I shot with Peter for two days in Sweden alongside Nicole Rayner.

Peter is soo awesome to shoot with, I love working with him. He was so receptive of any ideas we had (and there was TWO OF US! - poor Peter! Hehe) as well as being relaxed, kind, friendly and so hospitable. He really looked after us, making sure our travel logistics was good and organising a beautiful hotel room.

Highly highly recommended and I can’t wait to shoot with him again in May :)

Another awesome shoot with Peter! This time on a duo with model Ayla Rose in Sweden.

Peter really looked after us, took some fantastic images and was professional throughout.

He has such a creative eye and I love love working with him!

Highly recommended

Peter is one of my absolutely favourite photographers to work with! We've shot several times now in a few different countries and we always get on like a house on fire, shooting a wide range of different styles of image.

This time, we went to a gorgeous woodland and dramatic coastline in Sweden. He made sure I had a place to stay the night before, and as always he makes sure I am fed, watered, comfortable and safe shooting. We had a very chilled-out shoot with fun, frantic bits in between where we were waiting for the sun and clouds to co-operate then jumping into place to take advantage of the light, haha! Later, he made sure I was back at the ferry port in time to make my airport connection, taking me via coffee and my favourite Swedish treats- which I really appreciated!

Peter absolutely rocks- he's so talented and as always, I love working together. I would recommend him to any model! Thankyou again for such a great shoot. :)

Another awesome shoot with Peter. We never seem to have much luck with the weather unfortunately but this time we really managed to make the most of what we did have. we had some stunning light and gorgeous locations, lots of lively chat and I even got in the water at one point. Due to weather issues in the past we had booked a hotel also and after getting absolutely drenched on the way back, managed some beautiful low light portraits at the end of our day. I love working with Peter and I hope its not too long until we do so again.

Very very highly recommended by me :)

Oh my word --- I always have THE best time with Peter!!! He is one of my all time favourite photographers to work with and I feel so lucky that I got to spend 2 days with him shooting in Sweden!!! :D

Peter shot me twice in England and I had discussed visiting his country to shoot - he was SO helpful, suggesting places I should go, the best way to travel, suggesting photographers to contact whilst I was visiting! - SO helpful and I am so so glad I made the trip!

Myself and Peter shot for 2 days! He Kindly came to meet me at the Ferry and escort me to the wonderful hotel I was staying in that Peter had helped me set up. Peter had planned a wonderful two days for us and I was VERY excited to see what we could get!!

Shooting with Peter Is always Super relaxed!! It barely feels like work at all! He is a wonderful photographer and really knows what he os doing! He understands light and always adapts appropriately to the situation! Working with Peter is always a great collaboration as we work together for the final result! He listens and tries any ideas I have, even if that means he is nearly wetting himself watching me climb a dead tree!

I love how creative Peter is and I love his general attitude to life and to shoots!! Sadly the first day we had was pretty awful weather and we had to stop a lot earlier than we would have liked! We tried shooting in my hotel room, but in the end Peter suggested we just stoped and made the most of the next day! We planned to get up earlier the next day to make up for it - however I made a totally stupid mistake, and my phone somehow set to English Time and not Swedish time zone, so the next morning when Peter was knocking at my door expecting me to be ready I was still in bed! Thankfully Peter is a truly understanding person and saw the funny side! I was of course devastated and felt terrible - so I was so pleased that it was with Peter - a lovely person who did not make me fee even worse about the situation but instead accepted it and continued to make the most of the time we had.!

I have to say that I am SO SO proud of what Peter and I created together!!! Some of the best images of my career I think and I thank Peter for being the photographer that took them! He has already edited and sent me some truly beautiful shots that I adore and I am so so excited to share them with the word!!! Over the two days we got such a wonderful range of shots and genres.!

I will always remember taking shelter from the rain with Peter, and I will always remember his worried tone touting my name as he heard me scream whilst climbing on rocks! Some truly wonderful memories have been made with Peter and Beautiful images to go with those memories.

Oh and lets not forget how Peter always always makes sure his models are happy, fed, comfortable with what they are doing etc! He really is one of the loveliest people ever!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE working with him!!! Helps that he is super cool and amazing to hang our with too!!!! I cannot wait for our next shoot!! Highly recommended it goes without saying!!!

Peter Engdahl is hands down one the very BEST and NICEST photographers to work with. I dont really know what more to put down than that! You can see from his other references how highly regarded he is!

He is super chilled, very respectful, awesome company! I really do love working with him.

Unfortunately on the day we had some pretty rubbish weather but I hope to come back again next year and smash out some more awesome shots with him!

Very highly recommended by me!

Well, my first shoot with Peter went something like this:

Met up at an elite secret meeting site at the centre of travel in Denmark (the donut shop at Copenhagen train station), proceeded to dodge wild herds and reptiles in the undergrowth as we took bursts to snatch photographic file opportunities (saw a lot of deer in the pretty deer park where we shot, I also saw a lizard but he didn't want to come home with me), proceeded to the urban city streets where we were presented with a suspicious concoction upon bursting into a premises to escape the rain (found a fun smoothie shop for lunch break serving actually really tasty smoothies), returned to our mission to seize the photographic evidence that a crazy model was running riot in Denmark - she had now taken to the city (relatively accurate) and finally: making drastic measures to escape our unexpected entrapment which saw us locked in the yard of a church which closed after 4pm... We had no choice but to take on the spired enclosure and jump it to freedom! (that actually did happen).

They say if you're going to do it, at least make an impact! :D I think that's exactly what Peter and I did... For sure, without doubt. We had a day packed with buzz and creativity, delicious smoothies and more laughs than the human body should be physically able to manage in one day! Peter is just a diamond of a person to shoot with and I quite honestly enjoyed every minute of the photo shoot we had together in Denmark on my European mega tour this summer. It was a challenge coordinating everything (as always is with tours) as I had flights that evening and Peter actually resides across the border in Sweden but we mad it work with a bang and it truly rocked! :D One of those shoots for sure where you look back and giggle a little.

So we got a beautiful mix of styles in the bag during our shoot: a variety that consisted of artistic nude in the fantastic location that came from Peter's recommendation: the deer park was literally a Keira haven... I mean, trees everywhere, broken and upright. It's inevitable what's going to happen really. :P But with every pose and crazy position I got myself into, Peter bounced back with epic photography skills and made a gorgeous photograph out of it. Before the rain came for a spell at lunch time, we had some lovely rays of sun and it was great because the park provided so many opportunities to be creative with the light. Peter took it in his stride with every last challenge in composing the shot and managing the settings and even around a single fallen-down tree, the yield we got was simply insane! We then went on to do some stunning portraiture and street fashion work back in Copenhagen. Peter switched into that fashion photographer in a click, and before we knew it: absolutely stunning city-style shots with all manner of qualities from editorial sass to a bit of risqué with Peter dashing here and there to make the moment as ace as possible, switching to his lens baby occasionally to add an extra creative touch - He has a massive amount of passion to bring to his shoots and that enthusiastic vibe just bounces back and forth between the team flow. It's just the best way of working with any shoot when the sheer love for what you do is there. Again, locations all recommended by Peter who knows exactly where to go for good pictures... With it being my first visit to Denmark it was so brilliant having his knowledge of these cool places. But let's face it, did the shoot even happen if you didn't get accidentally locked in the church grounds? ;)

Peter is a top gentleman. Really courteous and easy going, respectful and professional from when you first start chatting about the shoot in pre-comm's to when the final shot is taken. It was a pleasure working with him and I felt comfortable, chilled and well looked after. He so kindly offered to buy me lunch when we stopped for a break, and the whole day just went at a good pace which gave us a massive amount of productivity, and lots of upbeat vibes too. It was the most exciting thing ever looking at the back of the camera and trying to contain yourself! Peter also so generously let me do my back-of-camera snaps as well as keeping in touch after and sending over some proofs to choose some images I liked! What a cracking day in so many ways. Some shoots just rock to the moon and back, this was one of those shoots. :D

Very, very highly recommended! I just cannot wait to shoot with Peter again the next time I visit Denmark/Sweden or the next time he visits the UK!

Thank you so much Peter!

I had my second shoot with Peter this time in Sweden! What a spectacular day it was! Peter had organised the most wonderful costal locations, which where excellent for climbing, posing and having some modelling fun all the while Peter capturing some epic shots!

I hope to work with Peter again in the future and I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to all models.

I worked with the love Peter for the second time.

Peter is such a genuine person and is an absolute pleasure to be around. On the day of the shoot I actually had some issues which he was so understanding about and I will be forever grateful for that.

He is an amazing photographer and his eye for colour tones in his post processing is epic.

He comes highly recommended from me and I hope I shoot get to shoot with him again!

Finally got a chance to shoot with Peter during his uk tour, we got to shoot in the amazing Beltcraft studios in London, despite both of us having issues getting to the location at first Peter arrived relaxed and ready to shoot, we captured some beautiful shots.

Peter is a great photographer to work with, polite, professional, easy to talk to and very creative.

Highly recommended

What can I say about Peter?!

Well he's EPIC for a start!

He booked me whilst on a massive tour to the UK, at Beltcraft Studio in London - never have I met such a laid back and fabulous person, Peter is awesome to talk to and was ever so interesting!

The way with his camera was just breathtaking - the guy knows his stuff and used the light in a beautiful way ♥

I do hope to work with this legend again as I cannot recommend the magical Peter enough to all models and creatives!

What an amazing shoot 😊

I was lucky enough to have a second shot with Peter, this time in my hometown York. Peter Kindly travelled to work with me and I am so glad that he did as we had such a great day together!!

Working with Peter is not work - its just fun!! we had such a great day and I think we managed to get even better shots than our first shoot! I mean the back of the camera shots looks bloody beautiful!! I am so proud to be part of the shots! I think they are my some of my favourite ever taken!

we had such a relaxed day full of lots of laughs and lots of breaks - a lovely lunch. Yet we still managed to get so many wonderful sets done as well as taking a trip around York. And so much variety in our shots also! every set as great as the other!! :D But when you're having so much fun then of course you're going to get great shots!!

Peter does not mess about - he knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to shooting! He is always respectful and professional and just so great to work with!! If only he didn't live in Sweden!! Though I will. be taking a trip there just tp get anther shoot in with him! He's that great to work with! So of course, highly recommended!!

I'm so happy that Peter reached out to me on my casting call to Copenhagen, but as it turned out, Peter was going to be in Wales where I live and we settled for a home shoot in my neck of the woods instead! It worked out so well and Peter shot at my home (on his birthday too, and I was flattered to have shot with him). We got some lovely intimate nudes, and some casual jeans and jumper shots outside! Nothing over complicated, and simple really is better most of the time! The shots were amazing, raw, natural, authentic- everything I love in a shoot! I would love to work with Peter again on some amazing location next time!

Peter is a great photographer, kind and humble and we had lovely conversation too, which makes the shoot relaxed and creates better shots!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your shoots in the UK and I hope our paths cross again, maybe in Sweden or Copenhagen!

Cheers, Angharada x

So this shoot has been in the diary for quite some time.... Peter had messaged me some months ago asking to shoot while he was over from Denmark. He was particularly interested in the Welsh countryside and coastline! The day drew nearer and we started to get a little bit nervous about the weather. A couple of quick phone chats later however and we were all sorted with a loose plan in case we experienced a deluge.

Peter was staying in a central Cardiff Hotel which was ideal for some available light shots to kick start the day, and wait for those little showers to pass. I was struck by how friendly and welcoming Peter was, and instantly felt at ease. Very quickly we were bouncing ideas off each other, checking the back of the camera and perfecting sets/shots. We popped off to grab some lunch before heading outside into the wilderness. Again Peter was great... really understanding of the elements and we got some great shots at a waterfall and later by the coastline in near gale force windows (I nearly took off).

All in all i had a great day - Peter was good company, fun to be around, easy to shoot with, and we were on the same wavelength in terms of shots and effects we wanted to produce.

I hope we get to work together again in the not too distant future - Highly Recommended.

A second great shoot with Peter when we were both in London April 2018! We had the weather against us but still made it work and I am looking forward to see the photos. Peter is a laid back guy and great photographer, very easy going and fun to work with. On to the next time! :)

Nicole Rayner

I had the pleasure of working with Peter at a studio in London recently! I had seen his work and was very excited to shoot with him as he is a very talented photographer! Then we started chatting online and I became even more excited as he came across as a very genuine and interesting person.

Well, he turned up and all my expectations were met!! Peter was lovely! I felt for him on the day as he was battling a terrible cold! Though he powered through!!

We were slightly limited by the space - however I think together we created some images to be proud of!! Peter is a very talented and he captured some lovely shots! His compositions were stunning and I felt like he captured me at my best!

He has a great personality - very interesting to talk with and a great laugh! I am excited for working with him more in the future. Would highly reccomend him!!

Ayla

I worked with the lovely Peter again for the second time this year.

Peter has quickly become one of my favourite people to work with! We bounce ideas around so easily and he captures me so beautifully that I adore so many of the images we've created already.

Excellent with pre comms, and is so lovely, so genuine, laid back and has a fantastic attitude and positive vibe.

Highly reccomended and I look forward to shoot number 3!

Another fantastic shoot with Peter and this time despite the threat of bad weather we went on a mini adventure around Camden Town to capture several kinds of casual/alt fashion and a film noir style trench coat in Primrose Hill.

Peter is a super lovely person, great fun to work with and talk to, and we spend so much time laughing and excitedly lookin g at our shots as well as actually shooting. :D

Highly recommended and I can't wait to work together again.

I had the pleasure of working with Peter during my Scandinavian tour. We worked on location in Denmark and he was very professional, a lovely person and easy to get on with. I had a great time working with him and looking forward to doing so again. Very highly recommended!
