Bob accepted a very last minute shoot but took it in his stride. He was fully equipped with mood boards, kit and costumes for the theme. Pre & post comms were excellent and images were turned around extremely quickly. The iPad on location was a lovely touch.

Bob as a person is funny, caring and highly professional. He has that quality to immediately put people at ease which is great for new and experienced models.

I look forward to working with him again. :)

Bob helped me out with the colourisation of a 65 year old B&W wedding image. His efforts and the resulting image were exceptional and proved an excellent present. Thanks Bob.

Had my first shoot with Bob yesterday at my home and it was fab. Bob turned up on time, came prepared and had tons of cool ideas. Bob is a really lovely guy, very friendly, respectful and great fun too. We worked through a few different sets and Bob was a joy to work with.

Couldn't recommend him anymore, look forward to working together again :)

Bob booked half a day with me on my birthday this week! What a gent, bringing all manner of lovely birthday treats for me! We had a thoroughly enjoyable shoot, very productive and creative! Bob had a bag full of beautiful garments that I loved modelling, I felt comfortable modelling to art nude he was professional and respectful throughout I'd love to work with him again and can highly recommend him to others!

I hosted Bob at the studio today. He was well organised, knew what he wanted to shoot and from what I saw created some lovely images. He built a great rapport with his model and treated her with dignity and respect throughout. His relaxed working methods put the model at ease and I dare say they both thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. I'll happily have Bob back in the studio and I am more than happy to recommend Bob to models unreservedly.

I had my first shoot with Bob at the weekend, he arrived early to check out the studio before I got there. Bob bought a ton of great outfits and gorgeous lingerie with him which was brilliant for my portfolio!

We'd been planning the shoot for ages and Bob had some brilliant ideas, this made the shoot run very smoothy on the day.

I had a dream of a shoot with Bob, we giggled the whole day and he made me feel very at ease and completely comfortable shooting nude for only the second time!

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot with him again soon!

I worked with Bob for the second time on Saturday and, once again, had a very productive, enjoyable shoot. Bob is very professional, easy to get on with and worked tirelessly with me to achieve the images I was hoping for from our themed shoot. He also threw in plenty of his own ideas to make sure we got the most out of the day. Ended up with fantastic shots and I was very pleased with the outcome of the day. I'm sure I will continue shooting with Bob and would always recommend him to new and experienced models alike.

I had my second shoot with Bob yesterday. As the day of love draws near, we decided to do a Valentine themed shoot. Bob was very professional and had lots of great ideas, allowing me to contribute with my own to. We got a fantastic set of photos and I look forward to working with him in the future. Definitely recommended. :)

I had a fantastic studio shoot with Bob today; a talented and experienced photographer with a professional attitude and a sense of humour that will put anyone at ease even if you are a new model just starting out.

I was shown the images as they were taken so that I knew exactly what we were capturing and could improve my poses; perfect for me, having not had too much experience yet.

He was open to all of my ideas and had plenty of his own to help create an abundance of fantastic images.

Bob also kindly drove me to and from the studio and generously agreed to work on a TF basis to help get me started on building my portfolio.

Great guy, great day, would definitely recommend- really hoping to schedule another booking!

I went to a modelling workshop which Bob was giving us all advice on photography and modelling. As a first time model I found this workshop very helpful and gained a lot of knowledge of how the industry works. I would really encourage first time models to attend one of these as its an excellent starting point and you learn a lot of tips of the trade!

Bob photographed me in the Pozers studio and made me feel completely at ease, we got to see our photographs on the day projected onto the wall, which was helpful to the models as we could try perfect our next pose! We also walked to the beautiful gardens and had some outside shots.

all in all Bob makes you feel very comfortable, cracking the odd joke and I loved his photography and the ideas he helped me come up with. would love to shoot again with him.

Fat bloke booked several hours on my charity studio day.

I thouraly enjoyed working together and the results, which he showed me as he took them so we could discuss changes and improvements, are amazing.

He was relaxed and easy to work with yet our time was very productive.

I can't wait to organise our next shoot!

I had a workshop day at Pozers studio, with FatBloke as the photographer.

Firstly, the amount of work that Bob put in to preparing for the workshop day was amazing. Ready made slides, conversation topics, pointers and tips were free flowing, I feel that I gained some amazing advice from Bob and a really good perspective from the other side of the camera.

Photographically Bob was brilliant, he managed two models with fourish outfit changes, multiple light set ups and a variety of other factors whilst being totally patient, kind and supportive! I felt like I could really communicate with Bob in regards to what I needed to do to acheive the right expression, and I received some brilliant feedback.

I will most definitely shoot with Bob again as soon as I can, I have a feeling I can learn so much more!

Bob was on photography duties at a model workshop I was invited to coach/teach at yesterday. He did an amazing job, the students seemed very comfortable around him and he got some fantastic shots that I think will be really valuable to their portfolios (and hopefully a big confidence boost too!) Would love to work together again in future & wouldn't hesitate to recommend shooting with Bob :)

What can I say about FatBloke ??? I was really honoured when Bob offered to assist me on creating a collection of model workshops at my studio. These particular workshops, are for new models in the industry with very little or no experience whatsoever,basically to teach them model safety, body confidence, photographic etiquette, posing eye etc. Bob created some phenomenal power point slides, which he displayed on our walls with his fab and technical projector. Bob immediately made the models feel at ease, and by the end of the day he had given them real confidence in front of the camera, he was amazing. The images are already looking amazing, and giving all the models something wonderful and unique, a great way of starting off their portfolio. Bob is a total gentleman and I really can't think of anyone who,could have presented themselves more professionally than he did. His guidance for posing new models is an amazing technique, and his manner made them feel so relaxed and comfortable by the end of the day, which with some of models, I didn't think I would see evolve so quickly. Bob helped me so much yesterday and I really can't thank him enough for all his help, making our very first modelling workshop a total success. This fabulous photgrapher is a five star gentleman and a first class photgrapher, bags of fun, packed loaded with technology and really kind and caring. Perfect day thanks to all your hard work Bob, thank you so much.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Bob. Bob went out of his way to come and shoot, even when he had a bad back which is pure dedication! Bob is very professional with great ideas and we tried something new. We weren't sure how things were going to turn out, but to his credit, it worked out really well. (Not that I doubted his talent!) We also added other ideas to the shoot that weren't planned but that's all part of the fun! I very much look forward to working with him again in the future. We already have new ideas! Definitely recommended to everyone :)

I cant say enough good things about fat-bloke!

I have known him for a bit now and he's just a crazy, silly, old dude.

Always smiling joking laughing, making you feel so comfortable you forget your shooting.

He communicates well before the shoot to make sure everyone involved is on the same page. And is very creative and organized!

I would work with fat-bloke again and again and again!

PoZersPhotography

What can I say about FatBloke ? PoZers had the pleasure of hosting their first shoot with FatBloke today and the entire day was fabulous. FatBloke pre-shoot communication was second to none, he sent us moodboards, we had long chats, group conversations, the works, and this kept everyone in the loop of everything that would love to be achieved from today's shoot. FatBloke provided two very different models and created two very different themes during his stay today and they were both really creative. FatBloke was exceptionally punctual, so organised with an amazing kit that was the most phenomenal studio kit I have seen to date. FatBloke brought along clothing, accessories, material and scissors for a stunning slashed dress which he proceeded to slash with the model in the clothing to ensure the slashes and ladders covered up what was necessary. Both models were made to feel relaxed and the entire shoot was made to feel fun and calming, and FatBloke still achieved the images he wanted which was awesome. Both models felt well directed and at ease and watching a photographer take on the job of stylist/designer and photographer all in one session was pretty awesome. I really can't recommend FatBloke highly enough, a first class gentleman, A* photographer and genuinely kind and caring photographer which is everything you look for in a photographer. Hope to see him again very soon at PoZers once again. Fabulous day and such a pleasure to work with.
