My second shoot with Ed this time on location where we were looking at different lighting. We had spoken on the shoot and Ed brought a good selection of outfits to get a different look on each set.

Ed is a pleasure to work with.

Mr Dave

Had a location shoot yesterday with Ed and a couple of other local photographers. Ed arrived on time and with a good selection of clothes. We managed a number of sets around the public gardens which overlooked a lovely beach. Ed was very patient as we set up lights and moved around slightly, ending up on the beach. Ed was very polite and interacted well with the public. Ed has only joined PP a few months ago and with some more variety in his posing and facial expressions will no doubt be a successful model.

I had my first shoot with Ed where we used Sowton studio Exeter hosted by Mr Dave.

Ed had a look that interested my for a style of image so was pleased he could make the shoot. Ed turned up with a good selection of outfits to go with my props and was well groomed for the shoot.

He also showed a great interest in how the set ups were carried out to gain more from the shoot. I found him very pleasant to work with and pleased to have added him to my portfolio as there are not many male models I feel.

To that end I can strongly recommend Ed for many styles of work.

My fourth shoot with Ed, and every time we shoot we just get better. Today was a two part shoot, first with Ed and his wife plus another female model for themed shoot, and everyone got on brilliantly, we worked as a team and created some great images.

The second part of the shoot was a little more personal for Ed, and I managed to use the gym for a series of gym images and again some incredibly strong stuff.

If you've not worked with Ed, then do so, his drive and determination is like no other.

Ed is a true professional when it comes to doing a photoshoot with him, he turns up early, well dressed, with extra clothes, and full of energy and ideas. He knows Exeter well and can help pick suitable locations for the shoot. This time accompanied by Helen his wife, to assist and join in the shoot. We all had a great day, working in lots of different locations in Exeter. Lots of great images and I am looking forward to working with Ed and Helen again in October,

Second shoot with Ed, and what a powerhouse this was. This time, He and his lovely wife, Helen travelled to me and we shot in my home studio.

Ed was prepared with a multitude of wardrobe options and accessories needed for our concept, and once again put his all into the shoot.

I don’t think anyone will ever find Ed to be lacking of the energy or stamina for whatever their shoot may entail. This man seems unstoppable!

We shot for many hours and he not only kept going but looked as fresh and ready in the last image as he did in the first! We also did a couples set and a solo set for Helen. All in all we achieved everything we planned for and more.

The only problem I have now is working through over 600 studio quality images to select and process!

If you need a male model, I cannot see how you will do better than by selecting Ed.

Thoroughly recommended!

I had a brilliant second shoot with Ed. We shot in some places which are local to both of us, which was convenient and we are lucky to have lots of good places to shoot here. We wanted to try an evening shoot for the light and the weather was just perfect.

This time Ed went for a more formal look and he looked very sharp indeed, with a great selection of clothes. Ed worked very hard to produce excellent results and we created loads of great images. I enjoy working with Ed - his communication is very good and he has lots of great ideas to add to a shoot and I hope to work with him again soon on something.

Thanks for an excellent shoot!

I had arranged a Dracula group shoot and I asked Ed to be Dracula. He said yes and was very enthusiastic during the pre comms and throughout the shoot itself. Ed was great to work with, he's very creative and is brilliant when it comes to posing. His beautiful wife, Helen, came along and filled in as Mina when the other model unfortunately had to cancel. Both Ed and Helen were absolutely perfect for the shoot and portrayed Mina and Draculas relationship perfectly. I hope to work with Ed again in the future.

Highly recommended.

Ed posed as Dracula in our first shoot together. His wife, Helen stood in as Mina in place another model who had to cancel. Kitty Karnage organised the shoot and played the part of Lucy.

Ed was brilliant with pre shoot communications, arrived completely prepared and on time. He was easy to work with carried out his part with presence and style. It was a pleasure to meet and work with this impressive man.

I would happily work with Ed again, and actually already have. Thoroughly recommended!

Ed and I had our third shoot today. I traveled to Ed's home and we shot in and around that. Three different locations, and as always Ed was well prepared, and keen to get these "just so" images. Pleasure working with Ed, and to meet his wife. Look forward to working work Ed again and definitely recommend Ed to anyone who wants an enthusiastic model who gives everything to the shoot.

MartinDilger

Edakay is a great guy and gives his all during a shoot. He plans what he likes, prepares for the shoot, but also likes to gain input and ideas for this. Highly recommended for his professional approach.

Ed and I had our second shoot today, what can I say that I didn't say the first time around. Pre shoot coms excellent, and Ed arrived ahead of time with a huge array of clothes. We did multiple outfit changes, more than the first shoot and the six hours soon flew. Look forward to working with Ed again in a few weeks.

Had a blast working with Ed earlier on today at Westonzoyland. Ed is a highly-skilled and extremely charismatic model in every way. To be honest you'll be hard-pushed to collaborate with anyone better - he is absolutely dedicated to his craft and it shows. Great communication from the start and overall just a top fella to join forces with.

As the Plague ebbed toward a lull, we seized the chance of an outdoor active shoot.

Ed was easy to make arrangments with, turned up with Helen and a selection of kit at the RV, and we all briskly ran through some static and moving shots.

It is nice being able to direct runners - usually when we photograph them they are trying to win - or finish - the race, so having a few goes at getting just the result we like was nice.

Easy to work with, amiable couple.

Ed came up with a concept to shoot and I was humbled when he asked me to come along to shoot! Really happy with what we did, as usual Ed posed flowly and worked with a variety of places we walked to! His expressions are phenomenal and like last time, he nailed it!

Cannot wait until I get to work with Ed again! What a talented human being!

I had a really good first shoot with Ed on Thursday. We met at a location that we both know and then had to do some walking to find some good places to shoot. Ed poses very well and has great look. We tried shooting a number of different outfits and I thought the shoot flowed very well and I am very pleased with the results. Ed is also very good to talk to between sets and I'm looking forward to working with him again soon. Highly recommended!

Wow ! Ed is such a outstanding model, He arrived on time with a suitcase full of different outfits to use during the shoot.

His pre communications was professional, smooth and very informed. He posed smoothly without any direction needed, He knew what poses complimented both his body and the outfits as well as he was happy to try any ideas I had in mind.

Ed is one of most versatile models I have had the pleasure of working with, Not only is he able to offer so many shoot styles but Ed has a true talent within modelling.

Don't miss your chance to work with Ed, I can see him going far within the industry.

I'm looking forward to the ideas we are planning next:)

Ed responded positively to my application for his casting and we had a really good collaborative conversation over a couple of weeks to plan out the shoot and agree what we wanted to achieve. He came fully prepared and had really spent a lot of time and effort thinking through the shoot and arming himself with the right clothing and accessories. During the shoot he was a dream to work with contributing his own posing ideas to the theme plus taking on board very positively the direction I was able to give. My only regret was that time passed so quickly and so enjoyably that we probably only covered about 1/3 of what we had planned to do - but that just makes organising a follow up shoot so much easier. Highly recommended!

It was great working with Ed. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and he showed up really well prepared for the shoot.

Ed is a true professional and puts his all in to his work. As well as being an excellent conversationalist.

We worked on the shots I wanted and tried some shots Ed wanted, overall it was a great shoot.

I would recommend working with Ed if you can.

Valentine's Eden

I really adored working with Ed! He was on time and prepared and communication throughout the shoot was top notch! We had a good laugh and managed to get through all the ideas we wanted, and it helped our ideas bounced off each other's a nd we had great chemistry! The shots look great in RAW I can't wait to show the post processed results!
