It was a pleasure working with Gerard, I feel bad just because I didn't feel as prepared. But Gerard reinsured that everything was okay. Calm and collective individual. Visionary person, always giving me advise and tips which I am happy about, it makes me gain knowledge and as well enjoy what I do more. I would 100% highly recommend Gerard and can not wait to work with you for the second time around, thank you sir :-).

I met Gerard for the first time last saturday down at his place in london and we had a a thoroughly enjoyale shoot. Gerards communications are clear as can be and he came and met me promptly and we got along right away. He is a friendly and approachable guy with a great manor who is very relaxed to shoot for. He was very undemanding of what he wanted from me and I was facinated watching him work with the lights. We had a great laugh during the shoot and even added some extra time on at the end. I would definitly recomend him. Thanks a lot Gerard.

I shot for a 3rd time with Gerard again at his stunning London home set up recently...

He is a very professional and creative individual who gives fabulous direction & has the most wonderful ideas that are so fun to put into practice!

I do love working with this fantastic photographer as he really knows his angles and has a collection of lighting equipment that he does really use in a beautiful way...I can't recommend Gerard enough, he will blow your socks off :)

With brilliant & super extensive pre-comms, my shoot with Gerard was set to be a wonderful one!

He is a very professional and beautifully experimental photographer, who has an eye for detail and a lovely way with the camera - he's a whizz at picking out the best natural light and nooks & crannies to shoot in, whilst directing clearly & precisely to create different concepts!

This is the second time I've worked with Gerard and it just keeps getting better! I can't recommend this fantastic photographer enough :)

I worked with Gerard for the first time, at his home studio, up to art nude. Gerard's pre-shoot comms were great and he had lots of fab ideas. He was professional at all times and easy to get along with. The shoot flew by with lots of conversation and laughter. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot. I really enjoyed working with him and hope to work with him again soon! I'd recommend him to other models :)

His pre shoot communication was spot on, he's fun and makes you feel really relaxed, sorry we arrived a bit early while setting up 😀, overall a great shoot.

Would definitely recommend Gérard.

Shooting with Gerard at one of Mark Cleg's photographic workshops in Barry was a very fun experience indeed, he is a patient and relaxed photographer who has a fun demeanour, and he encourages the model beautifully, giving direction with vision & imagination!

I wholeheartedly recommend Gerard to all, he's a wonderfully talented photographer :)

I had a fabulous afternoon location shoot with Gerard on London's South Bank today - Gerard knew his locations well and just how to use the natural lighting to create some interesting portraits. I really enjoyed the way he allowed me free rein to explore aspects of myself while he took care of the set up so that the lighting enhanced the pose. He is fun and entertaining and we had an instant rapport. He was also experimenting with some new kit so it was a journey of discovery for both of us.

I'd definitely recommend Gerard and we are already in discussion for a couple of 'themed' shoots for the future.

I worked with the lovely Gerard at his lovely home on my Milton Keynes tour and had such a lovely half day together which flew by! Gerard is such a character- when you meet him for the first time, you feel like you have already met! He is so warm, chatty, down to earth and full of life! He instantly made me smile- He has a massive love of Brazil and made me laugh with his many tales! :P

Gerards home was a lovely space to work in and he was very considerate- offering me cups of tea and making sure I was warm and comfortable. He was also very good at lighting and directing the model when needed which I appreciated. Such a lovely, funny guy and I hope we work together again soon,thankyou for a lovely shoot! :) Helen x

A fantastic second and first 1-1 shoot with Gerard last week.

Gerard is friendly and easy to talk to and have a laugh with, making me feel totally at ease.

He is also very patient throughout shooting, trying many different lighting techniques which all turned out pretty darn good. I was much impressed and pleased with the results from our shoot :)

Conversation flowed easily and any direction given was great.

Overall I had a fantastic day with great results and I look forward to possibly working together in the future.

Thank you Gerard,

highly recommended :D

I had the pleasure to make a portrait shoot with Gerard in an outdoor location. I was amazed that he could get such good results only with natural light. His outdoor portraits have the same quality and precision as studio work.

He's also very easy to go and makes you feel confortable. I recommend him without hesitation! Thank you Gerard!

I worked with Gerard on a recent group shoot in Derby.

A very polite and friendly guy, who knew what he wanted from the shoot.

Any direction given was great and made me totally at ease.

I would happily work with Gerard again if he would have me and I would highly recommend him to other models!
