Ben was incredibly professional from start to finish. His communication prior to the shoot was excellent and he sent me lots of ideas for the shoot. Unfortunately we didn’t get through all our ideas this time but I hope to shoot with him again very soon and bring these ideas to life. He picked me up, which was super helpful as I don’t drive and booked us a great location to shoot from. The images he captured are stunning and made me feel so beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer

Ben is an amazing photographer he made me feel so so comfortable. I got offered a shoot at the Hilton hotel in Manchester. We did lots of themes and video shoots. Then I did my first ever milk bath photoshoot. He bought my food and I don’t know why he has one bad review on here because he is one of the best people to work with ever. Highly recommended xx

Worked with Ben a few times now and he is always outstanding. Absolutely stunning images every time he takes the time to make sure you are not only comfortable but confident in your poses and an absolutely lovely human being.

Worked with Ben for the 3rd time yesterday, this time on a 1-1 basis as we previously worked together at group shoots. Yesterday was amazing, seeing the images behind the camera even without editing.. I’m already excited about what we’ve created. Bens pre communication was excellent planning out how the day would go, discussing outfits etc. He really fills you with confidence leading up to the shoot, and I would definitely recommend to both new and experienced models. Ben is a perfectionist and pays careful attention to detail and is really experienced in what he does, teaching you along the way if any direction is needed but also open to ideas. Thank you for a brilliant day!

I met Ben in Birmingham casting for UK calendar girls, we clicked straight away he does beautiful pictures and he's easy to work with . We had another photoshoot on 1st October in Wolverhampton and it was blast too. Funny, friendly,supporting and easygoing person to work with. Looking forward to have another shoots with him but this time in his studio.

This is the second time I have shot with Ben and I cannot wait to shoot with him again! Ben is such an amazing photographer and always thinking of cool and different ideas to get amazing shots! Ben is great and such a laugh and always makes me feel at ease and comfortable! Pre communication was incredible as Ben even booked in a zoom meeting first to go over ideas which was fab! I would certainly recommend Ben😊 I can’t wait to see the images!

Working with Ben was like working with a lifelong friend. He was warm, open to ideas and so friendly and a pro with giving me tips and helping to shoot better. Can’t wait to work with him again!

I’ve shot with Ben twice now, and he is the most loveliest person to work with. Constantly asked if I was okay and completely reassured me and did a very detailed consultation before the shoot to make sure I was completely comfortable on the day of the shoot. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone. Can’t wait to work and create some amazing content again soon 💗

Well Ben and I have became friends since lockdown via his boudoir group and I honestly can say he's one of the kindest people to meet in this world and his ability to support a model through their journey up until their shoot with positive encouragement and patience (life as been very busy it took me a while to sort a date).

On the day ben really helped capture the different styles of shoots I wanted to get for many reasons and helped me with bouncing idears around also we couldn't stop laughing especially the video takes there was a few slight slips but no falls Hahaha it was hilarious definitely working with Ben again already got plans sorted!

From what I've seen already I'm in love with this captured me.

Thank you again

I highly recommend Ben to other models... our shoot took place in may just after the lock down eased in a quirky little hotel in Nottingham city centre.

Ben is professional... he’s very good with communication pre shoot and works very good at getting the best shot & results..

Ben is a lovely character he’s funny friendly & he will guide you throughout the shoot on poses to get you some amazing final images

Highly recommend to other models & look forward to working with Ben again soon

It was a lovely shoot & I’m so pleased with the results

Thank you

Ben contacted me for a shoot last week as he was in the area and we managed to arrange this very quickly. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, I knew what to bring and Ben had booked a lovely location.

He's a lovely person and took the time to get to know me and make me feel at ease which was really nice. We worked through a few sets and Ben gave great directions. He has lots of creative ideas and time just flew by.

I can definitely recommend Ben and really hope that we can work together again in the future. x

This was the 1st time I worked with Ben and im sure it wont be the last. We arranged a last minute G/G shoot for a boudoir shoot at a hotel. Ben is very professional to work with and he has some very interesting ideas and knows what he is doing with lights and also Duo shoots.

Really looking forward to seeing the pics as there was some amazing ones from what I saw on the back of the Camera.

I would highly recommend Ben to work with and I look forward to the next time.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot.

Met Ben for our first shoot, arranged at last minute but pre shoot communication was great.

Ben picked me up from the station and we spoke about what we would like to shoot.

Ben is very much a professional and concentrated on getting the perfect shot before he takes it.

He gives direction when needed and allows you to pose freely. Highly recommended from me and looking forward to seeing the results! 😊

Had a really good shoot today with Ben. The hotel that he had booked was lovely, pre comms were great and we both knew what we wanted from the shoot, Ben didn’t push my levels in any way and made me feel more than comfortable from the minute we began. He made sure everything was perfect before taking a shot, to ensure we got the best pictures we could get, can’t wait to see the result and I hope to work with Ben again, Thankyou for a lovely shoot! 😇❤️

Had a fab shoot with Ben, planned to shoot Boudoir and dancey things (including lots of flour) which was very cool but absolutely loved how open Ben was to trying out lots of creative things, took full advantage of a sunny day and played around with natural light too! Ben was really respectful of the levels I wanted to shoot, we shot in an absolutely fab studio and he is a lovely guy (even drove me home, despite having previous plans- as northern rail were being pants- as per usual) would definitely recommend and can't wait to see all the fab things we shot!

I cannot express how thrilled I am from this shoot with Ben.

I think if you could package a perfect photographer then it would be him!

His pre coms are absolutely spot on. You can tell his enthusiasm and love for what he does straight away.

He turned up on time and is polite, friendly, chatty, engaging, enthusiastic and just such easy company to be with.

Then the shooting started, and my my, I was so happy with what I saw in the back of the camera, I knew then that this would be a blinder of a shoot.

This guy seriously knows his photography. His use of light is just brilliant and, something which is so important for model photography, he really understands the model, their features, their angles, how the light reflects on them and most importantly what makes them look good! He is so in tune with model photography and making women look stunning in his shots. I think that's a skill/talent that you either just have or you don't, and he does!

He came up with loads of different ideas and angles and really helped me with the posing to get the best look which I appreciated.

Ben is such a great guy, he was so respectful and kind during the shoot. Always checking that I was OK with every thing that we did.

I was actually comtimplating stopping modeling recently due to a lack of confidence being an older lady but I came away from the shoot on such a high that I now have a renewed desire to carry on.

Ben, I had a truely wonderful and fun day and I am now your biggest fan. You deserve all the success in the world with your photography.

It really would be an honour to shoot with Ben again and I hope he asks me!

A truely talented individual.

I think it goes without saying but highly recommended!
