So good to have Ben back at the studio for another bit of lighting learning. It was his first time in our newest space, so glad he could come all this way to Sheffield again!

Ben is lovely, professional and he pays attention to detail. Although from what I understand he doesn't shoot in a studio setting very often, he has improved so much since I worked with him last time! I am truly impressed - I love that he is eager to learn and improve, you can see it in his work.

Highly recommend working with Ben. Thank you for an awesome day. :)

Another lovely shoot with Ben at Libre Studio!

This is my second shoot with Ben, he replied to my casting call and very efficiently organised the shoot at Libre. His pre-shoot communication was spot on, sending thorough moodboards beforehand so I knew exactly what to pack.

Ben was enthusiastic and well prepared, his energy was great and we got through many sets. I really appreciate he has always made sure I'm comfortable and happy, and always talks through the ideas and theme of the shoot. He knew the shots he was looking to achieve, but mainly left me to my own poses so everything flowed really well on the shoot. We bounced ideas off each other and he was passionate about getting every detail right to create the best photos; I’m the same so this worked well.

He is brilliant to work with, we've shot together twice and each time he has been punctual, prepared and professional. I am very pleased with the results we achieved and I cannot wait to see the finished images, he has a very good eye for photography and some really creative ideas. We managed to squeeze plenty of looks and outfits into this session and from seeing the cam shots, I am so happy with the results!

Highly recommend to any model, and would love to work with him again! Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben during a duo trip to Liverpool with Caitlyn J. Ben's communications were excellent, by far something of the very best I've encountered. He provided us with a mood board ahead of the shoot, which not only detailed what he was hoping to achieve, but also provided us with outfit suggestions too.

Ben is relatively new to model photography, but you wouldn't have known it. He was on time to the studio, and ready to go soon thereafter. He even provided us with some delightful homemade vegan treats! He was polite and professional throughout and we got some amazing shots as solo and duo.

Ben's photography is outstanding, it really should speak for itself. I loved the vibes of what we shot and really look forward to seeing the final edits. I'd highly recommend Ben.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

Ben had booked in with Angel Black and myself during our duo day at Libre studio. His precomms were great, providing a detailed mood board for the kind of images he was aiming to achieve during our shoot. I could tell just by the moodboard that we'd have a great shoot with Ben, his ideas were both creative and empowering.

Ben was very patient with us, given our looong day, and very kindly brought some vegan goodies for an energy boost! Despite being relatively new to model photography, we didn't get that impression at all, he was very professional and easy to work with, and the shots we got together were fab! I really can't wait to see the final edits.

I'm really happy with our shoot together, and would be thrilled to work with him again. Highly recommend to any model :)

It’s the first time I have worked with Ben and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed it. It was a Halloween shoot and quite challenging due to the costumes, but Ben was great and added his own ideas into the poses.. He was professional and friendly and it was fun which to me is really important. Communication beforehand was great and I would definitely recommend Ben as a photographer. I hope I can work with him again in the future.

My first time working with Ben today, he travelled from Liverpool to Sheffield to work with me on location which we made use of the indoor oasis inside winter gardens it provides great light and scenery to use as a background for different outfits.

We worked doing fashion for 5 hours utilizing the space despite there being a jobs events going ahead making it crowded and limited where we could shoot. However we worked well together to make the most of it and people were accommodating to it as at first I had my reservations about how it would work, I'm glad we went ahead as I think we got some really great shots.

We braved the rain which was worth it for the shots it gave a different dynamic and I really enjoyed the shoot,Ben provided a raincoat and was very helpful and respectful throughout the shoot. Really happy with the whole day was a great experience and Ben has a promising future in photography ahead of him to which I hope I will be apart of his progression with future shoots together, we already spoke about when I am in Liverpool to organise something another time which it would be a pleasure to work with Ben again.

Throughout the shoot he showed me the images and asked my thoughts on the different lighting and angles which I prefer so it was very much trial and error as we had to work around people, light changing light and other things to make it work so it was good to be apart of seeing the images we were getting that helps me to decide which poses to go with for the vibe of the shot seeing the angle which suits best.

I would happily work with Ben again and would recommend you do if you get the chance 😊

I had a fantastic first shoot with Ben! He was on time, pre shoot comms were great, he sent a super clear mood board prior so we had a productive and great shoot!

The time flew by, I had lots of fun shooting with Ben and recommend him to any model or studio :)

Ben came to Zavod once again and we did a first 1-2-1 shoot with him at the studio.

He improves every time I work with him. He is very polite and happy to take any (sometimes harsh!) feedback on board from me. But I want him to do well so honesty is the best policy I believe :D

Ben is also very organised and puts a lot of effort into planning the shoot ideas, including the styling. Even though we had 5 hours shooting, I think the time flew by! I could tell he was knackered at the end, I am sorry once again for doing this to you :D

Highly recommend. :)

Hopefully will work with you on other projects this year and good luck with everything!

Ben made his first visit to Zavod Studio for the portraits and beauty workshop with Dave and Xenia.

Ben is a very lovely chap, super keen to learn and very willing to learn. Everything we taught him in the two hours time he was able to instantly implement.

Besides, pre-comms were clear, he was on time and very professional throughout.

Would absolutely welcome him back at the studio - can't wait to see him go far :)

Good luck on your journey,

Would I recommend Ben?… absolutely yes 🙌

Lovely guy and very polite. He came and shot me at home for our first shoot and he was esst to

Work with. Very personable, polite, creative and he took loads of great shots of me.

Pre coms were absolutely spot on the whole time and he even presented me with a mood board of ideas so I could see what vibe he wanted. I see Ben going very far in this industry.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot and I’ll look forward to working with you again in the future.

Another great shoot with Ben! It’s so lovely when you meet new photographers who are so eager to learn and try new things. Ben is passionate about fashion photography and this shows! Our shoot this time was a part of my event at a the Boardroom studio in Derby. Ben had already travelled quite the distance to come and first work with me at home, so I was even more bowled over when he booked onto my event even further away! A great photographer with a keen eye for angles, learning and developing techniques very fast and applying them to every shoot as he goes. A lovely friendly lad and respectful of models and others alike. If you haven’t yet shot with Ben, I highly recommend him and can see him growing fast and going far!

Many thanks again for a wonderful shoot.

Best wishes

I shot with Ben in my apartment and it was such a great shoot! He is a very professional, talented and easy going photographer.

Pre communications were perfect! Knowing exactly what the shoot was going to be. Within a handful of messages!

On shoot he was full of creative ideas but also happy to allow me to pose freely too!! We went with a very cool 80s, 90s, 00s style fashion vibe… stranger things style!! And the images turned out fabulously!!

Highly recommended and would love to work with him again

Thanks for such an awesome shoot!!

Me and Ben worked on a fantasy style photoshoot at a park in Liverpool. It was my first time traveling there and he was helpful with directions and made sure I knew where I was. He also supplied me with snacks and food vouchers to make sure both of us aren't hungry. And our interactions were professional, yet friendly and supportive.

During our photoshoot he could not stop generating ideas which was extremely helpful! He also helped me with poses every time I was struggling.

I think Ben has got a really good eye and a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see his future work. I'm looking forward to the next time we'll be working together. I wish all the best! And I would definitely recommend working with Ben.

Worked with Ben for the first time on location in Liverpool today :)

I know Ben doesn't have many pictures on here, and I've not seen a single reference on him. But something told me that he would be fun to work with!

Ben has planned this shoot for weeks. He really put his thoughts into what we are going to shoot, where, how it will be styled, what equipment we may need and the challenges we may have. We shot outside just short of 6 hours straight. Not everything has gone to the plan - but this is the thing, I don't think it ever does. What's important is to overcome those challenges and make it work. Which we did!

Got some cracking shots today, Ben really allowed my modeling to take the lead and because of it I felt very comfortable around him throughout.

We did a mini interview at the end as Ben was keen to know about my modeling and other side hassles that I have (like Zavod, for example). I really appreciated that part because to me it translated as 'I actually am interested in your work as a human' and not you're just here to model, don't care what you actually think'.

It was an incredible experience all round. I also forget Ben is only very young, but he acts like a complete professional grown up. This guy will go far!

Thank you so much for today, hope you have more shoots like this soon and I shall work with you again in the future if you wish :)

Good luck on your photography journey!

100% recommend.
