I had a wonderful three days at the Studland weekend where John organized everything superbly. Everyone enjoyed themselves in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Thanks again for arranging a superb weekend.

Gary is somebody whose work I've been digging for a long time, so I was chuffed as chips when we got to put our heads together and create some coolness at the most recent Studland Weekender!

He had an epic brief beforehand and a solid tone for what he wanted the shoot to be, but we used that only as a jumping off point so we could find our own method in the madness. Sure enough, we let loose and nailed all the ideas we had before going a little "off piste" to create some more weird and wacky shots on top!

I couldn't be happier with the finished images, but more importantly I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with. Laid back but not lazy, Gary gives great direction while allowing you to freestyle, is quick to offer feedback and show the back of the camera in order to fine tune shots, and is contagiously fun to be around.

Absolute highest recommendation to shoot with this chap – great shots, great fun, great dude!

I modeled for Gary at Studland Bay on Saturday. This was my first shoot with Gary but what a great shoot! Gary is incredibly easy going, respectful and a real pleasure to work with. He gives useful direction and is great shooting with natural lighting. We smashed through different sets in a short amount of time and the pictures on the back of the camera look awesome.

An excellent photographer, DJ and wasp killer :)

Highly recommended and would also love to work with him again myself one day :)

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Gary at the Studland event - WOW!

We rattled through each set, nailing it each time. Gary is amazing at what he does and is an absolute pro at natural light.

We took thousands of shots (literally) and there wasn't a single one I really turned my nose up at!

Aside from that, he is such a warm, friendly and genuine man! Always wearing a huge smile, cracking jokes and putting on the most hilarious aussie accent.

If you ever get the chance to work with him I strongly suggest you take it! I can't wait to see some of the finished products

Highly recommended!

Second time shooting with Gary at Studland Bay, as well as being a super good organiser of the event, Gary is chilled, very awesome, and professional to work with. This time working with Gary I was working with Rebecca Lotus too and Gary was great at directing us (although the weather was against Gary's original plan) with what we had to work with!

I look forward to seeing Gary again.

After Gary's original plans went out the window when the weather got rather chilly, myself & Katie Green worked with him to help achieve as many original looks as possible in the time we had.

He was incredibly easy to work with, open to fresh & diverse ideas & swiftly moved on if we found it wasn't working. There was constant chatter, laughter & I felt completely at ease throughout, with his professional attitude to boot, Gary is an absolute diamond to work with.

Thank you for having me!

I had my first shoot with Gary last weekend and I have to say it was one of the best shoot I have ever had the pleasure of attending! Not only is this man a top class photographer he is also a truly lovely man with a personality almost as good as his photography skills.

Gary's pre shoot communication was perfect, he covered everything and I knew exactly what to expect and what outfits to bring, he even supplies some amazing outfits himself.

Gary was a true professional from arrival to departure and I cant wait to shoot with him again.

I would 100% recommend him 10/10.

(also dose a cracking Australian accent and makes a wonderful cuppa tea!)

Gary contacted me last minute about heading down to Studland as his original model pulled out, and I can honestly say, he is one of the loveliest and funniest photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! He picked me up from Bournemouth Station early Friday morning, and so began a day of shooty fun, Bacon, brilliant stories from his past, lots of giggling, an impromptu set with lovely Freya, and a big helping of tea. Awesome fellow, and such a fabulous photographer. He's the dude.

Highly recommended, work with him people! You'll regret it if you don't! :D

After reading all of Gary's references, I'm not sure I can top them!

Gary invited to me to come along to the Studland weekend this year and I am so pleased I went! As well as being rushed off his feet elsewhere, Gary was happy to answer any of my questions about the weekend as well as booking me for a half day.

After being fed and watered (like the lovely guy he is!) Gary and I took a stroll to the lake- which unfortunately didn't look like it was going to work, so Gary being the top guy he is said "Let's go to the beach!" which turned out to be brilliant.

I lost count of the amount of sets we did, they all looked amazing on the back of the camera.

Gary is hilarious, uplifting and a lovely person.

I am so excited for our next shoot!

Gary booked me for the day to work at his model event at studland house on the weekend.

I was buzzing to work with him as I love his work and I couldn't have been happier with what I was seeing on the back of the camera 😊

Gary is ace!!! Easy going, fun and somehow managed to make me like almost every picture (and I'm picky)

I was very well looked after all weekend, I got picked up, taken home and fed and watered the hole time that I was there 😊

All round fantastic event that he puts together! I loved every minute of it and I really hope I'll have the opportunity to go again.

Highly reccomend and I can not wait to see the images!!

Thanks again Gary!!

Gary!!! You are super. Laid back, funny, friendly but also organised too! You had me at the croissants, bacon and brie tbh...

As for the images- hell I love them and it was easy. Bang, got it, lets try something else. The shoot flowed and was really positive. We got some cracking stuff and lots of laughing happened...just about all I could have asked for! I am excited to see more results from the Studland event, it was great.

Hope to see you at Studland again, Gary! Highly recommended! :)

I worked with Gary at his own organised event, the Studland Weekender. The PERFECT host! extremely laid back, attentive and I was happy when he was the first photographer I would be working with when I arrived. Love his shooting style- positive, upbeat and let me look at the shots as we went along. What more could a model want? The 3 days was a great experience for me! a sociable event in the most beautiful location. I'm looking forward to seeing the results Gary, and coming back to Studland. Thank you so much.

This was my 2nd shoot with Mr VonGeezer and it was just as amazing, if not better, than the first!.. He has the ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed from the second you meet him! .. Although an extremely fun guy he is a true professional, fantastic photographer, I trust his judgement with every shot. He has given me immense confidence since working with him, and his work is just superb, Anyone lucky enough to get offered a shoot with him, take it!! .. I hope to work with him again in the future, cannot recommend highly enough.

I absolutely love working with Gary! Once again, the Studland Bay House shoot was organised so well, a resounding success, as always.

He is such good fun to work with and always full of ideas. A great dancer too ;)

Gary is an all round awesome person, a super photographer and I highly recommend working with him.

Thank you again for the fantastic shoot and for organising such a wonderful event!

Nikita Banana

I was so pleased when Mr Geezer asked me to shoot at Studland House. It's been years since we last worked together and Geezer is just so much fun to work with! We shot some shiny latex and pretty girly lingerie and the pictures looked pretty darn awesome.

Very highly recommended!

I finally got to work with Mr VonGeezer at Studland Bay and I had a hoot! JVP is an awesome photographer, he's so enthusiastic and full of cool ideas. (He also has good music taste too!).

Once again, JVP did an amazing job organising lot's of different models and photographers for the notorious Studland Bay weekend shoot. As always, the whole thing ran perfectly.

JVP is a really great guy, a super photographer and I would highly recommend working with him!
