I have carried out a few more shoots with Pete recently.

He has helped me greatly to regain my confidence in front of the camera.

Nothing further to add to my last review. He continues to be my photographer of choice. Professional, funny, helpful, and a stickler for detail.

I am loving the latest shots that Pete has done for me.

It goes without saying. If you are looking for a top end photographer, who is easy to get on with and able to photograph and edit to a great standard, Pete is your man.

Highly recommended.

I have known Pete for a while now. Initially as a local photographer, but now as a really good friend.

Pete has done a few photoshoots with me recently, to assist me into getting back into modelling.

He is an utter professional, funny, easy to go on with, very laid back and full of ideas.

The finished images are always excellent and Pete is very punctual with delivery of the final edits.

Pete is always my first port of call, when I need any new pictures taken.

I can not speak highly enough of him. He is a real professional. You will not be disappointed if you work with him.

Highly recommended.

Simply seductive

I had my first of many shoots with Pete today.

And I’d highly recommend him to others!

He turned up early with a big smile on his face and we both smiled laughed and chatted the whole time.

He was an absolutely gentleman and a star the whole day.

I Don’t think you could actually ask or want for a better first time meeting and shoot with someone.

He made me feel comfortable and was opened to my ideas(Or madness) and added to it.

And I can safely say, I see us shooting Many more times together as well as being good friends.

In fact it felt like we old mates, we chatted so much and got on so well.

As well as coming up with loads more ideas for future shoots.

And I Can’t wait to see results from today shoot, i know we’ve got some fab shoots already and that they will only be better once Pete has worked his magic on them.

Anyway as I’m already looking in my calendar for dates we both next available to shoot again...I’m thinking that says it all, as I wouldn’t recommend anyone I wouldn’t be happy to work with myself or with again.

I had a great first shoot with Pete today which he was able to do at very short notice. He arrived early and was very easy to get along with, made me feel very comfortable. Pete took me to an absolutely gorgeous location and knew what shots he wanted, he was also willing to listen to my ideas - before I knew it we'd been there a few hours! He was very complimentary which was lovely and a confidence booster as a new model.

I greatly enjoyed this shoot and am looking forward to seeing the pictures - I'd definitely recommend Pete and I'd love to do a shoot with him again!

Wow! What an amazing first shoot with Pete today!

Pete arrived on time at my home with time to spare for a coffee and chat before we started shooting.

I was instantly very comfortable with Pete from the minute he arrived and we worked very well together. We both knew exactly what we wanted from the shoot.

We shot for two hours today and it flew by! However, we caught 450 images with numerous set changes.

Pete is very friendly, easy to talk to and laid back.

100% recommend and I hope we can work together in the future :)

Thanks for a fab shoot!

Did my... I think 5th?! Shoot with Pete, this one at a hotel using the grounds and room. As always he picked me up to get me to there, we enjoyed a drink and catch up before commencing the shoot and got some fantastic images, all of which were delivered promptly over the next 24-48 hrs, along with more over the coming weeks of some more creative edits and styles.

Pete is a great company, professional and easy to get on with. I would highly recommend him to any models thinking of shooting with him.

Look forward to working together again soon :)

I worked with Pete and 2 female models had a great shoot.

He kept very calm even when one of the models tried to tell him how to do his job!

Did a shoot with Pete this morning. Unfortunately the April showers were against us. Pete came up with alternative suggestions and location to use, so we could still managed to get some great shots in.

Pete was open to suggestions also regarding the shoot.

Pete was a gentleman, very calm to be around and held great conversation.

Great time keeping, very quick with response and also getting the photos online.

Have arranged future shoots with Pete and would recommend him to other models.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Pete today. He arrived on time and was prepared to shoot. Our communication before and during the shoot was excellent. The shoot came out really good. I can’t wait to see the photos! The environment we worked in was great as the weather was quite sunny. The photographer made me feel comfortable and was really professional, friendly and well organised. I recommend him!

Pete arrived promptly and was very friendly and professional, he was easy-going and was made to feel comfortable, the shoot was a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself, would recommend and work with him again in the future.

I worked with Pete recently for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! He was very open and made me feel incredibly welcome, we talked about everything over a coffee before shooting.....being a freezing cold day he made me feel comfortable not to be stood out too long and did everything at my pace as well as allowing me to take charge and have my own direction. Hes a great personality and I love the edgy, winter shots he captured of me.

Would defo recommend :-)

Have known Pete for several months now, during which we have carried out several shoots together. All of which have been relaxed and very enjoyable, with varying locations indoors and out.

Pete is very efficient and easy to make arrangements with and always extremely prompt with the delivery of plenty of edited final images; normally within 24 hours. Another nice- especially for me personally being without own transport- and stand out point about him is that he has always been very forthcoming and willing to help out however possible with regards to transport to and from any shoot we have held.

Highly recommended, look forward to seeing and working with you again soon :)

My third shoot with Pete at a hotel local to us both for boudoir. It was a nice change for us as the first two shoots were location. Pete offered direction to trigger my brain and then let me get on with it, telling me what worked particularly well. What I like about Pete is his positive attitude towards other photographers and also models too. He will always recommend who else to work with which shows he doesn't feel threatened by competition. He also has such a fine eye for detail that he noticed a transparent thread that was as thin as a hair! He's full of praise and regularly works with new models who come back to him again and again. I have Pete on my team for a project I am organising this year so we have more shoots in the pipeline.

The shoot I had with Pete was my first after getting back into modelling, and he made me feel very relaxed and made the shoot enjoyable giving me very useful tips along the way. He was punctual and worked at an ideal pace, and very helpful. He is very professional but also easy to talk to and friendly, with a fun personality, he made me feel very at ease. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, I am very much looking forward to seeing the finished result as i love the style of his work. Thank you for a fantastic photoshoot :) I look forward to hopefully collaborating more in the future

I had my second shoot with Pete in the new forest. Pete uses natural lighting on his location shoots which I find gives a more natural look. Pete is kind and enthusiastic and a pleasure to shoot with if you like a laidback working environment. Pete treated me to the best cream tea in Burley that I have ever had! Turnover for images is fast and generous, and there are several edited versions to choose from (although I find I usually prefer the unedited or very lightly edited versions myself). Pete is also a fantastic wildlife photographer and so he is very versatile. I will work with Pete again when we have space in our busy schedules.

Pete applied to my casting for a graveyard shoot. Not everyone's cup of tea which I appreciate, but Pete was up to the task and shared my visions well as he has had experience taking photos in cemeteries. We picked a location near to both of us, and Pete kindly picked me up and dropped me home. The shoot flew by and we managed to get alot done in just over an hour which meant I wasn't in the cold for too long. Pete is complementary throughout which is always reassuring on a shoot too. I look forward to seeing the images and plan to work with Pete again as we have a similar quirky style and both have a love for gothic emotive images.

Peter and i organised a shoot at a local abandoned supposedly haunted mill. Pre comms were great And the location was perfect.

Pete was professional throughout and really down to earth. We had a quite a bit in common And got on well.

I really liked the images Pete provided and they went with the atmosphere perfectly. A lovely photographer who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Thank you.x
