Had my first shoot with Henry.

He is really friendly and professional.

The whole shoot was really enjoyable and relaxed.

I am happy with the result. We got some amazing high quality photos

Thank you for the opportunity to work.

Hope to work with you again soon.

Would totally recommend this amazing photographer to work with!

I had a four hour shoot with Henryk last week during a very mini tour!

We shot at his old workplace- using a studio set up with backdrops and studio lighting.

The focus was dance, now, I am no dancer, but we actually produced a lot of lovely images in the time (my feet certainly felt it after four hours!!) haha.

Henryk explained his ideas clearly, had inspiration images and was very encouraging! Haha.

Images look super, hope we can shoot again one day! :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Henryk!

We covered mostly dance/ballet style shots.

Henryk came very organised and was completely professional.

He has a real talent for photographing movement​ and instinctively knows what looks right with dance positions.

The shots looked fabulous​.

Thank you for a great day!

Best wishes

I worked with Henry again on my recent trip to the Midlands. This time in a new studio as the place we used to use is no longer available.

The studio we used was very cold which made wearing next to nothing quite unpleasant, but on top of that we were trying to do dance themed work so it was difficult to warm up enough to not risk pulling a muscle (which I inevitably did haha!). Henry was incredibly patient and gave me a lot of warm up breaks to make sure that it was as comfortable as it could possible be given the circumstances, which was much appreciated :)

Henry had lots of inspirational ideas with him, unfortunately majority of them were not within my capability as I am not a trained dancer haha! So was a little out my comfort zone but we soldiered on and got some good images that are completely different to anything I've done before :)

Would happily recommend him to others and hope to work with him again in the future, hopefully in better circumstances haha :D

Henry has a lovely studio in Telford with a great set of backgrounds, lighting and props. We shot portraits and fashion. Henry is laidback, relaxed and great at giving directions and ideas - especially to new models like myself. Great communication before and after shoot.

Henry has been very quick with sending over a range of great photos from the shoot, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest.

Thank you!

Second shoot with Henryk was amazing.

I explained that I wanted to use different coloured backdrops instead of the normal black/grey and he was happy to pull out other colours and set them up. The photos are incredible and his new ring light created some absolutely incredible imagery. I really enjoy working with Henryk and can't wait to shoot again!

I worked with the lovely chappy at his studio recently!

We had a fantastic four hour shoot covering dance, beauty and fashion.

Henryk is very friendly, inquisitive and chatty. He was kind enough to feed me with a beautiful fruit platter and made so much tea - yay!

We shot some superb images and the shoot was collaborative meaning henryk let me have my input and try out a few things I wanted - Thankyou.

He’s sent me some stunning images which I definitely be using.

Highly recommended and I’d love to work with him again at some point.

Had a great first shoot with Henry last night . Our shoot was mainly pin up with a few sets of more edgy fashion and portraiture . Pin up is still quite a new genre to me despite how many shoots ive done ive only ever done pin up once before . However Henry was great , he gave me a book for inspiration and some tips . I got into it very quickly and soon found out that pin up is a lot of fun . Henry is a great guy , provided lovely company and is very respectful . I do hope our paths cross again . Thanks for a lovely evening Jess x

I had a fantastic photoshoot with Henryk at his well-equipped studio full of interesting props! We had so much fun bouncing ideas around and experimenting. His communication is excellent, he's mindful of limits and an all-round lovely person to be around.

I had my second shoot with this lovely gentleman. I visited his fully equipped studio in Telford and what a place! So many interesting props and costumes :) A models dream!

Henryk was a pleasure to work, as he was before. He worked efficiently and we managed to get a lot of various looks and set in, in the time that we had.

Henryk's pre comms are spot on and he is super easy to get along with whilst staying professional.

As I have said before, I will say again :)

Highly recommend!!

thanks for another awesome shoot!

I shot with Henryk a little while back and it was a thoroughly enjoyable shoot.

The weather was against our favour unfortunately but we managed to put our heads together and hatch a plan which allowed us to get some really beautiful shots, both on location and in the studio.

Henryk is highly professional and also a gentleman too. We managed to get a great variety of looks in the short time we had together, however I never felt rushed once and I could have had all the tea in the world should I have wanted it!

Lastly, Henryk has kindly shared the shots from the shoot with me and I have to say I'm delighted, they're really gorgeous images!

Thanks so much Henryk and I hope to work with you again soon!

Well a shoot between myself and Henryk finally came!!! With the added bonus of the fabulous and beautiful Pippa Doll also!!

Firstly Henryk's communications have been spot on from the off!! He made sure I was happy with what was planned for our shoot and was respectful throughout all communications.

Our shoot day came and Henryk was a dream! I had already had a 4 hour shoot that morning and Pippa had had a long journey so in all honesty we were both a little weary - however Henryk was kind enough to take out some time so we could have a cup of coffee and recharge. Which was hugely appreciated!!! it was great to have a proper chat with Henryk before the shoot as he is a lovely person and very interesting to talk to.

We got to Henryk's studio which was fabulous!! Lots of wonderful props! Great array of backdrops. Some fab items of clothing!! Couldn't ask for more!!

During the shoot we did a whole range of genres! Art nude, athletic, creative, dance, etherial, fashion. We got through loads!! Henryk shot each of us solo and also as a duo. What was best about the shoot was that it was a true collaboration! Everyone listened to everyone and we were all contributing ideas!! I felt genuinely respected as a creative which meant a great deal! Henryk listened to any lighting suggesting I may have had, or any pose suggesting either model had. As well as making lots of suggestions of his own (with fabulous demonstrations I might add) which Pippa and I listened to!

Henryk worked quickly and efficiently. He clearly has a huge knowledge of lighting and all that technical stuff - but more importantly a great eye! Our shoot was lots of fun! very relaxed! but also VERY productive!!

The results speak for themselves!! Amazing images which I am proud to be part of! Henryk has already published some edited images from the shoot and they are beautiful!! (If I do say so myself haha)

Henryk is by far one of my favourite photographers to date! he made me feel comfortable immediately, he was respectful, professional. He was also genuinely interesting and fun to be around! I'd happily go down the pub with him! After shoot comms continue to be brilliant and I really hope that there will be another shoot on the cards!

Thank you so much for a great shoot Henryk!! Highly recommended!!

Pippa.

Henry shot me and Nicole Rayner at his studio in tamworth. He very kindly offered us coffee and cake and bought along an amazing selection of fruit!

We did a series of athletic nude, ethereal & fashion, Henry is full of energy and as athletic as us!

Had a great day and the images look fab :)

Thank you!

I had my first and hopefully not the last shoot with awesome photographer on Tuesday. Henry has a wonderful eye for composition and from what I have seen so far the pictures look wonderful. We shot for just over half a day and managed to squeeze in lots of locations as well as scout out a few new ones. The time just flew by.

Henry is polite, professional and a joy to work with!

Highly recommended!

Thanks for a lovely day :) x

I had my first shoot with Henryk last month and he was so welcoming (tea and biccys on arrival!), very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgable.

I would recommend Henryk to any aspiring models as he gives direction well and knows how to make the most out of a person!

Thank you Henryk, hope to work with you again in the future!

4 YEARS....had passed since our first shoot! WOW.

I was super excited to shoot with Henry again remembering how good our first shoot was and the images we produced together then.

When Henry mentioned gymnastic hoops to me I was like 'hell yeah!' and I could not wait to try them out.

We had such a fantastic shoot and the time just flew by without realising.

Henry is a lovely person, makes you feel comfortable in his presence, he is relaxed and allows you tea breaks and ensures you are warm during the shoot. I cannot recommend him high enough!

And he even came to the gym with me afterwards and joined in on my workout! BOOM!

We had such a blast and can only hope to do it again sometime :)

Thanks Henry, Love the images!

I had my first shoot with Henryk and I'm glad that I got to work with him : ) pre shoot comms were good and he explained what styles we would be shooting throughout the day. Henryk is polite, professional and friendly throughout the shoot. He's very interesting to talk to and our shoot flew by. Happy to reccomend him and work together again.

Thanks and best wishes,
