Colin came along to Studio Fifty Eight to shoot with Ivory Rose on our Groupshoot night. Colin is always friendly and courteous and ready to shoot. Pre comms are always good too. Throughly recommend him to anyone wanting to work with him. Regards Andy.

I had the pleasure of working with Colin at my Studio day at Sandon Studio this month. He helpfully supplied a brief of the styles of images he wanted to work on, and was friendly and communicative from the start. Colin and I worked hard to create some unique and beautiful images which he was aiming to produce, and had a fun time doing it.

Colin's friendly demeanour made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the shoot . He asked for my input to the shoot as well as having lots of his own suggestions and brought some really interesting props and accessories with him which enhanced the images and added a new dimension to the shoot.

It is obvious that Colin is passionate about creating beautiful and diverse images and he works hard to produce work he is pleased with, whilst making sure his models are comfortable and happy with the shoot.

I'm enjoying seeing the images which he has chosen to use, and hope to work with him again in the future.

Highly recommended,

Lizzie

Had a most enjoyable shoot on my studio day at Sandon house with Don, what a gentleman, Don came prepared and with a lot of ideas and although we had only two hours we got a lot done. Really lovely man and made me feel totally comfortable. 100% recommended!

Thanks again,

I met Colin for the first time on Keith Mitchell's workshop at Solo Studio. Colin was polite, professional and lovely to work with. He has a great eye for portrait work and I love the various edits I have seen from our shoot :)

Thank you for making the workshop fun and enjoyable Colin :)

Recommended for sure!

Colin answered a very last minute casting call for my studio day at Natural Light Spaces and I am very glad he did. We had spoken about shooting previously but it hadn't worked out so it was nice to finally get something sorted! Comms from Colin were brilliant.

On the day he was very relaxed and had been scouting the area before the shoot, he was immediately, relaxed, chatty and friendly! We didn't have a specific plan but after looking at the back of Colin's camera we decided outdoor would be best! So we had a relaxed outdoor shoot picking out areas as we went. The shots looked gorgeous! Very Mediterranean inspired! And we had a good giggle whilst shooting!....

Colin is a lovely person to chat to and spend time with. He is also a talented photographer who is always looking to get the best from him camera...

I would certainly recommend him and felt safe throughout the shoot!

Thanks again Colin & I do look forward to working with you again!

Had another amazing shoot with Colin today. Just love how creative Colin is and always takes his time.

It's always a relaxing shoot and the time just goes far too quick.

Can't wait to shoot again. Got so many more ideas to get through.

Massive thanks

I had a shoot with Don at my studio day at Solo Studio. After a rocky start with technical difficulties, we got into the swing of things and tried out props Don had brought along, shirts, colourful scarves, hats etc. It was great fun and Don was open to my ideas too. It was a productive shoot with lots of ideas throughout. Don is a very kind and genuine and personable person, I'd have no hesitation working with him again and recommending him to others.

Great to finally meet and work with you Don. Thanks :) x

Don's a star! He's so easy to work with, listens to ideas, wants to try new things. I can't fault him really. We had a shoot at mine using different areas of my home... The time flew by and we got some darn good images!

Colin booked me last minute when I had a cancellation last week and saved the day for me.

We had a really relaxed and productive shoot where conversation flowed well.

He brought a glass block with him which worked well for some creative portraits and really added something to the images.

I was pleased with all communications, directions and feedback before and throughout the shoot.

Colin is brilliant company and made me feel comfortable during the shoot.

I would certainly recommend him to other models and would love to work with him again.

Thank you Colin :)

Had my first shoot with Don at the weekend as he came to one of my studio days at The Natural Light Studio. We first met up for some breakfast before the shoot which gave us some time to chat and get to now each other.

Don was really easy to model for and was happy to shoot me on the aerial hoop (I was longing to go on it) as well as do his concepts and ideas. He had to basically dance around Pebbles the cute little Pomeranian dog (she took a liking to him) but nothing fazed him from getting those shots :)

I do hope to model for Don again in the future and urge others to model for him :)

Yet another productive shoot with Don.

Honestly such a nice guy and a creative photographer.

He is always happy, friendly and chatty. Always happy to go with the flow but does normally turn up with some stunning jewellery pieces his wife makes.

Your guaranteed to have a fun shoot with Don.

Highly recommended

Thanks

Colin shot here for his 2nd time on a ‘Model Day’ that I had arranged with the absolutely gorgeous Rosa Brighid. As before, I found Colin great to get along with and a really likeable person that is developing well as a photographer, and has already added a few images that I really like from the shoot.

I’m certainly more than happy to recommend him to all models and studios. – Lee

I worked with Don at a workshop held by Max Operandi. Unfortunately my reference is a bit late as I went off gallivanting for my wedding and honeymoon and so I'm only just catching up on references for the work I did on the lead up to it - slaps own hand!

Don was such a lovely person to work with, he's so kind and chatty and gives you plenty of rests between sets too :)

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and really hope to work with him in the future :D

Had a fantastic first shoot with Colin today, he is extremely understanding and flexible with dates and times. My first photographer today had to cancel due to a crash and Colin was happy to move our shoot backwards by 2hrs.

He's great fun to work with, complete gentleman, chatty. Friendly and happy to take coffee breaks :)

Really hope to work with Colin in the near future

Thanks

I had an excellent shoot with Colin yesterday. He was very professional and arrived well prepared for the shoot. He was fun to work with and had some excellent ideas for poses etc for maternity. The shoot was relaxing and the time flew! I can highly recommend Colin and hope to work with him again in the future.
