Chris and I had our second shoot on easter day at The Natural Light Studio, we planned to shoot a bit on location as well but Chris decided it was a little too chilly and didn't want me to be uncomfortable (much appreciated! :D ). Chris' pre-shoot comms are spot on just as before, and on the day he was just as friendly and kind to work with, his eye for an artistic image is as keen as ever and his approach is very collaborative. Working with him is always a pleasure and the edits are super! I'd be very happy to shoot with him again (in fact we have already discussed a few ideas) and recommend him to other models. Thanks again Chris! :)

I had my first shoot with Chris at PoZers today, we were shooting military pin-up for my application to model for a charity. Chris' pre comms were fantastic and we were on the same wavelength right from the word "go", we shared similar ideas, he was fantastic at directing me, knew exactly what he was doing and he was exceptionally friendly and made me feel very relaxed. We got some fantastic shots and had a laugh along the way. 10/10 would certainly recommend to any model of any experience, I would definitely work with Chris again!! Thankyou for an awesome day :)

This was the very first time that Chris has shot at PoZers and I'm certainly hoping it won't be his last, his photgraphy work is stunning and exceptionally artistic and just the sort of style that is right up my street. Chris was exceptionally punctual and arrived with stacks of ideas and bits and pieces for the models casting call, of a Military styled shoot. It isn't often we have a casting placed by a model for a photographer, so it was refreshing to see how this panned out, as it is usually the photographers project, direction and wardrobe and accessories for this sort of shoot, so it was wonderful to see the model giving the photographer direction for what she wanted, and I have to say that Chris remained thoroughly professional at all times and was a total gentleman and exceptionally patient all the way through. It was obvious that Chris had done this style before and he was a natural for directing the models poses to suit the theme, genre and her body shapes etc. and he remained a totally gentleman and professional throughout, ensuring that the model was getting the most from every shot, and willingly shared every single image with the model and myself throughout the shoot. I am really excited to see the image from the shoot, unfortunately as they are being published, I have to be patient, but this makes the anticipation even greater and I know I won't be disappointed with the finished result and I know the models going to be over the moon with them. I really can't recommend Chris enough and I will be sharing his work with all models looking to build their portfolios, as his style, images and professional attitude is exactly how we present ourselves at PoZers. Chris is great fun to be around and really cares about the models well being, just like us. Really excited to have him back very soon. Thank you Chris and I look forward to working again with you very soon.

Chris booked in to shoot me at the Old Chapel for my model day there! His pre-shoot communications were spot on, and he had very clear ideas about sets he wanted to do with me. He even had a pdf of dance poses he sent over which was extremely helpful. We shot a bit of fashion, portraits, art nude body shapes and ballet (en pointe and not)..and a teeny little bit on aerial hoop :) he turned up early, and was very friendly and pleasant to work with, just an all round good shoot and some awesome edits up on the same day! Very much recommended by me, and I would gladly shoot with Chris again myself. Many thanks! :)

A third joint shoot with Chris today, this time at SS Creative, with the lovely Victoria Summers.

We seem to have complimentary styles, and on the whole tend not to be in each other's way (we did have a couple of exceptions today, working in dark areas - sorry, Chris!)

Easygoing - but don't be fooled: Chris knows exactly what he's doing, and what he's aiming to achieve. A man who loves shooting pictures, and approaches it in a highly professional way.

Next time is being planned...

I worked with Chris the other week and it was great!

He booked an amazing studio where we did a number of different sets and styles

We got on really well and he always showed me the back of the camera so I knew what we were getting

Hes a lovely guy, chatty friendly and professional

I love the images we have got from the shoot and I cant wait for our next shoot

Highly Recommended to all :)

Chris and I shot together today for the second time, and it was just as fine an experience as the first session.

He's quiet and clam - and knows his onions (and photography!) We find it easy to agree, and also - and this is the magical bit, I think - can shoot the same model simultaneously, getting different results, rather than competing to photograph from the same spot.

He has a gentle and understated way with models, and it makes it easy for everyone to respect him, and get on with the job, while having fun. Mr Quiet Efficiency.

I worked with Chris for the first time a few weeks ago alongside John Duder for a last minute shoot at Coco studios.

Chris was very friendly, professional and easy to talk to.

We got on great and he gave good direction all throughout the shoot as well as frequent feedback so I could see the kind of thing we were getting for each set.

Him and John also seemed to work really well together and bounced ideas off of one another which also helped to set a great atmosphere.

I felt totally comfortable working with Chris and would certainly do so again in the future!

A great shoot all round :) Thank you Chris and sorry for the late reference!

Highly recommended to other models and photographers :)

Chris replied to my last minuet casting and it was quickly and efficiently arranged.

All went great Chris was friendly and patient and worked well with both our ideas. The only thing was time went too quickly.

I am looking forward to seeing the pictures.

It was a most enjoyable shoot and I would be happy to recommend Chris to other models.

Another awesome shoot with Chris, this time being at The Old Chapel Studio in Newent.

Chris comes well prepared and full of lots of great ideas, always keen on trying different types of lighting throughout the shoot.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Chris, such a lovely guy, we get along fab and we always bounce lots of ideas off each other.

Looking forward to our next shoot in a few weeks

Again highly recommended by me

I worked with Chris for the first time a couple of weeks ago and boy it was great!

Alongside John Duder we traveled to various locations across Derbyshire. Chris has a great eye for lines in imagery, something I really admire and I love to work towards images like these. Chris was so easy to get along with and really laid back. The time flew by and we got some amazing images. Thanks Chris for such a lovely day. I hope to work with you again one day!

I had the pleasure and privilege of doing a joint shoot with Chris yesterday.

He's incredibly easy to work with - some togs can get a bit competitive, so to speak, leaving little room for a fellow shooter: Chris is relaxed and highly competent, and clearly happy to refine what soemeon else does, and have his own ideas refined. The whole is more than the sum of the parts, which is always good!

We were photographing the marvellous Neena in some of her outdoor locations, and that meant that we had a three-way creative huddle going. I think my shots are the best I've got of Neena to date as a result.

Watching how Chris interacts with a model is a lesson in how it should be done - considerate, thoughtful and helpful, while respecting the model's space. A gentlemanly and creative approach that brings out the very best in the poses.

Will we do it again? Very probably, from my point of view! (Though I will make sure I have a map on hand to sort out minor location issues next time! Sorry, Chris.)

Had the pleasure of shooting with Chris at a Mansion shoot :) He was lovely to work with, friendly and polite. He took some fab shots and was kind enough to share them with me :) I really enjoyed our shoot, time always goes too quickly! :)

Highly recommended

Thanks a million :) x
