It was a pleasure working on my first shoot with Gary he was very professional and came prepared knowing what shots he wanted. All round great photographer and I would highly recommend :) x

I shot with Gary for the third time ( or even more than that) and every single time gets better and better ! This is the advantage of working with same photographers multiple times, you feel like you have so many things to catch up with and it feels more like seeing a friend than just another photographer :)

This time we shot in a lovely Denby Starr Studio for 4 hours and we managed to cover so many different themes. Gary was absolutely outstanding with his organisational skills, he exactly knew what he wanted to shoot, how long for and how to use lighting. I was really positively surprised when I saw results... I need to say he really improved since our last shoot!

Working with Gary was so so enjoyable !! He was so nice, really professional and easy to chat with. We covered many themes while keeping it really relaxed and fun at the same time.

I would definitely like to recommend Gary to every model and I am really looking forward to working with him again. Thank you :)!

I had a super lovely shoot with Gary on my recent tour of Yorkshire.

The shoot was set up by my good friend Tillie, so this was my first shoot with Gary.

The afternoon was really enjoyable and flew by, he is really relaxed and great company.

I would more than happily recommend him to others, and can't wait to have him on my photographic holiday to Croatia next year :D

I first shot with Gary on a photofinca trip to Spain in September and what a barrel of laughs this guy was! Full of fun and banter, the shoots were a real pleasure with Gary :) He captured some absolutely stunning images of me that I am really proud of. He was always smiling, always polite, respectful and just a pleasure to be around.

I then shot again with Gary in December on a joint shoot with my best friend Rachelle Summers at DenbyStarr studios, we had an absolutely fantastic shoot and Gary set up some super cool lighting variations to get a good selection of different styled images. Just as before he was wonderful to work with and I am now looking forward to my third shoot with him this Sunday at my dads farmhouse :) Roll on Sunday

Anothet fab, enjoyable shoot wrapped up with Gary yesterday. We must have worked together many times now but each time gets better and better. I love the fact that Gary is fuss free in his approach but creates stunning images. He is great fun to work with, a laugh a minute and a top bloke. Very highly recommended and I’m sure we’ll work together again very soon. Cheers again Gaz! X

Recommended.

Gary was wonderful to work with! We got some amazing images and had such a nice time laughing away :)

He's a fabulous photographer and had great ideas for our shoot. The lighting was spot on and Gary taught me a thing or two about photography as well as keeping me updated on the images :)

Very easy to work with and a joy to shoot with!

100% recommended X

Had another fab shoot with Gary today and as previously he kindly collected me and dropped me back off home. I love the fact that Gary is fuss free in his approach but creates stunning images. Gary is great fun to work with and a top bloke. Very highly recommended and cannot wait to shoot with Gary again.

Third time/event organised to work with the ever wonderful Gary... So up to now we have shot in a spontaneous/home-set/natural light environment and then went for a studio shoot not too long after. Both of which BLOODY AWESOME! So what was on the agenda next? A few days shooting on the beautiful island of Crete! :D

Yes, to say I was over the moon when Gary confirmed he was available to attend my Photographic holiday event on the Greek island is a complete and utter understatement. Given how instantly we seemed to work like rockstars when shooting together over just two previous shoots, I knew that Gary would be a fantastic person to have on board the trip and someone who would literally catch every creative opportunity with both hands and smash every challenge as it comes. Bearing in mind we hadn't even been outdoors shooting in the UK yet, this was an epic jump and again: given the 1 to 1 nature of the trip/not having strict "we must do this on this day" schedules... Many of the sets and photographic opportunities required some degree of creative spark and teamwork to conjure up the best results. Out there you have piercing sunshine at times, terrain like the surface of the moon, and more style choices than ever before (arty, glam, grungy, editorial... etc.) So it does stretch your imaginative and technical brain to the max but every minute of my days shooting with Gary on this trip was a whole bundle of amaze-balls!

Having not been to Crete prior to this trip myself, it was somewhat mysterious a place... But it goes without saying that Gary made the days so easy for me. From being on-hand to help with directions whilst I was concentrating on driving to insisting on offering kind help to prep food/meals on the eating-in days when he could have been chilling out/enjoying the down-time of the event... He's just such a helpful and considerate person and will always strive to make everyone involved in an event/photoshoot feel at ease with an amazing teamwork atmosphere.

It was so lovely getting the chance to have so many options to hand either at the private villa/pool or out on location: and though Gary had the complete option to propose exactly what will be shot on each of the shooting days, he was still his same wonderful ideas-sharing self and was happy for me to make suggestions so that our trip was a mix of impromptu "ooh, look at that... do you fancy this shot?" and "here's the plan for the day" formats and Gary's usual easy-going temperament made it such a breeze to keep a good flow going from arrival to departure. If everyone had a nature like Gary's then a models job would seem almost effortless... not because you're putting less effort in as a model but because all the energy and time that us models put into building working relationships with the whole spectrum of personalities we meet in the industry, plus moulding ourselves specifically to each photographers style: well none of that seems quite as much a challenge. What you see is what you get! And even though he's hiring a model to, quite rightly, do a job; I just cannot comprehend how much respect and courtesy he shows towards the people that he works with. This appreciation goes such a long way from a models point of view and I am quite sure that my fellow models would agree. :)

So what did we actually shoot in our three phenomenal days blessed with beautiful locations? It's probably easier to say what we didn't shoot! Here is a truly genius photographer who will take on any look and style to make it look awesome! Grecian goddess, fashion diva, poolside glamour, creative makeup, nude in the landscape... so many amazing images! I was blown away just looking at the back of the camera after each day, then when Gary kindly sent me the processed images they needed to come with a pre-warning ticket for the degree of AWESOMENESS!! In the sun/out of the sun/mixing flash with sun; you name it! Gary is one of those creative minds who proves just how much art there is to go into making a stunning photograph from a scene/set. He really is a talented photographer who supplied me with 3 days of epic, arty buzz on my event... as well as unquestionably lovely company and so many laughs in-between and during shooting hours.

His communication was the best I could have wished for and he was an absolute gem from the organisation period right through to the last day which nearly had me cracking up with a wonderful little thank-you gift he presented. I was already simply ecstatic and full of thanks for making the shooting days so fabulous for me, but that just sums up how terrific this gent is. His positive encouragement and passion in what he does should be sold in bottles because it's what makes this job so rewarding.

Gary, I cannot thank you enough. Roll on our horror shoot and more exiting events next year! :D

I have had an amazing shoot with Gary. He arrived punctual and well prepared. He was the most easy going funny and enthusiastic photographer I have ever worked with. We laughed and chatted a loads during the shoot and time has gone so quick.

He made me feel relaxed and he was patient during I was changing.

Images were amazing he showed me them all with clear and sharp quality.

I enjoyed and I hope I will work with him again!

Ps. George says "hello" 😊

I had another great shoot with Gary last weekend this time out on location at Wortley Forge with another model Charn. We shot so much great things, lots of outfit changes and made use of everything we could at the forge, it was a really fun productive day, Gary is so easy to work with fantastic sense of humour and a talented photographer, we already have our next shoot in a couple of days, heres to another fab one :)

cheers Gary

Charn

My second photoshoot with Gary was equally as fantastic as the first: this time around we were booked into a full/professional studio environment which gave us a whole new realm of creative and artistic options for sets/lighting following a great success shooting with just available light at my home previously.

The truly awesome thing about Gary is that he will exert his best efforts into every single photo shoot challenge! It's easy to get comfortable with one style of shooting/one type of lighting because you know it works for you etc. But Gary will literally push his thinking cap to the max the minute a look/set is placed before him and ka-boom: he is onto the technical side of things quicker than the flash itself and really responds beautifully to doing an image the best photographic justice he can. I'm not just talking about getting the lighting looking good; I'm talking about owning every possible creative angle, transforming the image totally with innovative sculpting of the light, bouncing ideas to his models non-stop and really getting into the flow of what is the formula for a really good shoot! :D Gary knows his stuff and he is quite honestly one of the most enjoyable people to work with, not only for the fact that he is a genuinely enthused and imaginative photographer with an excellent eye... but for how lovely a person he is too.

The time did the same thing as before and jolted by like someone had switched on fast-forward! But it has to be said that in that time we nailed some fantabulous sets and had no-end of amazing laughs/chatter as per usual getting on like a house ablaze. It's such a lovely bonus to the job when you can really get on well with those you work with and have a good laugh/discuss all manner of topics which may/may not be photography related whilst feeling like you could all do the job blindfolded because the gelling/rapport has just done the work for you. Sometimes shoots just click like that and you find yourselves on an epic creative wavelength which is a guaranteed blast of yield for lovely photos and awesome banter.

Fun atmosphere aside: for models who have not yet worked with Gary... he is the very definition of professional in his etiquette. End of! He takes an easy going approach to the work (whilst generating limitless levels of passionate drive at the same time) so it never feels pressured/rushed working with Gary. Just a nice, prolific pace which maintains the buzz for creating better than anything. One of the loveliest/most polite people in this industry with a huge heart/totally polite and respectful. His communications are always on the ball, so even when you might be mid-tour... Gary makes it so easy with his super-efficient and flexible communications via PP/email and text.

BIG BIG BIG recommendations and the images we produced were stunningly beautiful! Thank you millions Gary...
