Ecce!

Colin booked for a day at Fine and Dandee studio. Colin was an absolute pleasure to work with - it was a very relaxed shooting environment which nevertheless produced some great looking images. Colin's pre-comms were clear and he was a lovely person to work with, very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Colin and would love to work with him again.

Had a second shoot with Colin and really enjoyed it. He is a friendly and professional photographer and he's really creative - we tried ideas I have never done before. Very highly recommended.

Yesterday was my second time working with Colin. He booked the first two hours of my studio day at Fine and Dandee. Today was different then the last and I enjoyed getting to see another creative side of Colin.

He decided to wing it and come up with ideas upon arrival and was I impressed. He started arranging and rearranging furniture, objects and the background, paying attention to every detail and moving things to his taste. It was creative and layed back, just my style. We had a lovely time together and I can't wait for the next.

I would definitely recommend Colin :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND...Had my second shoot with Colin and really got to know him as a person...he is very caring, very professional and a super chilled out guy. Colin had this really beautiful jumper for me to model in and I didn't want to give it back so he said I could have it (what a gentleman).

Most of all thank you so much for a lovely shoot Colin.

I had the pleasure of working with Colin the other day. He had lots of interesting and unique ideas that were fun to create. I started to fall sick on the day we were working together and he was very nice and patient if I needed a break.

I highly recommend Colin, looking forward to our next project.

Had a great shoot with Colin, was pretty new to me shooting projections but Colin was fab at directing and very easy to work with. Got some great work done and would highly recommend working with him :-)

I worked with Colin for the first time on an early morning shoot. We did a mixture of locations; some indoors and some outdoors. Colin's pre-shoot comms were great and he made sure I was comfortable at all times; even making me breakfast as well as kindly dropping me off into Reading afterwards and giving me a mini tour! He was very easy to get along with and had some great ideas. I felt comfortable working with him and the shoot was enjoyable. I highly recommend him to other models and hope to work with him again :)

I drove to Colins' place for the early morning light, and to do some awesome artistic nudes in the forest with a new piece of funky gadgetry that Colin had procured - it was a brilliant idea, and so fun to see the outcome! So the fellow himself is a wonderful individual, kind, chatty, and great at direction, he looked after me with my sniffles with a hot chocolate and was extremely respectful. And he's funny! A good ol' laugh.

I would highly recommend Colin, he's a lovely fellow. Hope to work with him again soon!

I had a great shoot with Colin. I was really impressed that he took the time to greet me outside the studio on my arrival in Japanese. I was won over from that moment and everything from then on was excellent. His use of multiple projections made for outstanding, layered, interesting concepts which will turn into awesome photographs. His attention to detail is extremely professional and this motivated me to try my best to produce my best work. His constant encouragement was also inspiring. I really enjoyed the shoot and cannot wait to see the results. Needless to say I really hope to work with him again.

Brilliant day. Thank you Colin!

I really loved working with Colin!

Colin is a really great guy and his projection project is absolutely brilliant, I'm so chuffed to be a part of it.

Colin has a wonderfully organised way of working (which I love) and pre-shoot communications were awesome too - so I knew exactly what to expect from the shoot, which is so helpful. He is kind, considerate and a really interesting to talk to. The shoot just flew by!

Highly recommended!!

I worked with Colin and his lovely partner Grace the other day at Wokingham Studios and had such a great time! Myself and Colin had worked together before- It was lovely to work with Grace, a female photographer also, it was a lovely change to the norm! :)

We experimented with a mixture of lightng techniques on the projector and had such a blast! They are such a lovely couple and Colin is a gentleman to work with, never over working the model (in fact often underworking the model :P ) and always making sure the model is warm and comfortable, a true gentleman. Grace was great fun, very polite and professional but with a lovely sense of fun and laughter! Highly recommended and I really hope we work together again soon! Helen x

What else to say???!!! As ever the last couple of shoots with Colin have been interesting and huge amounts of fun...and staying still in a studio for projection work has been a challenge that took a bit of getting used to for a fidget like me..And Colin also makes a cracking model too ;)

Thanks yet again for some awesome shoots and can't wait to see the full story!!!!! :)

I had my second shoot with Colin today visiting a filthy cottage rather than a flooded mortuary...:) All the nicest places!! But the results both with projection and using the really sensational light we had, often at the drop of a hat are really beautiful! As always Colin is just an absolute joy to work with, full of ideas and super adaptable to the light and my quirky ways of shooting, and I'd recommend Colin in a heartbeat :)

Thank you so much for an incredible shoot and afternoon!!

I was very intrigued to work with Colin as I had a feeling he was highly creative soul. I was absolutely right as not only is he creative, but he is also a perfectionist. Each image is created with care and attention to detail. You really feel like you are creating a piece of ART with this man. He's a gentleman and highly respectful of a models personal space, he engages you with the process and collaborates wonderfully. He has absolutely impeccable manners, and is highly considerate of a models needs and reminds you to relax between shots. Colin is very easy to work with and the whole shoot had a very relaxed and free flowing pace to the shoot. Everything is explained fully to you, so you can be prepared to give him exactly what is needed for each sequence and shot, clarity is key with a session with him, and that makes a shoot highly enjoyable. I throughly recommend Colin, you'll find him a very interesting and kind man to work with, and his images show the precision and attention to detail that make him a very experienced Photographer.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot ... can't wait for the next one. :-)

I had another wonderful shoot with Colin. Colin is an absolute gem to work with! Pre communications was impeccable, he is professional, friendly, easy going and a very nice to be around. He also, kept me fed and watered.

Whist shooting, Colin had great ideas but also allowed me to have an input in to the shoot. We managed to produce some awesome images and I look forward to seeing the results.

Thank you so much for a fabulous day and I do hope we are able to work together again in the future. Highly recommended.

I shot with Colin earlier in the week and we chose the mortuary for our venture..:) Despite being Colin's first real venture into a derelict site with a model, he coped brilliantly with my madness and managed to light the ideas in my head beautifully, as well as making awesome use of the light! An absolute pleasure to shoot with and can't recommend enough...

Had a really wonderful shoot with Colin a few months ago! He is an incredible attentive photographer who pays fantastic attention to detail in order to create the most perfect images! He is very well organised and arrives with lots of really cool gear and knows exactly what he wants and how to achieve it!

I don't usually see many people working with projections and what Colin does with his I would say is very unique and innovative, it makes for really interesting and beautiful photographers but makes the shoot very different and fun to participate it!

Colin is also a very professional and lovely individual, I felt totally comfortable working with him and would highly recommend him!
