Sooooo pleased I got the opportunity to meet and work with you.

Arriving at the venue was really easy and the directions where clear/straight forward. Pulling up right on the seafood was fantastic!!!! I don't see that everyday in Mansfield :D

We started with a cuppa and a brief chat, then began shooting.

I don't have a single negative thing to say about the shoot. You were completely professional throughout and we created some amazing images!!!!

I would work with you again without hesitation!!!

Another amazing evening at club Albert with the very lovely Mal. This time it was a small portrait group with a very relaxed atmosphere. Mal is just incredibly talented with the warmest personality. He brings a lot to the group so it’s always a pleasure to see him and work together. As I’m sure you’ll see yourself from his work that Mal is very good at what he does, with a creative approach to any shoot. I of course highly recommend Mal to any model or studio. You will have a blast, I always do! ❤️

I had another one to one at club Albert with Mal and as always I had such a blast! I feel at home the moment I step through the door, Mal is truly one incredible person who’s strength never fails to amaze me! Working with Mal and becoming his friend is just such a huge privilege. It’s a relaxed, fun atmosphere making the time fly by. We always have such a good laugh together and if I do say so myself… we get some incredible images too!

I can not recommend Mal and club Albert enough. You really have to shoot with Mal if you haven’t already. He’s a real gentleman with incredible talent and creativity. ❤️

I worked with Mal on the 18th and 19th for a 2 night makeup themed event. Mal really is a pleasure to work with and does everything to ensure your safety and to make sure you feel comfortable. Relaxes, kind, genuine photographers always make for an e element shoot. Communication before the shoot was excellent, we discussed what makeup looks he would like, but still trusted my judgment and gave me some creative reign which led to 2 amazing shoots. I really do recommend working with CheekyMonkey1.

Mal asked me to step in place of a model who was unwell, which I was more than happy to do so. Especially after the care and support I received through a flare up with my illness. Mal’s communication is always brilliant and so organised making the planning of the shoot flow very well, including transport to and from the club which is very much appreciated, also very reassuring to know I’m safe as I don’t drive. I’m never left relying on public transport which is not something a lot of photographers think of for the model. I love attending the group shoots, I love my one to one shoots with Mal too, I think we create some amazing images together, he is so creative. A truly caring person too.

Thank for all you do. ❤️

I've had a handful of shoots with Mal. He's one of those life changing photographers. Sadly he wanted to give me the world - I made quite a positive impression during my introductory shoots, despite being on some of the most demanding tours of my life at the time.

I wasn't able to keep up with the contracts and opportunities he specifically created for me, not yet anyway. I am brand new to UK and will be embracing extra commitments once I'm settled down. But it was far too overwhelming at the start.

I am moved, however, for the offers. Art is alive in this man. I believe art has allowed him to walk through hell and come out the other side. He is calm, professional, grounded and direct, and seems to just want to make brilliant artistic connections with other people. I believe the creative force inside this man is boundless. I am in awe of the work he creates, and his skills, and passions.

I'm thankful to have met him and his team, and when the time is right, we will sync up way more often.

I've worked with Mal on quite a few occasions now, both one to one and in a group setting as part of club nights at Albert & Victoria Southport. On all occasions Mal has been welcoming, kind and courteous.

Club nights are always an enjoyable experience and a good laugh, I'm looked after and refreshments are always offered which is lovely.

Mal is a great photographer with a good eye for detail and composition, we've even got a publication which is a nice accomplishment for both 😊 If you get a chance to work with Mal I can highly recommend to all models, photographers and studios. Thank you and see you soon!

Worked with Mal many times now, both 1-1 and group shoots and every time it is a complete pleasure :)

He is a wonderful man and photographer, I am always happy and comfortable around him and the images we create are always amazing!

Will be continuing to work together for a long time I hope,

Always recommend!

As always another fantastic shoot with Mal. I always have an amazing day, Mal is one of the loveliest people you could meet, he’s so laid back, fun and easy to get along with.

I love how Mal knows exactly what he wants me to bring a long to the shoots. He had amazing ideas even the fine details! I feel I’ve known Mal a lifetime, I’m completely comfortable around him.

If you haven’t already worked with Mal… what are you waiting for?!

I can’t wait for our next shoot already.

Thanks Mal 🥰

I was shooting with Mal for the first time during my trip to Liverpool. Precomms were perfect, I knew what stuff I should bring with me and what type of shots we were going to do. Mal is such a nice guy, easy to work with and extremely friendly. He took some amazing images of me and I had so much fun the shoot throughout. Really hope to work with Mal again, highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my solo shoot with Mal at the Albert & Victoria studio in Southport. Mal has been amazingly helpful and friendly since we first spoke. He is very experienced and has given me lots of knowledge being a new model which I am very grateful for. We had a laugh and got creative... the perfect sunday! Can not recommend him higher. Edited pictures were received in a few days! Very impressed and looking forward to next time!! ♥

Thank you for having me !!!!

Looking forward to many shoots together !!!!

I shot will Mal today at club Albert And Victoria. Honestly he couldn’t have been better. He messaged me a lot before the shoot (I was nervous as I’ve never met anyone off here before) and he put me right at ease.

Answered any questions I had and helped me plan my journey to the location. Mal was very professional and caring. I can’t wait to see the photos from the shoot.

If you haven’t already worked with him, make sure you do! He’s an absolute gentleman.

I got be apart of the Halloween camera club mal and dave organise, as always it was great. Everyone is friendly and professional.

I highly recommend doing a 1 2 1 shoot or taking part in the camera clubs he organises they are fun exciting and you get to create some amazing images.

Thank you for letting me apart of your Halloween spectacular:)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mal again, one to one then a group shoot over at club Albert and Victoria. I feel so comfortable when around Mal, I can completely relax and be my goofy self. I think having fun and a good connection with your photographer is something I feel quite privileged to have. I would say Mal is a good friend and a very good photographer too! The shoot always flows nicely and Mal has a very keen eye for detail and knows what he wants in a shot.

As always, a pleasure. Thank you Mal 😊
