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!

Today I had my second shoot with the lovely Brian at Inspire Studios! Brian reached out to book a half-day shoot with me in which we were able to play around and got to try some creative ideas including gobos, gels and lots of fun outfits too!

Working together with Brian is a pleasure and I hope to shoot again with him soon😊

I met and shot with Brian for the first time at Fareham Studio a few weeks ago. It was a long time in the making thanks to Covid! but we finally made it happen.

Communication during the shoot was excellent, Brian is super chatty so lots of chat and coffee! We tried a selection of different lighting and sets throughout the few hours.

I can only recommend and I look forward to hopefully working together again in the future.

Much love,

Eve

I am very happy with my second shoot with Brian, it went really great. We had been shooting at Rawpics studio and Brian was just amazing, chatty, in a great mood ,full of the ideas. We spent great time shooting together and used a lot of the probs in the studio. Brian created a nice atmosphere and I really enjoyed our shoot.

Looking forward to shooting with Brian soon

Highly recommended, 100%

What a delightful shoot I had with Brian during my first studio day at Inspire Studios!

Brian was such a lovely person to be around and I felt very at ease the whole time. I felt very creative during the shoot and we flew through a bunch of brill ideas. Brian was more than happy to shoot my first ever images for me on the aerial hoop and I'm so glad I asked him - they've turned out incredible! He's a very skilled photographer and the results from our shoot so far are fantastic.

I'd be delighted to work together again if the opportunity arose.

Thank you!

I had a really enjoyable experience shooting with Brian on my studio weekend at Inspire studios.

Brian was full of ideas and happy to also take on board my ideas too. He was polite and respectful and captured so many amazing images! We captured mostly fashion and portraits but also a few dance poses too.

I would love the chance to work together again in the future and can highly recommend him to everyone! :)

Thank you for shooting with me!

I've lost track of how many shoots I have now had with Brian. Each shoot we have had is always pleasant, and Brian was kind enough to send over some images too after the shoot. We shot at Knowlton Church this time, and unfortunately the weather was very cold, but Brian was very patient and allowed for car breaks to warm up. We have more shoots planned, so of course I am still happy to recommend him.

My first shoot today with Brian at my Studio Event at RawPics! Brian is super friendly and chatty which is super helpful in building a good friendship before and during the shoot!

Brian and I shot some amazing editorial fashion shots in the studio as well as some amazing shots with the new piano at RawPics. Brian very quickly after the shoot sent me a dropbox link to view all the images (unedited and a few edited) and I am super pleased with how they turned out. So a super speedy turnaround and no long waits to see the images!

I highly recommend Brian, and we are already discussing our next shoot hopefully on location when the weather brightens up. Thank you again Brian for a lovely shoot😊

Retro Rob

Absolutely love working with Brian and what a bonus it was today to meet up again to continue the further adventures of Retro Rob at Fareham Studios.

Having worked with Brian previously on duo shoots today the recipe was to create something different and the images speak for themselves!

Brian has an amazing eye for detail and getting that killer shot the time flew by once again and I can't wait see the images and book our next shoot thank you so much Brian.

I shot with Brian again recently on my studio day at inspire and we created some amazing images!

Pre comms were great & we discussed certain styles we was going to get through prior to the shoot day.

Brian always brings joy to your day and is always so organised and professional throughout the shoot.

Conversation flowed & the shoot went so quick which is always a good sign! Brian will always be respectful towards the model and the studio he’s working in.

Brian tried out some new hand held lights he had bought which was good fun and the images stood out straight away. Really happy with what we achieved and highly recommended! :) until next time..

I met Brian for the first time last year so i was delighted when he booked on a creative beauty day that i was hosting with MUA Alisha Jane.

Brian had clear ideas and sent a moodboard over of what he wished to create on the day and the ideas were fab! We loved creating and shooting them. Brian is a very lovely, down to earth gent and a joy to work with. He produces stunning images and i love the edits he has done so far. He comes very highly recommended by us and i hope to have the pleasure of working with him more in the future.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot :-)

I've had two shoots with Brian recently (three overall) - first at Inspire Studios followed by Fareham Studio and Sanctum. Brian is very laid-back, chatty and welcoming; shooting with him is always a pleasure and we have produced a wide range of beautiful images in a variety of styles. Most recently at Sanctum, Brian brought along some new lighting and experimented with colour which led to some stunning results! He has a good eye for composition and detail but is also happy to take on my ideas. It's always lovely to work with some who appreciates your input and Brian certainly does. I'd be happy to recommend him to others and look forward to our next shoot.

I worked with the lovely Brian during a Studio day at Inspire studios in December where he booked 2hrs.

Brian is such a wonderful person, he really easy to talk to and always stays respectful and polite. Brian was really creative during our shoot and we bounced off each others ideas a lot which meant we had a really enjoyable and fun time, creating some amazing images too!

Highly recommended and I hope I get to work with Brian again in the future :)

I worked with Brian at my studio day at Inspire Studios LTD in Salisbury.

Brian was an absolute joy to work with! He's very chatty, friendly, and instantly puts you at ease!

He was very open to hearing my ideas and trying new things which I really appreciated. Brian also showed me the back of the camera images throughout the time we were shooting which was great, it enabled me to see if we needed to change any angle/styling/lighting etc.

I love the images myself and Brian created and I really can't wait to work with him again :-)

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Brian at Inspire Studio yesterday. We discussed a few different ideas beforehand and Brian was warm and chatty from the moment he arrived. We shot a variety of images on the beautiful sets at Inspire, with plenty of time for tea and chatter, and we're already discussing out next booking. I look forward to shooting with him again soon and happily recommend him to others.

Brian is an absolute pleasure to work with. I very much look forward to my studio days when I see he has booked in. Yesterday I got the pleasure of working with him for 4hrs at Inspire Studio on a studio day. Time flew by but we got some incredible shots which im very excited to view.

Brian is extremely considerate, kind and patient, I always feel in very safe hands when working together.

I look forward to working with you again soon!

All the best,

I had an amazing shoot with Brian at Inspire studios today. I am really happy with our shoot, Brian had nice ideas, he built the mood board and I think we tried our best to implement them. I noticed that the photos are great straight of the camera. Brian is really easy-going photographer to come along with, he shoots without any rush, so he created a great atmosphere today. I wouldn't be happier with our shoot, looking forward to shoot with Brian again

Highly recommended to shoot with,100%
