I had a fantastic full day shoot with Brian at Sandon Studio. Brian was really helpful with his pre-shoot comms, and was really friendly and charming from the very start. He had some wonderfully creative ideas and communicated well with me to get the best possible images. His sweet and relaxed nature, made me feel really relaxed throughout the shoot and I can't believe how quickly the time went. Brian is a really hard working guy, making a supreme effort to get the best shots. Brian has a history of working in photography and understands what makes an interesting and unique image, as well as how to get the best out of his subject.

I would definitely hope to work with Brian again. Highly recommended to creatives alike.

Thank you so much,

It felt like we had been planning this shoot forever!!

I shot with Brian on my recent tour where we had quite an adventure! :) What a lovely chap he is, professional, kind, considerate and with a passion for his photography.

We worked through different sets with props both nude and clothed and he even brought a Kite for me to play with too!!!!!!! - a first for me on a shoot!!!!

Brian has a brilliant sense of humour and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. The images look fab too! I sincerely hope that we get the opportunity to work together again in the future. Definitely recommended :D

What can I say about Brian. His communication on the leas up to our shoot was excellent. He always replied in a fast and courtesy fashion.

On the day he was at the studio waiting for me and was very professional, patient and he clearly is a a very talented photographer.

To work with he is a dream, directing me and full of ideas for poses and scenes.

Overall I would recommend Brian 100 percent to anyone.

I look forward to seeing the finished results and I hope to work with Brian again in the future.

An absolute pleasure!!!

I got the opportunity to do a location shoot with Brian today and honestly don't know where to start it was such a great day! His communications running up to the shoot were great and he was fully prepared to re-schedule due to an injury of mine but thankfully I was good to go in time for the shoot and we managed to go ahead!

Brian arrived early to pick me and my "chaperone" (bag carrier/look out) up. I think this was the first time I've been actively encouraged to bring someone along with me and it really did help things flow smoothly (the extra pair of hands and eyes was quite useful)! I directed Brian to a location I knew of and we all had such a great time shooting. The day was full of laughter and I was made to feel comfortable and at ease throughout. Brian was happy to pause or adapt shooting when other walkers passed by so as not to make me uncomfortable and Brian was so easy to get along with and the time just flew by! I had such a great time that we even stopped for a "pint" of tea on the way home!

I have already seen some of the images from today and think we managed to create some beautiful work together! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brian at all - he's great!

Thank you again,

I had my second shoot with Brian on Sunday, after the success of our first shoot Brian booked me for a home shoot.

Pre shoot comms were brill as always : )

Brian arrived in time and with plenty of lighting equipment, which was handy as it was a dull day.

Brian was as lovely as ever, very thoughtful and considerate.

I was extremely pleased with the pictures we achieved and hope to shoot a third time : )

All the best,

I had my first shoot with Brian today ( Tuesday 10th May) i had done the shoot at ' Millwood Photography studio in Manchester.

He is a top guy, he is an amazing photographer and he is very good at catching movement images. I was smiling the whole way through the shoot.

He keeps you up to date with the images that he takes and at every point he makes sure that your comfortable by asking you!

I had a very enjoyable shoot today woth Brian and may i say the 3 hours went very quick, we were both getting images that we both really liked.

He is a really lovely guy but on top he works professional and he knows alot about photography. He has amazing communication skills also,

I would recommend him to any model.

I would for sure work with him again. Thanks :)

Had a Studio shoot at Millwood, and I am fairly new with Studio lighting.

Brian had just finished his shoot, but he stayed and did help me with his advice and knowledge.

He is very passionate about his photography and very keen to help others.

It has been my pleasure to meet him, and I do hope to learn from him more.

I had my first shoot with Brian today at Millwood studios, pre shoot comms were great and I knew what to expect when arriving to shoot.

I had some difficultly on the way to the shoot which actually involved me crashing my car!

And I can honestly say you will not meet a kinder more caring man than Brian! What a star he was, a coffee and a shoulder to cry on and I was soon back laughing and smiling!

What a lovely man!

We created some beautiful images and brain clearly has a flare for photography,

Me and Brian have discussed future shoots and he's welcome at mine for a home shoot at any time,

Hope you keep well Brian! Your a star X

Had the pleasure of working with Brian today and can say the experience was great. He's charming, friendly and funny. His ideas and shots are amazing. As a professional model I have worked with a lot of superb photographers and would put Brian among the best. A thoroughly genuine guy. Look forward to shooting again with him.

Brian attended a studio day I was working with at Millwood House. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him from start to finish. Brian was very professional with a good sense of humour to boot and the images I've seen so far are cracking. I hope to see him again in the future! Thanks, Brian! SRx
