What a great shoot with Arfon! We shot a full day on location in North Wales in February, including some outdoor nude work. What *could* have been a hellish day was made pleasant and fun by Arfon's wonderful attitude and pre-planning. He was so considerate of my comfort, brought an amazing giant fluffy blanket to keep me warm, checked how I was doing as the day went on, offered to take me somewhere for a hot lunch, etc etc etc! As a result, the photos looked the best they possibly could and the day was inspirational, with all the amazing scenery and settings we had to work with in this beautiful area of the country. Other location nude photographers should come along to Arfon's shoots to see how it's done! Arfon is an absolute STAR who I can recommend without reserve and I look forward to working with him again soon.

After meeting Arfon at a lighting workshop last year it was soon in the pipeline for us to do a 1 to 1 together. Yesterday we had the opportunity. I am very pleased with how much effort Arfon goes to, to do his research and find inspiration from resources all over the internet down to the very last detail. Pre shoot comms were brilliant and precise.

During the shoot we experimented with different lighting and get the shot 'just right' when we were after a particular look. We worked very well together both giving feedback from both viewpoints which resulted in some fabulous images!

Not only did I have a great shoot with Arfon, but he is such a gentleman too. A lovely person with a great sense of humour, whilst still professional throughout.

We already have ideas for more shoots together so I really look forward to working on them.

I would 100% undoubtedly recommend Arfon to anyone who seeks to work with him.

I had a ball! Thank you! Cherry x

Arfon came a very, very long way to shoot with me for five hours yesterday! It had been over a year since we last shot so it was nice to catch up and laugh about our Bala adventure of 2013!

We fitted a lot of ideas into the five hours but didn't rush. We made time for chat, lunch, making sure we got things right.

I can't believe how quickly the shoot went! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing the results of the shoot.

Thank you Arfon :)

As always, nothing but great things to say about Fidster Photography! Had another day shoot, and the time flew by. Fidster is a very comfortable photographer to work with, with many great ideas. Pre-shoot comms are fantastic, with thoughts well put across. Levels and the models comfort are still at the front of his mind, even after the third shoot together. Arfon is considerate over transport and curfews, and as always is so easy to get along with, conversation flows, ideas flow nicely and I can't wait to get through our next lot of ideas! Always look forward to working with this photographer and would recommend to any model, no matter how new or experienced. Best of luck in your future projects!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Arfon at the Pathway studios. Pre-shoot comms was onpoint, we worked through different genres and came out with some amazing shots. He was very down to earth and easy to work with and I no hesitate to recommend to to models.

I had a second shoot with Fidster last night.

Again, he was very organised and professional. We got through a lot of different sets and he had great ideas for each. He is a very friendly, patient and down to earth person. I would highly recommend working with him. :)

Well yet again I had a fantastic shoot with Arfon at pathways! He turned up on time to collect from the station and we made our way across to the studio. We already had a few ideas set up so getting ready in between didn't take too long and the final set was shot on Arfons swish car which was a little nerve wracking... Probably more for Arfon that it was for me haha. The bonnet kept dinting in!! 😂😂. Luckily it popped back up and it was left without a single mark! Phew! Arfon is always a pleasure to shoot with and we always have a good ol laugh. Like he said on my reference.. Yep, we started attacking imaginary ducks with props.. As crazy as that sounds.. (If you hear his ringtone you will know what I'm talking about lol!!). Arfon always takes the time to make sure he achieves the right shot... Quality over quantity! We managed to get some really good shots which I'm super pleased with! I highly recommend him to any model!! Thanks again Arfon!

Jesse-Marie

Had a fabulous second shoot with Fidster yesterday. We managed to fit in some outdoor work, studio work, and a duo, and again we managed some great results. Fidster sent plenty of inspiration pre-shoot, unfortunately we didn't get everything we wanted but on the positive, we added to our extensive list of ideas for next time, which I can't wait for! Thanks again!

Had a fantastic shoot with fidster yesterday, which was nothing short of inspirational. After having a little trouble finding the studio, Forster was patient and communicated well, and when I showed up I was immediately comfortable. We had shared ideas and inspirational images previously so I had a good idea of what to bring, and we collaborated well. I was given a lot of freedoms to pose, and any changes or suggestions to improve were given constructively and were much appreciated back. Forster was artistic and efficient with the lighting set up, especially when things got creative, and often even included me in this proces. We reviewed images frequently, which gave us both scope to improve these shots gaining some fantastic images for us both. Honestly one of my best shoots so far, and despite it being a full days work, it barely felt like, until we saw the amount of images we had collected, and still with more ideas. I can't say enough about this shoot to put across how professional this photographer was throughout, and what a fun and enjoyable, as well as productive, shoot we had. Many thanks, and I greatly hope to shoot again, especially with all of these ideas we have! Can't recommend enough to models!

One word to describe Arfons photography is... brilliant! Pre-shoot communication was fab and he collected pictures for inspiration! On the shoot Arfon selected appropriate locations for the photos at my stables and on the beach! He came up with some great ideas and he has the natural ability to shoot all types of photography... with our shoot including... Equine fashion, action shots of me jumping my horse, fashion, dance shots, and working on the beach. He brought a great structure to the shoot. He captured some amazing shots!!! Arfon is very nice, funny, relaxed, easy going, organised and very polite! I honestly cannot recommend him enough!

110% recommend Arfon :) !!!

What a wonderful shoot with Arfon I had.

Arfon, made the huge journey over to beautiful Hallem Mill, for a day of creativities with my self.

His pre-communications where fantastic.... Moodboards and inspiration folders galore, which gave me a great insight to what Arfon wanted.

The day whizzed on by, with giggles and great conversation, creating buckets of beautiful and varied imagery.

I would have no hesitations in recommending this fine man and hope to work together again in the near future.

Arfon had booked a slot on the Lighting course I did at Arianne studios. Although new to modelling photography he shown great enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Along with great ideas of his own for shots and a creative mindset. He used the time well to put learning into practice. Arfon has a great sense of personality and humourous attitude. I hope I get to work with Arfon again and would definately reccomend him to other models. Cherry

I had the pleasure of working with Arfon on my studio day.

He has a very positive and productive attitude and put so much into our initial 4 hour shoot... we put so many different ideas together we didn't have time to complete all of them, so we booked another couple of hours which were available at the end of the day.

Arfon is very committed to his photography and remains professional throughout. His hard work shows in his portfolio - he even bought a load of materials for our shoot and brought along with him a couple of props to use. He has some amazing ideas and a real pleasure to work with. Our time shooting together went very quickly!

He is very easy-going and has a friendly personality.

On receiving some unedited images today we have created some amazing and interesting images!!

I can highly recommend this fantastic photographer and think he will go far! We are already arranging our next shoot and coming up with some more ideas.

Many thanks Arfon

Arfon contacted me to shoot with Artemis and I at the Bala event. He said he was a little new to the industry and shooting models, I was happy to take him under my wing, and help him along if needed. To be honest he might have been new, but he didn't show it, after a few clicks he was in the moment, checking out the location, coming up with different concepts. Chatting away to me and the rest of the group as if he belonged (and he did) Arfon is a lovely man with a good eye for photography, I was happy to be amongst the first and truly wish him well, and hope we will work together again. Recommended by me/.Thank you Arfon and keep up the good work. x

Arfon was one of eight photographers to book some time with myself and Autumn Sapphire at our 'Bala Beauties' day out.

Arfon was lovely to work with, friendly and hard working. He also tried out some of his own ideas instead of shooting in the same places as everyone else. He was chatty and respectful- I hope I can work with Arfon again on a 1-2-1 shoot if I head his way in the future.

Thank you :)

I had the pleasure of working with Arfon at my home studio, working to a range of different style and lighting techniques, including experimental and creative lighting techniques.

Arfon has learnt a hell of a lot in the short time since he started, which is evident in his portfolio, and his positive and productive attitude.

I was delighted with Arfon's ideas, and his communicative, easy-going and friendly personality.

Arfon's pre-shoot communications were down to business (no farting around :P), he was punctual on the day, and had lots of great ideas and suggestions as well as asking for my own suggestions and ideas.

We worked together to create some beautiful and interesting images, and that I'm sure we're both delighted with- (I am!).

I can highly recommend this lovely tog, and hope to see him again soon!

Arfon's communication throughout has been superb.

He might of been completly new to photographing a experienced Model in a Studio environment but after the 5 hour shoot I think he may have taken home some useful knowledge and quite a few images to show what we covered on the day.

Arfon is a genuinely nice gentleman eager to learn.

I had a brilliant day.

I will definitely recommend Arfon to other Models and hope we get the chance to shoot together again.
