I had a great second shoot with Arfon a couple of weeks ago. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and the date was quickly sorted. We went to two locations that day - blessed with the incredible weather we have been having, we were mindful of too much direct sunlight. Arfon took us to a wonderful shaded gorge that was thankfully very empty until the near the end of our time there. beautiful pools of water, carved rock - my favourite! Out next location was more of a walk, and also more of a challenge shoot wise, as it seemed everyone in the North Wales had had the same idea. We still gt a few good shots though and managed to finish off our day with some beautiful portraits by a shaded bridge. Arfo is very easy to get on with and there was lots of chat and banter. I had a really great day and I'm looking forward to sharing the images.

Highly recommended.

What a lovely person to work with. Made me feel so comfortable and was funny and had a lot of fun. I was really pleased to ask to join the shoot by lora. And poor Arfon had a puncture in his tyre which turned into a horrible ordeal, which meant he wasn’t able to shoot with as for as long as planned, but it was so stressful and completely out of his control and I he handled everything like a professional. But we made up for it in the end. Honestly a lovely gent and so great to work with. And he is so talented . His work speaks wonders. I 110% recommend him. I feel grateful to have met him and work with him along with lora who’s a friend. And I hope Arfon was happy with what we managed to get done in less time that originally planned. Had an amazing time 😄

What a dude!

Arfon is awesome to work with. He kindly picked me up from the place I was staying at and we proceeded on to do a crazy adventure around some fantastic locations in North Wales. Although, we did take the wrong turn at a stage in our adventure, Arfon was able to improvise and come up with an alternative plan so, that all was not lost.

I enjoyed seeing the results on the back of the camera. People often feel tired and grumpy early in the morning, we were both shattered but, Arfon was still a pleasure to be around.

He is a creative photographer, I enjoyed working on his ideas. In all the shoot was fantastic!

I most highly recommend Arfon to all without any reservations.

I actually met fidster when he was shooting one of my friends, it was her first ever shoot and she had contacted him so she was a little nervous and not sure what to expect so I went along.

He was really easy to work with in that data and made my friend feel more than comfortable and was patient with her while she found angles that she was happy with.

I think worked with him myself at a studio evening in Chester at pathways and we clicked straight away and found it really easy to get started as we had already met.

I felt comfortable with fidster and he made it clear what i.age he wanted to achieve and I think managed to get a few great images from what I have seen on Instagram.

I definitely recommend you work with fidster if you have the opportunity as it's a great experience :)

Arfon brought me cake and choccies for my birthday :)

He is a legend and is such a respectful dude, who is very comfortable around the camera, using the lighting and props n the best way and coming up with some absolutely epic ideas!

I can’t recommend this lovely photographer enough, he is ever so fun to work with and the results are always amazing :)

What an incredible first shoot I had with Arfon. Arfon is meticulously organised and prepared, arrived early and in a cheerful and enthusiasm manner despite travelling for over 4 hours to our shoot.

I do believe Arfon is a world class photographer, cant believe we have such pure raw talent here in Wales.

Arfon was bursting with ideas and everything flowed, our 7 hour shoot went so quickly as we were both enjoyed so much.

I so hope to work with Arfon again as not only did I get incredible images but also gained a friend xx

Had a wonderful shoot today with the lovely Arfon.

He arrived ready to start and successfully managed to find the place easily - and that's not easy.

We had already discussed ideas via email so we were both ready and raring to go. Arfon had even brought some extra props that we included into the shoot.

The day flew by and I feel we got some really creative and brilliant images.

I would highly recommend Arfon. He's a great photographer and really friendly guy.

Thanks Again

And I’m very glad he did, we got some fab images and I had such a lovely day. We shot for 6 hours which flew by! Arfon Is a very talented man with a real passion for photography he is also kind, friendly and genuinely a really nice guy. I’m so glad he traveled to Shoot with me and I’d shoot again in a flash. Thanks for a fab day , some great pics and lots of laughs Arfon :-)

Arfon is a wonderful individual who has a knack for instantaneously making people feel at ease, he has a relaxed and fun personality with that amazing way around the camera, which bore awesome images!

I absolutely loved my 1st time working with this fantastic photographer, he is creative with light, directing beautifully and gives epic feedback - Arfon is just so easy to work with!

I can’t recommend him enough to all models and creatives….an utter joy to work with and I really hope to work with him again next year ♥

This lovely guy booked a slot to work with me today on my model day at Hallam Mill.

Although he'd had an extremely early start to the day and had a shoot before arriving at Hallam he knew exactly what shots he wanted to get from the start and got set up straight away. His ideas worked really well and we got some great images.

Always a pleasure, thank you! Highly recommend :)

I had my first shoot with arfon at my studio yesterday. He was such a pleasure to work with, literally could of worked for days with this guy as he's great to get along with making work fun to do! Communications was spot on :) as soon as we met he made me feel at ease working with him, as we have not worked together before it was good to get that vibe of safety and security. The hours flew by, his ideas are endless and we got lots of fab images together, arfon knows exactly what he's looking for in an image :) very down to earth photographer and highly recommended to everyone :) I really do hope we work together again soon... brilliant company and superb photographer :)

Thanks again for a great day!!

I had a shoot with this lovely guy today. We have worked together a few times now and it's always good fun!

He is very professional and has great ideas when it comes to creating the perfect shot. 4 hours flew by as the shoot was so enjoyable!

Would definitely reccommend. Thanks for a great shoot.

I could so easily be biased when it comes to working with Arfon as he has become a good friend of mine after shooting together for x amount of years but I will be perfectly honest .... A DREAM TO WORK WITH! Arfon always brings along with him his funny witty sense of humour making every shoot an absolute crack! This certainly helps for getting out the smiley images (naturally) when needed hahahaha.

As per usual, Arfon laid out all his ideas immaculately so that myself and Dahlia could bring only what was required on the day and build up on makeup and hair to suit. Arfon will always bring along half of the wardrobe with him also so that is girls can pack light haha. Not really... he just has good taste when it comes to ladies dresses etc and never has failed to impress yet!

Just as expected, the edits I have seen so far are mind blowing and really do reflect what a great day it really was. Thanks again Arfon for yet another epic shoot and images, and here's to some more next year! Wooo!

PS - PPAP.. BUUHHHLLLAALAAAALLLAAAAALLAAAA-AAAHH-HHAAA---HAAAA!

I recently shot with Arfon at mine and Rhianna Grey's duo studio day. Arfon is really great to work with, very friendly, easy to get on with and absolutely brimming with so much creativity and wonderful ideas! The images I've seen so far have been fantastic and I'm sure there will be tonnes more to come.

Highly recommended, I very much hope to work with Arfon again in the future.

Thanks again,

I had a really great first shoot with Arfon yesterday.

Exellent communication and the shoot was organised in short notice 😊

Arfon is very professional and has a great personality and was very easy to get on with.

He has great ideas and was very thought full to bring a blanket if I was cold and he also had some amazing dresses if I wanted to use.

I would definitely recommend Arfon and would like to work with him again in the future. .thank you 😊

Arfon and I have been connected via Social Media etc. for quite some time... but upon this years Bala Beauties event taking place: we finally got the chance to work together on an amazing pre-planned location event at some dazzling beauty spots around Lake Bala, North Wales! :D

In the midst of rushing around like a mad women and having to get back into tour-mode so soon after this event (story of my life!) I lost my list of references still to do so I owe a big fat apology to Arfon for the little delay and an equally big fat thank you for being so patient - at least it means I now have time to give him full credits for being a part of a really lovely day and a fabulous person to work with! :)

The day itself was doing it's best (weather-wise) to make life challenging for us creative folks... but that didn't phase or stop the epic productivity working not only one to one but also with double-trouble for some duo work towards the end of the day! Arfon got some particularly gorgeous/iconic shots of myself and the lovely Rachelle Summers at the end of the pier for one of the grand Finale sets, some of which were the corkers I noticed first-hand when the tagging notifications started occurring immediately after the event. He's a genuinely good photographer and has a true eye for a picturesque/photogenic moment...It's challenging enough shooting one model in not the most forgiving of weather conditions but two is even more so! Superb work Arfon! :D

Aside from the above, this gent is a really lovely person to work with: considerably relaxed and non-pressured in pace... just catching those beautiful moments as they occur and having a good laugh with the people he's shooting with. I would recommend Arfon to everyone, be it in a group environment or one to one. A really nice chap with unquestionable interest in photography and shaping shots that a really eye-catching even in the most challenging of environments. It was such a pleasure getting the chance to work together that day and I most certainly look forward to doing it again soon in the future. :)

Thank you so much Arfon!

So I had TWO shoots with Arfon over the last couple of days. The first shoot had been booked for sometime and we decided to focus on locations around North Wales. We headed to a fantastic beach and spent the morning there trying out different shots and trying not to get blown away. Arfon is really easy to get along with and was also happy to go along with some suggestions I had. I was well looked after with blankets and towels to keep me warm also. The second day he came along to the Bala Beauties event and we managed to produce some great images there too.

I'm really pleased we got to shoot together and hopefully we will get to do so again in the future.

Thanks Arfon - Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Arfon.

I found him to be really easy to get on with which made shooting with him a pleasure.

He took gorgeous portraits and some shadowy art nudes. I felt that the pictures came out very well and I have enjoyed seeing the results.

I do very much hope to have the opportunity to work with him again. Comes very highly recommended!

Thank you. :)

Would recommend him to any model x

I had a fantastic shoot with Arfon a couple weeks back at John Barone's studio in Wolverhampton.

Arfon booked me for the day, so we had plenty of time to play around and work through various styles and themes.

Arfon met me at the train station and straight away he made me feel comfortable and relaxed, very easy going person and great company.

I have seen a few images Arfon as posted and they are beautiful, especially the art nude one Arfon as posted on fb, really classical, love it.

I hope to work with Arfon again and I can only highly recommend him to other models out there.

Thank you

Carla :)
