I had very positive experiences working with Colin last year in UK before my health issues made me return home to Canada for a while. He is a gentle soul with an honest love for shooting, and I find it very easy to get on and play with him while we are working hard on great art. We reunited in a shoot recently, he made the long trip by train to shoot me from home in Cumbria. It was by far the most productive shoot yet. We had an absolutely amazing time climbing all over the house and putting together simple, but imaginative sets. He is wonderful to work with art nude and implied - loves to incorporate some themes and props to make an interesting portrait. He also did a handyman job for me as a curtain rod fell down just before he arrived, and I needed help drilling into my thick plaster walls. I hope we will continue working together, as I always leave our shoots just filled to the brim with happiness and satisfaction. Thanks again Colin

Another fabulous shoot with Colin from my home studio 😊 we worked on an array of looks this time and I was chuffed with the diversity of our session 🙌

Colin is very chatty and fun to work with, easy going and knows his lighting well. A very pleasant chap to work with and I’d be very happy to recommend to any model.

Many thanks for another wonderful shoot and I’m looking forward to the wet look set next 🙌

Best wishes

I Had the lovely joy of working with Colin on a home shoot recently and he's definitely someone i would work with again.

He arrived on time, had a quick scope of my home to figure a quick plan then discussed with coffee and tea. we got to work and it flew by. He definitely has ideas and happy to express what he's looking for but happy to let me run with it in my own way. He's a lovely man and a joy to have working with.

Thanks for a good shoot and see you soon!

I had my first shoot with Colin at my home studio recently. Colin was one of quite a few who had answered my home casting and I’m glad I picked him! A lovely person to work with and you wouldn’t know he is new to model photography as he lives around and tries all different angles to get the best of his shots and knows his lighting. He certainly has a good eye for it and I for one can’t wait to watch his model imagery blossom! We sjot a mixture of lingerie and fashion with some topless and implied. I saw plenty of great back of camera shots and Colin has been kind enough to send me a few already to give me a sneak preview!

Thankyou for travelling all that way and for a fabulous shoot. I’m looking forward to the next one.

Best wishes

I had a great shoot today with Colin. Comms were clear, Colin was very welcoming, assisted me with my bags and made me feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. We did a mixture of fitness and fashion and captured some great shots! Colin even went out his way to buy some food in to make me some sandwiches, god bless him!

Thanks again Colin

I had the pleasure of meeting Colin yesterday for our very first shoot and all I can say is I hope it's not our last!!

Colin is very polite, well mannered and super professional. Our conversation flowed easily and we received some great results almost instantly!

I am very pleased to have worked with him and I can't wait to see more of his work.

Thank you so much for a fun relaxed shoot!

Until next time 🙂😀🩷

It was indeed very happy Name day to me - Colin offered last min photo shoot offer which was a great delight after being ill for some week.

Although we did not had a set plan - we had a vision - smth experimental, provocative, yet within ''studio'' and ''black nouir'' theme.

I know Colin for years now, and I trust him in a heartbeat. He is one of the most reliable photographers, who is still discovering preferable styles yet dives into challenges and executes them at a high standard.

Also, Colin loves to treat his models with home-baked bread and freshly made traditional soup which enriched our lunchtime break to another new level.

Well-knowledged men and absolute gentlemen, honor to work with him.

The highest recommendation is possible.

Looking forward to exploring the next wool project with Colin.

I had a lovely shoot yesterday with Colin after he booked a session with me at my new studio in Manchester.

Colin arrived on time and was warm and friendly with great ideas and very easy to work with. Highly recommended and I hope to work with him again.

SORRY THIS REFERENCE IS SOOOO LATE!!! This isn't a reflection on your or the shoot we did together.

Answering one of my castings, you came along for a shoot at my home. Picking you up from the station and returning you after was no problem at all. Thank you for the food also!

Organising the shoot with you was straight forward and to the point, which is something I respond very well to. You were chatty, friendly, the time wasn't awkward and actually, the images speak for themselves.

I would work with you again without hesitation and I recommend to all!xX

Had a great first shoot with Colin this week at my place!

Pre communication was smooth and on spot!

We shot 4hours and went through different style and ideas discussed previously and went with the flow. Mainly use natural light. I enjoyed shooting together, he is professional and has a good eye to catch beautiful shots. Lovely personality, friendly, kind and respectful.

I am looking forward to shooting with him again in the near future and 100% recommended to any creatives!

Thank you :)

I've had two shoots with Pic Bakery. The first time I came to him. The second he came all the way to me.

All the way from Manchester to Cumbria, by train, to an unmarked cottage in the rain.

He was stumped as most are when they first see the tiny dark interior of my cottage, which I am very clear about in the castings, but still presents various barriers to the photographers who enter. But I got him a coffee and let him warm up and we shot.

I really enjoy shooting with him. We had magic happen throughout the afternoon and evening. We shot a vast range of themes and the highlight for me was doing a mismatched vintage western feel, under my stairs on my desk, with a cowboy hat and the old phone prop he brought and taught me how to appropriately pose with. We got some of the most amazing shots Ive ever had taken of me and I can't wait to process them still.

He also made bread by hand to bring as a prop and we made some lovely homemmaking pinups by the fire.

I went on tour after and neglected the reference for weeks. But I hope he knows I remember it all clear as if it were yesterday. Can't wait for our next shoot. -Colleen

First time shooting with Hadj! We shot a range of levels & styles at my apartment from fashion-art nude. He arrived right on time & had great coms. He was respectful & a great personality!

We are even talking about another shoot in the near future.

I absolutely recommend him to other models!

Thank you again!

This was my first shoot of the tour. It was a heavenly evening. Pic_Bakery is a consummate pro at what he does. Somewhat astonishing to see what he can create in his home with his own sets which he built, and with his gear which he has masterful command over. It felt very natural to pose and create with him. He had inventive ideas and also did well with classic themes. I'm really inspired by the photography books he inherited and keeps in his home - it must be the reason he is so good at shooting classic, but totally thrilling portraits of women. I am happy to be part of his art and hope we work together in the future.

We met with Pic_bakery first time via Instagram. I had the pleasure to be his second model ever to work with.

We got along straight away, and he wears his nickname for a reason - he is absolutely fab at making the finest bread.

Photography as he says is a hobby to him, but I do see some more and more effort on the set each time we meet. He has styled me also the paper dress, and we have tried several cheeky ideas as well as classics.

He really is a pleasure to work with, always full of ideas and ready for experiments.

Highly recommended.

Thank you Pic_Bakery for always enjoyable shoots and also thank you for your treat on the set with freshly made bread. I am a lousy cook but one day I will learn.
