Had my first shoot with Shawn at Matchbox studio what a fantastic day!

Shawn is friendly, fun and chatty to be around and gives great direction with full of ideas. Easy to get along with and very professional. The pre shoot communication was great and immediately felt at ease on arrival at the studio.

I would definitely recommend collaborating with Shawn. Thank you so much and look forward to working with you soon! :)

What an excellent shoot we had today with Shawn Spencer-Smith, he was on time and on point. Giving the models PJ and Aaron directions with ease which made the shoot a super quick and fun.

He knows his stuff and his turn around time is super quick and the quality is spot on.

pre comms were perfect and perfect on the day, I would have no hesitation in recommending him for shoots and I look forward to work with him again.

Another fantastically fun and awesome shoot with Shawn in the bag! A great choice of studio, this time it was Matchbox studio. Shawn had put a lot of thought and effort into ideas and how to achieve them within the space we had. Shawn is a gentleman and made sure I had lots of nice food for lunch. The Ideas were flowing and we had fun, I loved being able to look at the images on the laptop screen and Shawn was shooting tethered mode.

Shawn is also a fabulous stylist, he always has great clothing and accessories to use in your shoots.

We had a productive shoot and lots of fun as usual.

Shawn is a must work with photographer and I recommend him highly.

Thanks for another great shoot Shawn!

Great pre shoot communication was great and thorough. Gave directions and was friendly. Shawn has a professional manner, as well as allowing me to take sneak peeks from the back of the camera.

I recommend Shawn to all creatives!

Yesterday I had a great time shooting with Shawn at Matchbox Studio in Gloucester.

The communication in thelast days was excellent, we tried to find ideas and discussed about what we wanted to archive. After meeting him at the train we went at the studio and I found out that I took a pair of white wings with him, an amazing prop that looked wonderful with my stuffed unicorns!

We came back to the station together and I think we got a lot of excellent images, he is creative and helps with directions in order to obtain quality images, I would definitely recommend him!

Highly recommended by me and I'd love to work with him again in the future

Shawn was a pleasure to talk to and work with. His a real conversationalist and had such fantastic stories to share, making us build a really good working relationship as well as a friendship behind the camera. He was willing to come all the way to my house, even with the prior knowledge that the models booked had let us down. Saying that, we got to do some really interesting and powerful shots that will really help develop my portfolio and got me moving into new looks that I hadn't tried before. We managed to get some truly interesting and wonderful shots out of the day and laughed a lot whilst doing it.

We then moved into Cardiff, to meet some new models, which he was able to shoot in a brilliant location too.

I would definitely suggest people to work with him, he will really add something new and different to what you already have, but also make you really grow as a model too. He taught me so much by just letting me move with the flow of the shoot - but also had such clear and concise direction too. I would definitely work with him again and hope to collaborate with other models that he knows too.

I had a great half day shoot with Shawn and the gorgeous Artemis Fauna at my home last week.

This was the second time Shawn and I have worked together and it was just as easy as the first shoot! Shawn is organised, prepared and easy to talk to!

I look forward to working with Shawn again.

Artemis Fauna

I worked with Shawn for the first time a few days ago on a duo shoot with Katie Green at her place.

Pre comms were spot on- I knew what Shawn wanted to shoot and we had loads of ideas to work our way through on the day.

We got a lot done in the time but also spent a lot of time chatting in-between sets which was nice.

Shawn brought along a HUGE case full of things for us to use and we covered many different genres.

Thank you, Shawn- hope to work with you again! :)

Was great to have Shawn involved for the Avalonia clothing brand shoot. He was very knowledgeable about his craft and was a real pleasure to work with.

I had a four hour shoot with Shawn when I visited Helen Diaz last weekend. He's a very productive photographer with lots of crazy ideas. He used the time given really well and took looooads of lovely shots :) He tried out different lighting techniques and got some super shots on the bed with Helen. Thanks for a great shoot! <|: -)

Helen Diaz

I worked with the lovely Shawn alongside the beautiful Emma Willis just before Christmas on our duo day and had such an awesome time! Shawn kindly booked half a day which was a cancellation- and we were so greatful!

I am always a bit nervous about shooting with someone new but from the offset Shawn was very professional, extremely reliable, kind and considerate to work with. He came to the shoot with lots of ideas and was an absolute blast to work with, with plenty of ideas of his own but also let us both be as creative and fun as we wished to be! The shoot was very relaxed but super productive - and the photos look beautiful!

We had a lovely half a day together and I really enjoyed the shoot! Thankyou for saving the weekend and I really hope to work together again soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

Shawn spencer-Smith. A true gentleman and a man who is very professional and polite. It was an honour to meet him and work with him at my studio day at Upper Mills Studio.

Shawn contacted me about 6 days ago after seeing one of my latest images, and booked 3 hours with me. Those we’re 3 amazing hours from start to finish. The time just flowed as well as the ideas and the poses. I was very impressed with the camera set up using the laptop to show the images as they were taken which helped me to correct posing hence get better images. I look forward to seeing what Shawn post’s. The shoot was fun, professional, relaxed and easy going, nothing was to much trouble.

I hope I will get the chance to work again with Shawn in 2017. I can't recommend Shawn enough. He is one of a kind and in my opinion - very talented.

Thanks again for a fun afternoon.

Yet again so impressed with the shoot me and Shawn did last Thursday, always is so kind and a great pleasure to work with. Always knows what looks good and has great ideas, makes you feel comfortable, funny, and produced some great images, always look forwards to shooting with Shawn.

Thankyou!

Wow! What an amazing shoot!

After he responded to my casting call regarding headshots, I knew that Shawn would be the perfect fit!

He was fantastic with pre-shoot comms and I loved that he was able to pull together a wardrobe for the shoot.

Shooting at Shutter & Flash is always a delight and I know that we got some amazing photos!

I'd highly recommend Shawn and will hopefully work with him again in future. :-)
