I already knew Ed was lovely because I've seen him over the years at the shared location events he's organized and he's recommended by friends of mine, but this was the first time we worked together. I'm certainly happy to recommend him and look forward to future shoots.. He's relaxed, chatty, easy to work with, and was positive about my suggestions for the images we created together. Great guy, thumbs up from me!

What I can I say about the lovely Ed that I have not said previously..

This was our 9th shoot, so that says everything

A respectful lovely down to earth photographer

this time I shot something different for me shooting with a lovely young model who Ed knows well, we shot fashion, not something Ed is used to shooting

he stepped out his comfort zone and we produced some lovely fashion images

it was a pleasure to shoot with Ed and Eve

Eve was a lovely girl and has a great future in modelling Until next time

Ed is such a lovely photographer. We worked together to get some natural sensual shots, and I believe we did that gracefully. Such a kind and helpful photographer, with tons of talent in photography. I'm sure we will work again soon. Highly recommended!!

Having met Ed during a shoot with a friend some 7 years ago, it's hard to believe that we've only just managed to work together! The venue was the lovely Slogical studio in Somerset during my studio day, and Ed brought along his very lovely wife/stylist. The session was relaxed with plenty of time for tea and chatter, and Ed was characteristically charming company. Highly recommended and I hope to work with him again in the future.

I had an incredible shoot with Ed on Wednesday morning!

He had got us such a lovely location to work from, with bags of character and lovely natural light. We worked our way through a few different sets, each one I was chuffed with the results on the back of the camera! I found him very easy to work with but also great company in general too.

He was also kind enough to take me to my next shoot when the trains didn't fit well into the day.

Just a lovely person to be around and would highly recommend him!

Hoping to see him again in April at Maunsel House :D

What a lovely man - a true gent - I am a complete novice Ed was really chatty and put me at ease - helped me with walking in ridiculous shoes !!! Didn't complain even though I was stupidly late and put up with me moaning I was cold !!! I am sure the pics will be lovely and I would not hesitate to work with him again - Thanks again for a lovely afternoon.

You couldn't find a more decent and genuine person than Ed! He not only put me up for a few nights while I was touring but was a complete pleasure to shoot with after a long tour he was very understanding and went easy on me, allowing lots of little breaks and listening to all my suggestions! We worked so well as a collaborative team and even though I got paid he let me choose a selection of images that I liked. A true gentleman, you would not be looked after better with any other photographer! He is now part of my adopted industry family and I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending him to other models. We made some of the nicest images I've seen in ages and I can't wait to see them edited and up on the site!

I had my first shoot with Ed yesterday at Mansel house and he was a gem! Such a lovely guy and great photographer! We got on really well and although it was an 8 hour shoot, it felt more like a 2 hour shoot! We chatted and laughed lots and found some great spots for photographs at the beautiful location. I really enjoyed our time together and I'm excited for future shoots :) Claire Topaz

Thanks Ed for another fan shoot

I had my 4th shoot with Ed yesterday and again it was a really fab day

Ed is a wonderful photographer and person and the day just flew by.

We managed to get through so many different looks in the most laid back atmosphere

Ed is one of those rare tonics in life , he puts a smile on your face, compliments you, all is genuine, and nothing is to much trouble.

his camera skills are wonderful and anyone would be silly not to work with him

Highly recommend.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with Ed, he gave very clear instructions and knew exactly what kind of shots he wanted. We got along really well and I was surprised that it was his first time working with a male model. He's very professional and would definitely recommend him. Hope to be working with Ed again in the future.

Ed came to shoot with me during my recent weekender at Studio CC. Two hours flew by! He was very easy-going, a real pleasure to model for! He came early, and organised, with a fantastic attitude. He required little help with the technicalities, allowing us to make the most of the time he booked. Looking forward to working with him again in future; recommended in a heartbeat. Thanks Ed

I shot nudes, lingerie and bondage with Ed at Studio CC in Somerset and would happily do so again. We hadn't worked together in years but he is as friendly, professional and as a great a photographer as he was when I was just starting out :) I highly recommend anyone to shoot with Ed, he is courteous and fun and you won't regret it :)

I had another shoot with Ed, this time we tried something different - some video work. He is a joy to work with and a great person.

Highly recommended as usual!

What can I say about my old friend Ed?

He and I regularly do shoots. We did many back in my modelling days and worked on some fantastic projects together. More recently, he and I have teamed up on doing shoots for my business. One of which was today.

It has always been such a pleasure to work with Ed. A lovely man. Very kind hearted and he lives what he does. He considers each shot well and has always produced some great shots for me. I've been so happy with every shoot we've done. He's had a few challenges too! Plenty of inexperienced models plonked in front of him with a costume and no clue what to do, plus a lot of my rowdy friends and a rather exuberant puppy. He gets results every time.

In today's shoot, I got in front of the camera as a model for the first time in a couple if years, and it was lovely to be working with Ed again as a model. I really can't wait to see the results!

In an additional note, Ed is particularly good with first time models. He is great at directing and putting you at ease. I worked with him when he was just starting, and now after years of shooting. He's a great photographer and a special friend. Always very grateful for his help and support. Thanks for everything Ed

What can I say about Ed?

I worked with Ed on a project shooting images for a business Web Page.

He was a pleasure to work with a lovely man who puts you right at ease from the start. He has a lot of patience as he had to endure us models changing costume every few minutes, models from 18mths upwards and a rather playful puppy. Ed was more than up for the challenge which faced him on the day in the heat and space provided, even in the time scale we had to work with he still capture some great images that I hope Fran will be more than pleased with for business page.

Ed had me back for another shoot on Sunday..so he really does keep his word :)

again his hospitality was awesome , he did wake me at silly o clock to shoot in the quiet streets to get the perfect natural light..anyone that knows me will tell you I rarely get up at that time, come home but not get up :P

And me and the morning cold any cold ..well..so Ed I think this says I do enjoy shooting with you.

totally recommend to all

I had a most enjoyable shoot with Ed at Maunsel House this week. The venue offers lots of scope with many different rooms to choose to work in along with staircases and corridors. Ed was great to work with, very experienced and full of ideas while still happy to listen to any thoughts I had on the mood or theme. Great fun and a very relaxed, yet productive, shoot - recommended!
