13th Life Photography

Rob is a great bloke, I had wanted to shoot with him for a while and I didn't really know what to expect but he really is great.

Coming to the shoot full of ideas but was very open to to suggestions as well as nailing everything we set out to do.

Input in every aspect of the shoot from start to finish, wonderful at everything he did.....

We could have done lots more but that is for another shoot (I hope).

Pink Lady Makeup Artistry

I have been on a couple of group shoots with Rob already, but never been fortunate enough to be his makeup artist until today on our collaboration to create a stunning Drag Queen. Rob and I have been discussing this collaboration for a couple of weeks now and we have shared mood boards and ideas, discussing costumes, accessories etc leading up to the shoot.

Rob really knows the look he wants and once achieved he totally pulls the created character off to perfection. He remained beautifully composed throughout the wig and makeup application and gave positive input throughout. Once in front of the camera he totally "Rocked" the Drag Queen theme, changing clothes, makeup and wigs to portray several different looks from beauty dream bride, to a slut drop babe, I couldn't have asked for a better model to portray this amazing, multicoloured character.

I would one million percent recommend any industry professional to work with Rob, you ain't going to get a more caring, dedicated, passionate, life loving male model anywhere like him, I guarantee 100% satisfaction from mua, stylist to photographer... Rob is your man... Can't wait to work with him again...

Worked with Rob for the second time today as both a model and MUA on a visual kei inspired shoot.Really great model, his poses are excellent and he's really creative, not to mention his extensive wardrobe, his outfit was spot on and looked fantastic. Lot's of fantastic creative ideas for really great shots. Really lovely guy, very friendly and professional. Real pleasure to work with. Really enjoyed working with Rob and hope to work with him again in the future.

Rob is one of the hardest working and talented models that I have collaborated with.

We've shot together a few times now, and each time I am very, very happy with the results. His communication prior to a shoot is superb. We put our concept together and we know what we are shooting on the day. He turns up bang on time armed with a suitcase full of outfits and ready to go. I shoot what I want and Rob responds on a dime to my direction, and then (as we have agreed) we shoot Rob's ideas, and the shoot is organic and very easy to too. No one leads when Rob and I shoot because as much as I have ideas for the shoot, Rob has equally good ideas and we come up with some (I feel) really great work between us.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Rob. He is easy to get along with, funny, articulate, genuine, professional and all around nice guy.

I'm looking forward to the next shoot with Rob. I can thoroughly recommend working with Rob. The man has so many looks it would be a crime not work with him!

Eventually got to shoot with this young man yesterday on a fashion and beach themed shoot.

I found Rob to be a very easy person to get along with, and it soon became apparent to me just how much he loves his modelling.

The thing I love about Rob is his willingness to go crazy in his poses, and also add expression to his face in order to produce the 'full package'. On top of this is his great eye for styling and make up.

I hope that we will get the opportunity to work together again soon, and would highly recommend him to any togs/MUA's/Models...

I worked with Rob on a shoot on Sunday as a Model and MUA. He came up with a really great idea that we decided to work on together, his pre shoot communication was absolutely excellent, we were able to get a lot of previous planning in so we knew what we needed and how the shoot would be, he's got really great ideas to bring to shoots and loads of creativity. I really enjoyed working with him, He's a generally really nice guy, he sat nice and still to have make-up put on and really went the extra mile and struggled his way through putting contacts in, He really outs in a lot of effort to get the most out of a shoot. Would definitely recommend Rob to other Models and MUA's

Johnny Kaos

Had my first shoot with Rob a few weeks back, great guy to work with, He arrived on time and had many outfits and props, he was well prepared and worked well, had some of his own ideas. would like to work with Rob again in the near future and would recommend him to other photographers, models, MUA etc..

I would work with Rob again in a heartbeat. Friendly, communicative and an absolute rockstar to boot. Rob gives his all in shoots and it shows in the shots. He communicates well, needs little direction once discussed with what we are trying to achieve, and like all good models becomes a myriad of characters once shooting.

Highly recommended.

Worked with Rob, where I asked him to a Camera Club shoot. Despite some logistical problems he encountered, he really put himself out, came along well prepared and worked really hard with a mix of photographers. He was professional changes of outfits and was areal 'crowd pleaser', making the evening a great success. Thanks

Worked with Rob yesterday at Studio Blanco in Oxford. Excellent attitude and approach plus bags of energy - really helped given my limited studio experience. Really good look to go with it. Cheers Rob

I had the pleasure of working with Rob today. Wow what can I say. I enjoyed every minute. He seemed to know exactly what I wanted. It was a fun & relaxed shoot. At the same time Rob is very proffessioal. Extremely creative person, not afraid to try something new. Have had a look through and already edited a couple of images. Really happy with the outcome. I would love to work with Rob again on other shoots. I had wanted to work with Rob for a while. It was worth the wait. Most definatly I would highly reccomend him.

Thanks so much for today

I worked with Rob recently on a Tim Burton inspired photo shoot and I was so pleased to with the outcome. Rob is very polite and friendly, he's got a lovely personality and as a model he knows exactly what to do to produce amazing images! He follows direction perfectly and has his own ideas of what may look good on camera.

He is extremely talented and is such a lovely guy. I would love to work with him again :)

John at Dazzle (John Coles)

I have wanted to work with Rob for several years now, but each time we got close to organising a shoot with him, something seemed to go wrong... as it does! He is an exceptional model, with a fascinating and somewhat alternative personality, which I have always felt would be idea for my work.

So, at last we managed it (in fact, we've managed to book two shoots ten days apart). Yesterday's shoot was with the wonderful LuscousLemons, set in a hidden glade of massive moss-covered granite boulders on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Rob had already driven for nearly four hours to reach me, and when I drove us through ever narrower lanes, with high granite walls and arching trees, he must of wondered what he had let himself in for!

The shoot was difficult. Any boy / girl shoot (especially where the models have never met before) is always difficult, and was made more so by the rough terrain, the incredibly infuriating sunlight (there one minute, gone the next), and not helped by my neurotic dog prancing around. But both Rob and Luscious worked really brilliantly together, with complete professionalism and in a totally supportive way.

I loved the way that Rob instantly recognised his supportive role, accepting that for this shoot the 'girl was the star', and understood exactly how to do that, and how to move and pose to throw the spotlight on her.

I loved the way that Rob brought his gentle personality and natural politeness to the scenario, whilst also understanding totally the subtle edge of eroticism we were trying to capture.

We worked frenetically, fifteen different story-boarded poses lit, posed, and photographed in just over two hours, and I just could not have done this without the wholehearted support of both Rob and Luscious.

So not only is Rob highly recommended, but we spent all the time on the drive back discussing our next shoot.If you need a male model for your next shoot, book Rob - he is Awesome:) Thanks Rob:)

Rob helped out at very short notice when we had been let down.

He was on time and well prepared. He was very positive and worked hard with a number of inexperienced photographers.

Rob is highly recommended.

This was my first shot with Rob, comms were good and we both arrived on time.

Rob was well prepared and great fun to work with, always worked hard to get the shot.

Rob had good input to all aspects of the shoot and I would highly recommend him.

I met Rob at the August social over at Spitfire Studios. He was happy to model for us, and the energy and effort he put into this was amazing! We kept him busy for most of the evening, but he just kept going and the images are just fab. It is clear to me that he could hit any look required, and with his friendliness and enthusiasm I would highly recommend him for any shoot.

kaspont

I have shot with Rob numerous times and always found him easy to work with.

In fact, you can barely call it work, because the poses and the idea's just flow naturally.

Always professional and open to exploring new ideas, I would highly recommend him.
