References for John Forest

So I’m a terrible human and had gotten myself disgustingly behind on references, so in the space of a few months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with John three times and this is the first reference I’ve left since this trilogy of shoots! (I’m so sorry I’m so rubbish with references *hangs head in shame*)

John is one of my favourite people to work with and on these three recent shoots, I had I privilege to be a part of John’s amazing movie project. John is incredibly creative and always has the most epic, mostly homemade, props to hand. It really is fantastic. John puts his heart and soul into every project and it is inspiring.

John is always considerate of everybody’s comfort and happiness (even when he’s rushed off his feet making an epic movie!). He really is a wonderful person.

My highest recommendations.

I always enjoy working with John for bondage shoots and sessions. He’s fun to work with and we always have fun whilst I improve on my rigging work. John is always very patient and an excellent teacher! I always enjoy shooting bondage with him and I look forward to the next session with him. Highly recommended to other models.

Another wonderful shoot with wonderful John, who is always on time, always smiling and always a pleasure to work with!

Whatever the nature of the shoot John is respectful and courteous and always professional. I cannot recommend shooting with John enough, as well as being a talented photographer he is a great guy to spend time with :)

Thanks again John! xx

Hooray for John! Every single photoshoot we do is extremely different in outfit, theme and scene as John is working on a film! This time, we filmed a crowd scene at a masked ball. Lots of outfits and fun things to do and say. :)

Though our shoots are always different in theme, they are all exactly the same in terms of Johns awesomeness, excellent pre-shoot communication and creativity. There's always some new prop or outfit for me to admire! As always, highly recommended! :D

VERY highly recommended! I was excited to work on a movie with John and he was brilliant at letting me know what to expect with wonderful storyboards, script, and images of the previous film. If I was even slightly nervous about working on a big production with John I needn't have been worried because everyone on the team was just as lovely as him, which no doubt reflects his good judge of character. It was a professional but fun environment, and I felt really looked after.

Well firstly a quick apology to John for leaving such a late reference! But I need to start by saying what a wonderful shoot I had with John, we had been in communication for a while and finally set a date. I will also note that I spoke to another model who couldn't sing his praises enough, exactly what you want to hear!

On the day John collected me from the station and was immediately chatty and friendly. We started off with a good cuppa and Johns wife joined us chatting about their video projects and so on. It was absolutely lovely to get to know both John and his wife they are real creatives!...

We had an awesome shoot, John was relaxed, had ideas and allowed me to style and put my own spin on things!... He made me feel comfortable throughout and as we were shooting some light bondage work it was nice.

The images we shot look awesome as well!...

I would absolutely recommend John, a true creative and kind man....

Thank you again John and I would absolutely love to work with you again in the future!

Shoots with John are always an absolute pleasure, he is professional to the core and a creative, kind soul to work with.

John was one of the first people to shoot me in a bondage style and that was a few years ago now, I always love love love our shoots and I'm so glad he continues to work with me! See my previous references for more about working with the lovely John xx

Highly recommended every time x

I love shooting with John so very much! He is so lovely and friendly as well as professional and he has taught me so so much about the industry I love.

Cannot recommend him highly enough! xx

Super shoot with John - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this gentleman to other models and am looking forward to working with him again myself. Great communication prior to the shoot, easy to get on with and work with during the shoot and I am very happy with the resulting images that he has been adding already.

Thank you again lovely can't wait until next time x

Another excellent shoot with John. As always he was fun to work with and have me some great tips on tying for next time ;) He took some excellent shots and had some great ideas during the shoot. Highly recommended and I hope to keep working with him in the future.

Shooting with John is always such a treat, we have similar interests and it being our umpteenth shoot we get along like a house on fire. John is incredibly experienced and professional when it comes to both photography and rope rigging and creates art in what he shoots. I just love our shoots and John has gone out of his way helping me film bondage content, thank you so much and I cannot wait for the next! X

Another fantastic shoot with John. This time, my friend Katarina Marie Mannequin came along to model with me and we had lot's of fun!

I always look forward to working with John, he's creative, enthusiastic and a wonderful person!

My highest recommendations!

What a great shoot with John this week!

It was a fairly impromptu duo shoot but I felt completely relaxed throughout and really enjoyed John's shooting style. He knew what he wanted from the pictures and communicated it well and it was also really easy to have a natter and a bit of a giggle with him.

I would definitely recommend John & look forward to working with him again in future!

John remains one of my favourite people to work with- he's full of ideas and stories, is happy to let me try and improve on a shot we've taken, communicates well so I know exactly what mood we are going for and is always mindful of my comfort. I cannot recommend him any more highly and look forward to working together again! :D

John came to mine today to work in my shed! He was working with Sophia west in there and I have no idea what they were doing! In all seriousness though, John arrived early, fully prepared and it was a pleasure to meet him. His pre-shoot comms to me in making the arrangements to use my facilities were first class and the time he spent here ran smooth as a whistle. Clearly he is a talented man and having seen some of his video work I was extremely impressed to say the least. Very creative and a superb imagination.

John is welcome at mine anytime.

Sophia West

Today I got the chance to work with the lovely John and my word did the time just fly by! It really was a great shoot!

Pre shoot communication was great. I knew exactly how the shoot was going to run and what kind of person John was.

John is professional in what he does. We started with rope work which is very new for me and John couldn't have been any nicer! It was a really good experience for me to get to work with him.

We then moved on to dance moves with cloths which I loved!

John came fully prepared, early and was such a joy to work with. I will be working with this man again many times in the future I'm sure!!

Great shoot!
