I would highly recommend Colin for a wonderful photoshoot full of good laughs and conversations, lots of outfits changes and new looks, variety in styles and over all productive day!

Colin is alps a gentleman. He picked me up and dropped me off to my destinations and I was safe from the rain!

He talked about my levels to stick to them out of respect and.thing I didn't want to do wasn't not a problem and we only shot within comfort zones.

We did alot in 3 hrs and I have aleysd been sent a bunch of images that I really like!

Thanks alot Colin and I really hope we work together again It was a grand day

This was my second time working with Colin and as previously it was a total pleasure.

We had an impromptu shoot in Wicklow as the weather happened to be lovely that day, a rarity in Ireland. :P

The hours flew and we created some stunning images. It was a wonderful little road trip full of creativity.

Thank you so much. :)

I look forward to the next!

I had such a good shoot with Colin today.

Colin approached me while planning his UK tour, and I was happy to arrange a shoot in Stirling 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

During the shoot, Colin was great with directions, very professional and pleasant. We shot in several locations in and around Stirling, and I am very excited to see the result, as back of the camera looked beautiful.

Working with Colin was a pleasure, I genuinely had a good time with some chats and laughs ☺️

I would be happy to work with Colin again and can totally recommend!

First shoot with Colin whilst he was on his UK Tour 😁! He is very kind and professional.

Pre comms were really good and when we met we started chatting straight away and the conversation kept on flowing easily throughout.

We did have to change the location due to the typical Scottish weather but I feel this didn't put a barrier on our shoot. We ended up shooting at Kinoull Hill, which is a woodland walk up to the cliff edge which looks out to the hills and the river tay, there is also castle ruins which we took advantage of.

It was great to work with Colin and I look forward to seeing the results 🙂.

Highly recommended and thank you for shooting with me whilst on your tour🌟🫶

I shot with Colin a few weeks ago, along with another model for a duo shoot. Colin is a quiet friendly guy and very respectful. He’s happy tor let models do their thing which is great as professionals but he’s also happy to throw some ideas our way. If he wants to book you for a shoot I recommend him, he’s reliable and fun to shoot with. Jenny James.

Had a lovely 4th shoot with Colin SB! Recently we a shot on location in Nottingham and at Tank Space.

Previously me and Colin had shot remotely and twice during my Irish Tour in October last year. Did you know as well as models photographers do tours as well as models! Some didn’t know this. When Colin messaged me about his UK tour I was so excited. The text also came through on a boring day when I was doing tax returns so it certainly made my day and was a shoot to look forward to.

Colin also took the time and effort to source another model of purple port Jenny James who had similar stats to me and was a really great match.

I got the star treatment and Colin kindly collected me from Cambridge and dropped me back after which doesn’t normally happen on shoot days us models are always stuck on buses and trains especially those who don’t drive yet like myself. So me and Colin sort of went on an adventure we had a road trip. #Colinontour#roadtriptonottingham!!

We had some lovely chats on the way there and listened to a cool podcast on the way back. During the first part of the shoot day we got some really lovely images at the pumping station in nottingham a lovely location Colin had sourced for us. We got so many stunning duos and solos

pics and some featured some reflections on the lake.

Next we went to tank space! This was my first under water shoot and my gosh was it ten times more difficult than I actually thought it would be for some reason. Colin planned it well with a mix of both duos and solos which allowed for breaks. Colin was super patient which was great as things only really started to come together for me and I only started to get the hang of things toward the end of the shoot. Not very helpful but it was my first under water shoot. It was a challenging shoot but definitely an experience of a life time.

I’d definitely recommend any future models trying an under water shoot for the first time to practice holding their breath under water in a local pool and to warn them that the tank at tank space is much smaller than you think it would be so watch out for bumping into the sides with your limbs and things lols. Also to wear ear plugs to prevent ear ache. Also to practice poses under water too as it’s much more difficult than I thought it would be to pose under water. These things definitely do come with experience and practice.

110% recommended!! A fabulous day to remember with two fabulous shoots and an exciting road trip. Thanks Colin for your efforts to making this special day possible.

I had an incredible photoshoot with my old friend Colin, who traveled all the way from Ireland for his photo tour and made time to shoot with me in Reading. He picked me up from my house, and we drove to a beautiful park along the river, which I had chosen as our location.

We had a wonderful photo walk, filled with great conversation as always. Colin made the shoot easy and enjoyable, offering excellent suggestions and effortlessly capturing some stunning shots. I was thrilled with the photos he sent me; they look absolutely amazing.

I'm so glad I had the chance to work with Colin again. He's a great person, always polite, and a pleasure to spend time with. I highly recommend working with him and hope to meet him again soon. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

I shot with Colin during his U.K. Tour 😁!

We’ve shot 3-4 times now and we get on very well. He’s kind, professional and lovely.

He collected me and we drove to the location which was a nice lovely country park.

We used 1 outfit, a lovely fairytale-like/dreamy, white dress, that I supplied from my wardrobe. Then we found some small woodland areas to shoot a bit of art nude 🌲.

We also found a big rock on the way around which we had to photograph near for sure, as well as tint brick bridges, benches etc. it’s amazing how many options there are for ‘sets’ even when we aren’t in an indoor studio! 😎

It was great to work with Colin and I look forward to seeing the results 🙂

Highly recommended 🌟

I had a wonderful shoot with colin during his recent tour of the North of England.

Pre comms were great, we arranged to shoot at my local locations including a boat graveyard and woodland then the second part of our shoot was at a local studio so we were able to achieve a wide variety of images.

Colin is lovely and friendly, I felt at complete ease and the conversation flowed.

We gelled creatively both having similar ideas so the shoot sped by and we achieved lots of great shots.

Colin even treated me to a gorgeous pub lunch halfway through which was very kind.

At the studio we sped through lots of different looks and ideas,and in the 2 hours there made some great art.

I would love to work with Colin again and I plan to tour Ireland next year so hopefully our schedules align.

Highly recommended.

First time working with Colin after answering his casting for his UK tour.

From pre coms really easy going and professional.

Agreed on some locations and he was so kind to even give me a lift.

We started chatting straight away and the conversation kept on flowing easily throughout.

Got through some really good sets and love the images we got.

First class photographer and person and certainly hope to work with him again and highest recommendation from me.

Thanks Colin 😀

I had the pleasure of working with Colin for the first time yesterday and I hope it won't be the last!

Absolutely lovely guy, easy to chat to and there was a very relaxed atmosphere throughout the shoot.

We shot in a studio and did a bit on location too! The time flew and we got some gorgeous images!

Thanks so much. Until next time.

Highly recommended. 😊😊

Colin and I had planned to shoot together a year ago but it didn’t happen unfortunately. I was very happy when he contacted me to plan a new shoot. I found a suitable studio and planned my shoot outfits with Colin. I knew from the communication that the shoot would go very well. Colin is respectful, friendly, organised and has a great knowledge of lighting. We got on like old friends and we even had a quick tea break. Colin always showed me the images at the back of the camera to give me a good idea of what was working with lighting and poses. I felt we were a great team and I’ll look forward to another shoot in the near future. Thanks Colin 😊

Kitty Dawson

I had a second shoot with Colin during my Ireland tour.

This time I shot duo with Aurora Phoenix as well as shooting solo sets too.

Even though me and Aurora are different models, we worked together very well and created so many lovely images with Colin. Differences can add a great contrast and bring out the best in one another too.

Colin is kind, creative, a lovely soul, professional, respectful and is passionate about photography.

We shot fashion, lingerie and tasteful nude styles.

He was very kind to collect me and Aurora to drive us all to the studio in Dublin for the shoot. He was even extra kind to drive us to the airport after our shoot, which we whole heartedly appreciated and meeting people like Colin shows how many good natured and caring people are out there in our world :)

I throughly enjoyed shooting with him and I definitely would love to again!

I’m already missing our chats too!

Highly recommended photographer :)

Aurora Phoenix

I was lucky enough to have a second shoot with Colin during my Irish tour!!

We shot again on tour day 5/5 at NGCC in Dublin. We were going to go out on location but it rained so Colin was so cleaver and quickly found a backup plan. This shoot was a duo shoot with Kitty Dawson. We managed to get a mixture of both solo and duo shots during the session.

On me and Colin’s solo during the previous day we didn’t have enough time to shoot latex so at NGCC studio we did two of my latex outfits and Colin was so good at the lighting. We got some awesome shiny shots. Colin was good at getting in solos and duos and alternating between both of us so we each got to change and had plenty of breaks too. While for poor Colin the 3 hour session was full on as he was shooting the whole time.

The duos worked really well! Although Kitty and me are different heights and sizes we tried different levels and alternative things to make the shots work. This duo certainly wasn’t boring like two models standing side by side it was far from it and we got such fabulous results! Colin really brings out the best in both of us.

Before the shoot Colin kindly collected us from our accommodation and afterwards he kindly dropped us off to the airport this was appreciated more than anything.

110% recommended!! This photographer is respectful, kindhearted, caring, creative and easy going.

If your lucky enough to be booked by Colin you’ll be sure to create some fabulous images and have some lovely memories too.

After shooting remotely me and Colin finally met in person during my recent Irish modelling tour ✨✨❤️

We shot on day 4/5 of my the tour at an air b&b that I had hired. Prior to shooting pre-communications were top notch and Colin was easily reachable via both WhatsApp and purple-port. We had lots of chats and planning until the shoot day finally arrived.

On the day of shooting Colin arrived he was so friendly, chatty and easy to get on with. We started with a black backup and did some really cool fashion looks and later we did some lovely lingerie boudoir set ups too. I loved shooting the portraits as well. Colin really brings out the best in me and let’s my creativity run free. He’s not one of those photographers who bans smiling and I’ve been able to do plenty of smiles in our shoots along with a variety of other facial expressions which I loved.

I’ve seen some of the results already and I love what I’m seeing. Great memories from a fabulous shoot.

Had a really awesome remote shoot with Colin recently. Using sharing tools on zoom Colin was able to control my canon camera and settings from his location. After the shoot I sent over the raw files for him to edit via Dropbox.

Prior to shooting we had a few discussions over WhatsApp. Colin has booked a shoot during my upcoming Irish tour in person and suggested that we shoot remotely prior to the in person booking to get to know each other better and build our working relationship. I thought that it was an excellent idea.

Colin was really good at planning ideas and themes which made things so much easier on the remote shoot. Although this was Colin’s first remote shoot he picked up so quickly on the software and everything. Colin is super patient which is so essential for these sort of shoots and even when we had a few technical issues Colin was really understanding which put me at ease.

Colin is so chatty and friendly we got on really well!! We had such a productive and fun shoot as time flew by.

110% recommended from me. Colin is patient, friendly, respectful, creative and hardworking.

I am so looking forward to our shoot in person in Ireland at the end of the month it’s going to be a awesome!!

I had the pleasure of welcoming Colin on a 3-day photography trip in Budapest, and I'm thrilled to share my experience. Colin's dedication to his craft and his remarkable photography skills left a great impression on me.

Over the course of three days, Colin demonstrated an exemplary level of professionalism. His ability to capture Budapest's charm and translate them into captivating photographs was truly outstanding. From the vibrant streets to the iconic landmarks, Colin's photographs resonated with the city's essence.

Colin's attention to detail and his willingness to explore various angles and techniques added depth and creativity to our journey. His mastery of different settings and his ability to adapt to different environments showcased his versatility as a photographer.

Throughout our 3-day journey, Colin's passion for photography was obvious to me. His enthusiasm and dedication shone through, making the experience not only productive but also thoroughly enjoyable.

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Colin as a photographer. His professionalism, creativity, and adaptability make him an ideal choice for any project.

Colin traveled to Budapest and inquiried me with Aurora. He wanted shooting with both of us. We went to the beautiful hungarian garden and make some greatful fashion photos.

Colin is very correct and friendly. I loved work with him and Aurora. We were a good team.

I recommend Colin. If you want to shooting with a kind and talent photographer, Colin is your man!

I had a great shoot with Colin this past weekend in the NGCC Studio in Dublin. Communication was great beforehand, during and after.

Myself and another model shot together for the first hour and I had two more hours afterwards to shoot solo. While shooting, we used many props I had brought along and also made use of some provided at the studio. Colin was happy to allow me to try out the various ideas I had on the day as well as his own.

He also paused to show me the images throughout which is something I find to be very important. We came out with a variety of images and definitely did a good day's work. He has also been very quick in processing the images and happy to accommodate when I have asked for specific edits.

If you're looking for a nice, friendly, enthusiastic photographer with his own interests and ideas, I would highly recommend Colin! 🙂
