Was approached by Colin to model alongside Captain Ruv as part of a workshop. He organised it so that we modelled together as well as individually. Lots of laughs and fun was had throughout the evening. Cant wait for next time.

What a lovely, sweet man Colin is. I had worked with him a few times some 8 years ago, and after working with him again this weekend it was like it was yesterday! We had a great rapport, he is funny, kind and so respectful as well as super talented and very creative as a photographer. He arranged a group shoot with 7 photographers in total - we had a great evening and I can't wait for the next one xx

What a pleasure it was to work with Colin he was so well organized with mood board and some superb ideas we shot at Far Forest with the amazing Melany and produced some brilliant work.

I can't wait to see the results I totally recommend you check out Colinpics .

Thank you so much.

Colin was one of the photographers attending a studio day at Far Forest Studio with myself and Retro Rob.

We had a very productive two hour shoot covering a range of looks from outdoor art nude to indoor vintage. Colin was very organised and knew exactly the shots he wanted to get. He also had some great ideas for creating some original shots.

In short I would recommend Colin and hope to work with him again some day.

Colin and I shot together once again, this time at NLS. He organised a group of 6 to come and shoot with me for 3 hours. I shot a variety of styles and levels with the group, working up to art nude and aerial hoop as well. Everyone in attendance was really lovely and polite and I would be happy to work with them as a group or separately again :) Thanks Colin for sorting it out!

This is a belated reference, but I had a terrific shoot with Colin at Natural Light Spaces earlier this month, when he booked time on my Studio Day there, together with his photographer friend Jenny. Colin's pre-shoot communications were very thorough- he sent me wardrobe and prop suggestions both for himself and Jenny, so I knew what to pack and bring to the shoot. On the day, Colin and Jenny arrived on time- early, in fact, and we proceeded to work happily away on taking lovely pictures. :) Both Colin and Jenny were professional and respectful throughout the shoot, and the images they kindly showed me on the back of their cameras looked great. :)

Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again. Thank You. :)

Colin booked me to model for 2 small groups of photographers a little while ago, having met me at a previous group shoot. His comms were excellent, he let me know everything I needed and we sorted the location and what I ought to bring, and what levels/styles I would be shooting - it was all very straight forward :) On the day he and the other photographers looked after me very well, they even presented me with a lovely miniature rose and some giant chocolate buttons which was very sweet of them (one is lasting much longer than the other did ;) ). The shoot itself went very well, we shot from fashion to nude levels and everyone was friendly and respectful no matter their level of experience. At the end of the shoot the monsoon seemed to have arrived it was raining so heavily, and a couple of photographers including Colin accompanied me to my car holding a giant umbrella over my head and carrying all my luggage for me. Genuinely the sweetest group, very much recommended :) I will in fact be shooting with them again shortly, discussions already underway! Thanks Colin!

I modelled for Colin as part of a groupshoot booked at Pipewell Hall a couple of weeks ago. He was very friendly and professional in conduct, and I enjoyed working with him - with the whole group in fact :) I'd definitely recommend him, Colin has booked me for a second shoot already in fact! Thanks Colin!

I was one of the models working at another group shoot at Pipewell Hall with members of the Smethwick Photographic Club, including Colin. Everyone was lovely, took turns to shoot, they were pleasant, respectful and great fun to work with. I had a really enjoyable time and would happily work with them again :-)

I was fortunate enough to work with Colin twice in as many days earlier this week.

Colin had organised the first shoot with his local camera club (Bromsgrove Photographic Society) and was kind enough to book me as one of their models. Colin's Pre-shoot comms were great and very clear so i arrived at the shoot ready and raring to go! Colin and the other club members made me feel very welcome and entirely comfortable. The shoot was full of laughter and jokes, as well as being very productive.

The second shoot was a model workshop hosted by Flash Photography Studio that Colin had booked a place on. Again the shoot was a great deal of fun and Colin was friendly and funny throughout. His direction and feedback whilst shooting is always clear and kind.

Colin has been kind enough to share images he took from both shoots with me and they're really lovely.

I hope to work with him again at some point in the near future. Thanks for a lovely couple of shoots Colin!

Miss Rosie Lea

I worked with Colin for the first time earlier this week when he attended a model workshop of mine, hosted by @farforeststudio.

Colin's pre-comms were brilliant, and we exchanged a number of messages before meeting.

He was kind, respectful and communicative throughout the shoot and I felt totally at ease in his company.

Colin showed me back of camera shots throughout the shoot and was kind enough to share some of the completed images with me and they are fab. He has a lovely style.

I'll be working with him again soon and I'm looking forward to it already! Thanks Colin :)

Far Forest Studio

We were very pleased to welcome Colin to our studio today for his first visit.

His pre-shoot communications were first class and he arrived well ahead of the shoot time.

He had a clear view of some of the shots he wanted to get, bringing props and items to suit.

It was a pleasure to see him work, directing and communicating well in a professional yet, quietly unassuming light-hearted manner, and the model was very happy and relaxed throughout the fun shoot.

He is great company away from the camera as well which is always a bonus.

Highly recommended to any studio or model and we hope it wont be too long before he visits us again.

Colin booked me for a group session at a Birmingham studio recently, he planned the whole thing brilliantly down to a tee and I really enjoyed the day! Everyone was respectful and professional and came with lots of ideas. Colin picked me up from the rail station nearby and went out of his way to make sure I was happy. Very highly recommended

I have worked with Colin on several occasions over the recent years both in a group and individually ,in fact he was one of the first people I shot with

He always has a good plan of ideas and concepts before hand and communicates really wellin advance and on the day

Most recently we had a 3 hour shoot studio with two other photographers.

It was a most enjoyable session and the time flew by .

I would recommend working with Colin if the opportunity arises

I have worked with Colin on quite a few shoots now and am continually impressed by the level of preparation and research that he brings to each project. He knows exactly what he wants from each shoot and this and his warm, winning nature means models and photographers love working with him. I've learned so much since having the opportunity to work alongside Colin and we both enjoy working with new and experienced models. His photography speaks for itself and I really do recommend a portfolio building shoot with him.

Had a group shoot with Colin yesterday for his photography club. I didn't know what to expect from a group shoot, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely man, and also a lot of interesting characters amongst the group! Looking forward to seeing the photos - from what I was shown, they look amazing.

Highly Recommended!

Had another fabulous shoot with Colin recently at Phlash Worx. Colin was once again very organised, friendly and time went by far to quickly!

Whist shooting we managed to cover a variety of themes and I am looking forward to seeing the results.

Thank you for shooting with me once again and I hope it was not our last encounter.

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Colin recently at Phlash Work Photography Studio. Colin came to the shoot well prepared with ideas he would like to try, was enthusiastic, friendly through out and made sure at all times I was comfortable. The two hours we had together flew by, but we managed to get through a variety of concepts that produced great results. Thank you for a brilliant shoot and I do hope we are able to shoot again in the future. Highly recommended!:)

I had a shoot with colin and Bromsgrove photography society on Tuesday, they were such a lovely bunch of people that had real enthusiasm for photography. Colin had brilliant communication prior and during the shoot, we got a little lost on the way but colin was kind enough to pick us up from where we were.

Had a brilliant time with colin and the group and defiantly would recommend and work with them again
