Ed and I arranged a fairly last minute remote shoot but from his superb communication skills you'd never know it was last minute!

He communicated with me quickly and efficiently and within a few messages we had the shoot booked. He knew what he wanted to work on and between us we achieved what he wanted!

Ed was polite and professional throughout and we got along really well which definitely helped! We captured some stunning images and it's clear that Ed has a good eye for photography, picking up on hot spots quickly and adjusting his settings accordingly. Ed helped with styling suggestions to pair nicely with the sets as well.

Ed and I had a very productive 2 hour shoot and I definitely recommend him to other creatives. I look forward to what we create next!

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

Eddie shot me at HD studio newcastles model night for the 2nd time now and i was overjoyed to see that he had booked on again! Eddie is such an enthusiastic photographer and creative too, always looking to try new ideas to get a unique shot. The images he produces speak for themselves as they really are stunning!

Id definitely recommend eddie and looking forward to working with him again.

Ed booked me for a 2 hour shoot in a hotel he booked.

He chose the hotel really well, it was perfect for the sets we did.

Ed was relaxed yet productive in his shooting style and we got a lot done in a short time.

Thankfully he embraced my crazy side so we were able to do some really creative and different stuff!

I had a blast working with him and I hope to work with him again soon :)

Ed attended a group shoot event I was shooting at in HD studio in Newcastle recently! Amongst the large group of photographers present, Ed was original with his creative approach and confident in his abilities! As well as polite and chatty!

I thoroughly enjoyed our time working together though it flew by and love the shots we captured! I hope to work with them again soon and would recommend them!!

Yessssss!!! We did it, at last! :D You wouldn't believe how long Ed and I had been in touch - a shoot together was on the "must do" list for longer than I can even recall because he'd enthusiastically shown an interest on occasions when I had been in the area/casting my availability where we juuuuust didn't quite manage to coordinate both our diaries. So I had also made a conscious effort to keep Ed in the loop when I was back up/passing through... It took a few goes before we both had free matching dates, but; boy it was worth the wait in every sense! We rocked and we rolled at the brilliant HD Studio in Newcastle... The images were simply mega!

Even though the availability matching wasn't the easiest to achieve in the beginning, Ed has always been a fantastic communicator and would always get back to me. When we had pinned a date down for our shoot, he was brilliant with pre-communications because I was touring Europe at the time and then started my Scottish tour very soon after getting back from that (to which my Newcastle mini-tour was tagged on the back of) so I had A LOT of shoots to prep for in-between trips. Ed was clear and concise about the shots he wanted to try, he had epic visions and creative interests that he described to me so I was already able to get a feel for where he wanted to go with the shoot before the day came around and that is great from a prepping point of view. :)

We got stuck into the first set and everything just fell into place. Ed was happy to let me do my thing but communicated well if there was something particularly beautiful which he spotted as I posed. He certainly regards models as a very important team member in the whole process and welcomes input they may have in wardrobe/ideas etc. He is just a really fabulous chap to work with all-in-all and made it effortless for a good rapport to form itself and the creativity to emerge from one concept to the next. Furthermore: Ed is a genuinely passionate photographer whose natural interest and skill for the process comes out as he works. He takes care to perfect the light and compose the whole thing beautifully to generate some very strong images. Trouble is, when there are so many strong images... it becomes hard to find one you don't like! :P Ed ever so kindly let me take some back-of-camera shots for my behind the scenes shenanigans - and then even kindly began pinging me insanely wicked edits after too! There really is nothing like seeing them in full beauty after the shoot. There is a lot of enjoyment in working with amazing people like Ed, and when you see the finished product it reinstates that and reminds you of the awesomeness on the day! :)

Super professional, dons the best courtesy, respects models/their levels from start to finish and whatever the models limits, is good fun to work with/someone you can enjoy a chatter with as you shoot, is super relaxed and doesn't rush the shoot... I think I have just about covered everything! But ultimately I think it's clear that I really recommend this gent. :)

Thank you Ed!

Ed and I have worked together on shoots literally years apart... But I can wholeheartedly confirm that the stupendous rapport and utterly MAD levels of productivity have remained very much constant/unchanged! 🤩

Latest shoot - Ed popped down to the tropics of Yorkshire this time! It was brilliant because in the sheer efficiency of the pre-shoot communications and everything; it was arranged in a few short messages and the next thing we knew: we had an epic reunion to look forward to where we would not only get to explore some fun locations in my neck of the woods, but do some studio-style ideas too! As I say - time may have passed by between shoots, but the yield hadn’t changed with this awesome chap! 🙌 Ed really got into and nailed every scenario that was bestowed before him - despite going in blindfolded (in terms of being unfamiliar with the shooting spaces etc. and lighting) he got TOTALLY in his he zone and it was so lovely seeing him exert his artistic and techi brains once more. ☺️

First things first: we headed out and and about whilst the weather was reasonable! Two great locations of total contrast to each other: artsy nymph vibes in the woods, followed by post-apocalyptic urbex goodness! Ed saw shot opportunities across the board at both places and worked like a trooper with the ever-changing light conditions. His fine eye for detail and “catching the moment” meant that we worked little crevasses, pools of light and made some utterly spectacular shots out of sometimes the most simple concepts. That’s photography though - seeing the shot! And if anyone can do that - it’s Ed! 👌

For the latter half of the shoot, we retreated back to my indoor space that I have access to for more studio-style shots. Even though one would think that this is a more straightforward/predictable space to work in, Ed literally made magic once again and got well and truly stuck in with the resources available to him. Even bringing his own ideas and inspiration - he really is that photographer who thinks about what he would like to try and achieve and adds care and attention to the creative process from the start. Again: dynamic artistic images, through to downright emotive madness haha! We did a whole range! By the end of the shoot it was crazy to think just how much variety we had actually covered! 👀

To wrap it up - what a star this gentleman is to work with. 😊 I mean that in just how professional and decent his approach is as a photographer, and also how nice a person he is in general! His demeanour is completely good-nature through and through... He’s friendly and fun all the while being respectful and courteous. Most definitely a good egg!

1 million percent it’s a high recommendation from me! 😁 Thank you so much Ed!

Another fab shoot with Ed at my home!

He is super easy to work with, really chatty and bubbly character which makes the whole shoot fly by! Honestly felt like he had only been there 10minutes!

Really lovely, genuine person and would happily recommend him :D

I had a super shoot with Ed at my home :)

We got through a range of different looks and had such a good laugh/natter during the shoot. Infact we may of talked more than we shot haha!!

But the photos speak for themselves and the ones he's sent over to me on dropbox are seriously nice!

The shoot was just really good fun and the time flew by!

I would without a doubt recommend him and hope to work with him again soon :D

We bounced lots of creative ideas about before the shoot, then shot together in my hotel room, which proved challenging as was smaller than expected, but he made it work. Was nice that he was also open to my input, which made for a real collaborative shoot. Got some wonderfully creative and sensuous shots, thank you!

My shoot with Eddie flew by - he was great to work with, genuine and respectful - highly recommended!

Ed was one of the few lucky delegates that worked with John Denton, another model and myself on the South bank of London for a masterclass in lighting outdoor fashion (ie: Urban Safari.)

Despite the cold and miserable weather, Ed was an absolute star in keeping the mood light and being a great, supportive member of the team. His skills in communicating were excellent and had a keen eye for opportunities around the set.

I have been impressed with his work and he shows a real understanding of photographic composition- something that cannot be easily taught.

Overall, great guy with humour, confidence, good communication and good eye for lovely pictures. Would work with him again very happily.

I had a brilliant shoot with Eddie today.. Great communication beforehand meaning that the shoot was easy to arrange and we discussed the styles that we would be covering too.

As soon as I met Eddie I felt totally comfortable and at ease with him, he is a lovely, genuine person, very respectful and easy to get along and work with, we had a really good laugh and the shoot was really fun.. The time went by in a flash!

Eddie is a talented photographer and very creative, I loved the ideas that he had for our shoot and loved the images we created too.

I can't praise Eddie highly enough and hope to have the opportunity of working with him in the future.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for a fab shoot, Amy x

I asked Eddie if he wouldnt mind me working on some of his unedited images as I wanted to bulk up my retouching portfolio.

He agreed and provided me with some gorgeous pictures to work on. He gave me very good feedback and we published the images with both our watermarks.

He is a great photographer and a pleasure to be in communication with. I hope I can work on more of his images as its a real joy.

Worked with Eddie on a group shoot at my local studio, it was fab to see him again and work with him properly as the last time he was a photographer on a catwalk I was taking part in.

Great guy, easy to get on with and a breeze to work for.

Really enjoyed the shoot and hope to work with him in the future :)

Highly recommended

I worked with Eddie on a group shoot a couple of weeks ago at Loud and Flashy Studio. I found him to be very friendly, very genuine and respectful of me whilst he was part of a group of 5 photographers. He had his own ideas which were very creative and from this the results were amazing. I felt at ease working with Eddie and I would certainly love to work with him, it was a pleasure.

Highly Recommended
