Had my second brilliant shoot with Gary. We shot outside on location and also at my house. I loved our shoot, was great to get outside and experiment in a new place and see what we could make of it and I think Gary took some stunning shots. Also took some beautiful images back at my house and some quirky creative shots too. The whole day was genuinely enjoyable and Gary is lovely company and so easy to get on with. Highly recommended as always.

Thanks so much, Zara :D

Gary is hugely creative and has a great eye, I've shot at Thurston Lodge many times but he was seeing thing's in different ways which I'd never even considered before!

Just a really cool guy, great to talk to and I had a laugh!

Thank you :D

I had my second shoot with Gary last month on my Scotland tour.

The half day shoot was great- the weather wasn't so fabulous for us but it didn't stop us and Gary picked an insane location to shoot at-! It was amazing.

Images look fab and I enjoyed the shoot! Really hope to work with Gary again next time I am up in Scotland, thank you :)

I really enjoyed my sixth shoot with Gary at his home, this being our first ever indoor shoot which was different and worked out great. We used some natural light in the living room area and it worked a treat. Gary picked me up at the train station and dropped me off again. He is so organised, has a professional attitude, takes beautiful images, he has fantastic ideas and is lovely to spend your time shooting with. Gary is very respectful and such a nice person.

His communications are always excellent and whilst shooting he is not afraid to give direction. He is more than happy for you to pose freely also.

Again another wonderful shoot and I really look forward to next time. Highly recommended to all.

Thank you Gary. Looking forward to shoot number seven.

I worked with the lovely Gary on my MAMMOTH Scottish tour recently on a studio day run by Candyheart at a local performing arts studio.

It was my first time working with Gary and I was a little nervous but from first meeting he was very professional, kind and very respectful. I really enjoyed working together and the two hours flew by in the blink of an eye! I am really looking forward to seeing the beautiful results!

Thankyou so much Gary for your time and I really hope we get the chance to work together again! Highly recommended to all models and creatives,

Had the pleasure of working with Gary at my house yesterday. Pre comms were great, Gary had lots of ideas which he shared with me, which was great in organising beforehand. On the day we had a lovely shoot, working our way through different styles & experimenting, which I really enjoyed. Gary is great company, easy to talk to, friendly, relaxed, down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable. He is also professional and respectful. I would highly recommend Gary.

Thanks a million, Zara :D

I worked with Gary in Scotland in November 2017 he is a great pleasure to be around. I love working with him and had great pictures for his shoot. I would love to work with him again if I ever make it to Scotland from Southampton again or vice versa .

Gary and I shot together for the second time at my studio day at Synergy in November. As the first shoot his pre-shoot comms were great, everything was sorted with no problem at all. The shoot went very well too, we shot a range of levels from fashion to art nude. He is pleasant company and professional in conduct, I have no problem recommending him to other models and hope we can have shoot #3 when I return to Scotland :)

I had my 5th shoot with Gary today doing a Milady de Winter themed shoot. We had such a laugh and he even let me come up with my own outfit so I made a hat, had some weapon props and a little poison to kill my enemies with and more. Hehe We got some fantastic images.

Gary is always on time, prepared, organised and communications leading up to our shoot and during are always excellent and this time was no different.

I love the ideas Gary comes up with and he is happy for me to get creative also. Highly recommended, do not miss a shoot with this fun, professional and confident photographer. Our shoot flew by and I can't wait till next time.

Thanks again Gary.

I met and worked with Gary for the first time a week or so ago during my Scotland tour :)

Gary was my final shoot of the tour and it was a great way to end it! We had a lovely weather and took some really super images. Loving the results so far and can't wait to see more.

I really hope I can work with Gary again next time I am in Scotland. I really enjoyed the shoot and Gary's company.

Thank you, Gary! :) :)

Gary was a lovely person to work with! He gave me clear ideas of what he wanted to achieve from the day. He took me to a cool location near to leuchers.

He was very friendly, funny and chatty throughout the shoot and open to suggestions. I thought the results were beautiful from what I could see back of camera :)

I would highly recommend garry and would would with him again!

I had a lovely evening shoot with Gary yeaterday during my Scottish tour, it was the second time we had worked together and it was a great shoot!

Gary found a lovely hilltop location amongst the heather and had been great in his pre-comms at giving me suitable ideas for outfits to bring. It was pretty cold/windy once we got to the location but Gary was happy for me to take regular breaks to warm up and showed me the images as we went along which really helped. He's a lovely guy, friendly and I'd happily recommend him to others!

Thanks again,

Scarlot

Gary booked in to shoot with me on my model day at Synergy recently :) We discussed the shoot in advance and he had some really clear ideas of what he was looking to achieve, which is always handy as I can be sure to pack appropriately then! On the day Gary was very friendly to work with, we shot a range from fashion to ballet (with a definite pink theme, as we had previously discussed :) ) to art nude - so a lot of ground covered! The 2 hours went by really quickly and had a really good vibe which is always the best for creating cool images :) I'd gladly work with him again, and would definitely recommend him to other models. Thanks Gary! :)

Gary is just fabulous to work with! This is our 3rd shoot now... Twice I have managed to shoot with him during my tours of Scotland and he always manages to source fantastic locations for us to shoot at. :D This time around he handpicked a gorgeous little woodland reserve with so many backdrop opportunities for the different looks we then proceeded to shoot. What I like about working with Gary is that he is super sharp at keeping an eye out for passers by, I don't always notice when I am wistfully switching between poses but he is amazing and quickly lunges for my coat for me so we can get our sets done undisturbed. The ideas he comes up with to match up with the locations are really inspired; he takes notice when something has worked previously and in the pre-shoot communications will talk about ideas so that we can both visualise and prep on what to bring which makes like so much easier for me when I am on a tour. :) Gary will tackle a range of styles and that means there is never a dull moment... this time we did arty, we did cheeky, we did elegant and of course the flexible shapes/bodyscapes! It's so nice to see a photographer take hold of a challenge with a specific idea coordinated with a specific location. I tell no lies when I say that Gary was down on the floor, in the grass and foliage just as much as I was in order to get the composition looking exceptional. He puts literally so much effort into his work. :)

No end of epic banter as well! :P Always the case when working together and the vibes are always good. If you cannot enjoy a shoot and crack out a good rapport then don't drag yourself through it... I can consistently say that time and time again I have thoroughly enjoyed Gary's company; we chatter loads as we work and review the shots as they happen. Gary is super laid back, nothing is too much trouble and he will do all he can to make sure everyone is happy on the shoot. Super kind and courteous as always: picking me up from places and then dropping me back again after in time for trains etc. a real gem! We're already in discussion about our next fabulous shooting opportunity and I am looking forward to it already! :)

Thanks again Gary!

I had my 4th shoot with Gary in Perth recently doing an outdoor cowgirl/bandit theme. We had a lot of fun playing around with the props and the time flew by so quickly. Gary came up with the theme and was happy with my input into the outfit.

Communication was excellent before and during our shoot and Gary was as positive as ever even though it was raining and a bit cold, we still managed to get some great images.

Fun, outgoing, relaxed and professional, highly recommended.

Looking forward to next time.

I got to shoot with Gary whilst on my recent Scottish tour, in a stunning setting that he made use of in a most wonderful way!

He is a relaxed and fun individual who has a strong way with camera, setting scenes perfectly and all the while keeping me giggling throughout!

I can’t recommend this fabulous photographer to all, he is such a joy to work with :)

I had a shoot today with Gary and it was a pleasure to meet and work with him.

His communication was great pre shoot and he knew what he wanted to achieve which made an easy going and well prepared shoot.

He let me pose with ease but was also confident and happy to give direction when there was an idea that he wanted specifically.

The shoot was relaxed and conversation was flowing through out the shoot. I feel that he did get a lot of good results today using natural light.

Looking forward to a second shoot soon and I highly recommend him to all models weather you are new or experienced
