Woo! I had a lovely day shooting with Arfon today, this was our second shoot together and it was even better than the last!

The day just flew by and although it was a miserable grim day outside it didn't affect the mood of the shoot!

We managed loads of sets throughout the shoot and tried a load of new sets up and got all creative.

Arfon is lovely, friendly, chatty and professional and I would highly recommend him to any model.

Thank you Arfon!

I have worked with Arfon a few times now and each time always turns out to be a good laugh with plenty of banter. Arfons work was outstanding from the start... But I can see how he's come on leaps and bounds since then. He creates some amazing images and his creative mind continues to expand.

Can't really say a bad word to be honest..: I mean he even brought a bottle of Jack Daniels to pathways a couple of months back (To shoot with of course..:: ok, ok, I had a couple of small glasses of the stuff ;-). ) !!! Hahaha!

I would say Arfon has now become a good friend, and we have even worked together on set a horror comic ooooeeerrr! That was such a blast!! More of those to come I hope! When I'm having a down day, Arfons Facebook statuses or shared images/videos are ones that cheer me back up again lol.

Anyway, I'm going to shut up now as I feel I'm waffling on. Let's not leave it so long until our next shoot :) I always look forward to seeing the edits and I'm totally over the moon with the batch I've just received from our group shoot at Millwood a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks again Arfon.

I had an amazing shoot with Arfon today.

The shoot went so quick, I really don't know where the 6 hours went.

He Is such a delight to be around, pre-coms were amazing, he is very professional and a gentlemen. A great guy !

I know we have definitely got loads of images and I am looking forward to seeing the final image.

We are already talking about our next shoot and finishing what we didn't have time to shoot this time.

Highly recommended !!! :D

My second shoot with Arfon, and this time we arranged for a location shoot in Chester.

Pre-comms with Arfon are always down to a T and he spends time carefully planning everything to ensure the shoot is a success :D

Unfortunately this time, the weather was not looking good, infact torrential rain all day and given that I was already booked to be in that area there was no chance we could rearrange for any time soon. So we decided we would roll with it and just do what we could and in the end Arfon booked a local studio for a few hours just incase we got so soaked and needed a break to change and warm up.

HOWEVER...ALL WAS NOT THAT BAD and the weather actually picked up after a short while and we managed to find some striking areas to shoot which produced some excellent images. The studio also came in for some boudoir/fitness images too which turned out fantastic.

Arfon is very easy to get along with, he is respectful and polite.

I would work with him again and can recommend him to other models to work with

Thanks and kindest regards

One word: WOW!!!

Probably one of the best shoots I've ever done!! Arfon was just a dream to work with; bounced ideas about and he let me bring out my inner Miley 😜

Time just flew by and we did absolutely tons of sets! Arfon uploaded all the photos on his laptop at the end so we were able to view the images at the end which were just incredible! We both did things that neither of us have done before and we couldn't of got better results!!

Cannot wait to get the images in my portfolio and I can't wait to work with you again Arfon!! Big thank you!!!

Worked with Arfon yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it! He was easy to talk to, sent me some pictures of ideas the night before so we knew what kind of thing we were aiming for. He also was showing the pictures he took as we went along which was good. He let me input ideas as well as his own. Very good photographer and I would highly recommend. Diolch!

I had the pleasure of working with Arfon last year before xmas at Hallam Mill Studios, Stockport.

He contacted me well in advance and we got a date booked in! He explained the ideas he wanted to try and achieve on our shoot together and he came very prepared with accessories and inspirational images to work from.

The shoot was relaxed yet very productive, we worked through a variety of different concepts/shoot styles and the images produced were fab. Even with a little set back on his camera, Arfon didn't let it phase him or spoil the shoot, he just worked with it and it resolved itself in the end :D

Certainly would love to work with him again and very happy to recommend him to other models

Thank you, Tillie

I had a lovely shoot with Arfon at the weekend, working at one of my favourite studios Hallam Mill.

He sent me the ideas he has in advance so I knew exactly what we would be doing and that I was happy with it all, as well as knowing what to bring :)

He is very easy to work for, relaxed pace throughout the day and just generally a very pleasant atmosphere! I got on with him very well and found him very easy to natter with.

He is happy to show you the images as you go, taking the time to show you on the computer to see if you are happy and if there are any adjustments you want to make to poses, which is always a plus :)

Really happy with what we got and can happily recommend him to others.

Hope I get to work with him again in the future :)

So today i got the chance to work with arfon after a year of us both trying to arrange a suitable date and what a fantastic shoot it was!! It was well worth the wait.. we got some awesome shots!! Just a shame the 4 hours flew by!!

I found arfon to be very friendly and easy going from the moment i met him we got on brilliant discussing shoot ideas etc, arfon is a great photographer and knows how to capture a great image.

I would highly recommend arfon to any model and i hope i get the chance to work with him again in the near future.. thank you again arfon for a brilliant shoot and good luck in your photography.

Had a brilliant shoot with Arfon at Mick Payton's Studio. His pre communication was perfect, he's very organised and great at keeping you in the loop :) The shoot was perfect, we did different styles and they all looked fab! Arfon is a knowledgeable photographer and the images from the shoot were lovely, which he kindly shared with me and let me choose some :) He is lovely, friendly and very easy to get on with, as well as being relaxed and respectful. He is also thoughtful and a really sweet man. The time went far too fast! :) Thank you for sharing images with me after the shoot also and for being so sweet as to ask my opinion. Really enjoyable shoot and would highly recommend to any model :)

Thanks a million and hope to see you again sometime :D x

I had the privilege of working with Arfon and Ismini Nekron yesterday on a beautiful location shoot in some very old abandoned buildings with plenty of plants around. My favourite kind of location! As a team of three we all worked really well together and the images we've got look great. Arfon is very professional, and was that way from first communication. We bounced a lot of ideas around and ended up collaborating with a clear idea of where we wanted to go with it. He gives great direction, knows his way around what angles to go for and is just a great photographer all round. Would definitely recommend Fidster Photography and I hope to work with him again soon.

This was my second shoot with Arfon, and it only got better from the last one! This was part of a joint shoot with Adventurine. Communication was excellent as always and he was kind enough to drive us to a beautiful location, one of many we had discussed before hand! Great suggestions were made for every aspect of the day, and as we all eased into it and got into the swing of things, I feel we came away with some of my favourite images so far, I absolutely cannot wait to see the results. This was my first joint shoot with another model also, he directed us both very well! So of course I would recommend again, and already have a vague idea of future plans! Thank you very much for a great day Arfon!

Arfon was great to shoot with. He turned up on time, he was professional, friendly and nice and I was made to feel comfortable around him. We went to a few different locations too which was great and I'd probably like to do a shoot with him again :)

I a really awesome shoot with Arfon yesterday!... Now this shot was booking in advance and I mean last year advance!... But contact and arrangements were keep throughout the months and we were both clear on what sort of things we wanted to achieve from the shoot!... He arrived on time!.. with a smile despite the long and early start!... Arfon was very chatty & friendly... we bonded over a cuppa and had lots of giggles!... We certainly clicked I felt like I'd known him for ages!... So we started on the first set!...

The thing I really liked was how relaxed the shoot was... and the ideas that flowed with that!... The shots we got are gorgeous!... Arfon really made sure he created images that showed photographic skill!... Using natural light as well which can be tricky for the most part!...

I thoroughly enojoyed my shoot with Arfon and I would certainly recommend him to other models.... I always felt comfortable around him and we had lots of chat and giggles!...

He's a very genuine person and a very good photographer!... And I would love to work with him again in the future....even further future... I know how far in advance you book!!... haha!

Thanks again!

Yet another fab shoot with one of my favourite, and most reliable, photographers. I received an unexpected message the night before our shoot, and we still managed a well organised multitude of ideas on the day. Arfon had the great idea of doing some studio work in the daytime, and afterwards, when the daytime crowd had quietened down, shooting on location at a beach.

Again it was a low pressure shoot, experimenting with fabrics and lighting. Even whilst trying new ideas, we still managed excellent results as usual. What I like most about working with this photographer is, despite his clear ideas of what he what's, Arfon allows models so much room for input and improvisation and ideas just grow. I also enjoy hearing updates about how the images turn out, and about the edits before I see the images. I always receive a full set of images from the shoot and in good time.

Shoots with Fidster Photography are always fun yet professional, and with such an easy going photographer, they hardly feel like work at all! Thanks again!

Ismini Nekron

It was a joy to work with Arfon, to get some softer images that were needed for my portfolio. Having previously failed with other photographers I was extremely pleased with the results of our location shoot. Communication before the shoot was great, during the shoot he gave great direction, and was able to work at ease with me as we discussed what would work best. Great use of natural lighting as well as the latter. We are already planning our next shoot, I'm looking forward to it, would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Now this man knows how to organise a shoot! Arfon contacted me around half a year ago wanting to organise a shoot, so we did! After many months of pre shoot communications Arfon and I had nailed what we wanted to shoot and came up with a load of ideas. Which I think we achieved!

Arfon was super friendly, professional and a joy to work with and I really hope we work together again!

I had a shoot yesterday with Arfon, what can I say? He made me feel comfortable straight from the word go and made sure I was warm throughout. He knows exactly what's he doing with the lighting to get the best images and we were able to produce some great images. Thoroughly recommended and would love to work with him again. Thanks Arfon :)
