A very enjoyable shoot with Gary , we had worked together previously at a group shoot and it was lovely seeing him again one to one . He picked me up and took me home from the studio which was very kind

Pre comes were great and a idea / mood board for the shoot was provided

We got creative with different lighting , i especially loved the first set with a window light projection on the backdrop, was such a fun easy going shoot and I really enjoyed bringing his ideas to life

Gary is professional and is able to produce high quality images, highly recommended!!

Thanks for booking me

So I had the pleasure shooting again with Gary this time at my home, Gary is a very professional photographer, gary has great ideas and knows what he is doing,

It was lovely to have a catch up.

I would recommend him to all.

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Its that time again were I leave Gary another glowing reference :)

Gary has worked at the studio multiple times & now a regular at our workshops.

Gary also hires the studio to work with models on a 1 to 1 basis too.

He is the most helpful photographer I know & always offers to help with lighting & set moving.

Gary is also a great photographer, knows what he is doing with studio lighting & always produces quality results.

Its always a pleasure to have him in the studio. He is very respectful with every model he works with & gets on well with everyone in attendance on our workshops.

Theres loads more possitive stuff I could say, but I won't rattle on too much. :)

This guy is a Top Gent & always welcome at the studio.

I had a wonderful few hours shooting with Gary at The Apex studio. Gary was friendly and relaxed throughout, and we took some really cool shots using my violin and a funky lighting idea. We worked through some portraits and lingerie, and I loved what I saw on the camera

Would definitely recommend shooting with Gary I had a great time !

Thanks

What can I say that I haven’t said already…… it is always a pleasure to work with this man! This was my fourth shoot with Gary. I took part in a workshop evening at Apex studios in Telford where I was lucky enough to work with Gary again. He is such a lovely person, very easy to get along with and professional whilst able to have a laugh and a good time during the shoot. I would highly recommend working with him and look forward to future shoots! It was so lovely to see you again! Daniella x

It was my third time shooting with Gary today. This time we decided to have a change from the studio settings and use my home instead. I am so pleased with the photos that we managed to get and cannot wait to see the final results!! Time goes so fast when working with him. He is such a lovely person and really does make you feel at ease. Highly recommended by me :) Thank you Gary for a great shoot! See you in the New Year x

Gary came to another one of my workshops/group shoots at The Apex Studio recently, he was kind enough to pick me up from the station and even wait as my train was cancelled!

Gary is always a pleasure to shoot with, friendly, funny and laidback.

Recommended as usual:)

I met and shot with Gary for the first time at an aeropark. The shoot was slightly colder and darker than expected so we had to quickly re think the plans.

Gary was friendly and easy to shoot with, he clearly knew the kind of image he want to achieve. Gary's a professional and talented photographer who I would happily shoot with again and I have no hesitation in recommending him to other models.

Good to see Gary again shooting with Theresa Louise. Very competent photographer and a really nice guy who had a good shoot whilst being respectful to the studio, its equipment and his model.

Pretty confident that Gary went away with some great images and can thoroughly recommend Gary and hope to see him again soon.

I had another wonderful shoot with Gary recently, when I modelled for a group of photographers at East Midlands Aeropark.

Gary organised my lift for me and kept me up to date with all the plans. I’m so pleased he and the organiser thought of me for the shoot, as I had a wonderful day and was completely in my element.

Gary is utterly amazing and I ALWAYS know I’m going to have a great shoot if he’s involved. He’s a ray of sunshine, and it was needed given the weather on the day 😂 His images are stunning, and he’s always kind enough to share some with me. The images from this shoot were no exception, I love them!

Recommended always, and already looking forward to our next shoot! Thanks Gary 😁❤️

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Gary has attended a number of workshops at the studio as well as private hire.

He was back again today for a 4hr shoot with another model

He is a great bloke to work with & great to chat to.

He works really well with his models & always looks after the equipment

As per....highly recommended.

I worked with Gary again twice recently, at The Apex Studio during a workshop and on a location shoot a few days later.

Gary is a pleasure to work with, very considerate and goes out of his way to help, he picked me up for our location shoot and was friendly as usual.

Unfortunately we shot for about 1 hour instead of 3, due to the sunset being nowhere to be seen and Gary being very conscious of me getting cold. But we still got some lovely shots and I hope we can reschedule soon.

Highly recommended :)

I’ve actually had two shoots with Gary since I last left a reference (in my defence they were in quick succession- within a week in fact!)

First I was so pleased to work with Gary again at Dracup’s cottage in Bridgnorth. It was Gary’s second visit to the location as there is so much potential at the property, we ran out of time to get through everything last time we shot there.

As always, It was so lovely to catch up with Gary and we always capture such amazing images in the process.

Our second shoot was at a local Rapeseed field I’d managed to get permission to use. It was an evening shoot and we spent a lovely couple of hours making the most of the last of the colourful spring flowers. Again, I had a lovely time in Gary’s company and the images I’ve seen from the shoot are stunning!

Needless to say I’d recommend Gary to everyone and I look forward to working with him again in a couple of weeks time. Thanks so much Gary 😊

I had a great shoot with Gary last week at the Apex studio, he was relaxed and welcoming. I really wanted to achieve a specific look and Gary did a wonderful job at capturing the images that I wanted. He offered some really helpful direction and ideas and was knowledgeable about ensuring the lighting was perfect! I would definitely work with Gary again and would recommend him highly 😊 thanks again! Talisa

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Gary came to Basford to work with Katey Model on her sold out studio day.

Pre comms with Gary where great. Gary arrived on time and well prepared for the shoot. He was completely respectful of our location and looked after everything meticulously.

Gary is easy to be around and a great photographer!! I would have no hesitation recommending him! He is welcome back to Basford anytime and I hope to see him again soon! Thanks Gary!!

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Always a pleasure to have Gary at the studio.

Always helpfull & gets on great with everyone, whether, shooting 1 to 1 or in a group environment.

Gary is an experienced photographer & knows how to get the best out of his lighting producing some beautiful images.

Highly recomended

I absolutely adore working with Gary and I was so happy to hear he’d booked onto Wednesday night’s ’Debbie Harry’ inspired group shoot at Apex Studio.

I know it’s going to be a good shoot if Gary’s there. He’s a funny, warm, wonderful soul with an amazing creative spirit. As always, he was a fantastic addition to the group, and everyone there would agree.

I’ve seen a few of Gary’s images from the evening and they are, unsurprisingly, stunning! He’s honestly a magician!

I’ll always recommend Gary to others and I’m looking forward to our next shoot already! Thanks lovely ❤️

Had a great shoot with Gary today, pre coms were fantastic and he sent over a mood board to give me an idea of the images he was after.

Gary is very professional and a true gentleman.

I would recommend him to all models and I would definitely work with him again.

Thanks again for a great shoot.
