I had an absolutely cracking shoot with Andy yesterday. He had ideas that he easily conveyed in comms and they translated beautiful in the studio.

Andy is clear with ideas and works well on the ball. The images were tethered to a monitor so we could see easily what we were working with. He is so easy to get along with and professional and all round top bloke!

I would definitely work with Andy again and would recommend him 100% to anyone. The images so far are absolutely amazing! Thanks for a top shoot 😊

This was my very first ‘time for’ shoot, and Andy was brilliant to work with. He was personable, encouraging, and clear with directions/instructions. I loved his ideas for the shoot, & (aside from being nervous, as it a first proper shooting experience) I was comfortable & happy throughout.

Overall it was a fantastic first experience, & I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

So I had my first shoot with Andy and I’m sure it won’t be my last!

Andy has such an eye for detail! His lighting skills are fantastic, and he has a lot of great concepts! His work speaks for itself!

We created some of the best pics I’ve done so far!

I would recommend Andy to both new and experienced models, you won’t be disappointed.

Always a bonus when the tog makes a good coffee and gets on with your music choices :)

Look forward to the next time mate!

Thanks so much.

What can I say about Andy? His work speaks for itself really.

We come up with so many themes and ideas and he just smashes it out of the park with his images every time, I’m privileged to have them in my portfolio.

We’re already planning our third shoot.

I would definitely recommend Andy, especially if you want some awesome images for your portfolio - he’s the guy!

Looking forward to 2020 already.

This was my first time working with Andy and I have always had a fascination of his work, it’s very inspiring and am so glad we finally worked together. Our ideas was mostly similar, the style and the theme. He was so friendly, easy going. When I first arrived he offered me a tea to help me with my poorly cold, bless him.

He knew what he wanted from the shoot which is always a fantastic quality. He was organised and very passionate.

I recommend him 110% percent. Will be coming back to do another shoot with him that’s for sure. His work blows my mind 🤪😍

Had a super fun day with Andy after planning to meet up for 7 months now, and it was well worth the wait! Andy is an incredibly considerate and friendly photographer. He also has a good blend of flexibility and meticulousness with his shooting approach which resulted in many shots that really made me go WOW. I adored the action-packed themes he suggested, and am grateful that he was receptive to the ideas I brought to the table. Pre-shoot comms were excellent as well. I already can't wait for my next shoot with him. Highly recommend!

Andy and I had been planning a shoot for over 12 months but our schedules got in the way I finally got to shoot with him today and it was an absolute joy.

He helped me style my outfits. a brilliant photographer made me feel so relaxed which helped towards making some really cool images.

I look forward to working with you again Andy

P.s he buys the best doughnuts EVER!!! Just saying 😂😂

I need to start by saying - I cannot recommend Andy enough, he is an absolute dream to work with!

From start to finish, initial communication, planning, the shoot itself, processing and finally posting the images, communication is outstanding.

Andy has a great imagination, is very resourceful and has clear ideas from what he wants from a shoot. His research is second to none and as a result you are always on exactly the same page at the same time.

From outfits, poses, lighting, props, outfits, everything is looked into to achieve the desired look.

What really makes Andrews pictures come to life though is his attention to detail with lighting. His knowledge is excellent!!!!

Andy manages to tone light so beautifully, and his attention to detail is remarkable. I learn a lot from working with him which is another massive bonus.

Coffee is always plentiful (its the good stuff too!!) he is a delight to work with, banter a plenty and a great sense of humour.

I love working with Andy and as I said at the start - I can't recommend him enough.

Thank you again for another truly epic shoot.

Ok well I can't believe that I've taken so long to leave this reference!... Huge apologies for that!... But anyway moving onto the shoot itself!..

So how was it I hear you ask.... meh... it was... you know... alright!...

.... Absolutely epic actually!!...

Well I've been loving Andy's work for years, never contacted him because I have this thing about not contacting awesome photographers through fear of them laughing in my face! But finally I contacted Andy & thankfully he didn't laugh in my face!...

Comms were fabulous, mine not so, so thank you for putting up with that Andy! But we made up a moodboard and shared ideas, spoke about what would work etc ...

Working in Andy's studio space was awesome, I had everything I needed, lots of cuppas and biscuits etc... He kindly picked me up from the station and dropped me back also!...

Now Andy's space is small, but boy does he create some absolutely stunning images in it!... The beauty of working with Andy is, he knows what he's doing with lighting, is creative with lighting and is creative with his photography!

The shoot was wonderful, we really worked together to make some stunning images, some of which were published!

Andy is also a lovely person to boot, chatty, friendly, likes a good giggle and is 100% professional! The whole shoot flew by, but was relaxed, creative and I felt totally comfortable throughout!...

Highly recommended! And I can't wait to shoot with him again!...

Absolutely genuinely lovely person and incredibly talented photographer..

Thanks again Andy!

What can I say.....I’d seen Andy’s work on my Social Media for a while and had wanted to shoot with him as his style of work is awesome. He’s very unique and isn’t afraid to try things.

Pre shoot communication was fab and he even set up a pin interest board with shoot ideas for me to work with for costume inspiration.

When I arrived he had already set up and we started shooting straight away.

He also asked whether there was anything special he could get me to eat and drink on the day of the shoot (looking after my welfare), and always asked whether I was hungry or needed a drink which is very rare as not many photographers do.

We worked through 5 different sets of images and I can’t wait to see the final ones.

I would definitely highly recommend Andy, not only one of nicest photographers in the “industry” but he also creates amazing images.

I’m already researching new costumes I can get for another shoot with him in the future :)

Andy responded to a casting call I put out and I am so happy that he did. After viewing his amazing portfolio, I just knew the shoot was going to be awesome. Pre-comms were amazing, a consistent exchange of ideas to which formed to be a fantastic set plan.

After discussion of the theme and styling the decision was made to shoot on location and Andy was open to suggestion so We shot at a location I had made him aware of. On the day I showed him around the different areas of which he was eager to explore more of. He arrived very prepared which is always so nice to see, after the tour of the location he was busy setting up, rearing to go and thoroughly excited of which I felt the same.

We shot a creative horror-based theme and wow he absolutely nailed the essence of the bat Queen in all her hauntingly, seductive, femme fatale glory.

I am over the moon with the images captured, they are out of this world. We bounced off each other so well with a constant flow of ideas and added inspiration throughout the duration. I felt so comfortable around him. This is a photographer who is truly dedicated, professional but knows how to have a laugh on set, committed, attentive and produces excellent results. I am so happy to have worked with him again and I hope to again in the near future.

Highly recommended

Today I had my first shoot with Andy. Absolutely pleasure to work with him. We had a shoot in his home studio. When I arrived everything was ready for the shoot and Andy was very welcoming with drinks and biscuits. Andy told me few ideas for the shoot so we were ready to start it straight away. Shoot was relaxed, fun and enjoyable. He is also professional and photographer with his own style. I think we had a great team work - Good communication trough the shoot. He showed me photos all the time and I already know that some of them are absolutely amazing. 100% recommending and I would like to work with him again.

It is always exciting and refreshing to work with Andy. He has such an amazing eye for detail and his creativity is remarkable. We had been planning this shoot for a while and to watch it come to life is unbelievable. Andy is truly one of the most talented photographers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I particularly appreciate that Andy is very collaborative, it makes it much more fun to play with ideas and bounce off each other. I would recommend Andy to anyone who is interested in working with a generous, multi-skilled creative.

Thank you Andy, can't wait to work with again in the near future. Amazing work!

Andrew and I had a shoot today and he was an absolute delight to work with! He made me feel really comfortable, confident AND provided snacks😍 (always a bonus!) I couldn’t recommend Andrew enough! He showed me the images throughout the shoot and that really helped in creating some amazing photographs ✅ It was the perfect way to spend my Saturday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rue Moriah

Working with Andrew on this latest project was such an amazing experience. We had been planning the shoot for months and when it finally came to the day, everything was set. Andrew is a real artist and I was blown away with how the photos were looking pre-editing!

His studio is a homely setting and his lovely wife made me nice sandwiches! There were snacks and drinks throughout so we were able to focus on the work which I think is awesome. I would definitely love to work with Andy in the future and would recommend anyone to work him. He is an absolute rare gem!

absolutely awesome shoot with Andy yesterday, not only was I ring mistress but I tried to replicate a poster image from an icon, I was an ice/alien queen (best description I could come up with), we sampled leather clad chic and fashionable fur. I love working with Andy, aside from cracking ideas in the first place, he has great vision and discusses with you in depth the outfits, poses and accessories, and of course I have to mention his ability to bring his ideas to life!! Everything is researched and prepared and his lighting techniques are excellent (I'm sure he will tell you otherwise though ha ha). Not only is he a joy to work with, each shoot is a lesson in itself, Andy is kind enough to explain his set ups. I try to watch, learn and take a little of it away with me. His attention to detail is excellent and his editing blows me away. If you are lucky enough to get a shoot with this man, consider yourself one lucky soab and throw yourself into it 100% you will not be disappointed!! Thanks Andy x

I had the most amazing time shooting with Andy last Saturday, and after our last shoot I was itching to work with him again. After a thorough and intricate planning process, Andy and I developed an amalgamation of creative ideas that led to a really interesting and avante-garde theme (which is a personal favourite of mine). Andy's ideas were incredible and certainly allowed us to be as far out as possible. Andy is such a friendly and conversational person, there is never a dull moment whilst shooting with him. Andy is my favourite photographer for a multitude of reasons, not only does he offer an abundance of delicious treats to me and my helper lewis, be he is such a naturally talented photographer who certainly knows what makes a great image. Andy is confident with his photography and has a vast set of skills, and it is this alongside his creativity which makes him a pleasure to work with. Andy guided me with poses and was enthusiastic about the way I was posing which made it so much easier to be more confident and experimental. Andy was patient with me taking a while to do my make up, and was super friendly to my helper Lewis whilst I was doing so. If you want to shoot with someone who is relaxed, but eager to create some impeccable photographs, you can get no better than Andy. His portfolio is enough to see how talented he is, and so far the pictures we have achieved together are amazing.

I fully recommend Andy and cannot wait to work with him again!

I worked with Andy for the first time yesterday and had such a brilliant time!

He was extremely friendly, professional and gave great direction throughout the shoot. He would always be showing me shots on the back of the camera to give me an idea of what the final images are going to look like. I brought along my partner to the shoot and he was also made to feel welcome by Andy, which really added to the positive atmosphere.

Pre-comms were amazing! A lot of planning went into the shoot and Andy was able to source a military jacket and a beautiful sword to include in the final shots.

At the end of the shoot, we sat down and he let me go through the images to pick out my favourites, which I really appreciated.

It was a fantastic shoot and I cannot wait to work with him again :)

Thank you Andy!

PaigeAntonia

second shoot with Andy today and just when you think you will never get images as good as the last...

Andy is so naturally creative, he has some amazing ideas, pays attention to detail and because of his tenacity gets things absolutely spot on. He is a breeze to work with, you cant help but love a shoot with him. We had a plan today but aside from working woth that covered quite a few other genres and to be honest, I'm hard pushed to choose which I loved best. Considerate, thoughtful, respectful and kind, I would recommend Andy to anybody. Thank you!! xxx

I've just come back from shooting with the amazing Andy. Andy's pre-shoot communication skills were second to none and we shared lots of ideas and concepts before hand which made it so easy to collaborate. When I arrived, Andy greeted me with a smile and was so friendly and welcoming. Andy encouraged me to be creative and do my own poses but also gave me direction which is always helpful. It is clear that Andy knows his stuff and is a gifted photographer, the images looked awesome, and I cannot wait to see his final outcomes. He also offered cookies and doughnuts which is always a bonus. Definitely want to work with Andy again and would always recommend him! :)

Eloise :)
