Having previously seen many of Ben's images on his page, I knew he would be an ideal model to work with. After more than two years in delays setting a date due to Covid lockdowns etc, it was such a joy to finally meet up with this charming and sincere man. We had worked co-operatively before hand to prepare and plan our shoot, with Ben coming up with many ideas of his own for poses, so when we finally arrived at Parklands Studio (a perfect location for outdoor and indoor photography, the day went like clockwork and we achieved all wanted in partnership. Ben is such a joy to work with and I can't wait for us to plan another shoot soon.

Had a great first shoot with Ben! Definitely won't be the last!

He showed-up bang-on time with a bag full of clothes and accessories.

Very well humoured, professional and patient. He had no objection to me having a trainee in tow and was very polite, even when I kept calling him 'Mike'!

A great afternoon had by all, highly recommended :)

Had my first shoot with Ben and it was a fun and productive few hours. He was visiting Brighton and approached me regarding working together. Pre-comms were excellent and we had discussed style and ideas for locations in the days leading up to the shoot.

Despite the weather we managed to capture some great images around town and along the seafront. Ben is great to work with and very professional. He was happy to go along with my ideas as well as suggesting his own.

Hope to work with him again if he is back in the area. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of Ben on a group shoot and for a short time I was able to shoot with Ben. Ben takes direction well and is happy to ensure all shots are perfect before finishing the shoot.

Thank you again Ben.

Ben answered a Casting Call for images to edit. He provided a range of great images to plan and work on . It gave room for a variety of themes to consider. Communication was clear and easy. It was a pleasure to work with Ben. It will be good to plan a shoot in general autumn.

Ben as always arrived promptly and ready to shoot, as with his previous shoots with me he was enthusiastic and contributed both in front of and behind the camera all in all a professional approach.

My second shoot with Ben. He is so easy to get on with and work with. He has lots of ideas of his own and is always happy to try new things.

Also a talented photographer, if he says he would like to do a few shots, go for it. You will be disappointed.

Ben arrived with a positive attitude to getting the desired shot and contributed to the whole process. He was able to put at ease his modelling partner who was doing her first duo shoot.

I had my first shoot with Ben on Sunday. It was my first time working with a male model and so I was a little nervous. There really was no need though. Ben is very easy to get along with and was very professional. I hope we get to work together again in the not too distant future. Highly recommended.

I worked with Ben today on a long awaited shoot. Ben was prompt and polite when I picked him up from the station. The shoot went well with no awkwardness despite shooting to nude without previous meeting.

I will I be happy to recommend Ben

I had my first shoot with Ben on Saturday. A lighting workshop, organised and run by John Duder from JD Tuition. Ben came well prepared for the shoot, with several changes of outfit and a selection of musical instruments. Ben was comfortable working with a group of photographers with varying degrees of experience and expectation. He was helpful and collaborative throughout the workshop and I believe all the photographers went home happy with their results. He's a very professional and versatile model and very easy to get along with. I would recommend Ben without hesitation and would be happy to work with him again.

Thanks Ben.

And the workshop itself...

Well-attended, and Ben was unfazed: his posing was subtle, providing just what each photographer needed, with a series of combinations of outfit and musical instruments.

Two non-Purpleport photographers were there, and one has already passed images to Ben for his portfolio.

Excellent work, and highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Ben. Pre-comms were great & Ben arrived on time & with all the outfits we had discussed prior to the shoot.

We had arranged to shoot a 1930s-40s hollywood styled shoot, which also had a poker themed story line & Ben adapted his self very well to this to give us some great moody shots.

We also shot some quirky stuff along with some Implied nude which Ben was very comfortable with. We also shot some musical sets (Ben Plays guitar very well) We had a good day & I am very pleased how the shots came out & looking forward to editing them all.

Thank you Ben for a lovely shoot, hope to work with you again soon.

Ben and I did a fairly brief casual shoot today, prior to a workshop we're hosting next week.

He's a careful, self-contained chap, and brings a quite specific look to his work. His life-modelling experience shows in his ability to hold a pose when required.

Good pre-shoot comms, and a thoughtful approach to his work: I'm looking forward to working with him again next month, with a variety of musical instruments!
