I finally had the pleasure of working with Tony at his home studio during my recent London tour. His precommunication skills were excellent. He is such a lovely, down to earth person as well as an amazing photographer. We got on so well and the time flew by! We created many fantastic images. Tony comes very highly recommended by me and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Had my second shoot with Tony and this time it was a solo one at Photovibe Studio. He is very good at knowing what ideas work and researching images to get great results. I always know in advance what outfits to pack and what is expected of me beforehand. The pre shoot comms are first class and this helps a great deal. I was so excited with the brilliant images off the back of the camera, having trouble choosing which ones to have as I love them all! Looking forward to our next shoot in Jan 2018!

Thanks Tony. 😊

Had my first shoot with Tony after seeing his superb work on here and adding him to my want to work with list. I then discovered beautiful Joyce and the rest is history.....

Pre shoot comms were excellent the ideas were going back and forth. Their house is a dream to shoot in, I was made comfortable and very well looked after during the whole time. Joyce and I clicked straight away she is amazing to work with and very knowledgeable. The images Tony produced have been awesome, love them! Can't wait to work with them again, highly recommended!

Lovely shoot with Tony.

Communications before the shoot were brilliant. Ideas shared from both sides.

Polite, professional and respectful at all times. I felt completely at ease and comfortable throughout the entire shoot.

Love the pictures that we managed to get and look forward to further Shoots together.

Fully recommend.

Had the most wonderful second shoot with Tone at his home and local outdoor places, we had been arranging this even when I was away in Europe.

I really honestly could not have asked for better hosts, both Tone and his beautiful wife were just amazing they went above and beyond what I would ever expect.

Always love shooting with Tone and we get on really well really easy to chat to and just generally have a great time. Honestly couldn't speak highly enough of Tone and Joyce they are amazing people and so much fun.

Pre comms were excellent, meeting up in London to go back to Tone's was super easy, the shoot was brilliant and lots of great outdoor locations as well as at his brilliant home which has endless possibilities for stunning shots.

Highly highly recommend Tone. Hope this wont be our last ever shoot... but for now. Thanks again to both of you xx

I had another fantastic and enjoyable shoot with Tony.

This time it was on location and my way :) we managed to do a beach shoot, stop for coffee and breakfast, (just for me may I add!) then off to a derilict church site which was so much fun!

Tony was as always so welcoming and easy to chat to. He was also my chauffeur for the day so it was brilliant!

Tony is great at having in mind a shot before he takes it and when he gets it we move on. He is also great on location with being aware of other people to not offend.

It was again a brilliant day which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Always a pleasure

Highly recommended

First line of my reference is FIRST SHOOT WITH TONE , WONT BE THE LAST!

We had set up a very last minute shoot in Cambridge, set up last night and we met up today in Cambridge and enjoyed our 3 hour shoot

He was great at pre communication prior our shoot! He turned up ontime, was chatty and friendly.. we ventured out into sunny Cambridge around the parks and buildings

He was very enthusiastic to try everything out, from standing under trees to shooting on stairs, doorways.. you name it!

He certainly has a great eye with photography, the lighting was always spot on. If I'm honest I never saw one bad shot!

We even got chance for a coffee chat & food! Yes FOOD! Can you believe it... I had the best time and it was like we'd known eachother in a past life or something! Madness

Thoroughly enjoyed myself

Can't wait for the next shoot!

Perhaps won't be a last minute plan like today. But even if it is! I'm very much looking forward :D !!!

Highest recommendation known to photography!!!

Thank you Tone!

I had a fantastic shoot with Tony yesterday out on location. When I say location I mean various different places. It was amazing how much we could fit in.

We were able to shoot with so many different backdrops and styles it really was incredible.

Tony is definitely a photographer to watch. He has great ideas and is able to get the shot he wants in no time at all.

Also a great laugh too! Which helps a lot!!

Great day and so productive.

Cannot recommend highly enough

Jodie Ellen

I honestly could not even tell you what number she is now with me and Tony

Tony and I have finally managed to get on location down at his neck of the woods. Only for an hour or so before the heavens opened. But what we did get was absolutely incredible with a huge variety of images. Unfortunately we did have to resort to plan B but I think it is probably our best yet Plan B.

Again with the absolutely gorgeous natural Tony had some fantastic ideas shooting in the gorgeous bay windows as you can tell I probably would recommend tony hundred percent and I'm looking forward to shooting with him and Joyce next time! See you later!!!

RiverSideStudio

This was RiverSidesStudios second visit from Tony.

Tony's model had contacted us about doing a car shoot at RiverSideStudio, Tony owning a Nissan 370z, that we brought down our 350z and we were able to accommodate due to Jodie's advanced booking.

Last time Tony came, the weather was on his side, and again time God shined on us, and he was able to spend his time outside exploring the location.

We here at RiverSideStudio highly recommend Tony, he is a great guy, in fact a Gent with his model for the day .

Many Thanks For the car Shoot

I thought I had better try and get this reference done before tomorrow ls next shoot and then have to catch up again.... 😂

Have you seen the images from last week? Have you? Well then do I really need to say how epic Tony is? Or how epic the shoot was?

Just in case you haven't realised.. it was pretty epic.

We started off shooting outside with a little bit luck with the weather and then scooted over to the pub for some lunch; which was absolutely delicious!

Then headed home to the "photography corner" where the spent the rest of the afternoon pulling out some epic shots!

100% recommended !!

Finally got to meet up with Tony again after a couple of years and couldn't believe how much he has excelled in photography!

He is super professional and has a knowledge and passion about him that just oozes through. Coupled with his sense of humour and infectious laugh the time just flies by making it great fun.

I hope I did him proud and can't wait to see him again. I can't hesitate to recommend shooting with him :D

JJ Phoenix

I suppose I am biased with @bigbaldtone being my hubby, but I must admit that his skills these last few months are now speaking for themselves.

He's confident in giving direction along with allowing model input into the mix.

He always undertakes good pre-shoot comms and if possible, supplies a story board of images that he would like to achieve, or achieve similar too, thus allowing for his and/or models own styles to come through in the image.

very quick to supply images too along with feedback.

great all rounder who is excelling with every new shoot

Roger Acres Photography

Had a great shoot with Tony on Saturday as usual he provided the goods in booking and paying for the venue.

Good coms pre shoot and great company to shoot with.

I'd recommend him for any willing model and his lovely wifey JJ Phoenix.

Cheers Tone

This was my first shoot with Tony and it won't be our last!

His pre shoot communications were great, he picked me up from my home making travelling much easier.

He checked many times throughout the shoot that I was okay and that I didn't need anything, and provided food and drink on our break!

Great images, great fun.

I would highly recommend Tony!

Travelled up to Essex to work with BigBaldTone as a joint shoot with GPL BigBaldTone and his wife (JJPhoneix) kindly suggested i travel up the day prior to the shoot and stay with them which was a lot of help they were great hosts such lots of fun if offered to you i recommend it highly. The shoot was fun with BigBaldTone while GPL was giving him some small mentoring got some great images and had a real laugh. Highly recommend this photographer as you can see the images truly Fab.

BigBaldTone thanks for a great shoot and i look forward to working with you again if you need me too xx

I always have time for anyone who has a passion for photogprahy and wishes to learn. Tony is such a man and being my friend also helps. He offered to accomodate Lula T, a model who lives too far for me to shoot easily, for a tutorial shoot at his place and we booked a long way in advance. Tony likes the way i teach and he soaks it up like a sponge and has a constant desire to improve and is doing so rapidly. Its always a pleasure and and easy day when someone is like minded.Recommended to any model and Thanks for a great day Tone and see you next time.

Jodie Ellen

I don't even know what number reference and in what period of time this is in now tbh!!

I think the last time I shot with Tony was at his (for the third time that week) to which we tried to mix it up a bit more from the last two times. Tony never falls short of an idea that he wants to try, or a new lighting technique that he wants to perfect!

Its so nice to see someone trying to push themselves and their skills to improve themselves.

Today I shot with Tony and Serenity model, the day went so quickly and with great ease. Tony had put together a mood board before the shoot for us and we tried to go through a few of the ideas in the time that we had.

Thankfully Tony finds it very easy to look at an image and know how he wants it lit and the effect he wants to achieve. We virtually flew through different ideas!

I had a great day with both! ♥

Serenity.

Tony came along to my studio day at Tim's cottage and shot with me alongside Jodie Ellen. As usual, Tony was absolutely perfect to work with and was his usual happy and funny self.

Tony put together a moodboard with ideas and had lots of cool and creative ideas of his own for us to try. We managed to do a lot of different set ups and created some cracking images.

He is one of the easiest photographers to work with and really lights up a shoot. This was my second time shooting with him and it was really great to see the improvement and how far Tony has come along in confidence with his photography.

Of course we were made to feel 100% comfortable whilst shooting and Tony was open to listen to our ideas as well.

We made a super team!

I always enjoy my shoots with him and hope there are more to come :)

Highly recommended

Meet with Tony for the first time on a Dickension style shoot and it was a great pleasure to work with him. we first done a group shoot, then had a walk round the grounds and Tony had some fab ideas , and he was very easy to work with.

I am really looking forward to seeing the images from a fab day and

hopefully we can work together again soon.
