I had a brief shoot with Brian at Chris Barral's latest networking event on the farm.

Despite the weather being against us all, it didn't stop anyone giving it their all and having an amazing day!

Brian was a pleasure to work with, and we got some great images; I only wish we had more shooting time!

I would happily work with him again and recommend him to others.

Thank you Brian :)

I had my fourth shoot with Brian on Thursday, when he booked me for a pinup shoot at Far Forest Studio.

Brian was welcoming and lovely company in the shoot, as always. He brought along some of my favourite cakes for me to take home with me, and it was lovely to catch up with a coffee in between sets. The four hours together flew by and, judging by the back of cams, we captured a variety of beautiful looks together. Brian hadn’t shot pinup before but he took to it like a duck to water, and I’m excited to see his results!

Brian was kind enough to bring along some outfits of his own (that he gifted to me after the shoot) that really added to the diversity of the shoot. They are beautiful dresses and they looked great on camera.

I’d recommend Brian to other models, and I hope to work with him again soon. Thanks so much Brian 😁

I had another great shoot with Brian in Libre studio in Liverpool.

We tried different backgrounds, outfits, a new prism and some other new lighting stuff which were very interesting to experience.

Also, Brian used his new brand camera for the first time and the images have been taken by it are amazing in quality.

I like the way how he always investigates and researches to improve his photography techniques, knowledge and skills and always shares them generously.

We created many lovely images again. Always is difficult to select between them as most are great.

Highly recommended.

Many thanks 🌺

And we finally meet again for another home studio shoot.

As always - pre-shoot communication - is spot on and he is patient with me if I sometimes get lost in translation, which can happen sometimes.

Brian arrived perfectly on time, we confirmed the ideas talked in emails, and off shooting, we went.

During the shoot, we experienced a few sassy lighting issues, but Brian fixed it in no time, and we were bouncing ideas to each other and time just flew.

The time flew so fast, I do not know how we did not end up shooting gel, but that would be a great reason for the next shoot which has been already discussed.

Highly recomended

Thank you so much, Brian, for delightful shoot and lots of smiles.

I thoroughly enjoyed our first shoot together. I was already comfortable with him before the shoot as the communication was very professional and no fuss. He is very relaxing to be around. It feels like I've known him for a while. Ofcourse he was on time and maintained professionalism throughout the shoot. I'm also impressed by the image on the back of the camera and looking forward to how they turn out. I would recommend him.

It was delightful to work with Brian again in Libre Studio.

Brian is always on time and well-equipped.

His enthusiasm for taking high-technique images helps to create better photos every time!

4 hours of fun shoot and I never felt tired or bored during the shoot.

We tried new lighting which

Worked very well.

It would be a great experience for any new or experienced model to work with BGA and highly recommend him to work.

Many thanks

I had another great shoot with Brian in Libre Studio in Liverpool.

He kindly drove a long way to come to a studio that is convenient for me to get there.

He arrived earlier and helped me to sort out the car park issues patiently. (Much appreciated again)

3 hours shoot went very fast and he took more than 500 hundred nice images.

Brian is very precise to adjust the lighting professionally and that's why images are always great.

Also, He always asks my idea about the outfits and backdrop colours which I appreciate.

Looking forward to our next shoot and highly recommend him to work with.

Many thanks!

It was a pleasure to work with Brian again last week when he booked a slot on my ‘bridal prep’ photography event at a beautiful Air BnB in Bridgnorth. The first two times we worked together were one-to-one shoots, but this time Brian was accompanied by his friend, and wedding photographer, Amy.

Shoots with a Brian are always very relaxed and productive, and Wednesday was no exception. Communication before the shoot was detailed and informative so we all knew exactly what to expect on the day. Brian was kind enough to pick Amy up and drive them both a considerable way to the property,

Together we shot a ‘getting ready set’ and a ‘bridal dress’ set using both the indoor and outdoor spaces. I’d bought another suitcase of alternative outfit options so we finished outdoors with a medieval dress for some variety.

Brian and Amy bounced ideas off of one another throughout the shoot and the morning was really creative. The shoot was also a lot of fun! Conversation flowed freely and we spent as much time chatting and laughing as we did shooting! Brian had also brought along a huge selection of cakes and a box of chocolates for me, knowing I’d be at the property all day, which was such a lovely gesture, and one I appreciate immensely.

I’d recommend Brian to other models and I’m looking forward to shooting with him again soon! Thanks for another lovely shoot Brian! 😁

Had a wonderful day with BGA images on a joint shoot with the lovely Miss Rosie Lea. Communication was great all the way through. Our brainstorming was enlightening. Sharing our techniques with each other opened my eyes and would love to try in my future projects.

We had fun all day and would love to collaborate again soon.

Many thanks for this experience.

It was a pleasure to have another great shoot with Brian in Pathway studio. Specifically, it was our last shoot there as the studio owner decided to retire from his lovely studio.

Brian booked me and the studio for 4 hours and as always he was generous in any way which I appreciated.

Times went very fast and we managed to take more than 600 images with 7 different looks and outfits.

He gave me all images the same day and I looked through them and am very pleased with the photos.

He was very precise and tried to take photos with the best lighting and technique.

Looking forward to our next shoots and recommend him to any new or experience models or studio to work with.

Many thanks

I had my second shoot with Brian yesterday and it was lovely to work with him again!

Brian booked me for a four hour shoot at Daniel’s Mill in Bridgnorth. As always, pre-comms we’re excellent and thorough. Brian left styling and outfits up to me so I bought a selection of looks that work well with the location.

We had a really lovely, productive shoot! Brian showed me back of cams as we shot and the images were beautiful… The edits I’ve seen since, even more so!

Brian made sure I was fed, watered and comfortable throughout the shoot and was kind enough to buy me refreshments for our coffee break at the Mill’s tearoom. A very kind gesture, and one very much appreciated by this cake-loving model.

Brian and I are in talks about another shoot in the near future and I’m looking forward to it already. Thanks for a lovely shoot Brian 😊

After a while, it was delightful to have a great shoot with Brian on a warm nice day on the beach.

He kindly drove a far way to the location I offered where convenient for me to come and he arrived before me as I expected.

As always, he made me comfortable choosing any outfits or colours which I preferred for the shoot.

We managed to take many nice photos and gave them all at the same time and I'm very pleased with the images.

Many thanks 🙂👍

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome Brian to our studio for his first visit and we hope it was the first of many more to come.

Excellent communication ahead of the booking and timely in his arrival.

He was a pleasure to have as a guest, very professional in his manner and a pleasure to talk to.

We are looking forward to seeing the results of the shoot.

Highly recommended to any model or studio.

It was a pleasure to meet and work with Brian for the first time, when he booked me for a four hour shoot at Far Forest Studio.

Brian has liked and commented on my work for a while now on Purpleport and social media, and I’ve always appreciated his support. So it was lovely to make official contact with him and finally meet him in person.

Brian is a kind, considerate person and he puts much emphasis on the importance of shoots being relaxed and comfortable. The four hours flew by as a result, and there was a lot of chatting and getting to know each other, mixed in amongst some really productive shoot time.

As is clear from Brian’s port, his images are beautiful and the edits from our shoot that I’ve seen so far are no exception!

I’d recommend Brian to other models, and I’m very much looking forward to our next shoot. Thanks Brian!

Jenny James

Myself and Brian shot for the first time last week. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was very easy going and polite, we were both very chatty which made me feel comfortable and made the shoot absolutely fly by. I think we covered all topics!

We got some fabulous shots which he’s just started uploading and I’m looking forward to seeing. I would work with him again and I would say recommend him to come other models! I hope to shoot with you again Brian! - Jenny James

And one more successful shoot - this time we finally did an outdoors mix with indoors.

As always arrived on time, generously with some launch for both of us and even sweet treats for my bf.

A very kind person inside and out.

Thank you so much indeed.

Until next time.

Highly recomended

Had our 4th shoot this time.

This time Brian brought along a ot of fashion colour ideas, and we went through quite a few outfit sets.

Brian comes as down to earth, happy to experiment photographer. Guidance is given when and if needed.

He also brought us the treats for brake - sandwiches, and cake. I can honestly say, I feel a bit spoiled.

I am hyper a little bit and my biggest wish is to calm down, one day I will. Though telling me to ''calm down'' also brings me even more stress. So therefore in the end I was even posing without a breath.

That would be the only thing to add.

I felt comfortable throughout the shoot and even spoiled to bits. Brian was kind to offer the new higher backdrop stands - and we managed various different images.

I am very happy with the colors Brian has brought also into my portfolio.

Thank you very much.

Highly recommended

Just Julie.

What a lovely photographer.

Communication second to none, any questions I had about the shoot, Brian gave me as much information as possible. Nothing was too much trouble.

A very welcoming Relaxed shoot, good direction, and very complimentary.

Even a plate of biscuits and a brew!

And seeing what he produces on his camera- His photos are amazing. I look forward to shooting with Brian again.

I would 100% recommend BGA to anyone.
