A little bit of a late reference for the fabulous Barry - my apologies!

Thanks so much for such a fun and fantastic shoot at Neon Dreams! I loved every minute of it; I can’t recommend shooting with Barry enough, he brought lots of great ideas along and we had a such a brilliant first shoot together! We laughed a lot and got lots of really epic images 🥳👏🏼

I can’t wait to shoot together again and create lots more awesomeness together 😁

Barry is one of the liveliest photographers I've ever worked with and his fantastic sense of humor will make the time fly by. He is an absolute lovely guy who takes his time and clearly enjoys what he does. His unique perspective on photography and desire to create something new makes him a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him and cant wait to work with him again!

Another fantastic shoot with Barry.

Fun throughout, we managed to get quite a few looks in the 2.5hrs we had. Barry came prepared with some reference photos and ideas.

As always he was open to new concepts and quite happy for me to give weird and wacky poses a go, which is always great fun!

Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and am looking forward to the next :)

Highly recommended

What amazing shoot I had with Barry at @Neon Dreams. It was second time we have been shooting together as I knew i should expect an excellent shoot and it was indeed such a great experience to shoot with Barry again.

As always pre-communication was the best and Barry chose outfits for our shoot and explained me creative ideas he came up with for our shoot so we got such great results as Barry is such a hard-working, enthusiastic,creative and passionate photographer.

Barry also brought some nice props for our shoot and we had such a fun shooting editorial fashion and playing with gels. It’s a pleasure to shoot with a photographer who actually loves what he does and is after the best results also caring about creating the best atmosphere for our shoot.

Thanks Barry, I am already looking forward to shooting with you again.

Highly recommended,100%

Had my first shoot with Barry today.

From start to finish, it was truly a pleasure.

I love that Barry is enthusiastic for all my wacky and weird ideas, with plenty of his own recommendations! Makes for the perfect combo for a funky image!

Barry is a gentleman throughout- always checking up on me if I needed a break, polite and respectful at all points.

Really enjoyed the shoot, he’s easy to chat to and have a laugh with too.

Super excited to work with him again next month!

Highly recommended

Barry is a pleasure to shoot with, he is a professional, enthusiastic, creative,easy-going and dedicated photographer who really enjoys what he does.

Pre-communication was on spot and Barry let me know what ideas he wanted to implement and was very clear about what we wanted to achieve so it was a big success.

Our second shoot in a month! And a fun one it was, Barry is always easy to talk to and work with, as always we came with pre planned ideas and we did some fun gymnastics! Can’t wait to see the photos and I’m looking forward to our next shoot, thanks! :)

I had a great shoot with Barry at Kempston studio, after 4 years! He had a lot of ideas/moodboards and we did some amazing sets and I absolutely love the photos! He has a great sense of humour and super easy to work with! I can’t wait for our next shoot in a few weeks, thanks again! :)

I had such a fab shoot with Barry this week at Neon dreams studios.

Barry was very consistent with communication before hand and easy to get hold of.

During shoot we had lots of fun and achieved great images.

I felt totally safe and at ease in Barry’s presence and my own ideas and preferences were welcomed in fashion choice and posing.

What a lovely man, can’t wait to arrange a shoot together again in the future.

After a couple shoots with Barry on duo shoots with Ashley Ashton that were fabulous bonkers and lots of fun.

I recently just had a 5 hour solo shoot with Barry at Pauls Studio in reading.

Again absolutely bonkers and so much fun! Barry covered my face in liqourice strings, then another appearance of the robot suit to do the body letters and so much more.

I love working with Barry because i feel like i can be as creative as i desire which i really enjoy and Barry lets me live that! i get to pull faces and show emotions and crazy sides.

Barry is a gem, highly creative and professional, absolute artist.

i always feel safe and happy in Barrys company and i love working with him and continue to enjoy!

YAY! I'm finally able to confirm we had our second shoot!! Pre comms seemed very simple this time (hahah two charismatic, dyslexic individuals!)!

I was super looking forward to seeing Barry again and working in the studio!! We'd discussed some ideas and I was excited to see the spin Barry would put on them, true he did! We nattered through the shoot, stopped for lunch and I love how Barry's open to try most things even if out his comfort zone or totally not his thing- I enjoy doing this myself too! Super cool, different ideas, I think we both had fun, captured some awesome shots and will certainly be getting more in for 2024! Certainly recommended by me!! Thank you :)

Barry and I have done a total of 9 shoots now and each time we manage to do something new and exciting!

If you haven't worked with Barry before they you are missing out. He ensures each shoot is fun, creative, relaxed and different. The photos he takes are always amazing and I am proud of what we create together. Barry knows how to look after his models, he kindly provides lunch and we take regular breaks inbetween all the madness of experimenting with different looks and sets ups. I love our working relationship and consider Barry a good friend. It was another successful and fantastic day which left me on a high and I look forward to our future shoots together!

Had a marvellous 2nd shoot with Barry. He came full of ideas and we spent the time experimenting which produced some exciting imagery.

Would definitely recommend, and shoot again with, our Baz

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve worked with the awesome Barry! Each and every shoot is different and FUN! Todays was no exception and it was my first time at Neon Dreams so I was delighted when Barry booked to shoot with me there. Pre-comms are always spot on and I knew what to bring with me and details of the shoot. Honestly, if you haven’t worked with Barry before then you are missing out. He’s by far one of my favourites because he has the most creative and wacky ideas and his photos are out of this world! Highly recommended by me and I look forward to our next one :D

How many references is enough references ? .. I dont know, and i don't care hed probably say , he is having fun !!!

We have shot SOOO many different things, some are weird and whacky , some are beautiful and glam , its never a boring shoot i can tell you that.

However, i can trust Barry to give me 100% reliability, he always brings lunch and makes sure we take our time on the shoot . He has booked some amazing places and has paired me with some amazing models , yet to be a third -remember haha!!!

He is a diamond , what else can i say !!!

ladylaurenbrock

Really great shoot with Barry images are looking amazing he was a pleasure to work with and I'll definitely work with him again highly recommend 🙂

AshleyAshton

Incredibly impressed with Barrys endless amount of input into our shoots.

Were really are starting to merge together on the job , his wackiness and my glam haha.. theyre starting to take an interesting turn.

Barry makes me feel great on the shoot , he is so positive and enthusiastic about his shoots and i really admire that in photographers. Not to mention, he is super good company , always brings lunch and treats his models with absolute respect.

Our last shoot was at Neon dreams studios , i packed my case thinking... oh god , i actually don't know how to model with Neon's haha!!!! I don't think we used much of my gear , but Barry again, brought along some things that were perfect for the job .

I think you smashed the lighting Barry on this shoot, and i got some extraordinary shots of myself , that were less glam and more whacky and i really really liked them .

I have picked 10 images for edit , and i cant wait to see the result ..

Thanks again Barry, for being you , you are my bright spark !!!
