I worked with Gary at a Dreghorn Studios group shoot last year - am only posting a review now that I finally opened my own purple port account - on the day turned up an hour early with an extensive choice of clothing and was ready to shoot on the dot.

Great company throughout the shoot Gary was an excellent model adding his own interpretation to shoots and really seemed to understand photographers needs.

Would definitely work with Gary again and hope that won’t be too soon.

I had my first shoot with Gary on a chilly winter afternoon in Glasgow. He arrived at the outdoor location 20 minutes early, despite the cold. Pre-shoot communication was prompt and clear.

Gary's wardrobe consists of a choice suits and a plethora of accessories. Everything was well coordinated and exactly what I was looking for. His poses were consistently excellent from head to toe; a valuable thing when composing photographs in the dark!

My only regret is not shooting with Gary sooner.

Organised a shoot with Gary for a wee personal project.

Gary's communication was great and took part in making my idea come together by offering different items of clothing he could bring.

During the shoot, Gary was patient and diligent and turned on just the exact facial expressions required, understanding exactly what I was looking for.

I worked with Gary on a photo workshop in Glencoe with Paul David Smith. I think I was first to grab him as soon as he arrived at the shooting location and was ready to get going straight away.

He was very enthusiastic, friendly and chatty throughout the day, despite the changeable weather conditions. He worked very well on his own and with another model on the day.

It was a pleasure to meet Gary and work with him. I Would definitely recommend him.

Thanks again Gary.

Paul David Smith

I had the pleasure of working with Gary at a photography workshop I organised in Glencoe, Scotland.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent, Gary listened carefully to the styling for the outfits and clothing we wanted and shared photos of what he intended to bring with all the photographers coming on the trip.

He pre-booked his bus ticket so I knew he was committed to the shoot having not worked with him before and was on the first bus up to Glencoe and back down to Glasgow on the last bus of the day.

Gary is an excellent model, poses effortlessly on his own and follows direction really well when given. He took all the setups we threw at him in his stride and posed well with a female model we had on the trip too.

Equally importantly, he is a really nice guy. He introduced himself to all the photographers and smiled and laughed his way through the day, even when one of them tied him up in a straight-jacket on the Glencoe moors!

I rarely take chances on new models I've not worked with before for such big jobs, but I'm really glad we did with Gary. We will certainly be working with him again in the future and would recommend highly to all.

I worked with Gary as part of a group workshop arranged by Paul David Smith in Glencoe. He turned up early and was ready to get going straight away. He was enthusiastic and positive throughout despite some interesting weather conditions. He had some good poses, and more important some great facial expressions which helped create a story in the images.

All round great to work with and I would definitely recommend Gary.

It was absolutely wonderful to have Gary join us on a recent photography trip to Glencoe.

Gary was lovely to chat to and get along with creating an enjoyable shooting experience.

As well as being able to model next to Gary - which was absolutely marvellous - It was also wonderful to be able to watch Gary work on his own as he was fantastic at portraying the look and style the photographers were after to capture some absolutely stunning and powerful images.

I would 100% recommend Gary to models and Photographers (as well as all other creatives alike) as he is so lovely and you will have an amazing shoot with him! I hope to work with Gary again in the future and shall enjoy seeing more of his work. x

Gary joined us on a recent photography trip to Glencoe and was an absolute delight to work with. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Gary had great communication with the group (on FB) before arriving, and joined in with all group discussions whilst on the trip.

I hope to work with Gary again in the future, definitely recommend!

What a true gentleman Garry is and he put me at ease as we tried out ideas in Little Red Foxes studio today. He took direction great and even got in a shadow fight with a toy fox.

I have no hesitation in recommending Garry and look forward to editing the photos we produced today. I look forward to working with Garry in the future

Had the pleasure of working with Garry on Saturday. As a model he is reliable helpful pleasant organised. Pre shot communication was excellent and Garry showed his professionalism on the day, seamlessly moving form one pose to another. He is comfortable in front of the camera and nothing is tot much trouble for this man. I have no hesitation in recommending Garry for any shoot and look forward to working together again in the future.

I booked Gary for a shoot on location in Glasgow - triggered from a casting call that he put out for dates I could not do but from that initial contact we booked this shoot. Pre comms were excellent and he turned up with the outfits as requested.

Being familiar with the Glasgow weather meant that Gary wasn't fazed when we experienced about three different seasons in a couple of hours. Being in the city we managed to shoot a variety of shots including backgrounds such as city style, woodland and an avenue of trees.

Gary poses with ease and can work without direction and also follows direction well. Friendly and keen to get the right shot. Gary is easy to work with and I can recommend working with him if you get the opportunity. We had a fun shoot and I hope to work with Gary again.

Had the pleasure of working with Garry in the studio.

Garry was booked in to shoot some fashion with one of our photography clients. From the word go he had all of his clothes and accessories and chatted through with the photographer on what they had to achieve from the shoot.

Both left the studio after a very productive session.

Look forward to your next visit ..... Always coffee in the pot.

I booked Gary for a three hour studio shoot, and can highly recommend him.

Communications were great, we discussed wardrobe ideas before hand and he brought some items of clothing with him, all clean and pressed, and he was happy to try a few items I had brought. He has a great look as you can see from his portfolio.

Gary arrived on time, and ready to work, with a professional attitude but he was also friendly and good company while patiently waiting for me to set up and change lighting etc.

He knows how to pose well and has a range of go to "looks" which really helped break the ice and took direction well, so we were able to work quickly.

I really enjoyed working with Gary and hope to work with him again soon.

I recently worked with Gary on a multi model shoot with a zombie theme. Gary was very patient having his make up applied although is was quite a long process, he was very friendly and approachable . he is a natural in front of the camera and a genuine pleasure to work with I would recommend this model 110%

Katt Wolfe

What can I say, after working with Gary I thought he had been modelling far longer from how fantastic he was on set.

Took everything asked in his stride with the shoot being one that's less ordinary and unlike a lot of models there were absolutely no diva moments! Professional but still fun and very easy to work along side. Goes completely out of his way for that perfect picture and was a total pleasure to have on the set.

I would 100% recommend Gary to any creative looking for a talented, fun, professional and dedicated man who I defiantly hope and look forward to working again with in the future.

Gary and I have worked together numerous times over the past few years for a variety of projects and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a male model. Great guy, confident, easy going and always keen to try new things.

This was the first shoot I did with Gary, and it was a joy from the outset. He has great style and charisma, and was very professional and friendly; a pleasure to work with.

He was interested in the photos as we went along, varying and adopting numerous poses with minimal direction. He also came with several changes of clothing allowing for variety.

I would absolutely recommend Gary as a model to work with; I look forward to working with him again, on future projects in the near future. Grazie. Thanks :)
