My first job with Chris as a HMUA and, as always, he's a pleasure to work with.

He arrived at the venue early and greeted me with a big smile before helping me with my heavy case and making sure I had somewhere to set up.

Respectful and encouraging to models at all times. I look forward to seeing the images and working with him again in the future :D

I first worked with Chris in 2008, on a 2-day outdoor bondage shoot with Mark Varley rigging. It was a very enjoyable couple of days and we went on to shoot together repeatedly (13 shoots in total, so far, I think). It's been a while but very much looking forward to catching up with Chris soon and collaborating on more amazing images . He is enthusiastic, attentive, constantly concerned that I am okay with every situation and has a wonderful sense of glee about some of the bondage predicaments we come up with as a team. I count him as a good and trusted friend, love how good he makes me look, and all in all he is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I shot with chris about a month ago now during my travels and he was a delight to work with very talented Photogrqpher and produced some great images in a short period of time highly recommended

I had a shoot with Chris earlier in the week and although, due to circumstances out of our control, we were not able to shoot the original theme, Chris was still able to produce a set of images so that we didn't go home with nothing.

Chris is a pleasure to work with. He is professional, patient and made the best out of an unexpected situation. I would love to work with Chris again!

I had a great shoot with Chris. He turned up on time, was polite and willing to listen to any concerns I had. He is very patient and honest, the two things I admire in a photographer. I would love to work with him again and I would highly recommend him.

I had a fantastic shoot with Chris yesterday and model Zoe Wyatt. Chris was kind, considerate and respectful throughout the day. He approaches his work very professionally, his pre-shoot communication is spot on and he worked tremendously hard to ensure that everyone involved had something amazing to take away from the day. He does not rush his work, instead he considers each set carefully in order to get the best possible result. He encouraged input and feedback, he also considered other peoples opinions, thoughts and feelings at all times. I would highly recommend Chris and I very much look forward to working with him again.

I really do not believe that i will be able to put into words how wonderful it is to work with Chris for the second time. He is a photographer of the highest caliber and such an inspiration. His drive and passion to get the prefect shot is addictive and makes you a better model and you get the most amazing and thought provoking shots.

I am disabled and a wheelchair user, but this did not put off Chris. He accepted me and challenged me in ways I could not believe. But he is patient, kind and gentle, he is also so respectful. He never once pushed me to do poses, we both talked about what we thought I could do and tried them. If they did not work or I could not hold the pose we moved on. He never, not once pushed me to do things I could not do.

On this our second shoot we had the best weather from my point of view so we could start shoot right away. It was quick and efficient and always helps put me at ease as I love to just crack on with the job. Chris always knows what he wants with me and it helps that we discuss poses before the shoot. All I can say is that we got some of the best pictures I think i have ever had the pleasure of being able to be in.

I always look forward to work with Chris and feel sad when our time is over. If I had my way we would work together more than every six months, but life gets in the way. I can not recommend Chris enough as a photographer and I always feel honored that he wants to work with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.

If you want a hard working, professional and frankly outstanding photographer then look no further than this man.

I had a brilliant second shoot with Chris today. As usual, he was friendly and respectful but we also had a laugh and great conversation.

Chris has given me a lot of encouragement since I worked with him on one of my early shoots which has given me a lot more confidence in my ability and makes the whole shoot that bit more comfortable. He also brought drinks and snacks, a thoughtful extra most don't bother with!

We explored some new locations which were fun to experiment with. He directs well whilst still giving me the opportunity to pose myself. He got me a full set of unedited watermarked images for me to choose from by that evening, what more could you expect?

I genuinely think of Chris as not only a photographer, but also a friend. I can't wait to see the final images and work with him on future projects. Thank you for some much needed cheering up!

Had another great shoot with Chris, he has a great eye for the right photo and he was very considerate of me given the conditions we were working in! He's a very laid back guy and i'd recommend him to anyone who wants a great shoot with even better results :)

Chris invited me to do hair and make up on a shoot with Rebecca Sophia. He is so friendly and happy to sit and chat while I did hair and make up. It was great to work with Chris and I would definitely work with him again :)

First location shot which I enjoyed throughly. Chris is very organised and extremely professional with all his work. The locations were very inspiring but of course had an amazing array of ideas and he's very creative with his work. He ensured safety of myself and the makeup artist Fiona he acquired for the shoot at all times and was very respectful of my dignity. Very excited to see the outcome of our shoot and look forward to hopefully working with him again. Would definitely recommend whether new model or experienced,

Chris also supplied tea and snacks 😂

It was a pleasure to work with Chris on my first ever shoot on Sunday. From the get go he was extremely organised and had fantastic communication prior, during and post shooting.

Chris made sure that both myself and the model AnnMarie were treated with the utmost respect throughout the day. He valued both our opinions and asked for our perspectives on various aspects including the locations.


Chris provided snacks and hot drinks for us all, which was a lovely treat, and welcomed on the breezy Sunday morning. I would definitely recommend Chris to all models and makeup artists, he was professional at all times, thoughtful and accommodating to all parties.

Shot for the first time with Chris yesterday. Great shoot, Chris was very professional and respectful yet easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable around Chris and he gave good direction and had some great ideas.

On my list for photographers to shoot with again and again and I know I'll always get some great shots and the shoot is enjoyable yet productive.

See you again :)

Chris is extremely kind, patient and respectful, always making sure to make me comfortable on our location shoot, providing hot tea and snacks (which was very much appreciated :)

He is very well organised, enthusiastic and creative, and has a list of amazing locations to explore and shoot in - which, unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions we weren't able to take full advantage.

He is a lovely person to be around, and would work with him again.

I had another wonderful shoot with Chris on Saturday at a really interesting location with another photographer and two other models so it was super fun!

Chris is one of my favorite photographers to work with because he makes me feel so at ease and is lovely to work with. He gives great detailed direction when needed and his attention to detail is an inspiration. Chis is also very organised from the pre-comms to the travel to being prepared on the day, with snacks, baby wipes and reference/ inspiration images to hand.

Overall I really enjoyed shooting with Chris again and it was totally worth the long journey to the location, I would definitely love to do more shoots with him in the future.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy Chris's location shoots and was even more fun considering we also had an extra photographer and 2 other models with us.

Chris is the most prepared location photographer iv ever worked always bringing flasks of tea, snacks, wetwipes and ideas ensuring the shoot runs smoothly and everyone has fun and gets their ideas listened too.

It was also lovely that he recognised my skills as an assistant and encouraged me to take on this role when he was shooting the other models.

I always feel so comfortable working with Chris and would highly recommend him to anyone. I am currently downloading the images from the shoot

Had my second shoot with Chris yesterday, and what can I say? I am once again blown away. He raises the bar for photographers, and I have worked with many in my time of being a model.

We were quite limited in my first shoot with Chris, as we shot in my tiny flat and didn't have much to work with (all though I was quite impressed with what he was able to do even with that space). However on this full day shoot, we went on location, were not limited in any way, and the sky was the limit. Chris has an incredible list of locations that provide for endless possibilities. Once we got to his location, our ideas started bouncing off each other and we were overflowing with creative enthusiasm building off one another. Not only does Chris have a never ending imagination of wonderful concepts, but he also encourages me to tell him my ideas as well and is always happy to go above and beyond to try them.

Chris also brought an abundance of drinks and snacks and anything else we could possibly need for our breaks. I was treated like a princess throughout the entire day. Chris is great fun to be around and also maintains the highest level of professionalism at all times.

Having just seen some of the photos off the back of the camera, I'm already overly excited to proudly put the shots we've gotten up on my portfolio and have my name on them. Chris has found the perfect balance of encouraging me to challenge myself as a model without pushing me past any type of limit, or making me feel uncomfortable in the least bit.

I could go on for much longer, but I think you get the idea. Seriously, shoot with this photographer if you get the chance. 110% recommended!

I had my 2nd outdoor shoot with Chris recently. We had arranged it some time before and I kept watching the weather as the day approached. It wasn't a good forecast but to be honest nothing was going to put me off! The rapport we had built up on the 1st shoot just got better as we bounced ideas off each other and came up with some great shots. Chris is a very considerate person and a great photographer and I love working with him. If you get the opportunity to shoot with him you certainly won't be disappointed. I can't wait for our 3rd shoot – hopefully we'll have some nice weather and we can achieve even more.
