INFINITY Model

Was lovely to meet and work with Simon during my Dublin tour. Simon is very kind, patient and polite, he is a gentleman and it was a pleasure shooting with him.

Simon is professional, and despite not having very much experience in model photography, his creativity and skills are developing fast. He took many great shots during our two hour shoot, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the final results.

I can highly recommend Simon to other models and studios, thank you very much and I hope you continue pursuing and developing your art.

I had a shoot with Simon, whilst on my Irish tour recently, and we drove to a gorgeous area in the Wicklow mountains, a green woodland with a little waterfall, stream, and fallen trees - a wonderful ancient place. We shot a mix of soft portraits amongst the branches, nude shapes in ferns and the tiny waterfall, felt like a wee fairy! Despite the pesky midges, we got some utterly wonderful art, it was magical.

Simon is a lovely soul, genuine, respectful, very artistic and patient - would highly recommend to all models and creatives!

Thank you again.

Second shoot with Simon! Always a pleasure!

Simon brought some fun props to work with and we ended up shooting some quite surreal stuff, which I love.

Recommended 100%

Thanks Simon!

I had the pleasure of working with Simon a few days ago during his trip through the West coast of Ireland.

He came all the way to Galway to shoot me in the Castle I often use for shoots here.

Simon is very easy to work with: despite it being his first time shooting nudes, he was very professional throughout the shoot. He is also very patient! He had to put up with me taking more breaks than usual because the castle was absolutely freezing and I needed to warm up quite often between sets.

Simon was happy to let me improvise, but he also had his own moodboard to work with.

Pre-shoot comms were quick and easy too :)

Thanks Simon, I'm looking forward to see the shots!!

I had a splendid shoot with Simon on my latest tour of Ireland - I stayed mostly around the Dublin area and had arranged apartments to subsequently work from which was quite a change for me so certainly interesting to see where the results of working with different photographers would go! Simon got in touch via my casting call and expressed such keen interest in creating images, despite not having done too much in the way of working with models... His enthusiasm and willingness to grab it with both hands really shone through from the very start! :D We planned a short shoot at my apartment which would offer challenges in the way of creating shoot sets and interesting looks in an environment not purpose built for shooting. These kind of places can be super rewarding when they work - but also pose plenty of challenges for a model and photographer working to produce dynamic photos. I can truly say that we reaped the rewards, and Simon was a complete gem to work with: we got some really lovely material in the bag from quite early on in the shoot! Covering lifestyle, studio-style portraiture and even arty/creative concepts. Such a prolific couple of hours, and from my perspective - a wonderfully pleasant photo shoot with a gent who is very easy to work with. :)

Simon was helpful and clear in his pre-shoot communications about the kind of styles he had an interest in producing. He was open and welcoming of input from myself as well which was lovely because I felt comfortable suggesting things here and there relative to the different qualities of the shoot location that I had picked up on. We made the shoot our own however and really bounced off each other I feel... The outcome was one beautiful picture after another in all the sets we attempted! :D Simon, despite not having much experience working with models, was very cautious to get angles and light levels at their absolute best. We worked largely with natural light which, again: poses challenges for the photographer in the sense of not having that control over what the light may do next and just having to roll with it if it changes. He smashed it - he really did! This chap clearly has a good eye for a beautiful image and I can really see him flourishing in so many ways if he chooses to actively pursue his photography more regular. We already had a superb degree of teamwork going down which is the big factor that separates people (or at least model) photography from other non-living forms of photography. He connects and transfers ideas with his subject really well and I cannot give him enough credit for it!

Also a perfect professional in his approach! :) Simon was well-mannered, relaxed and respectful of me as a model in every way. I felt completely at ease working with him and would have no qualms at all about jumping for the chance to work together again at some point in the future. I also heavily recommend him to other models either based in Dublin or travelling there to work - our shoot together ticked so many boxes of fabulous! :D

Thank you Simon!
