Briaaann!!

Ahhh where to start! Bri and I have shot multiple times over the years and hes such a wholesome soul! always happy to see him and catch up when we do shoot!

Brian is such a friendly creature and takes awesome images as well as putting up with my random singing and dancing outburts! I could actually write an essay on him tbh!

But keeping it short and sweet for PP - DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED! I know it wont be our last shoot and already looking forward to the next!

Thank you Brian and see you again soon!

I had a wonderful session with Brian at Neon Dreams. He was very delightful to work with. Lovely conversations which always help to relax. Brian was professional throughout the session. I love the fact he shoots from slightly low to high angles to lengthen the body. It's a technique I wished more photographers understood. He gave me the room to pose as I please but gave clear direction when necessary. He was very receptive to my feedback and changed details in lighting to make the images better. Over all, I thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with Brian. I highly recommend his work and would love to organise another session with him soon.

What an honour it was to be Brians 100th shoot at Inspire!

Having worked with Brian before I knew we would not only have a lovely catch up but also a great laugh with some gorgeous images at the end and that is exactly what we achieved.

Brian has a great eye for a shot and uses his photgraphic knowldege to bring whatever mood or style required to the image and the end results speak for themselves.

We worked with gel effects to create a moody jazz theme and Gangster mood with superb results.

If you have yet to work with Brian see that you do he has worked with the best and it shows!

Thank you Brian look forward to our next shoot.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Brian at my recent studio day at Neon Dreams Studio, and it was our first time meeting. From the very beginning, I found Brian to be exceptionally chatty, fun, and incredibly easy to get along with.

We embarked on some really fun and colorful projects at the studio, and I'm eagerly anticipating the results of our collaboration. Brian's positive and friendly demeanor made the entire experience an enjoyable and creative one.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future!

Having met Brian through Creativity Hub Events, it was great to finally shoot together in the studio! Pre.comms were great, meaning we could maximise the shoot time and capture some fabulous images. Brian is really friendly and has plenty of ideas for lighting and image setups, and was happy to work towards any concepts I wanted to get too. Chatty and considerate, and creates some great images - I definitely recommend working with Brian!

This was my third shoot with Brian and our first one together on location and it was fabulous!

He met me at a cafe and he had planned a route in his head for our shoot which he had carefully scouted before. Time flew by and we shot in multiple places and even fit in 2 outfits! I was very impressed with his work and I would highly recommend working with him.

Can't wait to see the images! :)

What a fabulous 2 days hosting Brian on our most recent event - Mutiny.

This was Brian’s first time joining us but he fitted into our little creative community straight away! He got on really well with the photographers he was paired up with, all the models loved working with him and he was great company in the social downtime in the evenings :)

From what he has been posting on social media he also got some absolutely incredibleeeee images!!! And his timing for dance shots is bloody perfect haha!

Brian would be more than welcome on another event and we can 100% recommend him!

After following Brians work for a while now, I finally got to shoot with him for 3 hours during my time at Inspire Studios earlier this month.We focused mainly on dance sets, as Brian does with many of the models he works with, but also moved onto some relaxed portraiture/fashion style shots too later on in the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed my time shooting with Brian and would not only recommend him to o other models but would also love to work with him again in the future myself. Thank you Brian!

This was my second time shooting with Brian and what a treat! He attended my 1-2-1 studio day at Inspire Studios and from the get go he was easy to get along with and has such a lovely personality. Time flew by and he is a perfect gentleman. We captured a lot of very diverse and exciting images. Would highly recommend working with him and can't wait for our next shoot in London! :)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Brian not once, but twice during my recent tour to Bournemouth!

Brian attended the event myself & RR Photographic organised (Gyspy Girls) and then we had a 121 beach shoot at Hengistbury Head the following day.

My third time working with Brian overall, and he's just as lovely every time! A true gentleman, very conscious about model comfort and safety. We have lovely chats and our time shooting absolutely flies by.

Brian's photography and editing skills and excellent, his work speaks for itself.

Really excited to be working with Brian again on another event next month!

Completely recommended by me!

I had a fabulous shoot with Brian on my recent studio weekend at Inspire studio :)

We discussed a few ideas prior to our shoot and decided to focus on 70s styling and some edgier fashion, but on the day even managed to squeeze in some dance too!

Brian made me feel completely at ease the moment I walked in the studio as he was super chatty and friendly :)

We went through the outfit choices I had brought with me and worked our way through them at a chilled pace with a good old natter in between. Brian is a great photographer and I’m so happy with what we achieved together!

I’d more than happily recommend Brian to others and hope to work with him again in the future! I also can’t wait to host him on one of my events next month :D

Brian booked two hours on my recent studio day at Inspire Studio.

There had been a last minute cancellation on my second day at Inspire and Brian grabbed that slot super quick which was great as he had previously missed out on a studio day with me due to covid/ bad weather?

Two hours flew by and Brian was super chatty- we did get through a lot of outfits, ideas and genres too though! :)

Thank you Brian, hope we can shoot again in the not too distant future! :)

Great to have had the chance to work again with Brian this time at Raw Pics Studio on the Retro Rob and Melany Tour.

Having been fortunate to have worked with Brian before I knew that we would capture some cracking images and Brian once again delivered .

Brian has a great eye for a shot and that is definately what he bought once again to the table .

I Love what we created and look forward to adding the images to my portfolio and to making some more magic soon with you Brian many thanks .

Thank you Brian for attending a vintage group shoot event I hosted with Retro Rob at Rawpics Studio 😄

I’ve worked with Brian many times and he’s always very professional and fun to work with. It was great to have him there at our group shoot event - contributing ideas and helping the day to run smoothly.

I’ve already since what Brian captured and the shots are amazing!

Many thanks for another fab shoot - highly recommended 👏

I worked with Brian for the first time today at a 1-2-1 session organised by Inspire Studios and it was a true pleasure to work with him.

From the minute he came in he was friendly and raring to go. Time really flew by and I couldn't believe it when our time was up! We got through so many ideas in our short amount of time and from the BOC I was very happy with our results. Can't wait to see the final edited images and I do hope we will work together again very soon :)

I was very pleased to have the lovely Brian book in for one of my introductory tuition sessions at Neon Dreams, recommended by the lovely Ell Mae (Thanks!)

Brian is a wonderful man, chatty, friendly, very respectful and a talented photographer. He picked up all the techniques I showed him easily and we had so much fun creating beautiful photos!

Overall a fantastic shoot, Brian is a joy to be around and I look forward to his return.

Thanks Brian! Highly recommended.

Wow what an amazing day with Brian - shooting in the very photogenic city of Bristol!

It was a real pleasure to shoot day today with Brian and show him around the amazing city of Bristol. I have worked with Brian many times before but we have never done anything like this and surprisingly I’ve never shot on location in Bristol.

The main challenge was shooting in full sun all day but Brian dealt with it brilliantly. He’s very laid back and great company so getting changed on location and having to deal with busy places was easy to do.

We worked through 4 main different looks across 5 locations and Brian directly me brilliantly as always - which I especially needed today because of the strong sun and the shadows it created.

Brian is a fantastic photographer and is willing to always try new things and experiment which I love. He is easy to collaborate with and very considerate to a models needs (thanks for the coffee!)

We didn’t stop talking the whole way round and are already planning another location shoot so watch this space!

All that remains to be said is that Brian comes very highly recommended from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well, I'm still regularly shooting with Brian, so that's a good indicator of how much I enjoy shooting with him! I've lost count of how many it's been now, but each time we have lots of fun and try something new and exciting.

I don't really have anything else to add to what I've already said other than he continues to grow and expand on his already great photography skills and I still wholeheartedly recommend him.

I worked with Brian at Inspire studios on a duo day with @ballerinaelle.

Brian was great to work with. Really easy to get on with and we jump straight in and got fantastic images right off the bat. We started on the white infinity curve and got some great dance shots. We moved to a textured wall and got some amazing moody low key shots. Then we moved upstairs and used some of Inspire's other backdrops.

Brian quick to capture all the dance shots and got the timings right really quickly. We were playing around with shapes and Brian would snap away and catch some fantastic positions. Lots of laughing, we all got on really well. And of course, the images speak for themselves.

I'd love to work with Brian again. Fully recommended.

It was good to meet Brian recently — he attended my Art of Monochrome studio workshop. He is a very talented photographer and a pleasant person to have at the studio. Brian worked very well with our model, his images were excellent and I'd highly recommend him to others!
