Another wonderful shoot! I love John's studio set up and we always shoot lots of different themes! We added a touch of glamour, and I'm really please with the results! I love shooting with such a talent! I traveled from GY and was picked up from Ipswich station and dropped off at the end. John makes a mean sandwich, and gives great direction from behind the camera! I jump at the opportunity to work with him whenever I can! Watch out for some setter images from this photographer!

John messaged me and asked me if I wanted a shoot with him. I felt so proveledged that he chose me as I had seen many other models work with him and I was in ore.how John has set out his studio is fantastic. Different themes.interchangeable and best of all...THE GLITTER BOX!!! woop woop. John's a gent. He makes sure you are catered for. He put me in my paces and taught me some fantastic points on how to do modeling. His taste of music.... fantastic. It was like he was playing my.mp3 play list. My pictures came out beautifully. He made me look pretty. Was so flattering I loved them. I hope I get to work with John again. My head is swimming full of ideas I have for our next shoot.

Thank you John for setting up the studio so beautifully, it worked perfectly with the shoot. John was a gracious host even though was not feeling 100%

I would love to use his studio again as it has so many dimensions and effects.

Sorry about the Glitter xx

Another amazing shoot in Chappers' studio again. We had told him the theme of the shoot in advance and he set it up perfectly with maticulous attention to detail. I can't thank or praise him enough....or apologise profusely enough for abusing his hospitality and covering his studio in glitter. Love ya John, look forward to seeing you again soon, and really sorry about the glitter. Next time I am thinking cake smash, paint, and smoke grenades ;) :p

Having worked with Chappers before and loved the resulting images, I had no choice but to ask him to help me work on images for my portfolio. And I'm glad I did.

As before he was professional at all times, leaving me to do my thing whilst giving direction when necessary. It was amazing how many of our ideas we managed to get through in one evening, some only needing a handful of images to be taken before we both agreed 'thats the shot!'.

An absolute pleasure to work with and the images taken were fantastic, I am sure I will be back. Plus his wife is an exceptional cook!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Chappers on New Year's Day. We have been friends on Facebook for a while, but never had the pleasure of shooting together. John hosted a shoot that my wife and I arranged with another model in his homemade studio, and boy, what an experience. He was a perfect host and a lot of fun to work with. I can't thank him enough and can't wait to work with him again. His studio is superbly thought out and we managed to capture some amazing shots. Thank you so much for having us John, look forward to doing it again soon.

Thank you Chappers for an awesome day. Great Studio, Great Host and Great Hospitality. John was really helpful, setting lighting, and making the day really enjoyable. We had a very relaxing shoot, and there is a surprise behind the mirror.

John made our model feel very welcome and made us all feel at home.

Thank You John I am sure we will be back :)

I had the so much fun at your studio!

We've been trying to organize a shoot previously, and I finally had the please to come to his home studio with two other photographers and work with him for a short while. He is great company, and made me feel very comfortable. Had a full changing room with a vanity for me to get ready in.

He was a fun to be around and very helpful. I can't wait to work with him again soon.

Thank you for hosting, and snapping a few pictures. :)

What an experience I had with V I Photography. Working with John was such a pleasure. I done two stunning beauty editorial looks for client Kerrii. The shoot went brilliantly. I highly recommend you work with John. Very professional and so much passion in his work. I look forward to seeing the shots and working with John again.

My second time time working with John and it was just as enjoyable as the first if not more!

This time it was a duo shoot with Dana cressida and I know john was a little nervous on the run up to the shoot although when it come to the day he was amazing! Professional , accommodating and knows exactly the shots he wants.

Not to mention his studio is amazing something he worked very hard on and completely designed himself. John knows how to make a model feel comfortable and his pre communications are on point. A fantastic photographer who knows the business and WILL improve and add to any models portfolio!

I look forward to working with John again he is easily one of my most favourite photographers to work with and the end results are just awesome! He has great idea's and an exquisite eye for detail.

I recommend this amazing talent to all models, designer's, MUA and hair stylists.

Thank you John! Until next Time :)

Dana Cressida

I was so excited when John asked if I wanted to work with him alongside Jade. The evening was as fun and productive as expected!

John is a great photographer who is very kind and considerate. He made sure that me and Jade were comfortable and relaxed throughout the evening.

I can't wait to see the final images I know they are going to look fabulous!

Thanks again John!

Dana :)

I had a shoot with John yesterday at his home studio. We had been planning a shoot for a long time and I had seen his back drops and the infamous glitter box in which I was eager to get to work with! John is very welcoming and easy to talk to, and is a coffee lover which is a bonus ha ha!

His photos are beautiful, he spends time on getting the right images rather than just snapping away.

He is a fab photographer both studio and wildlife.

Very happy to have finally worked with him and looking forward to doing the same again soon.

Thumbs up!

Last night I had the fantastic privilege of being the model for John's very first workshop! I stepped in last minute as the original model was unable to attend, and I'm so glad he chose me for this important job! I was a little worried before hand as it was something I've never done before. Whilst I've attended group shoots it was a totally different experience, so I was a bit worried I wouldn't be good enough due to lack of experience in that area. However, I now see I had nothing to worry about at all!

I visited John's home studio briefly the night before to discuss exactly what he wanted and expected of me and as soon as we met communications were great, he made me feel really at ease and he was quite happy to let me take full control over which outfits I wanted to wear and how I wanted to do my make up. The first session was make up and after having said I felt pretty confident doing my own make up when John asked, I then realized he was most likely now hoping for MUA standard - something I'm definitely not! However, I surprised both myself and John with my first attempt and this is what we shot. I say we, but for once John's camera was not round his neck as he was running the show not taking part!

He consistently made sure I was comfortable and doing okay throughout the work shop and gave me lots of direction when I got stuck on what pose to do next. Unfortunately, the workshop went on quite a bit later than expected so the two of us were unable to get any shots but I would definitely recommend him anyway and I know he will be getting another glowing reference from me when we do eventually shoot together!

His home studio is fab and his wife Claire is a gem - she made sure there was a delicious big slice of chocolate cake left for me after the workshop! :D I would highly recommend John to other photographers and all models! Thank you again John, I learnt so much last night and it has certainly been a milestone in my modelling journey!

Had a shoot with John at his home studio on Wednesday. I was quickly made comfortable with a bacon sandwich made by his delightful wife and a glass of prosecco which was delightful and instantly it felt very homely.

John is a very professional upbeat bubbly character who's full to the brim with ideas and always happy to take advice direction and creativity from models.

He's the best photographer I have worked with to date, he's knowledgable but also keen to adapt and learn.

His studio set up was very comfortable and worked so well with so many different concepts and props to help make every shot different.

I adored the glitter box what a fantastic idea that works so very well and is so fun to work with, be careful though you may end up taking some of it home it's you . Hehe :)

I would highly recommend john and if you get the chance to work with him I would snap it up in a instant.

The end products he produced are of a high quality and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the rest of th shots. The ones so far are fabulous.

I worked alongside a gentleman called tom who was an absolute delight to work with.

Thanks for a great day guys :) john your a star!!

Had a shoot with John today for my neice. What a FAB studio set up he has and I STRONGLY recommend any model to this man and his studio!!!!

John is a great photographer, very professional but also very friendly and down to earth,

am looking forward to my own shoot with him very soon!

Wow, well where do I start.

I applied to john's glitter box casting, and never was I expecting such a fun filled and enjoyable shoot. The communication was absolutely spot on, on his part. And he explained his idea's so very clearly.

When I arrived I was blown away by his studio and it's well thought out and immaculate sets. John has worked super hard on his studio and it tells. He was welcoming and proffesional and was even kind enough to pick me up from the station earlier that day.

John is a seasoned proffesional with an amazing photography cv and I feel very honoured to have worked with him. He has amazing idea's and so much creativity, he knows the image he wants and I was more than chuffed with the images we produced together. John is a positive, genuine, laid back and friendly photographer who always ensures the model is happy while shooting with him.

Super chatty, and really funny too, we had a great laugh while also working hard to achieve amazing Image's. I could have never asked for the shoot to have gone better. John should be soo proud of what he has built with his rapor, studio and his presence within the photography buisness. He has amazing stories to tell and all in all is an inspirational and admiring person that makes you smile and really feel like a top model. I had so much enjoyment in shooting within his studio and especially his glitter box (which is an amazing idea btw) that I have never seen before, a truly unique photographer. Any model experienced or unexperienced you are garunteed to have one of your most best shoots with this photographer and should feel honoured working with him.

Thank you for an amazing day john, i cannot wait to work with you again.

Nothing but good words about John! He's very enthusiastic about his work and that's a joy to see, he was chatty and put me at ease all the way through the shoot.. He had some great ideas and we got some awesome images from it! His wife was lovely enough to cook me dinner and we had a great laugh and chat all the way through, time flew and I can not wait to work with him again! If you get the chance don't miss it, you'll have a great time and get some awesome pictures from it! Thanks again :)

What can I say about John? A wonderful, talented, funny and creative gentleman.

We worked on a few ideas which have evolved and resulted in fantastic images!

So easy to get along with, conversation and jokes flowed even though we worked hard to learn new techniques, settings and make those images come to light perfectly.

I cannot wait to shoot with John again and would highly recommend that if you have the opportunity to shoot with him, do not let it get away ;)

I had my first shoot today with John :) What a lovely gentlemen. He transported me from the station and then drove me home at the end of the shoot. I had so much fun working with him. We had so many ideas. We worked together like a house on fire. He is very professional, easy to get work with and he was a very good host. I look forward to working with him on a regular basis in 2015 :D Thank You John !!
