Had the pleasure of shooting with Brian for the second time at a recent charity shoot.

As usual he came well prepared. He was very easy to work with and we created some brilliant images together.

Brian is a lovely man and great photographer. I will highly recommend him to everyone. I look forward to working with him again.

Highly recommended this was my second shoot with Brian and as delightful and fun as our first shoot. The shoot always goes by too quickly because of the great banter but we still got some amazing shots. Thanks again Brian x

Brian was the 1st to sign up for the charity event @ Greenheys Farm.

Supported a model to attend by providing a lift there and back home again.

Brought an abundant bag of pastries, cakes and chocolate buns for all attendees to share...I could stop this reference here quite happily :-) You can see Brian's quality....but I will go on...

Brian arrived on time, good pre event communications.

Got stuck in, worked with all models present plus duos, trio's.

Steady under pressure when experiencing technical issues with kit.

Brian fit's right in within group events.

I look forward to seeing Brian on many more to come.

Highly Recommended.

It was a pleasure to work with Brian in Liverpool at Libre Studio again. As we've had many shoots, we know the style would like to focus on and shoots go very smoothly and time always flies away.

BGA is a punctual, precise, easygoing, thoughtful, and experienced photographer.

We tried different styles, equipment, and lighting that were different from our previous shoots.

The images are fabulous as I expected.

Looking forward to our next shoot and highly recommend BGA to models.

Many thanks

Another successful Tuesday Club and Brian was first and foremost in signing up.

Arrived on time, enthusiastic as always and ready to get started.

Not a moments unhappiness when our second model did not arrive but positive vibes which ensured this Tuesday Club was another success.

Brian also knows his 'onions' when it comes to the technical side of photography and I can honestly say I have learnt from him on each Tuesday Club.

Works well with BlackSwann our resident Tuesday Club model and the results look fab.

If you have the opportunity to work with this accomplished photographer take it.

Highly Recommended.

It was delightful to have a Xmas shoot with BGA in Libre Studio. Everything went well as a team work for a Xmas theme!

Brian brought some Xmas outfits and accessories, the studio (John) had a nice Xmas green backdrop and sleigh too and I did a Xmas make-up and got some outfits and accessories.

We managed to take a bunch of lovely seasonal photos and I'm very happy with the images.

Brian was in studio before me and on time and we took more than 400 great photos.

I think any model who worked with him knows how generous he is and no need to explain again.

Highly recommend BGA to work with any experienced or new model.

Many thanks for everything!

We had another great studio shoot together in Libre studio in Liverpool.

I appreciate that Brian drove on one of the coldest frosty days to Liverpool and got to the studio earlier than me and on time.

As always very generous and easygoing to work with.

He gave me all images the same day and I love loads of them.

If you book with him you could be sure that you wouldn't have a late cancellation and will get all the lovely images the same day.

Highly recommended and looking forward to our next shoot.

Many thanks!

I had my second shoot with Brian and again it was another fun and relaxed shoot.

Brian firstly is such a gentleman he's so polite and kind. Always smiling and has a funny sense of humour. Also makes me feel completely comfortable and always makes sure am ok comfortable with what am doing.

Brian also has his own ideas aswell as yours to help create a great image. Can't wait to see the images.

I would highly recommend Brian to any model and I hope we get to work together again in the future.

Thanks Brian.

And here we met again!

To be fairly honest, I have lost count of how many times I have worked with Brian, but it is always an interesting process. You see, Brian enjoys the process as well as the end results - he likes to experiment with angles, and above all, he wants to see your eyes - I somehow tend to cover them after 5 poses. At all times you know what has been taken, he looks out for your comfort and will never ask you to smth he would not be comfortable doing.

Patient, with a wicked sense of humor, he has quickly become a reliable friend of mine and comes across as a gentleman.

Highly recommended - if you get a chance to work with Brian - grab it - he really loves what he is doing and you will feel it in the pictures.

Brian signed up to attend my first Tuesday Club event, I knew it was going to be quality as soon as he did.

Brian arrives on time, well equipped and ready to make his magic.

Brian worked with 3 models and alongside 3 photographers on a 6-hour event.

I know already that the images produced are quality and I cannot wait to see them posted.

Brian works well within a group, plus is able and willing to pass on practical knowledge and skills.

I for one benefited from this coaching.

If you get the chance to work with this photographer, please don't pass it up.

Grab it with both hands.

Highly Recommended.

I had another shoot with Brian (having more shooting time on this occasion!) at one of Chris Barral's new events, with whom I rotated shooting alongside the amazing model BlackSwan.

Brian was great to work with, and we definitely got some brilliant images. We've already discussed working together again in future!

I look forward to working with him again and recommend him to others.

Thank you Brian!

Brian is a brilliant photographer and a lovely gentleman. He took my ideas onboard and included his own creative input to help me, great advice, and just an overall fabulous photographer to work with! :-)

I met up with Brian at Chris Barral's Tuesday Club event and we pretty soon got to work choosing backgrounds and outfits for our models while Chris was brewing up. I'm of the same generation as Brian and we hit it off from the start working together and chatting about photography in the breaks. All in all a great time made all the more pleasant with Brian's chat and help. Recommended.

It was delightful to have another fantastic shoot with BGA.

As I'm busy at work and the course these days, my time is very limited to book a shoot! But Brian kindly was flexible with my few availabilities and fortunately, we could find a local studio to work in Liverpool.

He was there before me and pre-communication was excellent as always.

Brian brought 3 new brand outfits to try in our shoot and sent me their images that gave me a clue to bring and match some accessories and shoes with them.

He took more than 500 images and gave me all in an sd card the same day. When I looked through the images at home, was very difficult to find a favourite to post on PP because he took many great photos.

Looking forward to create more images and highly recommend him!

Many thanks

Welcomed Brian to our studio last week for a shoot. He's super professional, has loads of good ideas and comes prepared with great photographing knowledge.

Pre-comms were great and it was lovely getting to meet Brian in person, absolutely welcome anytime

I finally got to work with Brian after we didn't get to work together at a group shoot and am glad we got it booked.

Brian came to my home and arrived on time.

Brian is such a lovely guy and fun to work with and easy to get along with and makes you feel completely comfortable within seconds. We did alot of chatting during our shoot and some laughs. Before we knew it time had gone but shows what a great shoot we had. Brian is Very professional and knows what kind of images he wants. Brian has ideas of his own and is also happy to work with yours.

I would highly recommend Brian to any model and am definitely looking forward to working with Brian again in the future

Thank you Brian for a fun shoot can't wait to see the images.

Sooooo pleased that I get to cross paths with another photographer who has an idea of what I'm going to be like as a person....then they meet me in person :D

Communication with you was a breath of fresh air after reading my page and asking appropriate questions. There were no crossed wires and it was easy and straight forward to get the booking complete.

You arrived at my house, on time and ready to shoot.

After a little chat about what we wanted to achieve the shoot began. You can always tell when a photographer just has that good lense that makes models look amazing!!!!

The conversation throughout the shoot flowed easily and effortlessly. You were friendly, funny, chatty but remained completely professional at all times.

I don't have a negative thing to say and I would work with you again without hesitation.

Recommended To All :D

Great photography and super professional Gent' ...I'm amazed by the speed of quality output of his images taken at Chris Barral's farm project!...this Man's portfolio speaks volumes and he is consistent with great results! I watched him at work with numerous models and was impressed by his approach and stylish camera work! Team player and great job!

Chris Barral

First time Brian has attended one of my events and hopefully not the last.

Brian signed up to attend my 'Day on The Farm' event on a 30-acre farm in Cheshire.

Pre shoot communication were excellent.

Supported a model to get to and from the event safely so making them able to attend too.

Arrived on time, kit ready and raring to go.

With 11 models and 9 photographers Brian had a tall order to work with them all but he gave it a good go.

The weather was devilish, but this did not dampen this photographers' spirits which were upbeat and enthusiastic throughout.

Good to have met you and hope to see you on another...dryer event soon.

It has actually been over 6 months since I last shot with Brian which doesn’t sound a lot but actually it is, as we seem to be in contact quite a lot. I was happy that he had booked onto an event that I was booked to model at - A Day On The Farm.

I was nervous that he wouldn’t enjoy himself - but I’m so glad he did. Phew. Although he did recognise a few models and not just me so that was good.

Not only did I get the chance to catch up with him for a good natter, we actually shot twice in the 6 hours we were there. Fantastic.

Nailed it!
