This was my first shoot with Hamish and found him a delight to work with.

Pre-comms were excellent and through them we discussed the aims fo the shoot. He took on board the theme of the shoot and happily contributed ideas for the poses and movements.

Hamish has wonderful dance technique, strength, athleticism, as well as sensitivity and sense of performance. He embraces jumps with joy and pays close attention to detail.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and hope we can do another. I've only had a very quick look at the images as they were downloading but it looks like we have some great shots.

Hamish comes very highly recommended - if you have an opportunity to work with Hamish, take it.

Great to have the opportunity to shoot with Hamish. Very versatile dance moves, and helpful with a novice shooting motion. Would be more than happy to work with him again

Worked with Hamish at a Sessiondays shoot in Bolton. He is very easy to work with and receptive to the photographer's ideas.

He is also very supportive to the novice dance photographer.

Hope to work with him again and I recommend working with him.

I recently got to work with Hamish at a group dance shoot organised by Session Days. I had caught the dance "bug" the previous year and the opportunity to work with dancers, especially male ballet which is quite rare was an opportunity too good to miss. Hamish was lovely to work with and very approachable to ideas. Although our shoot time was short I got some lovely shots. His technique is fantastic and you won't be disappointed. I look forward to working with Hamish again in the future.

We booked Hamish for a dance event we were running. Hamish is very personable and patient, especially when dealing with many different photographers. He is organised, reliable and professional. A superb dancer and model and highly recommended!

This was my second shoot with Hamish in a very short period of time, and this time he was accompanied by Chrissy, who isn't on PP.

It was fantastic to work with Hamish and Chrissy, who were both thoroughly professional and have amazing technique and plenty of stamina. They nailed jumps and lifts time after time. Such a pleasure to work with

Hamish and Chrissy were great to work with. A great combination of skill and lots of laughs while playing around with poses etc.

I cannot rec0mmend Hamish highly enough, a wonderful model and very accomplished athlete and dancer. You've got to work with him if you get the chance.

I had a fantastic shoot with Hamish and a female dancer who isn't on PP.

We all had some ideas we wanted to work on. In fact the dancers had practiced some of their poses in advance of coming to the studio. So they were exceedingly well prepared.

We managed to cover everything we wanted and had plenty of time to experiment with new ideas too.

I am delighted with the images.

Both Hamish and his dance partner were great to work with. Skilled and professional but also great fun. I could easily have continued for hours more!

I'm happy to give Hamish (and Chrissy) my highest recommendation.

I had a wonderful shoot at my studio with Hamish. We exchanged a number of emails prior to the shoot and aligned our schedules. Hamish arrived on time and we shot for 3 hours using both indoor and outdoor facilities at the studio. I was amazed by the sheer versatility of Hamish and his ability to deliver athletic poses time and time again. I am in the process of arranging a second shoot with Hamish while he is in Ireland.

I would highly recommend working with Hamish to any photographer eager to capture dance and performance images.

Having shot with Jade previously this time with the addition of Hamish, we had a fabulous 2 hour shoot that just flew by .... Literally with several themes and shoot ideas, myself having been busy with work just asked for Red. & Black. As first shoot with Jade we smashed some great shots with black and white props and Jade in Red. Look forward to another shoot in the future

I recently saw there was availability in the duo day Hamish was doint with Pro Ballerina Jade and knew I had to book for a session. Wow I am so glad I did. We had great pre shoot communication via Jade to discuss ideas and came up with a theme for the session which worked out brilliantly. Hamish and Jade were Brill working great together to get the shots and we seemed to be able to bounce ideas off each other during the session to come up with more ideas as we went along. The session went far too quickly but was so much fun and I will definitely be hoping to work with them again in the future. Highly recommend such lovely professional dancers

Just had a wonderful couple of hour shooting with Hamish & Jade at Natural Light Space. What can I say about the session, other than it was a fantastically creative shoot, with all 3 of us bouncing ideas around & finding ways to get the shots we wanted.

I would highly recommend working with both Hamish & Jade, the effort, commitment & professionalism shone through.

Thank for a very quick, but fantastically creative couple of hours.

Excellent shoot with Jade and dance partner Hamish at Natural Light Spaces. Last session of a busy day for them so planned a quiet lazy style initially with them creating poses reflecting stretching and relaxation after a performance. Made good use of old upright piano as a prop - useful for standing and holding whilst stretching. Both Jade and Hamish contributed with their own ideas. Despite a dull rainy day outside still able to use natural light with modern sensors showing much more than human eye! Good images available with closeups of Jade's ballet shoes and legs!

Final session with studio flash and gentle jumping! Both took on board an idea for a composite picture and enthusiastically did several repeats to get the right result.

I wish them both all the best as they separately go off for major projects and hope to see them again in the future.

Had a creative and fun shoot with Hamish, he is a great dancer and can creat cool and difficult dance shapes with seeming easy.

Good communication pre shoot and is fun to work with when shooting.

I can recommend him to anyone who would like to creat great dance images.

Highly recommended

Hamish is a great and promising model. He asked me to produce a piece of art with one of his images as a reference. He provided me with some excellent images to choose from. A real delight to work with. Furthermore it was fun to discuss the process, he was always friendly, cooperative and in time. A delight to work with him.

For me as a former dancer, we had a lot in common. Hamish is a real pro in dance and if you ever want a male dancer as model you should definitely put him on top of your wishlist. Great physique, graceful and masculine at the same time, and superb to work with in a duo. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Pro Ballerina Jade

I have known Hamish for many years, and worked with him in both dance and modelling work which is always a pleasure - and our recent duo dance shoot with photographer Paul Hassell was no exception!

I can always rely on Hamish to execute difficult lifts and poses with ease (You need to be able to trust your partner when being lifted overhead!). He gave 100% to our shoot, and was willing to give different things a go! Moreover, he was incredibly responsive to instruction from both myself and the photographer.

Hamish is a true gentleman, and makes everyone he’s working with feel comfortable with his charming personality and sense of humour!

Then there’s the images… they speak for themselves! From another dancer, I can tell you that you are getting the real deal with Hamish, and his years of hard work and dance training really show. He is a true professional!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hamish! Thank you for our shoot (and thank you for not dropping me!)
