I shot with Tony and his lovely wife last month over at the Honeywood Studio (after I found it, for the second time)

Tony's pre-coms are fantastic, he made sure that both models knew the plan for the afternoon and sent over some lovely ideas. Tony is very easy to work with and is open to suggestions. Hes more than happy to let us model run wild (I joke) although he is very considerate of the models.

This was my second shoot with Tony which hopefully shows I'd work with him again :D

I had an absolute blast with Tony down at Riverside Studios a few weeks ago, we chose Riverside for the location and boy did we make the most of it!

Tony is so easy to work with and fun, with different ideas al the way through. Considering how hot it was Tony and I achieved some beautiful images and being as hot as it was Tony made sure I was comfortable the whole time!

I would happily and Highly recommend Tony

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tony yesterday alingside his beautiful wife Joyce (JJ Phoenix)

Pre comms were excellent, including details of the shoot and Tonys ideas.

Tony met us at a location of ours, he arrived early, well organised and ready to roll!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tony as his approach to photography is great. It was a fun, laid back shoot with great imagination.

Tony is a genuinely lovely man and I loved working with him! Thanks Tony!!!

Just finished 2 days working alongside Tone on a couple of shoots over the whole weekend. The first was doing some bodypainting with his boss ( his lovely wife) where Tone was assisting to help things run smoothly and with great results. He makes an awesome cuppa even though he doesn't really drink them himself, and doesn't over do the doughnuts which were freely on offer had he wanted any :) The second day we worked alongside each other on a "share a shoot" with his lovely wife (the boss as previously mentioned lol) and the fabulous Sophia west. The 2 ladies worked wonderfully together, complimenting each other superbly, and myself and Tone got some fantastic results, with each of us assisting each other while the other was shooting them.

I think both days went off brilliantly and we all worked like a great team. We also had an awful lot of fun and I would love to do something similar in the future.

Tone may be fairly new to the world of photographing other models, but I have to say he is extremely professional in his approach to doing so, which I guess is down to no small part of living with a professional model, and his pre-shoot comms were exemplary. He is a lot more creative than he gives himself credit for, and after initial nerves, was more than competent at getting the images he had carefully pre-planned.

Tone is a real gentleman who already has the bug and passion for wanting to improve his own work, and already has the basics down to a tee of how you go about working with professional models. He has the models interests and comfort as the top priority at all times which is 90% of what makes a successful shoot.With that in mind, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tone to any models thinking of working with him. He had to travel some distance each day to get here and the locations and was early each morning and fully prepared for the day.

IMHO Tone is already professional in his work and now just needs more experience actually doing the shoots he so very carefully plans and prepares for.

Cheers Tone for a great weekend, and I hope we can do it again sometime.

Ok, this may appear to be bias for some people but I have worked with my future fiancé on too numerous occasion to mention but this was his debut as part of setting up his purpleport portfolio.

Tony is certainly an enthusiastic amateur who is a total gentleman. Tony has accompanied me on quite a few of my shoots and therefore understands the processes and protocols involved. He needs some nurturing in some respect but for what he lacks in knowledge/experience he makes up for in enthusiasm and humour.

Please give him a go as he is certainly good for a laugh and his images are improving with every opportunity that he gets to pick up a camera.

Obviously I will be working with him again, and as a model, if you want to shoot with him, I can be there for you as a chaperone/tea-coffee maker if required.

Met Tone at an organised group shoot. Although Tony was a little nervous at first he soon got into the swing of things, he has a great eye for an image and a good grasp of what he wants to achieve from his images. Look forward to meeting up with Tone again soon.

Finally had the chance to work with this lovely gentleman at WIndmill Studios! Tony is a true gentleman and has a great sense of humour so the time just flies by. I would love to shoot with him again and could recommend him to anyone!
