I got to shoot with this lovely photographer whilst on a studio day at Inspire Studios in Salisbury weekend just gone!

He is a very respectful and professional fellow, who has a wonderful way around his camera and used the scenes/light beautifully!

I cannot recommend this fabulous individual enough to all models and studios, he is a an absolute star and a joy to work with :)

Another great shoot with Gaurav at the fantastic Inspire Studios for my Studio Day. We shot a range of fashion and portrait, along with Gaurav's amazing ideas of colour pops! Gaurav is very friendly, great interaction whilst shooting and full of ideas. Thank you again and looking forward to working with you soon. Kind regards Hannorah

Enthusiastic, professional, and positive, my shoot with Gaurav was an absolute pleasure. Being able to bounce off someone so easily for new ideas and creativity was really nice to have in a shoot!

Thank you so much for sharing your time with me, giving me great advice for the future and making fantastic work through a fun-filled session 🙂

I can’t wait to work with you in the future and would recommend to any model looking to work with an amazing experienced professional!

After rescheduling twice due to bad weather, I finally got the chance to work with Gaurav, and it was well worth the wait!

Gaurav was fun to work with, had some really creative ideas and is clearly an amazing photographer!

The pre comms were great and I knew exactly what to bring and what kind of theme the shoot was headed towards.

I highly recommend shooting with Gaurav, I can’t wait for our next one!! :)

I’m glad that I got to work with the lovely Gaurav at the recent creative make up group shoot at Inspire studios! He was friendly and chatty, he was complimentary of my photography too which was greatly appreciated. Gaurav is clearly an amazing photographer himself and I hope I get the chance to work with him again! Highly recommended.

My second shoot with Gaurav, which again was at Inspire Studios with my make up by Sister of Sinister.

Gaurav is a fantastic photographer and I love his editing styles. He is very friendly and chatty, and creates the most beautiful images.

Thank you again Gaurav, looking forward to working with you again very soon for our third shoot.

Kind regards Hannorah

Although Gaurav is a regular visitor to the studio so I don’t do a reference for him every tim, as he was one of the photographers on our group shoot at the weekend I thought I’d drop him another reference in. Yet again Gaurav was a pleasure to have at the studio, he always fits in really well with whoever is in the group and is very respectful of the models. He always takes time to talk to the models and explain what he is after as well as ensuring they are happy with the shots too. He comes with great ideas to make his photography slightly different to others and his work is beautiful. Definitely recommend working with him.

Fantastic shoot with Guarav yesterday!!! I am actually still buzzing from it.

Pre comms were so perfectly smooth, everything discussed ideas wise beforehand, nothing left out, I was encouraged to have my own input too ( which I was always love) and I think even from this stage we were on the same page with what we wanted from the shoot.

We met at where we planned to shoot, quick recap over what we wanted and spoke about the route we would go and styling I brought and then straight to work.

The whole shoot was effortless. Gaurav is great for conversation, he's a hard worker (with actually anything he does in his life.) So kind and really creative too! His work does speak for itself...but just incase you didn't know.... you are guaranteed an uplifting, stylish, quirky, full of laughs shoot WITH fantastic images to showcase this when you work with him!

Can not wait to see the images, but more so, can't wait to work with him again too.

Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Gaurav during my recent studio day at Inspire Studios. He is not just a great photographer but a lovely person to work with and very easy to get on with. We shot fashion and portraits which was really enjoyable. Gaurav had many awesome props including very cool sunglasses. Gaurav comes very highly recommended by me and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.

I had my first shoot with Gaurav and I have totally enjoyed it. Gaurav is such a creative photographer and a pleasure to work with. He’s so easy to talk to, chatty and funny, hard work and opened to different ideas.

I cannot recommend him enough and I am looking forward to further collaborations.

Thanks

I have now worked with Gaurav several times and it's always a huge pleasure :-)

This time was slightly different as on other occasions it's been in a group setting where as this time it was a 1-1 with MUA Beautywithin. He nailed it! He is such a pleasure to model for, full of enthusiasm and fun with great ideas. His pre comms were fantastic which meant the running of the day went that much smoother and we covered so many cool looks and sets. Gaurav is one of those photographers you could work with time and time again, so much so I have another 3 shoots already lined up with him so that tells you something! Needless to say he gets the highest of recommendations from me and I very much look forward to May :-)

Today I shot with Gaurav for the first time around London.

We met in the cool area of shoreditch which has lots of potential and urban areas to shoot.we half various different places using different backdrops around London.

Gaurav has an unlimited bag of tricks which never seems to end filed with props, fairy lights and sunglasses, honestly perfect for shooting!

We had a good chat whilst shooting as he was very friendly and at ease whilst shooting, he knows what he wants to achieve and gets it done! No fuss involved and completely chilled!

Images looked really cool on BOC so I’m looking forward to seeing edits!!

100 percent from me! Looking forward to shooting in 2019

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Gaurav at Inspire Studios in Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. Pre-comms were thorough and full of ideas - on the day, we worked through a variety of sets and created some beautiful images. Gaurav is very creative and experimental as well as being warm, friendly and respectful. It was a pleasure to work with him - I look forward to next time! Recommended.

This was my first time shooting with Gaurav and I had a lovely time. He was easy going and I felt very comfortable throughout the process.

We shot lots of Bokeh London shots that have turned out beautifully; would definitely work with him again.

I shot with Gaurav for the first time at a workshop and then again one-to-one this weekend. I was impressed with his creativity and ability to execute some great ideas. He was friendly, gave direction well, took some fab shots and was great in his prior communication. Definitely recommended!

I had my second shoot with Gaurav this time from my home and on location at a woodland near my house. I'm really excited to see Gaurav's portfolio grow and grow as he has fantastic ideas and pulls them off really well.

On location we did some autumn style shots with fairy lights as well of course! He got a lovely smiley shot of me (on his port with all the yellow bokeh) and I absolutely love it!

A really lovely guy who is easy to talk to and spend the time shooting with.

Highly recommended.

I was booked as the model for a studio day with Ilus Photography. Gaurav was attending the workshop, and straight away he was extremely professional.

I look forward to seeing you at another workshop in the near future! I hope you like the images,
