Clayton is one of my favourite people to work with, ever.

I've enjoyed producing a variety of work with him, and our latest session was no exception- it's always a pleasure.

A genuine creative... calm and reflective and exploratory ...the absolute opposite to the ego-fuelled, pushy type- it is so relaxing to work with him, it feels very natural......

Absolutely recommended by me...

Clayton applied very very enthusiastically for a casting I put up. He was enthusiastic, creative and interesting and I was sold from the first sentence. We planned our epic shoot and his pre comms were great. He was swift and efficient and arrived early. We got on immediately - he's just one of those people you can't help but like lots and lots.

Our shoot was great - we really wanted to produce something different and Clayton knocked it out the park. He was fabulous and the images are just great. He listened to what I was wanting and took so much care to produce exactly that.

Our shoot was so much fun - needless to say he was a gentleman throughout.

I recommend Clayton without reservation, He is fabulous to work with and I hope that I get the chance to do so again.

Thank you Clayton, come again soon

Clayton was wonderful to work with. We arranged a shoot together while I was on holiday to the Isle of Wight. Clayton suggested a sunset or sunrise so we went with the latter since I had never done one. The themes were set and we did what we could with what we had. The weather wasn't that great however Clayton was very accomodating and brought us some coffee. The photos have come out really great and I hope to work with him again soon. Definitely recommended. :)

Another wonderful shoot with Clayton the other day, Clayton is easy to talk to, friendly and a great photographer. The shoot was to try out ideas of his and despite the fact I was feeling poorly, Clayton still made the shoot enjoyable and I can't wait to see the results.

Would love to work with Clayton again.

Highly recommended

I shot with Clayton the other day during a lighting workshop and found that he was great fun to work with, always full of good ideas and very easy to talk to during shooting, Clayton made me feel at ease and was highly professional.

And with some excellent image results that came out from the shoot!

Highly recommended and I will definitely be working with Clayton again.

I am writing this reference as I sail away from the lovely Isle of White on the red funnel ferry, I simply could not wait to get home to gush about how amazing Clayton really is.

After months of communication the time finally came for me to make the epic journey down from the North West to shoot with Clayton.

In the run up to the shoot we were in constant communication and Clayton was very understanding even when a family trauma threatened to stop my travelling plans.

Clayton sent me plenty of ideas pre shoot, even sending sketches over and provided plenty of inspiration before I had even left home.

Clayton and his lovely wife were so kind and accommodating, I was treated so kindly, well fed and had a lovely comfy bed to sleep in, oh and did I mention they have 2 of the most adorable dogs ever, Im now part of the pack!

We managed to shoot in 3 totally different and equally stunning locations, we hiked, we climbed, we crossed small streams and clambered over rocky coastlines.

Clayton is a amazing photographer and was more than willing to incorporate my ideas also into each shoot, we made the most of every minute and got a lot more than we originally planned.

Clayton provided plenty of outfits on top o what I bought along so there was always tons of choice, he gave great direction and was a pleasure to work with.

One of my favourite shoots to date, the time passed all too quickly and I can't wait to return xxxx

I always look forward to my days with Clayton :)

I know they will be super creative, be packed with lots of cool ideas and far from the ordinary, which when you spend the majority of your career doing the same themes on a white background it really is a god send to have lots of crazy themes thrown at you :D

I'm always looked after extremely well too! And when my allergies inevitably kick in he always makes sure to give me plenty of breaks (must remember to take my tablets before arriving next time haha :P)

A super day as always and can't wait til next time!

Highly recommended by me :)

I had my second shoot with Clayton Thursday.

At Albert cottage hotel, the shoot was booked for 1 half hours. Although I'm sure we could have easily been there all day if we could. Clayton again was a pleasure to work with. And so very creative. We made some amazing images! I would highly reccomend to anyone and look forward to working with him in the future.

Thank you Clayton

Hours. I had a great time, and he is very easy to work with, with great creativity.

Oh my gosh! Such a belated reference for this amazing, talented photographer! :)

It was my first trip to the Island (can you believe it, my first trip to the Isle of Wight!) and I had SUCH an enjoyable few days! Clayton was very kind to meet me at the Ferry and kindly drove me to my shoots and hosted me at his lovely home during my stay. His family and dogs were so lovely and it felt like a home from home!

Shooting with Clayton was so lovely after a few years apart- we shot a real mixture of outdoor location on the beach and indoors with Claytons really clever ideas, creating underwater effects in the images- of which I have been sworn to secrecy! :) Clayton was very kind when I was feeling a bit poorly and made sure I was warm and comfortable on location. He is a very kind, considerate and resepctful person and a joy to work with and natter to!

I really hope to work together again and make a second trip back to the Island soon! Thankyou for such a lovely memorable few days, Highly recommended, Helen x

I had a brill 2 hour shoot with Clayton very recently at Studio 2 in Ryde. Clayton is a lovely character! He is full of ideas, and was very considerate knowing that I wasn't feeling well. He was super creative, with lots of energy and very chatty. The 2 hours flew by, but I am happy I finally got to meet and work with Clayton. Super versitialle, focused and easy going. I would jump at the second chance to shoot with Clayton! Thank you so much :)

I had a great shoot with Clayton at Solo 2 on the Isle Of Wight. He booked a couple of hours on my studio day and it was very productive time. We got through a variety of styles and Clayton is such a lovely person, great to talk to and fantastic to work with. He's a very careful and creative professional photographer. I have nothing but respect for Clayton and definitely recommend him to others. I would be delighted to work with him again in the future.

Thanks Clayton :)

Got to work with clayton on a full day shoot at the art asylum.

Claytons communtication leading up to the shoot was brilliant.

During the shoot claytons pace was very laid back but still kept up a consistent pace ensuring we got through everything needed.

A bright and confident artist with brilliant direction and drive.

I look forward to futher working with clayton.
