Another fab set of shoots over at colins studio pathway. I was there to do a studio day and also to model for the club evening he organised. I also had a few shoots around the area so he was kind enough to offer me some accommodation during my stay. I always love coming to visit the studio. Me and colin also did a bit of shooting whilst i was around. We worked through a few different looks and i loved the images we made. Colin is a lovely person and i would recommend him to anyone. Thanks a lot for another great visit and shoot.

Colin is my go to, not just for amazing work but also for a nice time. I have never met someone so warm, friendly and hospitable. The wonderful vision he has and pictures he takes are a bonus! Colin and his studio come highly recommended by me and I regularly hold studio days there. Thank you for everything Colin x

How much can you do in an hour? It turns out plenty!

Colin has a relaxed yet extremely productive shooting style.

I appreciated how he made sure that lighting was set up right before we bashed through each set!

We did a good mix of colour clash quirky fashion and fashion nude. I absolutely loved the pictures I saw on the back of the camera.

Such a lovely, friendly guy too!

Collin is such a lovely person to shoot with, yesterday we shot for the second time together and I can see us doing many more shoots in the near future. We worked with an incredible MUA (The Velvet Unicorn) and created green tribal body paint. The photos are fantastic and I can't wait to add them to my portfolio.

I love working with Colin and coming to Pathways! I’m always chuffed to see Colin get his camera out and he always has mad quirky ideas so we’re a good fit when shooting! He’s one of the nicest and most genuine people you will come across in this industry. He really bends over backwards to make sure his models are well looked after and nothing is too much trouble ever. I always feel so at home at Pathways... Colin IS Pathways, a lovely gentleman with years of experience and photographic knowledge under his belt. I have a lot of respect for this gentleman both as a photographer and as a person. A firm friend. If you haven’t shot with Colin, he’s the easiest to shoot with and his shoots are always fill of fun and energy!

Always highly recommended by me.

Best wishes

Xx

Yesterday me and Collin had a great shoot together, he is a very fun guy and we chatted through out. We shot a range of beautiful monochrome headshots, coloured gels and high key fashion at Pathway Studios.

The photos looked incredible! Pre-shoot communication was great and Collin was happy to follow the ideas I wanted for my portfolio. Overall it was a great few hours and would happily shoot again. Would definitely recommend shooting with Collin to other models.

It was a real pleasure meeting and working with Colin for the first time during my first studio weekend at his studio Pathway Studios in Chester recently. We had the most quirky shoot which was short but sweet with fantastic results.

We instantly clicked, Colin is so friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, passionate and professional, a complete gentleman and it was a real joy meeting him and having the opportunity to host at his studio and work together with such an experienced and exceptional photographer. Colin had picked me up in the morning before our studio day and even dropped me off the next day after our studio day at the train station and bought me some tasty breakfast. Thank you for that. :)

He is such a skilled photographer with some very out of the box and quirky ideas, we had a very creative shoot for just under an hour and produced some excellent images together. Even though Colin had been up since the crack of dawn he was on the ball and full of vision, enthusiasm and energy to do a shoot with me at the end of the day. You would think we were both tired but we did not want to miss out on the opportunity to do a shoot and had so much fun.

I highly recommend Colin, do not miss out on the opportunity to work with him, you will love his ideas, have a lot of fun and produce some amazing images with a wonderful person and talented photographer leaving with a smile.

Thank you so much Colin.

Until next time.

I had a fantastic shoot with Colin recently at Delamere Forest where we strolled around in the rain, chatting and giggling away like nothing phased us!

We got some genuinely stunning shots of some of my favourite clothing to shoot, and guess what? It was all his idea!

Colin is one of those lovable people whom you can just click with right away, I've been at his studio a number of times now and we always manage to get a shoot in ourselves. I couldn't sing his praises enough, always the character and forever an absolute gent who will have you giggling for hours.

Cannot wait to see him again, not only to create, but to hang out too!

Recommended to all models 100%!

I had a wonderful four days at Pathways Studios , Collin is a fantastic host . However he couldn't just stand by and watch everyone else shoot me so we fitted in a quick hour ;) .

It was one of the maddest hours of my life , fitting in a lot of quirky and some unorthodox sets . Some may not of worked , but hey it was a hell of a lot of fun . I loved working with Collin .

Collin knows what is doing , has a creative mind , and a great sense of humour .

Thanks Jessica x

I had a great time over at pathway studio for a few days recently. Colin was nice enough to put me up for a few nights in his home. I felt totally safe and looked after. I really don’t know anyone nicer than Colin. We also had the chance to shoot together during my stay which was good fun. Colin had a few ideas to work on during the shoot which is always good. We totally nailed them and I really enjoyed having a fun shoot. I would recommend him to anyone and can’t wait to come back again. Tanks a lot for having me.

As always, me and Colin had a fantastic shoot!

He is so much fun to work with, he's always full of ideas and the time goes so quickly, too quickly.

He's such a great photographer to work with, we always get great images and I always look forward to our shoots!

Like always, I cant wait for next time.

I could not recommend him enough!

I called into see Colin for a coffee and to make some plans for 2019 while I was in the area on another shoot. Of course, we couldn’t resist squeezing a little 30 minuet session in with glitter, inflatables, pink and well lots of shiny too! - safe to say I was in my eliment!

Honestly, it is always a pleasure to see Colin and even more so to get some wonderful images.

Thankyou, see you soon!

I had photoshoot with Colin yesterday. He was so down to earth and friendly and made me feel relaxed and at ease. We had lots of fun during the shoot and Colin is a great artist and very creative. I can't wait to shoot with him again. Highly recommended.

I had another fantastic shoot with Colin yesterday and yet again I was reminded why I always love working with him! He's a fantastic conversationalist and he was as relaxed yet professional as ever.

Definitely hope to work with him again soon and I would 100% recommend working with him. Thank you again!

I would HIGHLY recommend working with Colin, not only is he a lovely person, he is also super talented at what he does. Colin had great ideas for our images and they have turned out amazing and have given me something different to add to my portfolio. We have plans for future shoots which I am already excited about! Thank you again x

I had my third shoot with Colin last week and as always thoroughly enjoyed myself! He is incredibly easy to work with and very relaxed whilst still being professional.

I would highly recommend working with him and look forward to hopefully doing so again in the future myself.

Great fun shoot and great fun photographer!

i had a studio day organised by Colin and it was utter pleasure to work with him and the photographers who attended as well!

Colin kindly offered me accommodation for 2 nights due to an unfortunate way things panned out with my accommodation that fell through.

Cant wait to shoot with him again!

Kelsey Wolfe

I had my second shoot with Colin this week, and as always, it was an absolute delight!

Colin invited me to his studio club night in Chester, Pathway Studios. We had a 1:1 shoot first followed by the club night with other photographers.

Colin is always a very positive, fun character to work with who's always up for something weird and wonderful! He's a true gent, and a fantastic photographer.

Until next time Colin! Thank You

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Colin booked a slot on my studio day and I am so pleased he did. He was friendly, chatty, creative and just a joy to work with. We worked really well together and the photos I just love! I would highly recommend working with him and I hope I get the chance to work with him again! Thanks so much Colin for an epic shoot and studio day!
