I had my second shoot with Jon today and what a pleasure it was

Jon’s pre communications are always informative and give a clear idea of what we were aiming for on the day

Jon made me feel at ease and super confident in myself

Was a fab shoot and I had great fun!

Would love to shoot with Jon again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone!

This is the 2nd shoot with Jon and even though I know he’s brilliant in every way, it’s still a pleasant surprise!

Jon’s pre comms are great, always polite, thorough, friendly and informative.

On the day, Jon was prompt, respectful, collaborative and just simply ace!

I’ve said it before but Jon is humble - too humble often - and is a total gent when it comes to the BTS stuff, and ever so patient with me too.

All of the above makes shooting with my friend Jon a total pleasure and one I hope to repeat 🙂

Thanks Jon, once again, for being great to be around and an inspirational talent too!

I worked with John for the first time in Gloucester prison on Sunday and I am so so glad that I did.

Not only were pre coms great, but he is a true gentleman and ensured that my comfort and privacy were always a priority. We shared a few images we’d like to achieve beforehand and when it came to the shoot itself, he was more than open to ideas and challenges and was determined to find a way to create some absolutely stunning images. His ability to work with natural light and use it to really accentuate the focus of the image is fantastic. He knows his camera like the back of his hand and continued to tweak and change settings until we were both happy with the images we created. I look forward to working with him again soon!

I had a fabulous shoot with Jon today. Pre coms and mood boards really helped me have an understanding of what Jon wanted from our shoot.

I throughly enjoyed working with Jon, he was kind, respectful and we really had fun.. time just fly by.

Jon is a great photographer and takes time to make sure the image, detail , light ( natural ) and angles are really working. I really like that.

Thanks again for a great shoot. I look forward to working with Jon again.

I had my first shoot with Jon today and I was so impressed!

He was kind and caring from the get go, pre communication was superb and informative. Was more than happy to help me with direction and parking (I’m prone to getting lost 🤣)

Jon’s technique with taking photos worked really well for us. Rather than non stop clicking Jon really focused on the photo to ensure it was perfect! And the results showed!

Thankyou so much Jon, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I hope we can work together again soon to create more incredible images 🤩

100% recommended

Jon is frankly one of the nicest, most honourable and caring people I've ever had the luck to meet.

To have met him as a photographer makes him even more incredible. He's funny, thoughtful, has good ideas about what works in terms of shoots and photographs, and is so respectful.

His style of photography is careful and considerate rather than rapid-fire clicking, which us right up my street.

Jon communicated lots with me before our session, and we had an instant rapport and synergy.

Because of this, we were able to produce some amazing images.

I'd recommend him highly, and can't wait to have an opportunity to work with him again.

He was also exceptionally forgiving of my awful tea-making abilities, and seemed not to notice that I find the concept of left and right confusing 😉

Jon and I shot very briefly last weekend as unfortunately we were rained off and had to postpone our shoot. We met bright (or rather dull) and early to get started and to our dismay, only about half an hour in we noticed a bit of drizzle which quickly progressed into rather heavy rain!

We were very well organised following pre-comm arrangements and I arrived with all of the outfits that we planned on shooting. Jon was really helpful with the shoot preparation, giving his thoughts and letting me know the sort of styles he wanted to capture via a moodboard.

I was highly disappointed that we had to postpone the shoot. I really enjoyed my first shoot with Jon and was really looking forward to working with him again. Not only that but we had started to get into a bit of a rhythm so it was even more frustrating that we couldn't carry on shooting.

I hope that we can reorganise our shoot soon, and fingers crossed for better weather.

I highly recommend working with Jon; he has a great sense of humour and is very kind and attentive. He also produced some fabulous images despite the tricky conditions we were working in.

Thanks for a fun (but brief) shoot Jon! Let's reorganise soon :)

The longest organised shoot came to fruition last weekend at Gloucester prison having plans to shoot with Jon for around 6 months and weather not being on our side whenever we’d tried! And it was so worth the wait!

Jon is an absolute breath of fresh air. Respectful, honest, a bit-too-self-berating, talented and an all round total legend to work with and get to know.

Jon isn’t your fast click kind of guy, the shots are carefully composed, taken well, and he judges shoots on quality not quantity. Totally how I like to work too, so it make for a very aligned 4 hours. Aside from the back of the camera making my heart sing, Jon is just a really lovely person to spend time with. We are talking about our next shoots already, and with Jon’s creativity and talent, I know whatever those shoots are they’ll be epic.

Thank you Jon for the opportunity to work with you, I’m honoured.

Models - get Jon in your diary!

Yep! Me here again to leave another glowing reference for Jon!! That’s our third shoot in the bag!!

This time Jon came to me. He arrived on time with a lovely case full off clothing for me to rummage through. I love finding new things to shoot in!! We had a brew while I looked through, picking out things that caught my eye, and then I added bits of mine to create a look with each thing I picked. It was so much fun!! We covered lots of different styles, working with the natural light in different areas of the house. I mean wow, Jon is just fab!! As we shot and he was showing me the boc, I was all excited at the beautiful images he was capturing. Time just disappeared before us as we flowed through the sets. We finished up in the shower, again producing some stunning images.

I love working with Jon! I’m sure I’ve said it before, but he’s not only a great photographer but a real gentleman. He is full of knowledge; we just chat and shoot and bounce ideas off each other and just have the best time! He’s a good soul!

I really look forward to shooting with you again soon. And thank you for another fantastic shoot!

Very highly recommended from me

Today was only my second shoot with John, but I feel like I’ve known him for longer than that.

This time we shot at a WW2 camp which was soo much fun!! John had a few outfits and I bought a few along too and off we went on a little adventure creating images and having a good laugh along the way. We shot in a few locations around the site, incorporating the scenes around. When we first arrived I had spotted an old bath that was screaming for me to jump into. So we put that out for some art nude, and then later filled it with water in the middle of a grass field and shot some stunning images with water.

John is ace!! I absolutely love shooting with him. We just roll with whatever we find and it’s always so much fun. John is a great photographer and a great guy. We already have another shoot booked in very soon and I can’t wait to get creative with him again.

Thank you John for another fabulous shoot!

Had a fantastic shoot with Jon today!

He has some wonderful ideas to work with and we produced some amazing images.

Jon was very professional, fun, friendly, and instantly made me feel comfortable. Jon listened to all of my ideas and gave me direction really well.

We achieved some really great shots!

I look forward to working with Jon again in the future!

Thank you for a great shoot

Today I had my first shoot with Jon and it was absolutely fantastic!!

I applied for Jon’s casting to shoot at Gloucester Prison. Pre comms were spot on!! Jon shared a mood board of ideas and I put together a selection of outfits that I thought would work, and I must say, we absolutely smashed it!!

Jon is a great photographer. We instantly got along and the whole shoot was fun and full of creativeness. Jon used the natural light beautifully and I was so pleased with what we shot. Each time we looked at the boc, I was skipping with excitement!

Jon is a great guy, professional and friendly, we had such a great shoot! I’m literally buzzing from today!

Thank you Jon for such a brilliant day

Very highly recommended from me

The second visit by Jon Taylor and a welcome one, it was a tough battle with this sudden incredible heat. It hit 30°c and both model and photographer took regular breaks and worked hard. Really looking forward to seeing your images and your future shoot dates at our studio!

Urban.Witch

Well, what a lovely shoot!

Jon is a great photographer and wonderful company. I felt completely comfortable and fully respected at all times. Pre-comms were brilliant, very thorough, and I do believe we had a lot of fun together playing with different ideas many fairly experimental which I was very happy to do.

Would reccomend highly.

Today we had a great studio day with model and photographer. Lots of ideas were bounced around and though it was a first meeting between the two, they geled really well. It would be a pleasure if they both returned.

I had my first shoot with Jonathan Wednesday last week. Pre coms were on point. The shoot itself was a pleasure we bounced ideas off each other easily and we captured some brilliant images.

Edits were quick and beautifully done.

I highly recommend Jonathan and I’m looking forward to working with him again.

Had another incredible shoot with Jon yesterday at Gloucester Prison - I’d stepped in last minute and he was very grateful.

I love working with Jon - he’s easygoing, respectful, patient and professional but also very chatty so the hours fly by!

I met him at the station and he drove us to the location, was prepared with outfits and Kit Kat’s! We did four hours of shooting, he was very happy to show me the back of the camera and we went through and deleted some which didn’t work and discussed the others. Jon is happy to let me come up with ideas on a shoot as well as directing models, he wouldn’t ask me to do anything he wouldn’t do himself so I know I’m in safe hands!

I would 1000% recommend Jon for a shoot, he’s even put some of the images up already! I can’t wait for our next shoot in a couple of weeks time. Thank you so much!

Georgie Kerssenbrock

Jon was an absolute joy to work with. Made me feel extremely comfortable, allowing for a very relaxed shoot. His creativity and enthusiasm made the locations and images we shot even more exciting! I loved that he let me view the images and give feedback/ask to reshoot if necessary, and the whole shoot felt very collaborative. I would definitely recommend Jon, and would love to work with him again. :)

I met with Jon yesterday for our second shoot at Gloucester Prison. Jon created a mood board of interesting ideas prior to shoot which I found extremely helpful. Jon is always very organised and dedicated and even more so on this occasion bringing the whole house contents of props and outfits. Jon is very easy going, open to new suggestions and has an eye for detail. Thank you for yet another great shoot! Looking forward to our many more in the not so distant future.

Another fantastic shoot in a unique venue Gloucester prison. Jon kindly arranged the shoot with the organiser and all I had to do was turn up.... Perfect!

It was helpful that Jon had done many shoots here before and knew the layout out pretty well. Jon came prepared with snacks,which was a really nice touch. Jon was organised as ever with the correct camera equipment/lighting setup, we created some pretty wonderful shots. Highly recommend as always, thank you Jon for making my first experience here an awesome one.
