I worked with the amazing Tad again, this time at WindmillArt Studio and had such an awesome time!

Tad is one of my favourite people to work with- as he is so relaxed, calm, kind, considerate and FUN to work with! He makes every single shoot special in some way and his passion for photography is truly infectious! We did a mixture of work within the building and also in the stunning grounds of The Windmill- and the photographs looked absolutely beautiful, I am a big fan of natural light shots and Tad nailed it! I am really looking forward to seeing the edits! :) The Windmill was such an awesome place to choose to work at and one I had been wanting to for a while.

Tad was super organised, full of enthusiasm and a complete joy to work with- even providing lunch on the day! I look forward to every shoot I work with him on, as I know I will leave in a great mood and smiling! Thankyou for being a gentleman and a lovely friend and hope to work together again soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

I have recently had two more shoots with Tad (one at studio 6 and the other at Blackbarn studio) and what I can guarantee is that a good time is always at hand with this guy. Not only is his knowledge of photography, marketing, styles, poses and framing come such a long way, but his passion has come to full fruition at last. He has a determined attitude towards every shoot we have together and along the way are gradually building a vast repertoire of pictures. I always feel comfortable and free to share ideas throughout the shoot. He has a lovely, compassionate and sensitive personality, that really comes across beautifully through his work.

Tad I can not wait for the next one.....I just can't get enough. Thank you xx

Had a great shoot with Tad at the Factory whilst on my tour. We always work well together and got through numerous sets during the time we had. Tad is so easy to work with and I would happily work with him again!

Tad deserves yet another gleaming reference from me! Myself, Tad and Mandy (MUA) collaborated on a beauty shoot at Studio 6 and I must say from the results on the back of the camera, I am very excited to see the processed images. Not only did Tad source large amounts of accessories, wigs, hats and pieces of material, he also exchanged ideas, concepts and looks via pinterest. Pre-communication was spot on, and shooting with him is such a pleasure. We managed to fit in a number of looks within the time frame, and Tad matched each style/outfit with a number of backdrop ideas and lighting set ups, shooting a variety of images.

Tad is a wonderful, considerate person, with excellent, creative ideas. I can not wait for our next shoot...I am sure it is going to be another memorable experience.

Thank you and see you soon! xx

I was lucky to shoot with Tad last month at Pozers studio. I had already heard wonderful things from the model, Helen Diaz.

Upon meeting Tad, I was instantly comfortable and happy to see that he was incredibly friendly and a very genuine person. Tad also went to the trouble to bring a huge lunch selection for the team.

We shot for a full day and the energy was great throughout. As a MUA it was great to work with a photographer who was patient and very complimentary of my work.

I've seen a peek of the finished images and I'm so pleased with them. I'd be more than happy to shoot with Tad again. A great photographer!

PoZers had the pleasure of hosting their very first (and hopefully not their last) shoot with Tad today, and the whole six hour booking was an absolute pleasure throughout. Tad had booked the stunning Helen Diaz for an Audrey Hepburn style shoot today, and Tad arrived with plenty of Hepburn style props, clothing, hats etc. and also hired a makeup artist to finish the look. Tad arrived in plenty of time for the shoot, and we even found time to show him around our beautiful landscaped gardens to allow him time to think of the various sets for his Hepburn inspired theme. Tad arrived ladened with beautiful, luxury food for his guests which I happily stored in our fridge and presented at lunch time. Tad had thought of everything and really was very considerate of his models needs throughout the shoot. Tad was exceptionally organised, and despite booking both the studio and the gardens, the weather blessed us with no rain, which after the last few weeks and the forecast for today, was a miracle and we spent the entire day in the gardens. Tad took some truly amazing shots of Helen and I am so excited to see the images, he captured her beautifully in so many different areas of the garden, and used the various textures and colours beautifully. I really can't recommend Tad highly enough to any model, makeup artist, studio, stylist, designer etc. Tad is a wonderful gentleman, and his portfolio speaks volumes and he was a total dream client throughout the shoot and PoZers would welcome Tad back in a heart beat, with open arms. Tad made a lot of effort to ensure today was a huge success and he really is a first class gentleman and a five star photgrapher, and I really hope our paths cross again very soon.

I worked with the lovely Tad again for a full day shoot at the fantastic Pozers studio recently and had such an enjoyable day!! This time around Tad was very kind and booked the most amazing MUA who is a great friend of mine- ShariMUA on Purpleport. I felt pampered and so well looked after! The makeup application was flawless and stunning- really making a beautiful upgrade to the resulting images!

Tad as always was a complete gentleman to work with- and we were very lucky to be able to use the grounds on the day also with good weather for most of the day. Pozers studio was such a fantastic place to use for the shoot as our theme was Audrey Hepburn- which teamed with the stunning grounds attached to the studio really suited! Alley the studio owner of Pozers was an absolutely amazing host and made sure we were all watered, fed and even went to the lovely kind effort of preparing a lovely lunch for us which Tad had bought along on the day. It was an awesome day and the images were stunning! I really enjoyed myself, thankyou so much! Helen x

Tad and I had our third shoot together and this time not only did we have strong concepts in mind, but also had a makeup artist on board, allowing ideas to fully flourish. This day certainly was a wondrous blast! Tad remained enthusiastic throughout- sharing styling ideas and concepts via detailed email exchanges. Despite me not feeling my 100% self, he remained optimistic about the results throughout, putting up with my coughs and splutters in between. We certainly work well together as a team, and I can only give him credit for putting in his all to make the day enjoyable, allow you to feel relaxed and comfortable. The image results are amazing! By indulging in photography courses and visiting exhibitions, he is rapidly progressing at a photographer.....WATCH OUT TOGS!! Until next time Tad.....Thank you xx

I worked with Tad on a recent Studio day I was Hosting in June.

Tad showed up right on time at the location, he was lovely and pleasant and didn't mind patiently waiting whilst the HMUA fixed my hair for the shots.

Tad had booked for 4 hours and we spent a lot of time experimenting with lighting and different contrasts. He had great vision. Tad was very enthusiastic about his work, he was also very eager to get that perfect shot! I hope we achieved that! He made all of our team feel comfortable and was great with direction.

Had a brilliant 4 hours with Tad and would definitely recommend him.

What to say about Tad!!! :) Our second full day shoot working together and it was an absolute BLAST! We went to a gorgeous ruin location I know not far from me and it was an absolute joy! The weather gods were smiling on us on the day and the rain kept off for most of the day whilst we were shooting- right up until we got into our cars to go home- and then it pelted it down- couldn't have wished for more perfect timing!!

The day itself was spent in and around the ruined church, graveyard and woods of the ruin, taking a mixture of gorgeous fashion to art nude shots in the landscape and against the stonework. Tad is such a pleasure to work with- so ethusiastic, creative, focused, inspired and fun to work with. He is an artist with a camera and his natural flair for photography and styling is inspiring!

He was also very kind, consdierate and calm to work with- especialley whilst I was climbing (occasionally swearing) and posing in the windows of the ruin. He was such a gentleman and always puts the model first. He also very kindly bought along some gorgeous clothes to wear and materials which were a great addition to the shoot.

Our third day together is coming soon and I am really looking forward to it! We work so well together and I cannot recommend this lovely photographer more highly. I look forward to seeing Tads work progress and he comes with the highest recommendation from me. Thankyou for such a lovely day and see you again soon! Helen x

Me and Tad worked together today whilst I was on tour in the Cambridge area and we had such a good old time. Unfortunately the cold was around and decided not to go away but we got some bloody good shots throughout the day and got along like a house on fire! He was so friendly and easy to chat to that it just worked so we are shooting again in August :)

Highly recommended off me!

What a shoot. What a day. What a photographer. Hip Hip Hooray!

Tad's pre-communication was fantastic, thorough and full of explanation. I really enjoy the way he approaches concepts with sheer passion. Having shot for a whole day at Hammerwood, we explored shooting wedding dresses in the beautiful grounds. Having a great chat as we shot, as well as collaboratively sharing ideas, we produced some amazing images.

It is a true joy to shoot with Tad and wonderful to be on board his photography journey. Thank you xxx

After my first shoot with Tad I was absolutely delighted! He was great fun to work with, with plenty of excellent ideas and happy to try out mine. He has access to a fabulous studio with plenty of equipment and props to use. Tad is wonderfully friendly and polite, always making sure I was comfortable and happy. He has a great eye for lighting and camera angles and was very welcoming of my output. Can't wait to work together again!

Amberlin Michelle

A wonderful first shoot with Tad. Not only was pre-communication detailed, clear and inspiring, he arrived fully prepared-with camera in hand, garments and accessories in the suitcase and food ready for lunch. His dedication to the shoot really makes it feel that extra special. We spoke a lot about ideas and looks, and he met all expectations and more! He welcomed my own creative input throughout-making it a real collaboration. Not only is Tad a fab photographer, but also had a keen eye for styling. He brought so many beautiful dresses, which seemed almost made to measure! I am really looking forward to shooting with Tad again-he comes highly recommended.

Thank you,

Real pleasure hosting Tad and Amber at the Factory Studio today.

Nice guy, punctual, very respectful and knows his lighting kit, no hesitation in recommending to anyone

I worked with Tad for the first time the other day at the amazing Talliston House! Tad very kindly booked me for the full day at this amazing venue and I had such a great time! Tad was a little nervous- and so was I, as it was our first meeting and working together- and a full day is a long time to work with someone you have never met before! :) However on first arrival Tad was a joy to be around, so down to earth, kind, considerate and a gentleman to work with. He was very professional in his appraoch and very respectful to work with too, making sure I had plenty of tea/coffee breaks and that I was warm and covered up in between shooting. Any nerves I had soon vanished!

Tad bought masses of enthusiasm, creatvity and fantastic photography equipment with him, was fully prepared, very organised and very reliable. He also kindly took my suggestions and we created some beautiful images together going through a variety of clothing and dresses he had bought along with him, working from fashion to art nude throughout the venue.

I was amazed and touched at Tads generosity also who got in touch with me prior to the shoot and asked if there was anything I would like or need on the day in way of food. Tad knew I was mostly a raw foodist and arrived with a few carriers of delicious food he had purchased for us to prepare and eat for lunch, which I thought was so kind and thoughtful. He was also very respectful of the venue we were in and a thoroughly lovely person to be in the company of and to work with. Thankyou for such a lovely memorable day and I really hope we get the opportunity to work together again, highly recommended to all models and creatives, Helen x

WindmillArt Studio

Met tad for the first time today at our group burlesque shoot here at WindmillArt. It was a fairly large group of togs but we had a chance to chat about his photography and his photographic goals. I found him to be a genuine, nice and engaging guy and I'll look forwards to him coming back to WindmillArt for future shoots / workshops & helping him to expand his portfolio.
