Andy came to my photography trip in Budapest recently for the third time, and as always, it was an absolute delight to work with him! Despite the weather being not so ideal—a sudden drop in temperature and dense fog that gave us no sunrise at Fisherman’s Bastion—Andy’s talent and creativity ensured we still captured an incredible selection of images. Once again, I know I'll be spoiled for choice!

We explored a variety of locations, from charming small towns to thermal baths and metro stations, making the trip as diverse as it was fun. Andy brought along two stunning ballgowns that took the shots to another level (kudos to him for being such an expert packer!). During his extra half-day here, we even squeezed in a shoot at an additional location, where we managed to create magic in just 10 minutes before security asked us to leave (even though I’ve shot there many times before without issues!).

Andy’s professionalism, skill, and ease to work with make him highly recommended. I’m already looking forward to seeing the amazing images he captured!

Met Andy for the first time over the weekend as he very kindly helped out at Fareham Studio whilst Rin was away, for my studio day. He was there to help out with lighting and tea making as and when needed but also happy to stay out the way when not.

We did manage to have a chat between photographers and it was great to have a look through his extensive portfolio of work.

Thanks again for helping out and hopefully we will get the chance to work together at some point! :D

I had a lovely time shooting with Andy at Fareham Studio. He is enthusiastic, and professional throughout. Very keen on experimentation when it comes to setups and lighting. We played around with a variety of my edgy and dramatic outfits. Communications went smoothly. Overall nothing to fault at all. I recommend him and would love to work with him again.

I met Andy on a group shoot at Plymouth studio, and although you never get to get to know each other on such events Andy was super friendly and professional during the time we had. Thanks for coming!

Looking forward to seeing the results

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Andy for the first time at Fareham studio. Pre comms were great ad we discussed a lot of cool ideas beforehand. He was so easy to work with, really polite, friendly and accomodating. We shot a lot of latex and he was very patient, its nice to work with someone who understands how long latex can take to put on! :) My partner came with me and Andy was also super accommodating to him, and made him feel very welcome

We got a bunch of sets done and I'm really looking forward to seeing the final images

I cannot recommend Andy enough and hope to work with him again!

I have just had my second shoot with Andy and what can I say!! He really is a wonderful person to work with!!

Not only is he a fantastic photographer but he is also a very talented stylist too!!😍 He brought a huge collection of latex, corsets and shoes with him and the outfits just scream WOW!!! I literally didn't want to take them off!! It's always great to work with someone with this level of creativity!

He is always up for a laugh during the shoot too which makes it a fun environment and the time just flys by!! I recommend him 100% to anyone considering working with him!!

Thank you for a super fun shoot Andy and I hope to see you again soon!!

I had my first shoot with Andy a few days ago, and it was such a fun one at that! Andy is organised, he replied to my casting and very quickly arranged time and place, which was at the awesome Fareham studios!

He gave me a clear idea on the kind of looks he was looking for and also provided a bunch of different outfits (both latex, and vintage nightwear!) which I absolutely LOVED 😍

We managed to get some really awesome photos together, and I would be more than happy working with Andy again!! Totally recommend him to anyone, especially if you’re down for a fun and lighthearted shoot with a big smile on both your faces! 🌸☺️

So lovely to work with Andy again yesterday whilst he was touring in North :)

Andy is very organised. The shoot he booked me for was planned well in advance, down to the outfits he wanted to provide - he even sent one to my work address to try on to make sure I am happy with the fit & it looks good.

He is always lovely and has a smile on his face, just such a pleasure to be working alongside someone who is not only so passionate and creative but very friendly and down-to-earth too. :)

The shoot itself took place at the Antwerp Mansion in Manchester and we had a whole venue for a day. We shot at least once in each room to make the most of it, it was very exciting deciding together what outfits would go with what location & lighting, it was a real collaboration.

Andy is also more than happy to take my suggestions on board, I really wanted to shoot some gels and fashion shots (my favourites!) and Andy came up with a brilliant idea of using a certain location and adding smoke to the mix. That set was just insane! Loved it!

Thank you ever so much for working with me again.

Andy gets my highest recommendation and I will work with him again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely adored this shoot!!

We smashed it out of the park!! What a man, what a thoroughly original creative and what a fantastic time spent together!! Genuinely, a brilliant experience from start to finish... and we haven't even got to the photos yet... They are.... well.... Sublime!!!

Can't wait to see more of what we accomplished on the day!! I felt we really connected creatively and I can't wait to shoot with Andy again!!

Superb. Nothing less than I expected!! Bring on round two!!

I had yet another fantastic shoot with Andy, we shot at The Granary trialling out some new backdrops and had a blast!

Andy never fails to bring his imagination and creativity to every shoot and I always look forward to working with him.

This time I even got to work with Andy’s signature ‘magic’ lens ;) it made for incredible results and I was blown away as usual!

I can’t wait for our next shoot… Thanks Andy!! ❤️❤️

I've seen Andy's photography work before and have always been a massive fan of his work. His use of colour is outstanding. When I contacted him and he was keen to do a collaboration, I was over the moon. It was an absolute pleasure working with Andy.

Pre-comms was excellent, he communicated very clearly and bounced ideas across each other. He invited me down to the studio, and I had a wonderful time.

It was so nice to meet Andy, he made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and he was really easy to work with and extremely professional.

He sent over the edited photos by the end of the week. Probably the fastest I've seen any photographer edit photos and they're all brilliant too.

Hope to work with Andy again in the future.

Andy recently joined my Budapest photography trip for the second time.

During the three days Andy spent with us, we explored a diverse range of locations, from botanical gardens to industrial estates, ornate libraries, market halls, interactive museums, and much more. The trip was filled with creativity, fun, and, most importantly, stunning photography.

Andy was exceptionally adaptable, especially as we needed to adjust the itinerary due to unpredictable weather changes. His easy-going nature made the entire experience enjoyable.

Andy has a keen eye for details. He brought along outfits and accessories that complemented the locations, with the memorable return of his distinctive crazy boots. Andy's dedication to capturing unique images was evident throughout the trip.

Not only did Andy produce breathtaking images, but he also added a positive and collaborative energy. It was genuinely a pleasure to have him back on the trip.

We've already discussed the possibility of Andy returning in the autumn to capture the stunning colors of the season, and I'm excited about the prospect of working together again.

In summary, I highly recommend Andy for his creativity, professionalism, and positive attitude. His passion for photography and collaborative spirit make him a valuable asset to any photography endeavor.

Had a wonderful first shoot with Andy at Fareham Studio. He had a look through my pinterest board, and built from an initial idea of black gloves in a white bed, to a full black latex outfit in a white bed, kindly providing all the latex! The shoot went really well, and I'm really impressed with the results, we were both aiming for a similar end result, and I think we successfully achieved it! I'm really excited to see the final edits, and thoroughly enjoyed shooing with him.

He was a true professional and so friendly and easy to work with, I would definitely recommend him. I would be delighted to work with him again in the future. Thank you! :)

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Andy last week. Andy is a lovely character to work with, easy going and incredibly creative with a fantastic eye. I was blown away with our awesome shots.

We decided to shoot with Andy's amazing latex collection. He was very patient with me when I sometimes took a while arguing with the outfits! The only down side was not having more time to do even more outfits and ideas.

Thank you Andy, it was great to work with you and I can't wait for the next one!

I’ve recently had two shoots with Andy, which have been so much fun! One Shoot involved me hand painting, my entire body with UV paint and Andy used UV lighting to create some amazing images. The second Shoot was a creepy Halloween themed one this was absolutely hilarious. We were giggling the whole time and the shots we took are brilliant I can’t wait to show you all!! 😂

I love how creative and out of the ordinary, Andy’s ideas are for shoots. I always really look forward to them! We now have a chat especially made for all of our weird and wonderful ideas for future shoots!

The communication before and during our shoots is always great. He knows exactly what images he wants to create. Andy has a variety of props, outfits and accessories which really helped us achieve some really diverse and amazing images.

I always have so much fun on shoot with Andy. Can’t wait for our next shoot together!

Absolutely, completely and thoroughly recommended. Thank you, Andy❤️

I had the chance to work briefly with Andy at a recent Tabitha Boydell group ballet shoot, and I was so pleased when he achieved the first FPI from that group shoot from one of the images we produced together.The photo was really lovely, so it was nice to see it receive that recognition. I'd never worked with Andy before,though I think we may have discussed snow ballet- one of my specialist skills- previously - so it was lovely to achieve an FPI the first time we worked together.

Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again.

Thank You, Andy.

Pre-comms were great, arrived on time and friendly through out. Great to chat to, and I was more than happy to let his experience shine and for him to get on with his visions, yet he was kindly enough to ensure he wasn't being presumptuous and to ask if he needed anything. Perfect.

Well! Long anticipated and planned shoot with Andy! Pre cos where great and I was hopeful for a great shoot, and was not disappointed. Shoot was in Rhyl at Splashpoint studios and we had a great shoot!

It was great to work in ball gowns but also get to do some more more modern fashion that I rarely get a chance to do!

Look forward to seeing Andy again at our next shoot. 100% would recommend!

Had the pleasure to work with Andy 1-2-1 yesterday for the first time. Although we previously met once at the group event, it's just a completely different shoot experience when it's only two of you working together.

Andy came all the way to Sheffield to shoot at Zavod with me. He was so organised and booked plenty in advance. Once I asked him to give me a mood board/rough idea of what we are shooting he was able to do so, and wow did that inspire me!

He is a very talented photographer, respectful and patient. He also wasn't put off by the grittiness of the factory - he literally did everything to get that perfect shot. What a legend.

Andy hasn't asked for a reference, which has surprised me but made me want to leave him a reference even more because I really enjoyed my day.

Thank you ever so much for booking me to work with you.

Highly recommend working with Andy if you get an opportunity.

I met Andy in passing at Fareham Studio and we discussed a shoot. We ended up doing 5 hours of shooting at Fareham Studio and the time flew by!

We did a variety of styles which were very different to most the work on my portfolio. It was so much fun and there is no one I would of rather of done those styles of shooting with.

Andy is super laid back, easy to get on with, fun, and very professional. He made sure I was very comfortable and relaxed before we captured some really fabulous and dramatic images.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the photos I've seen so far and we are already discussing ideas for future shoots!

Without a doubt Andy deserves the highest recommendation.

Thank you Andy!❤️
