I had the pleasure to work with Pete yesterday. I'm quite new to modelling and this was my first shoot which I was a bit nervous about but Pete put me at ease so easily. He is very kind, friendly and easy going. We got well on with each other.

He did around 500 raw pictures of me and he was very quick editing them.

We're going to arrange another shoot soon.

I would definitely recommend Pete!

Thank you again Pete!

I had my first shoot with Pete yesterday, great communication from the beginner with clear creative ideas, I wasn’t confused about the looks he wanted to create. He very kindly picked me up from my place to location.

Had a great morning and looking forward to next shoot

Thanks Pete

Yesterday I had my first shoot with Pete.

His pre-comms were excellent and as I don't drive, he arranged to pick me up and drive us to a wonderful country setting to make the most of the lovely golden leaves etc.

Pete came highly recommended, so I had high expectations of him. I was not disappointed. He is instantly likeable, clearly very good at his work, funny and very thoughtful during the shoot of making me comfortable.

We spent about two hours in the woods and fields and managed to achieve some amazing shots.

Pete then took me for lunch, before driving me home.

I can't wait to see the edited images. Going by the RAW images that he showed me, I think they will be superb.

Pete is a stickler for fine detail, and spent a few moments before each shot to make sure that there were no unsightly details marring the background.

To sum up, I would say that I chose wisely with Pete. I came home feeling happy that we had both managed to create some beautiful memories together.

If you are looking for a very professional photographer who is easy to get on with and will keep you laughing, I would highly recommend Pete.

Can't wait to work together again soon.

My first shoot today with Pete and it was great, Pete gave me some good instruction when needed and made me feel very comfortable. We got some great images and we are already booking our next shoot! I look forward to making some more fabulous images!

Pete and I discussed doing a "reflections" shoot, as we had just had a lot of rain.

Pete is expert at composure, so knew exactly what results he wanted.

We drove out into a local woodland setting with a lot of flooding, which proved ideal.

Although we were there for just 45 minutes, we managed over 350 shots on Pete's camera.

I have viewed them all prior to editing, and they look amazing.

Pete. Your work is amazing, and I will continue working with you for as long as you will have me.

As always, you are highly recommended. BTW, thank you for lunch. x

Well it is only two weeks since my first session with Pete. I couldn't resist doing a second.

This time we decided on a boudoir shoot up to nude.

As usual, Pete made me feel instantly at ease and the whole shoot just flowed beautifully.

Pete is not a tyrant like some togs I have been told about. He is extremely laid back and professional and has a great personality and sense of humour.

I did ask Pete if he could give any critical comments on my modelling. He was very nice about the whole thing as pointed out some posing tips which I took on board and contributed to a brilliant set of images.

Once again, I would highly recommend Pete if you are looking for someone who is obviously great at his job and has a great easy going nature.

Many more shoots to come.

Top recommendation from me. x

I had a fantastic photoshoot with Pete yesterday.

All pre-comms were excellent, and he put my mind at rest immediately by answering all of my questions.

As I don't drive, Pete drove to my home in Wiltshire, where we did a two hour shoot based on boudoir and art nude.

Pete has such a professional manner about him, that I felt instantly at ease and we achieved some amazing images.

Pete has an amazing eye for detail. He spent time analysing all of the backgrounds before doing the shoot, and rearranging small details like the framed pictures and bedside furniture to look it's best.

I had dozens of outfits to show Pete prior to the shoot and he chose four different ones for the shoot.

Now that I have seen all of the RAW images on Pete's camera prior to any editing, I am absolutely delighted with them.

I would totally recommend Pete to any model wanting a high quality shoot with a lovely, easy going and funny photographer.

Thank you so much Pete. I couldn't be happier.

Highly recommended. x

Well, another brilliant shoot with my favourite tog.

As usual, precoms excellent, arrangement and location first class and lots of laughs and fun.

Pete is always my first port of call. His quality is first class and he is so quick when providing the final edited images.

Thanks again Pete. You are a legend. X

I have just had my first shoot since signing up with Purpleport.

Pete was recommended to me by several other friends and models, so I messaged him for info.

Pre-comms were excellent. We discussed styles, locations and outfits then met up the next day at a great location chosen by Pete.

From the off, I found Pete to be an utter professional. He immediately put me at ease and made the whole experience enjoyable and unstressed.

Pete let me browse through the RAW images on his camera before he started processing them. The results look superb.

With a great personality and a great sense of humour, Pete is not just a fantastic tog, but a lovely person to work with.

Thank you so much for making the whole shoot a great experience. I will definitely be booking you again.

Highly recommended. X

Another shoot with my favourite tog.

Lingerie and nude today.

I won't go on and on, but suffice to say Pete was brilliant as usual.

Creative, full of ideas, easy to get along with and utterly professional.

I have looked at the unedited images on his camera, and they are looking superb. Can not wait to see the edited ones.

Top marks as usual and highly recommended.

Thanks Pete. x

Had my first shoot back with Pete after the longest lockdown ever! Like had never had a break, work amazing together and have a great laugh always! We managed to take over 900 amazing photos In less than 2 hours! We did some home shooting and then ventured out to some graffiti backdrops that were brilliant and worked perfectly with my outfit Pete picked out before we left, always really good shoots and really good images produced. Thanks mate look forward to next time! Definitely highly recommended to anyone! Xx

Wow. I have just finished another location shoot with Pete.

He called me up and asked if I was interested in doing a shoot with another of his lady models at a lovely countryside setting.

Although, we were only able to do a fairly quick 60 minute shoot, which flew by, we achieved some amazing photos. Pete is an utter perfectionist and knows exactly what he wants to achieve before we even start posing.

I have said it before, you tend to stick with a great photographer when you find one. This is why Pete is always at the top of my list if I want any more images taken.

From the outset, he is relaxed, positive, funny and a joy to work with.

I have seen the images on Pete's camera, and they look amazing. Can't wait to see the finished edited articles.

Once the lockdown is over, I will be booking some boudoir style shoots with Pete at his lovely apartment.

Once again, 10 out of 10 Pete. Totally recommended. x

I have just had a fantastic location shoot with Pete, as obviously that was all that we were able to do during the lockdown.

Having spoken to several modelling friends in my area, they all said that Pete is the tog that they always choose.

From the outset, he was a delight to work with. Utterly professional, very funny, full of compliments (which I need at the moment) and full of valuable advice.

Although we only had a one hour slot to do our shoot, Pete worked like a Trojan. We managed three costume changes and several background scenarios.

I told Pete that I was new to the game and that I was a bit nervous, but he was an utter gentleman, giving professional advice and keeping me calm.

Within a few hours of completion, I was already receiving some fabulous edited images, with more promised.

As a newcomer to the mad world of glamour modelling, I just hope that any future togs turn out to be as good as Pete.

Highly recommended by me.

After a break of a few months, I decided to dip my foot back into some modelling.

I have always used Pete as my tog of choice in the past, and between the two of us, we have achieved some amazing photographs.

Pete is utterly professional, a stickler for detail and the most wonderful person to collaborate with.

Pete will always give constructive comment where necessary, without being overbearing. He always gives great advice regarding pose styles, shadows, lighting and expression.

I have had a look at today's images on his camera, prior to editing, and they look amazing. Really can't wait to see the final edits. This is where Pete's artistry really shines.

If you are looking for a really top photographer, who is easy going, reliable, totally professional and funny, I will always thoroughly recommend Pete.

Thanks again Pete. See you again soon. x

Just had my first shoot with Pete... I’m

New to this and Pete made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

He gave me advice and direction as I asked him to, had a nice chit chat whilst we worked and have already talked about doing more shoots. I highly recommend Pete for anyone wanting a comfortable professional shoot!

I shot with Pete earlier in the year along with another local model. He had found a fantastic location to shoot and drive us both there and back and provided lunch 🙌 it was very relaxed and we found him so easy to work with. And the final images were great 😊
