I finally got to work with this amazing photographer! He is one of the best photographers that I have worked with. San is very easy going, polite, friendly and very creative! He knows how to get a model to come out of their shell. We got some great results and looking forward to seeing the final result! His photos are filled with so much character and emotion.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE! Looking forward to working with him again. :)

Best story telling photographer I have worked with. Thank you San.

AKASHA ASYLUM

Worked with San with a small team of individuals for an storytellers shoot based around Dark Romance entitled "A Dangerous Masterpiece." San was on time, turned up with loads of gusto and was willing to brace the cold and windy weather for a good five hours shooting time in December. Since seeing the images i can confirm that he is by far one of the best photographers i have worked with during 2014 and we look to work with him more in 2015. Wonderful chap with a great sense of humor and knows how to get shots done quickly and well. Thank you San, see you soon

I had the pleasure of working with San recently on a shoot based on a romantic storyline and I have to say that I am so super impressed with his work. The way he works is fantastic, he is so creative and he really thinks of all the possibilities to make a shot look the best. He is so talented and adding to that, such a wonderfully friendly guy. He has such a positive energy and I love it :) Cannot wait to work with him again this year!

I had a really good shoot with San yesterday in his hotel room in London. I felt completely comfortable with him and really feel he was on my wavelength with styles and aspirations, which made it especially nice. He was very appreciative of my abilities and look, which was nice and encouraging, and he came with some great ideas and inspirations (discussed prior to the shoot), and made the absolute best of a modern hotel room (it was a really impressive hotel, actually) with some beautiful lighting. I really like his focus on context and narratives as that is something that, to me, pushes an image towards a different level. I would very happily work with him again and hope I will! Oh and he was easy to chat to and a wealth of knowledge about Bollywood music & film! :-)

I had a wonderful shoot with San in London! We had a lot of pre-comms, you need to be committed to your craft in order to nail and enjoy a shoot with San as he knows exactly what he wants and is a genius with lighting!

I'm so impressed with what I saw in the back of the camera, and San is an absolute gentleman!

I'd highly recommend shooting with him if you haven;t already!

Thanks for a great day San! I hope to see you again soon!

What can I say...San is nothing but an exceptional photographer. He can capture models beautifully - whilst creating a story around them producing wonderfully themed photographs. I have had the fantastic opportunity to work with San on a number of occasions, and I can only say that I have always left the shoot feeling as though I have worked with a great talent. As you can see from these comments - this is echoed by others too. Whether you are a beginner, or more established, San will always encourage the best in you to produce great images.

Capture a Nomad

Working with San I have to say at the start of my modelling profession, I have to say has been the biggest confidence boost in being able to create beautiful, editorial stories with a fairy tale luminance to his photographs.

Each and every time I have worked with him, and been a completely different narrative, he's easy going, painting that narrative in your mind so you can get into that character's skin and make it come through on Camera.

His pictures and the way he works, through pure passion is magic. Anyone who can't see that need to go to Specsavers, if you don't wear glasses then you need your head checking.

Recommended to any soul worthy.

I was very very lucky to of been given the opportunity to work with San and his chosen team on a recent shoot with the concept Ancient Greek. San is a story teller his images show stories. This is something I've not worked on before and was so delighted to be a part of it. His determination and passion shine through from his prop buying to the location to the pictures he takes. A very friend passionate photographer who I know his work will soon be seen worldwide in glossy magazines. Cannot wait to work with him more

I was incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with San. His shoots are inspired and creative, his work is diligent and incredibly professional. Location was stunning and well thought out for pre and post shoot requirements, all of the teams needs were met 100%, certainly a very safe and sensible professional with fun in everything he does. Communication pre and post shoot was second to none. He has a wonderful energy he brings to each shoot and his passion for our industry is infectious. I would very highly recommend working with him at any given opportunity. A wonderful day was had with a wonderful team. Thank-you!

Had a great shoot with Sanjeev at my home studio yesterday, he arrived on time, was very friendly, chatty and enthusiastic.

He came really well prepared, and had some amazing ideas, he made great use of the 3 hours we had by setting up lighting in different rooms of the house and trying different concepts.

Loved some of the shots we got and it was refreshing to see someone just try lots of different ideas and work hard to get the lighting.

I would happily reccommend Sanjeev to other Models and we have already discussed planning another shoot!

Thanks so much :)

Had the pleasure of working with Sanjeev yesterday at Wollaton Park. He was on time and gave me good information on what to bring with me.

Due to weather issues we had to cut the shoot short and rearrange. Looking forward to working with him again in the new year. :)
