rein to our creative partnership.

I worked with the lovely Leo on a recent trip of mine to the local area and oh my, what a total sweetheart!!!! Such a lovely, caring, kind gentleman to work with and talk to. I am always a little worried when I am meeting and working with someone at their home for the first time, but needn't have been with Leo, as you are in safe hands.

As soon as I got through the front door, Leo was offering to take my super heavy case (which I wouldnt allow him to! :P ) and he had grapes, chocolate and green tea ready for me- so kind and thoughtful after a long journey!

We got on so well that time just flew by and the half a day went by in the blink of an eye. Leos home is such a lovely clean and comfortable space and his home studio a really great space with great ceiling height. Leo was prepared with creative ideas and musical instruments- and I had such a great time working with the studio light and natural light in a few of Leos rooms of the house.

Leo is such a character- a truly lovely person and I really hope we get to work together again soon. Super highly recommended to all, Thankyou Leo, Helen x

I worked with Leo a few days ago at his wonderful home studio, this is the eighth shoot I have had with Leo but there has been a bit of a gap since the last one.. We won't let that happen again though!

So I was really looking forward to the shoot and Leo did not disappoint, as soon as I arrived it was lovely to get back to Leos studio, its an excellent place to work, warm and comfortable too. On arrival Leo greeted me with a lovely cup of coffee and it was great to catch up.

In the time that we had to shoot we managed to do several sets but the time just disappeared too quickly, helping to explain why we have made plans for the next shoot :)

Leo is a good friend and I love working with him, a lovely, kind hearted gentleman and a wonderful photographer.

Thank you so much and see you soon,

Had another wonderful shoot with my good friend Leo out in the countryside near home this time. We did get turfed out of one particular field by some cows lol which was quite ironic as one of Leos books tells a similar tale. We do have such fun and also time to calm and relax away from a bustling world of chaos. I thoroughly enjoy my shoots with Leo we set the world to rights on a regular basis and get some great shots too. Cant wait till next time. Any models would do well to work with Leo he is such a gentle kind hearted man with so much talent. Till next time Leo, Emma x

Emma Collins

It goes without saying that I would absolutely definitely without a shadow of doubt recommend Leo to any model! I had another fantastic shoot with Leo today at the beautiful Flamborough head, what a fantastic day, I even got a bit of sun:)which is always an added bonus. Leo was ever so attentive checking I was always okay, buying ice creams and lunch. I had a great day Leo Thank You

I've just had yet another fabulous shoot with my good friend Leo, this one was out doors and was truly wonderful. The peace and tranquillity was bliss, with such good company what more could a model want. Strolling through the woods putting the world to rights finding stunning locations to shoot. Thanks again Leo till next time x Emma x

Fantastic shoot with Leo.

It has probably been over 12 months since we last shot together, so we were definitely overdue.

It was lovely to catch up. I always love working with Leo.

And his ideas are fabulous and really exciting.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon Leo.

It's had been a while since our last shoot together, but today we finally managed to get together and shoot.

We had originally hoped for better weather for a planned location shoot however that wasn't to be, but we still produced excellent images in Leo's home studio.

Leo has always been a great person to work with. And I still enjoy shooting with him just as much as I ever did several years ago.

He is extremely friendly and accommodating plus welcomes you with a great cup of tea.

He really thinks out his shoot plans and the results are great.

I hope to shoot again with him very soon.

Emma Collins

I have now worked with leo on several occasions and I must say he as now become a very valued friend of mine. The days working at leos fly by and we create some fantastic images. I am now working with leo for his art projects of which I am very impressed. Leo had one of his photos of me exhibited in an art gallery at a museum of which we were both very proud. At leos studio you can rest assured you are very welcome and looked after, a relaxed atmosphere with such a kind soul. I highly recommend working with Leo
