My second shoot with Craig, this time at my home.

Craig did amazingly well, using the gorgeous natural light, and required very little set up.

3 hours flew by, amazing sets and we got to shoot in the garden.

This was one of Craig’s first home shoot, he did exceptionally well, fabulous images, can’t wait to see them! Highly recommended!

I LOVE worked with Craig! He always makes me smile and feels like an old friend (less of the old :P ) :) This time we worked together at the sensational AURAPhotographic Studio in Northamptonshire! 🌹

Craig very kindly booked me here for a half day whilst I was on a mini tour and I had such a lovely day!! I absolutely loved the natural light images we achieved using the different sets at AURA! The studio sets were absolutely beautiful and a complete joy to model in.

It was such great fun exploring the sets and chasing the natural light before the sun went down! Craig was very patient whilst I transformed into different characters and kindly bought a couple of wigs for the photoshoot. He was also super kind to share the images with me after the shoot and I really loved the results; especially with the wig cropped wig (a different look for me!) and with the amazing posing boxes AURA had to offer which were super eye catching!

Thanks again Craig, you are a lovely soul; one of life's gents! I really hope to catch up with you again soon! Super duper highly recommended to all creatives and models alike, Helen x

Second time shooting with Craig now and it was somehow even more pleasurable than the first! Craig is such a kindhearted and respectful photographer, giving tweaks to poses when needed and somehow always nailing the angle. I love working with Craig because I can confidently move through various challenging poses and muscle holds without fear that I'm not being captured in the best possible way. Craig literally nails EVERY SINGLE SHOT.

Thanks so much for coming to Aura to work with me again!

Absolutely loved my first shoot with Craig at Openspace and hoping it wont be the last...

Craig is lovely to be around and I was instantly comfortable around him...

Craig was always professional, respectful and I have no hesitation recommending him to new or very experienced models...

Not only is he a great guy but we smashed our shots together and nailing every single set...

Thank you for such a fantastic 2 hours...

🎞 Kempston Studio [Studio Hire, Bedford] 🎞

Craig booked as part of Rebecca Perry's studio day at the studio.

Craig arrived with ideas of what he wanted to shoot and was soon into the swing of things making Rebecca feel comfortable and respected. Also respect for the studio and its equipment.

Happy to recommend Craig and hope to see him back again soon.

I worked with Craig for the second time the other day; this time at one of my favourite haunts- a stunning ruined chapel set in the hills of Chepstow! It was our second time working together and our first working together on location- and it was so lovely to catch up! :)

I think I was brave/INSANE for suggesting to work together on location during such cold weather in November and I truly suffered for my art! However it was dry and the sun was shining at least so was perfect to explore! :)

Craig was so incredibly kind and had planned ahead to bring a super warm jacket to pop on top of mine (and my God did I need it on the day as it was near freezing!) That thinking ahead greatly helped and meant that I could model for longer periods without freezing! :)

Craig was extremely kind and patient whilst I navigated the ruin, tombs and climbed windows! Craig is such a lovely, kind, professional and respectful person to work with; always making sure I was happy and comfortable and allowing for plenty of warm up breaks which were greatly appreciated!

We finished out shoot at the old Tintern Station which was such a a beautiful place to use as a backdrop!

Craig was super kind to share a selection of images with me after the shoot which looked absolutely beautiful!

Thankyou for such a lovely day Craig and I really hope to work together again soon! Super highly recommended to all, Helen x

Fantastic location shoot with Craig, was a lovely day and we had a great fashion shoot, easy to get on with and good conversation flowed.

Great images taken with lovely scenic location and was an enjoyable shoot. Highly recommend!

I had my first shoot with Craig today at Aura Studios in Weedon Bec and what fun it was.

Our shoot consisted mainly of fashion with a little cheeky nude thrown in at the end. We certainly did get throw some outfits and took full advantage of the studios props.

Craig contacted me firstly on Instagram and then opened his PP portfolio where our comms continued. He is very professional, chatty, smiley and a complete gentleman. For someone that is relatively new to model photography he certainly knew the ropes.

I had a great shoot. Thank you. Can’t wait to show the world what we created.

100% recommended.

After quite a long pause since I did a photo shoot, I worked with Craig twice in the space of two weeks. I was worried about being able to step back into the swing, but I needn’t have! Craig is a joy to work with.

We had a lovely chilled first shoot, then tipped it up a notch for the second.

We shot in Oundle, round and about the town - then this week we went to Two Wei location House. All comms were great - cheese and a plentiful supply of cake was on hand, as was a sense of humour and thoughtfulness.

Thoroughly recommend.

2W Location

Craig’s first visit to Two Wei. He came well prepared and with a bag full of muffins too ;). Craig is a very enthusiastic photographer and managed to work his way through many varied sets during his time here. He worked well with his models and was friendly and easy to talk to.

We have no reservation in recommending Craig to other studios and models and look forward to welcoming him back to Two Wei in the future.

It was a pleasure to work with Craig again - after quite a few years since the first time we shot together! This time we had a lot more 1 to 1 time so I got to know that Craig is a very friendly, respectful and fun photographer who is easy to work with. We did a variety of looks and Craig was open to my suggestions which is always so appreciated :)

Craig even brought some fabulous snacks for the shoot which made me very happy! Thank you! :) Overall, I really enjoyed shooting with Craig and would definitely work with him again. It was nice to have some time to chat and get to know each other too, and see some pictures of his lovely cats.

Highly recommended from me, looking forward to seeing your favourite photos from the shoot! :)

Craig was absolutely lovely and a pleasure to work with. Very clean captures and good eye for lighting.

We worked effortlessly together shifting from tasteful implied shots to full muscular art nudes (that I’m really proud of). Plus, I found a love for modelling with a simple white shirt again!

Thanks Craig x

It was my very first time working with Craig at my studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" and I was a little nervous but needn't have been!

Craig kindly booked 6 hours of model and studio time, with half of this allocated with my husband, photographic assistant and tutor; Rogermore.

From first meeting Craig he is just such a lovely down to earth, kind and FUN, endearing personality! We immediately saw the funny side of the shoot and we were in hysterics at certain points (also due to my mad humour!)

The night before the shoot I realised that we hadn't exchanged a mood board or ideas for the upcoming day together - BUT we had discussed Kidneys and Cats! :) So the evening before the shoot Craig pops over a list of inspiration and I pop together styling and a rough shooting plan for the following day- and BOOM! We were set! :)

On the day of the shoot we went through a large variety of clothing, dresses and styling in the beautiful Old Hollywood genre using the beauty dish, then switching to side lighting for fashion and finally art nude, gels, oils and smoke!

We even had time to shoot outdoors in our garden as the weather was perfect- just the right amount of cloud, acting as "Gods soft box" (as I call it! :P ) The photographs outdoors looked absolutely stunning and Craig was very happy to go along with our direction but also to offer ideas.

I really look forward to seeing the results, there were so many beautiful images from the day!!

Craig was very professional, very respectful to work and I would highly recommend him to all models and creatives!

Thank you so much for such a lovely, enjoyable day! We went away smiling! I really hope to work together again in the future, Helen & Roger x

It was a pleasure having Craig attend an evening group shoot I hosted at my local nature reserve. He had great pre-shoot comms.

On the day, he was polite and courteous to the other photographers there and had no problem shooting 1-2-1 (or acting lookout)! He kindly sent me images after the shoot for me to look through and I am so pleased he now has a PP profile.

Thank you for a lovely shoot!

It's been a while since Craig & I worked together, with him having had time out and at the time of writing (Aug 2022) I think he's pretty new to Purpleport.

I worked with Craig as part of a tutorial day to nurture his interests, build his skills and collaborate on ideas he wanted to pursue.

Craig was very friendly, down - to - earth and friendly throughout the shoot and I really enjoyed working with him.

Even after all this time, he made contact to check I was happy with the images of me he had added to his port, which was very considerate. I really hope to work with Craig again in the future and highly recommend him to other creatives.

Many thanks,

Lizzie
