Bren was a pleasure to host in the studio. He was respectful and professional with the model, very clear with his communications and left the studio in a clean and tidy state. Perfect client. Will look forward to welcoming Bren back any time.

Thank you AURA

Had an amazing shoot with Bren, who had made the effort to travel very early morning to make our duo shoot in redditch.

Friendly and professional throughout aswell as having so many ideas on the day. So much that we wanted to carry on past the time which is always a good sign!

We had such good fun on the shoot & the images I’ve seen so far are great :) we were also shown back of camera images on each set.

Highly recommended !

We'd love to think that Bren was up before the sparrows started cracking them off just to come and see us again but in reality we know it was because he'd booked to shoot the model supremo, namely Rachelle Summers, instead! Still, that aside, it was no less a pleasure to meet Bren again. A good aura follows this guy around, his beaming smile is infectious and his dedication to his art is undoubtable. You'll have trouble finding a more polite, well mannered and professional gent to enjoy a photoshoot with.

We thoroughly enjoy hosting Bren and hope to see him again soon. 100% recommended by us.

Rachelle Summers

Wow wow WOW! Is honestly the first words that come to mind from my shoot with Bren!

I’ve been modelling almost 14 years now and it is incredibly rare that your first shoot with someone goes as well as ours did! It normally takes a few shoots to build up a really good rapport with someone but with Bren it just clicked and we were producing absolute gold from the offset!

It helps that Bren is super lovely guy, really friendly and chatty and so easy to get along with, so we got on like a house on fire from the word go. He is also a bloody incredibleeeee photographer! Like wow - I’m absolutely obsessed with the images he took!

Honestly one of my favourite shoots of the year! Highly recommended and really hope to work with him in future!

I had a wonderful shoot a couple weeks back with Bren at The NLS with model friend Artemis Fauna. Bren wanted to do a Helmet Newton inspired duo shoot with me and Artemis, which worked out great. Bren sent over inspiration images prior the shoot so we had an idea of the look and styling he was going for. On the day of the shoot Bren brought along some Helmet Newton books for me and Artemis to view, which was great as it created a good mood for the shoot. Bren is super lovely, easy to work with and professional throughout. Really enjoyed the shoot and the images we got are amazing, very rewarding shoot.

Thanks Bren.

Bren came along to our film noir and murder mystery ‘Shadow of a Doubt’ event. It was our first time hosting him on an event and I’m so glad he came along! He got on with everyone so well and it was a real pleasure hosting him :)

Highly recommended by us and hope to host him again in future!

It was fantastic to have Bren in the studio today.

He arrived with a clear idea of what he wanted to shoot while working with Artemis and Carla and was happy both guide the shoot and accept assistance when it was offered.

Bren has a real passion for art and this comes across in his enthusiasm.

A total gentleman with his model and is recommended by the studio, we look forward to welcoming by I’m back.

Artemis Fauna

A few weeks ago I shot with Bren for the first time as a duo with Carla at NLS!

Bren had a clear plan of what he wanted, asking us to pack Helmut Newton inspired outfits and on the day, despite having a plan was super open to my suggestions on everything from poses to lighting.

The three hours flew by and we got some amazing images and had a lovely time in the process!

Love the results I have seen so far and really hope to shoot with Bren again in the not too distant future :)

Shooting with Bren.. Where do I start!

After talking for around 2 years we finally managed to shoot together, and it was everything I had hoped for and more.

Communication was spot on, fast responses, detailed messages and I had a clear picture of what we were going to be doing on the day.

The way Bren shoots is a breath of fresh air. He is extremely creative and unique in his ideas. We played out a narrative (which was very new to me) and it was honestly so much fun. We were both totally in the moment and flowing. It was magical. The playlists he put together for the occasion definitely helped set the mood - he literally thinks of everything!

Bren is a gentleman. Completely professional and respectful throughout. I honestly felt 100% comfortable. He is also just generally lovely company, radiating enthusiasm and creativity.

Throughout the shoot I got to see the BOC images and WOW. I am very much looking forward to seeing the finished results.

It goes without saying that I would highly recommend working with Bren. You will 100% come away full to the brim with confidence.

Thank you again ☺️

The fact that Bren left home for his shoot at Two Wei at around 4 am tells you all you should need to know about how dedicated he is to his craft. Despite hours of driving we were greeted with a huge smile which stayed with Bren all day - just like his stamina and enthusiasm - we’d like a pint of what he was drinking :)

Bren is really easy going, lovely to talk to and obviously very creative and skilled at capturing fantastic imagery.

Thank you for making such a great effort to get here Bren and we hope to see you again in the future.

It’s a 10 from us, without hesitation!

Bren and I were lucky enough to get some time to get shoot recently and had the most fantastic day getting creative, which was a breath of fresh air compared to these crazy recent times.!

I couldn't have felt more comfortable or encouraged. I was proud to have the chance to work with his new camera which we both enjoyed the contrast of creating beautiful and dramatic black and whites.

I honestly can't fault Bren. One of the most genuine guys around and highly professional from start to finish!

If you're looking to get back to shooting and get lucky enough to work with this guy then don't even doubt it. Highly recommended as a photographer by me and even on the list as friends, now (:

Until next time when we can adventure, thanks for everything. And for anyone wondering if they should-- just don't ever doubt working with this awesome guy! 💯 x

I absolutely adore working with Bren. After our first shoot at a glorious canyon in summer it was going to be hard to top but my oh my our second shoot was everything and more! Bren had us shoot in a car garage and it was an absolute dream.

He is one of the kindest photographers I’ve had the pleasure of working with, considerate, creative and creates such a comfortable working atmosphere. Combine this with his extraordinary talent but humble attitude and I really do think you would be a fool not to shoot with him.

The images were nothing short of extraordinary and I say with so much enthusiasm that I look forward to shooting again next year.

Thankyou so much Bren, and merry Christmas!

I had the pleasure of shooting a ‘strip poker’ set with Bren before Christmas and I can truely say he easily topped it as the best shoot of the year for me.

As always pre gonna were clear, kind and considerate. I knew exactly what to expect and felt really confident what we were aiming to achieve

On the day Bren was so lovely as always, his priority truely us your comfort. He was kind enough to bring chocolates too! We worked at my pace and I quickly got into the zone. I will say with Bren behind the camera i feel I produced some of my best work. His eye for detail, story telling, allure and an effortless ability to capture it down the lens is extraordinary.

His sound track choice was also EPIC and set the best tone for the shoot

I can’t praise Bren highly enough. I urge any models new or experienced to add Bren’s artistry to their portfolios. You will absolutely.m be blown away by his talent and ability to push the boundaries of your own work. He’s a magician and his camera is his magic. I can not wait to see what we produce in 2021

Happy new year to you

It was an absolutely marvelous shoot. Bren made sure that I was comfortable prior to starting. He had a plan and a moodboard of what he wanted to achieve but it wasn't super rigid allowing for creative expression.

He gave direction but also let me do my thing! The images are superb and the playlist was EVERYTHING. Genuinely thrilled

Would I Recommend Bren? 100% Yes!

Prior Communications were top notch, so professional and Bren was always suggesting ideas of things we could try and by the time we came to shoot day we had a clear image in our minds.

We arrived at our agreed meeting point from the moment Bren stepped out the car I knew this was going to be a good shoot. Bren was super friendly and I felt immediately comfortable.

Off we went to the location of the shoot. Bren brought numerous props along to help us achieve our vision and gave great direction throughout the shoot.

Such an amazing shoot and I loved every minute of it! I cannot recommend Bren enough and will hopefully be working with him in the future.

Last minute jump in...

couldn’t say no, could I! We had tried for awhile to arrange a shoot abs with no luck due to timings! But we finally achieved an edgy and sultry look. We had fluid posing which made things fantastic and easy.

We hadn’t planned any of this- we just went with the flow! We had a laugh- especially over my vimto!

He kept things professional, he respected me and ensured that I was comfortable. We had such a laugh throughout the lovely images we’ve captured! I would highly reccomend Bren as he is a genuine abs supportive gentleman.

I can’t wait to work with him again, which I believe is soon in cardiff! We already have our next shoot ideas ready! 😂 Bren is just awesome. He captures the image in the moment and can make your insecurity the most beautiful thing you’ve seen.

Not only a fantastic photographer but one of the friendliest and kindnest people you could meet.

Thank you for a lovely hour Bren, I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait to see our photos!

100% reccomend! Don’t hesitate to book.

Had a fab shoot with Bren! I’ve only been modelling since end of July so I can be a little nervous and need a bit of direction, and Bren have fantastic direction, he knew exactly what he wanted and he is such a lovely guy whilst maintaining professional. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. I can not wait for the next shoot. I’ve seen a few photos already and I’m so happy with them! Thanks for an awesome shoot.
