First shoot with Nathan and I loved it! The location was beautiful 😊 pre comms were great and we knew exactly what we were going for.

My partner came as a chaperone and him and Nathan got on well. I'm very intrigued about Nathan exploring and knowing outstanding locations, so if you're going to work with him you will defiantly enjoy the scenerys 🙌🏼 as well as good conversations.

His direction of poses when needed were great also, so professional and easy to get on with, honestly such a lovely man and a photographer to work with 👌🏼🤗 Not forgetting the lovely little assistant Lucy🐕

Looking forward to working together again, thank you so much!

Had a great shoot today with Nathan. Easy to have a conversation with and be comfortable around. Made me feel relaxed and even boosted my confidence while shooting. More than happy to work with Nathan again, and hoping to in the near future.

Highly recommend :)

I’ve just seen the images from my recent shoot with Nathan and I am thrilled! I really enjoyed shooting with Nathan, who was, as others have already said, relaxed, accommodating, kind and patient. We shot a number of sets and variations and although not everything worked (when does it?!) it was great to experiment and the ones that worked REALLY worked. I highly recommend working with Nathan!

Sorry about the delay in leaving a referance. I had a wonderful random shoot with nathan not so long ago and what a great shoot it was.

He allowed me to wear what i wanted and have my make up how i wanted too, which consisted of a lot of colourful make up and sone crazy neon green funky fashion.

He was really welcoming from the get go and time flew by really fast. We've already discussed other ideas that we both so happen to have an interest in. I look forward to working with this talanted down to earth photographer again in the future.

Once again thank you for a great shoot.

I would definitely recommend anyone of any experience to work with nathan.

Book him you wont be disappointed.

This was our 4th shoot together and it went fantastic!

This time we were meant to do Implied nude but silly me forgot about marks from my undies but Nathan was the perfect gentleman and understood instead we shot some lingerie.

It's always a pleasure working with Nathan, the conversation flows easily and we always get wonderful images that I will use over and over again.

I would highly recommend Nathan to any model needing a top class photography definitely one of my favourite togs to work with in the area!

Thanks again for a great shoot.

I'm so glad that I managed to finally arrange a shoot with Nathan, alongside his trusted companion and faithful friend, Lucy. The location was utterly breathtaking and therapeutic in its awe. Nathan has such an instinctive eye for shot selection, but also open to work collaboratively with ideas in order to achieve the desired and shared outcome. Nathan was so easy to work and get on with. Chatty throughout, and so knowledgeable of the area. Results on the back of the camera looked really great, as I knew they would be. Absolutely, highly recommend.

Apologies for the late reference.

Had my third shoot with Nathan after I decided to start my double bass project and knew I needed to put it on top of a mountain (as you do). I knew there couldn't possibly have been anyone better skilled or equipped to shoot models (and their ridiculously impractical props) in the beautifully craggy landscape than this awesome gentleman. I was also overjoyed when I realised he'd brought along his assistant to the shoot: lovely little Lucy, the Jack Russell.

Nath is one of the most down to earth and friendly photographers I've ever worked with, making every shoot fun and interesting. His relaxed and approachable attitude makes it so easy to build a good rapport together and he's open to new ideas and input. I was thrilled when he suggested a bit of drone photography and video work and I can't wait to see the results. Respectful and professional throughout, he communicates very well to help you achieve the best you can and regularly shows me the results in camera so I know what's working and what isn't. He gives good directions when required, particularly where lighting and shadows are concerned but is also happy to let me do my own thing as well.

As an avid hiker, Nathan knows the Brecon Beacons incredibly well and more to the point, how best to use it to take damn beautiful photographs. Very knowledgeable about the local history of the area and mindful of a persons safety and comfort at all times, he was also kind enough to share other potential locations with me for the future.

Reliable, adaptable, professional and incredibly friendly, I always enjoy working with Nathan and of course, Lucy. His post processing work is always to a very high standard and honestly, I don't think I've ever had a single shot back from Nathan that made me say anything other than 'Oh I love that!'

Highly recommended. Thanks for another wicked shoot Nathan (even if it did result in some sun burn) - hopefully it won't be another year before our next one :)

Had my second shoot with Nathan. We did an outdoor shoot this time and it went really well! I felt very comfortable and nathan is easy to get on with. We got some amazing images! Really pleased with how beautiful they came out! Would highly recommend!

Had an amazing first shoot with Nathan today 😁 pre comms were excellent and he showed up on time. Really lovely guy and we got some absolutely beautiful shots! So excited to see the edited images and would definetly recommend :D I look forward to working with him again!

I had a fantastic second shoot with Nathan today!

Our Pre-comms were perfect, we had everything organised long before the shoot which makes my life a lot easier.

On the day, Nathan showed up on time and ready to go!

We shot a different style this time but no issues, Nathan knew what he was doing and the images on screen look beautiful.

Nathan is wonderful to work with, easy to talk too, Friendly and just a joy. The images always come out wonderful and I look forward to working with him many more times in the future.

I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone needing a Photography whether you are a newbie or an old pro you won't be disappointed.

Thank you for an amazing day!

I had a very enjoyable outdoors shoot with Nathan in the Brecon Beacons. We had arranged the shoot quite far in advance and pre-shoot communication was excellent. Nathan and his dog Lucy met me at the train station and we headed out to the location. Nathan was friendly and easy to chat with and I felt very comfortable.

The location itself was pretty awesome, rugged and secluded. I had fun clambering about on rocks. Nathan was happy to let me pose freely but also to give suggestions for fine-tuning a pose. Lucy the dog was extremely well-behaved, apart from wanting to get in on some of the shots :)

I'm really pleased with the images we created and I love the edits that I've seen so far. Would definitely recommend Nathan to other models and I'd love to shoot with him again!

Had my second shoot with Nathan up in the Brecons again along with co-model, Ferny.

Since our first shoot (and subsequently an FPI) together, I've been wanting to work with Nathan again for ages and it was no less a pleasure to work with him as the first time round! Nathan is an absolutely wonderful photographer, with an incredible eye for locations and composition! He's easily one of the most down to earth photographers I've worked with and you can have a laugh on shoot with him and just enjoy the experience.

Punctual, with excellent pre shoot communication skills and full of creative ideas, Nathan is especially good to work with for newer model who may still be a little uncertain. He was very respectful and encouraging to fellow model Ferny, whom had only recently returned to the modelling game following a long hiatus and made her feel a lot more comfortable and assured with the shoot. Nathan gives you a great level of creative freedom in terms of posing, though can also give direction when he feels something can enhance the image and as he shoots predominantly art nude, is very respectful of models personal space and dignity. He's very safety conscious given that he works outdoors a lot and always puts the models comfort and safety as top priority.

As a person, Nathan is nothing short of lovely to work with. Incredibly down to earth, friendly and with a cracking sense of humour, it's easy to build a solid rapport with him quickly and the shoot simply flies by as we chat and crack jokes. His adorable little Jack Russell, Lucy nearly always accompanies him on shoot (you're outside, after all!) and is both ridiculously well behaved and painfully cute! When some hikers came upon us by chance, she even jumped in front of us to protect our modesty while we got changed again, so really, you're getting a photographer AND a tiny, furry body guard! Nathan's edits are always unbelievably beautiful and I can't wait to see the final images of Ferny and myself!

Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot recommend this photographer enough! You NEED his exceptionally beautiful work in your portfolio, regardless of to what level. Book him now or regret it forever! Highly recommended!

Thanks for another awesome day out, Nath! Looking forward to the next one already.

Ferny

working with Nathan was a very nice and enjoyable experience as he gave me much freedom to try different poses and gave very good direction in the specific areas in which he wanted to create his ideas for the style of the shoot

his location choice was absolutely stunning resembling lord of the rings including some ruins surrounded by open nature

i definately hope to shoot again with him in future to gain more experience and improve on being more comfortable with open space nude shoots, he also provided me the opportunity to shoot with another model which was an amazing experience!

I had the pleasure to work with Nathan yesterday on a swimsuit, beach shoot! It was something different for both of us and I think we nailed it!

Our pre-comms were perfect! Nathan is very easy to get along with but knew what he wanted out of the day and we easily organized everything before the day.

On the day, Nathan was on time and full of smiles and great conversation. We got along very easily and he put me at ease straight away. The hours flew by between us talking and creating great images, 3 hours went in a flash!

The images I've seen so far look amazing and I cannot wait to see some more! I would highly recommend Nathan to any model new or veteran, you will have a fantastic day and even better images.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Nathan today after waiting a fair few weeks for the weather to turn (yes, you heard right - we WANTED rain). Admittedly I was both over the moon and a little nervous when Nathan first got in touch; his work is absolutely beautiful and frankly, I hadn't ever expected to work with someone so talented. But I needn't have worried. We met up some weeks prior to the shoot to scope out the location and we must've spent a good three hours just walking around talking and having a laugh. He's an absolutely lovely guy! Friendly, laid back, with a fab sense of humour and very generous with his time and knowledge, I felt instantly at ease in his company and we built up a rapport quickly.

Having found an absolutely stunning location in the Breacon mountains, Nathan's excellent pre-shoot comms gave me a good understanding of what to bring and what he was hoping to achieve. He (and his awfully sweet accompanying Jack Russel, Lucy) were incredibly professional and Nathan made sure that I was comfortable, safe (whenever I insisted on climbing something ridiculous) and warm enough at all times and showed me the images he'd taken after each set so I could see what was working and what wasn't.

He gave good direction but also allowed me a lot of creative freedom in my posing. With an incredible eye for detail and perspective in particular, his images are absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! He was even kind enough to take me to the chip shop after before going over the images with me at his home.

This lovely tog is far too modest and I cannot sing his praises enough. I'd recommend working with Nathan 100% and I can't wait to work with him again in the future! Book this gentleman for some good company, fun and above all, some truly unforgettable, beautiful images!

Thank you for such an excellent day out Nathan - can't wait for the next one!

Well it's been a long time coming this shoot I have to say,Nathan and I have conversed many times about shooting but it never seemed to happen until today,I replied to Nathan's casting for a model that would be willing to shoot in this chilly weather nude,well of course I jumped on his casting before he could close it :) and I was so happy that he agreed finally on a date,no real concept apart from artnude in the landscape,Nathan's communication was consistent throughout and the day finally came Nathan picked me up from Swansea and we travelled to an amazing location miles from no where and walked a little to what I can describe as a haven on the hillside :). I was like a child at Christmas when I saw the run down buildings and rocks gallor,as we passed each area I jumped in and started preparing ideas from the off set,Nathan was always checking I was ok and kept telling me to be careful as I climbed the mossy rocks and through the mud,Nathan is most definitely a must work with professional from the start,he would direct me when needed and knew exactly what he wanted from each shot.

I would most definitely recommend Nathan to anyone,so much so we have already said we will return to this location because the time went by so fast we hadn't even touched the surface.

Thank you Nathan for a fantastic shoot until next time my friend

Worked on location with the lovely Nathan, he kindly picked me up from the station and was friendly and chatty all the way to this beautiful location, it was simply stunning.

I was slightly nervous as this was my first and only location shoot this year since my accident but Nathan was patient with me and I felt at ease.

Had a great time :)

Highly recommend.

This was only my second ever shoot so I was a little nervous. The Pictures were needed for a feature in Rothfink Magazine who were featuring my car and I was jumping on the band wagon.

We had great communications about what we wanted to achieve, a pinup/hotrod style shoot and we were both totally on the same page which was awesome.

On shoot day, Nathan arrived and we hit it off straight away, he's a really lovely, easy going guy who made me laugh which helped achieve some more natural shots. My other half was also on set to help with setting the car up for shots and he also got on with Nathan really well and Nathan wasn't phased by his presence which was great.

All in all, it was a really pleasant day. I've already seen the unedited shots which are fantastic and no doubt I am gong to be pleased with the finished product. It'll be great to see them featured in Rothfink Magazine and online.

I'd highly recommend working with this guy and really look forward to working with him again myself - I think we'll get the Harleys out for the next one! :)

Thanks Nathan - you're a star! x

This was my third shoot with Nathan and again I was very pleased with what we achieved.

Our planned had to be postponed because of the weather but we were still able to shoot a different theme. The images produced have been to a very high standard and have been tastefully edited.

He has always been punctual to shoots and I find him an easy person to get along with and very respectful.

We already have more shoots in the pipeline and I'm very much looking forward to working with Nathan again

Although our shoot was short, I loved working with Nathan and we're keen to do something again in future. He's very easy to talk to, very down to earth and has a great eye for capturing the essence of a shot/scene. Gave a lot of creative freedom whilst bringing ideas to the table. Highly recommended :)
