I was booked by Colin for a camera club photoshoot session and the planning and organisation was great!

The club was a pleasure to work with, everyone so enthusiastic and making the most of the outfits and set ups.

I look forward to working there again :)

I modelled for Colin for a model night in Bromsgrove for a group of photographers with varying experience. The night was run very well and I felt at ease with everyone involved. Organisation was good, and finances sorted swiftly. The images have started filtering through and they look great! Thank you!

Last night I went along to model at a Photographic society group, after speaking to Colin on here.

Communication was great beforehand, with directions, payment, clothing ideas all explained, and how the night would run.

On the night I was made to feel very welcome, lovely group of photographers & all ran smoothly.

Thanks for having me!

Colin came along to my Peaky blinder themed location shoot in Birmingham. Colin is a very considerate photographer and works well in group settings. We worked together one on one within the event setting and Colin got some amazing shots. I love the portraits that he got on the day. Always great working with Colin. I look forward to the next time.

Colin organised a evening shoot for his photography club.

His pre communication was excellent, the night was structured well and colin and his group were very friendly and accommodating.

Received some great pictures from colin afterward would definitely work with him and his group again.

Colin came along to my Ballet Portfolio Event.

He was good with communications, punctual and an asset to work with.

It was the second time I had worked with Colin, the first being about a year ago.

He has been very interested in dance photography and my speciality - Ballet.

I love working with Colin and I can't wait to work with him again next month on my next event!

Misuzu

Colin came to a workshop I did back in June with JD Tuition at Studio G in Redditch.

Colin was great to work with. From the perspective of a model, he was very friendly, polite and respectful at all times when shooting. From the perspective of running a workshop, he was a delight to have on our workshop. I remember him cracking on and giving things a go but also asking questions when he needed to, so he got the best out of the four hours workshop.

I would happily recommend him to any model, studio or tutor.

My apologies for taking so long to write this reference!

JD tuition

Colin came to a workshop that Misuzu and I ran at Studio G, and he was a delight to work with.

He said that he was looking for a refresher on lights and their use: he easily got into the swing of things, and was confidently adjusting the lighting to get the very best results from each setup.

His approach to both Misuzu and me was friendly and respectful at all times, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to models and studios.

Pro Ballerina Jade

Colin was the last photographer of the day at my recent duo shoot day with Pro Ballet Hamish at Natural Light Spaces, and it was lovely to spend two hours shooting together!

Colin was very clear in his pre comms, so we knew before the shoot what he wanted to capture, and he also brought along more ideas and images for inspiration. Colin had a great understanding of the light, and has an eye for creating a beautiful picture. We had a nice and relaxed two hours of shooting, and he was a pleasure to chat to in between sets.

I saw some great things on the back of the camera, so I can't wait to see the final images! Thank you very much Colin!

I had a lovely shoot with Colin when he shot Pro Ballerina Jade and I at Natural Light Spaces. Colin messaged us both before the shoot, he was very clear and had some good ideas for our 2hr shoot.

It was lovely to talk to Colin between the poses and his passion for photography was very clear. I am sure we captured some great images in the little time we had, we worked with natural light and studio light, with poses and captured jumps. I look forward to seeing the final images.

I was absolutely delighted to see Colin today at my studio day at F/8 in Gloucester. Colin and I have shot together many times and I really enjoy his company, his enthusiasm and talking through new ideas and concepts.

We worked very productively today - through a range of fashion and art nude looks. We always talk through ideas together and it's very much a team approach which I love.

Colin is a real gent and a pleasure to shoot with - he comes very highly recommended from me!

Retro Rob

Another brilliant shoot with Colin on another date of the Retro Rob and Melany Tour this time a location shoot in a classic English garden setting where we captured some stunning images.

Colins attention to detail is impeccable and I have no doubt there will be some truly beautiful images.

I can't wait to see the final edits and look forward to working again with Colin soon.

Thank you for a brilliant shoot Rob

Had a brilliant shoot with Colin at a Rococo Garden, having worked with him many times before we had yet another successful shoot even though the setting was very different to our usual studio booking.

As always Colin was excellent company, he has a great sense of humour and made the shoot really enjoyable.

We worked together really well to capture some stunning shots.

Highly recommended :)

I Was in a shared shoot, at Rococo Gardens, with Rob and Mel, with Colin. it was such fun, and absolute pleasure, we were able to photograph comfortably throughout the 3 hr shoot.never fighting for position, or feeling we had missed a shot. Colin is a great photographic mate. he has lots of brilliant ideas, he explains to the models exactly what he wants, he seems to know exactly what will get the most impact in a image, and i am always happy when Colin invites me to accompany him on a shoot.

Had a delightful shoot with Colin at Far Forest Studio. We’ve worked together many times before so it was lovely to see him again.

We covered a range of looks from ballet and sheers to art nude and vintage fashion. We also tried various lighting set ups and some movement shots which looked amazing on the back of the camera, I look forward to seeing the edits.

Thank you Colin for a great shoot.

Highly recommended :)

Fantastic! another brilliant shoot with the amazing Colin at Far Forest Studio on another Retro Rob and Melany Tour date.

Having worked with Colin before I knew what to expect so was really looking forward to more of his creativity and energy which he bought to this shoot with abundance.

We covered some brilliant ideas and also ventured into stunning new lighting that from what I could see from the back of the camera where just amazing.

Thank you so much for another brilliant shoot I can't wait to see the final edits and work with you again in 2020 .

I had another productive shoot with Colin a few weeks ago. He had organised a small group and came as always full of ideas and enthusiasm and it is always very easy to shoot with.

Colin has photographed me through all my years of modelling and look changes and has always delivered creative ideas and imagery that I am really grateful for.

I would highly recommend any model looking to diversify their port to work with him
