Gary worked with me at the boardroom for a 4 hour shoot and the time flew by, we worked well together and tried many concepts from dresses on the stairs, to implied using chairs and accessories to try different ideas.. really enjoyable shoot and relaxed, happy to work together again in the future , we produced some great work and Gary is very easy to get along with, would recommend 😊

Another wonderful shoot with Gary!

This time at my Airbnb during my Chester tour. We worked our way through multiple different sets around the house and got some beautiful images together :)

It was so wonderful catching up with Gary! He's such a genuine friendly person to be around, he makes you feel completely at ease in his company and is always happy for you to input ideas into the shoot too.

More than happily recommended by me and really hope we don't leave it too long next time!

It was a delight to catch up with Gary on a recent duo shoot with Artemis Fauna at her lovely home.

Gary is such a lovely person, great company and a pleasure to work with, we covered a lot of styles in the 4hr shoot but still got to chat and move at a relaxed pace.

We created some beautiful images and overall had a brilliant 4hrs, thanks Gary for another great shoot.

See you in 2023.

Best

Gary is an absolute joy to be around, he is such a lovely human being and it's truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with him. His pre shoot communications are excellent, as always, they are also very well thought out which is superb for helping me pack!

I love working with Gary and will happily recommend him to everyone, he's truly fantastic, I can't sing his praises enough. This time around we shot a duo, he travelled to Somerset and arrived on time (actually early!) for our 10am start, and from start to finish, he was polite professional and friendly.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

It is always a pleasure to work with Gary - he truly is a fantastic person as well as a fantastic photographer. His pre shoot communications are amazing, very clear and easy to understand with him often providing image examples so I know what to bring with me. We both understand each other so well that we don't even have to speak about the next shot - often we both just know what to do next!

Gary is such an easy person to get along with, he's friendly and professional with conversation so easy. He is always keen to listen to your ideas, incorporating it into his stride with ease. His skill with his camera is unprecedented, quickly adjusting his settings with ease.

I always love working with Gary, and I look forward to working with him again this weekend! If you're after a fun and easy photographer, then Gary is definitely your man!

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot! I'll see you soon!

I have had the pleasure of working with Gary on three occasions now, all in separate places, and yet each time we've captured stunning images! Our most recent shoot was in PGD Studio, during a brief visit to Leicester. As always, his pre shoot communications were outstanding, he provided me with everything he wishes for me to bring as well as outlining what he hoped to achieve.

He arrived on time for our shoot, bright and early at 8am on a Saturday and was raring to go! We jumped straight into it, and throughout the shoot Gary showed me back of camera shots, which I absolutely LOVE with a capital OVE, it really helps me understand my poses and aim to better the images.

We got through all the sets we had hoped to, and will be seeing each other on two more occasions in July, which I absolutely can not wait for! Gary is such a fun photographer to be around, he's got such an infectious personality, and conversation just flows so so naturally. He's always up for my crazy ideas, happy to give whatever I suggest a go, and I honestly hope he never changes!

Gary was even kind enough to let me have a go at editing some images, which I really enjoyed, and I can't wait to see what he produces too!

Thankyou for yet another amazing shoot, and I'll see you next month! :D

I’m so happy I had the opportunity to shoot again with Gary. He is such a pleasure to shoot with, happy, friendly and creative! Precomms with Gaz we’re great, we spoke about what we wanted to shoot, where and with what attire. Gary even brought items with him which was so much fun to shoot in!

We shot in a dress around the lake with materials and we got some beautiful shots. We did some art nude shots too. Then we shot in the workshop using Gary’s worker boots and high-vis jacket, I loved that! We got some really cool shots on the JCB.

This is my third time shooting with Gary, I’ve enjoyed every single shoot from beginning to end :D I would HIGHLY recommend

Thank you so much for coming Gaz and for another amazing shoot

My second shoot with Gary, and just as productive (if not more!) than the first! His pre shoot communications are absolutely blooming fantastic!! Definitely some of the best - he sent me some screenshots of outfits in advance of the shoot so I knew exactly what to shoot and this formed a rough mood board that we could work from.

When I arrived, Gary was already there, scoping out where to shoot for the best natural light. He's so easy to get along with and really puts you at ease, giving you time to compose yourself between shots, which I truly truly appreciate! The back of the camera shots looked fantastic and I can't wait to see some edits! Gary is genuinely one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of working with and he's also got a fab sense of humour! He's great with his camera, happily adjusting settings as we went.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and would most definitely be happy to work with him again... which I am next month! See you soon!

Thankyou for a truly amazing shoot!

And Gary's back in the house - always a great pleasure to see him and as usual we can't wait to see what he's managed to capture on his day.

Gary's a really relaxed photographer and treats his models extremely well and considerately and as such we have no hesitation at all in recommending him to anyone wishing to work with him.

Thanks for coming Gary and see you again soon.

I had another wonderful shoot with Gary yesterday !! It was my first shoot after a break from modelling and what a lovely shoot back it was!! Gary picked me up from home and we drove to two wei, after having stopped for a lovely morning coffee!

It is always a pleasure working with and being in the company of Gary! We had such a lovely relaxed day! We shot a range of nude, fashion, a little lingerie! Its always a collaboration with Gary which I love, he's always happy to listen to the model, and he is always considerate of the model's needs!

What I also love about Gary is how much effort he puts into the shoot! He's always happy to get on the floor and try different angles! He's always moving and looking for the best composition of the shot! I adore the shots we created at Two Wei ! And I just had a fantastic day! Thanks so much Gary!! Can't wait for the next shoot!!! :D

I had an amazing shoot with Gary, this was our 2nd shoot. We shot at a lovely studio in Leeds, LightSpaceLeeds

We did a set using the huge curved infinity cove wall! It was great for modelling. We shot lingerie, art nude, we experimented with material movement and a posing box. I think we got some fantastic shots from this shoot. Gary is an absolute pleasure to work with. So easy to get along with. Best of all he is a brilliant photographer so I really look forward to shooting with Gary. The BOC shots always get me so excited to edit! The material movement shots were something I’ve not really done properly before. Gary brought a selection and I am sooo glad he did. I cannot wait to share some epic shots from our shoot!

I appreciate Gary coming all that way for our shoot, it was so nice to see him and catch up.

I highly recommend shooting with Gary if you haven’t already :D

Thanks Gary, I look forward to our next shoot in July!

Gary and I had the pleasure of meeting and working together for the first time during my studio day at The Boardroom, and from beginning to end he was a joy to work with.

His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out and properly planned - providing me with a mood board ahead of the shoot so I could plan and pack accordingly, something I appreciate immensely!

During the shoot itself, he arrived on time and was raring to go. He was polite and professional throughout, never grumbling when I stopped for frequent water breaks and the banter was free flowing.

I really enjoyed working with Gary, who was perfectly happy to listen to my ideas as well. He was friendly and approachable and conversation definitely wasn't difficult to make! I'd highly recommend Gary and wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

Great to meet and have Gary shooting here for his first time yesterday.

I have to thank the awesome Ivory Flame for enticing him over. Gary is very pleasant to converse with and is completely respectful of the studio spaces and facilities they offer. He has a great port with plenty of high quality images and I'm really looking forward to seeing some of his results from here.

Happy to fully recommend Gary and hopefully will see him return! – Lee

Disgustingly delayed leaving Gary his latest reference for a few reasons! Nothing to do with Gary's efforts on the shoot or anything - just *STUFF* but rather than ramble on listing why, imma' list why this dude is awesome!!! 😁

So our initial plan was to do a mix of location and indoors (I had a Christmas set built up that we hoped to make use of). But: with a turn of events we ended up just stopping inside which wasn't a bad thing because we got some cracking shots using the quirky locations at my home and focussing on getting some really nice shots rather than rushing if that makes sense? So it actually worked out all hunky-dory. 😃 Plus: Gary can't stay away from Yorkshire for too long because it's the best county in the universe hehe! So it just meant that we would be getting him back for a day to completely trash the locations we have yet to thrash! Watch this space...

So here goes:

-Gary rocked up with his Mini (car) which makes him automatically awesome and part of the elite Mini club.

-Gary was game for me to show him around and suggest/propose sets that might be a priority due to maximum creative protentional or being time-sensitive. (He always values suggestions from models).

-Gary took to working in a different (for us) setting like a duck to water once again... We always seem to shoot somewhere different, and each time it pays off with brand new inspiration and thinking on the spot to get epic images.

-Gary didn't bat an eyelid when an actual tiger intruded in the shoot (he's a chosen one - Tigger is a very shy pussycat usually and hides watching from afar).

-Gary delivered the usual fun vibes and laughs that make one helluva difference on a shoot! A shoot where you don't have that is set to be a looooong day, I think it's the standard for us now! 😝

-Gary brought his usual buckets-load of respect and courtesy to the shoot; I feel completely at ease working with him every single time and would always rate him highly for his etiquette and super duper manners!

-Gary was willing and determined to get the most absurd and mad angles to give some of the shots that real edge... Even when it meant him wedging himself in the most impossible of places in my modest-sized home!

-Gary was generous and kindly allowed me to have usage of the photos immediately after - this was especially nice so I could post and rave about the terrific themed stuff we did in time for the festive period! Tbf, every shoot we do genuinely brings corkers anyway! Appreciate this so much Gary! 🌟

-Gary comes with a tonne of enthusiasm and get-up-and-go for his shoots, he clearly looks forward to getting the best out of the planned events for the day and working creatively with the model to smash something well cool!

-Gary is adaptable and always willing to try new things, be it lighting or styling! He just enjoys the creative process and appreciates the effort and the outcome, plus persevering to get that killer shot just right. (Sometimes it's us pain in the butt models saying "oh, just do this again! 🤣) Patience of a saint this one!

[INSERT ADDITIONAL EXTREMELY POSITIVE COMMENTS X 100]

He's a good egg - that's for sure! 😊 One of the ones who deserves a great whopping recommendation time and time again. Not a bad bone in his body, and just a joy to be in the company of/enjoy a highly creative spin with during the course of a shoot.

The next shoot is ALWAYS an adventure to get excited about... Who knows what we'll do/what chaos (in a good sense) we'll cause?

All the best words from me! But he knew that already. 😃

Thank you ever so much Gary!

Was great to work with Gary again after a few years!

We did a variety of rollerskating in the street - how I'm still standing I do not know... haha

Gary was flexible to my ideas as well as suggesting his own and I think we both worked together really well to achieve the best shots

Really enjoyed shooting together and look forward to seeing you in March!

I had a super shoot with Gary on mine and Ivory Flames duo Pipewell event last month!

Was nice to catch up with Gary and absolutely loved the results from the whole day! We covered a lot of different styles, genres and worked both inside and out.

Excited to see more results from the day and hopefully work with Gary again in 2022 :)
