I have had a delightful shoot with Huw recently! Huw and his wife welcomed me into their home after a long drive to the stunning Welsh countryside. They were the perfect hosts! They both made me feel comfortable right from the start and even had a delicious homemade meal ready and waiting on my arrival!

The next day we started shooting and Huw did not disappoint. We started having a stroll around his farm making the most of the natural morning light, then proceeded to his home studio where we shot using his rings and rope hanging from the ceiling. The results were awesome! Later in the afternoon we explored the countryside and shot some outdoor portraits and shapes. I felt at ease all throughout the day and the time seemed to just whiz by!

Huw is a wonderful photographer, but more than that, a wonderful person as a whole. He is a very intelligent individual which sparked many interesting conversations along the way. He is very honest and down to earth and I personally would highly recommend! I look forward to the next one!

Thank you for having me! :D

What a lovely sunny day for a magical forest location shoot in the heart of Wales!

This was our first time working together which seems to flow quite naturally, working between a variety of forest landscapes to capture many images and videos in the beautiful surroundings.

Huw is down to earth, professional and full of interesting conversations. It was a delight to work together and we have already discussed planning our 2nd shoot together!

After a long time in the pipeline (thanks to covid!), Hugh and I finally got to shoot together! We shot at my home for half a day and the time flew by whilst we shot a whole range of sets in art due style. We also experimented with both photographic film and video, which is always both fascinating to learn from and push the comfort zones! I can’t wait to see the outcomes of our work and I hope to work with Hugh again in the near future 😊

What a pleasure shot with Hugh! Can't recommend him enough.

He drove 5 hours to shoot at my place in London, and we got so lucky that we chose that day because it was so bright and sunny.

He took stunning shots from the beginning to the end of the day, we worked for 4 hours mostly in my bedroom and we could go on forever despite the limited space.

He's a really nice and lovely person, very interested in create a good comunication and put feelings in the images.

We create an amazing connection that I don't create that often with a photographer, so I hope to work again together really soon!

Thanks Hugh :)

I’ve lost count of the amount of times that I’ve worked with Huw over the last few years. That makes me pretty lucky :)

Working with Huw is always a wonderful adventure. This time we took a woodland tour and then went to his delightful farm where I mostly ate biscuits and played with the animals.

We also took a few pictures. Of course Huw takes great pictures, but he also always captures those magical spontaneous moments which I love!

Thank you for another amazing shoot. :)

Was delighted to finally have the opportunity to shoot with Hugh, after having been trying to sort something for a while. He took the massive feat of driving all the way to the Lakes to shoot with me!

He was very easy to get along with and work with. I was completely comfortable and at ease the whole time, and we were continually bouncing ideas between each other, creating some awesome images.

He's very talented and has a great eye for what shots to try out and poses to try. I'm so happy with the images that have come from our wonderful shoot so far, and definitely hope to shoot together again in the future!

Thank you again :)

So so please I got the chance to work with Huw again, and I now remember why I enjoyed it so much the first time. His home and family are so gorgeous and welcoming, he is full of so much creativity as well as letting me have some input.

The shots we achieved are so lovely and I think we are both proud of them.

I plan and hope to be back many more times in the future.

I would happily recommend Huw to all models :)

Huw and I worked together for the first time this weekend and I sincerely hope we can shoot together again. :) I thoroughly enjoyed being in his company: He has a witty sense of humour and quirky/candid shooting style -- which resulted in lots of unique and even hilarious and downright daft images! :P This kind of approach really challenges models to be as present as possible, to engage with the environment they're in, and not just simply go through the motions which makes the shoot experience very special. Huw is fun and refreshing to work with, as well as a caring and hospitable person. I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again and recommend him highly. Thank you Huw! :)

I had the pleasure of working with Huw for the weekend in wales. The weather was quite poor but that didn’t stop us from getting amazing shots! Huw was very clear with his directions when needed and we just bounced ideas off of each other. I think we made a great team. The photos were amazing and I even got to watch him edit a few whilst I was there. When the weather is bad you can shoot in his lovely warm studio. Him and his wife made me feel very welcome and did all his dogs! Huw was very accommodating and made sure I was always well fed and had plenty to drink.

I highly recommend Huw to any model new or highly experienced.

Thanks again for having me it was a pleasure and I hope to return soon.

Fay.

I'm so happy to be able to say that I've had the pleasure of working with Huw and I recommend him to anyone! I can hand-on-heart say that our shoot was by far my favourite shoot that I've every had the privilege of being part of. :)

Working with Huw was an absolute joy throughout, from our very first exchange on PP, to our goodbyes at the train station, Huw was professional, polite and a bloody good photographer to say the least!

Running up to the shoot Huw was organised, prompt to respond and an all-round great communicator which made me feel safe and assured. We collaborated on ideas and styles, creating some truly stunning sets that I think we were both absolutely delighted with.

As I had a 5 hour journey from Nottingham, Huw kindly put me up for the night in his lovely home. Huw made me feel so welcome, so at home and just so happy surrounded by his gorgeous animals, his lovely daughter and the delicious food they cooked for me.

I cannot wait to see the images from our shoot and I sincerely hope that we have the chance to work together again.

Thank you!

Had such a nice time shooting with Huw. Him and his family are all so lovely!

Huw is an amazing photographer and I'm looking forward to more shoots.

After my first shoot with Huw I can say he is an absolute pleasure to work with, full of ideas, we achieved some really beautiful results. We didn’t get through everything we wanted to but that just gives us an excuse to shoot again!

His family (including his variety of animals) are lovely and I was made to feel more than welcome.

I can’t wait to see more of the images and to shoot again.

Do not hesitate to work with him- highly recommend :)

It was so nice working with Huw, he made sure i was warm, fed and as a whole just made me feel comfortable. My train got delayed and he was kind enough to drive me home all the way from Carmarthen to Cardiff. I am very happy with the photos we produced and can't wait to see all of them! I definitely recommend him :)

This was my third shoot with Hugh.. We went adventuring for a day in his Land Rover exploring the forests and wilderness of Wales. Hugh found some beautiful little places to shoot and he can even boil water and make a decent hot cup of coffee in the back of his vehicle.

I've learned that shoots with Hugh are always totally relaxed, full of fun and good conversation and probably most importantly create awesome images.

I'm very glad that I live in Wales and get the opportunity to work with Hugh :)

Another brilliant shoot with Hugh :)

This time at his studio which surprisingly isn't full of rocks. It was a lovely relaxed day shooting some quite natural studio portraits and some nudes which both looked ace, and I got to drink coffee, eat soup, and see all of the animals at Hugh's place. It was awesome! The studio was also nice and warm with two heaters. Yippee!

I really enjoy working with Hugh and I'm looking forward to what we do next :)

I had a fantastic little adventure with Huw in beautiful Wales.

We had a really relaxed shoot in the sunshine and I love the images we created.

Totally recommended and I hope to work with Huw again.

We had a great photoshoot during my last visit in the UK at Stefano's Brunesci home studio place and a little bit outdoors. It was very fun and relaxed shoot, Hugh is a very kind and talented photographer. And amazing pictures at the end!

Hope to work with you again!

Cheers,

I shot with Huw a few years ago! Very easy company and lots of fun to work with - some cracking images too! Would definitely recommend :-)

I had my first shoot with Huw on wednesday, where we did some shots inside and a few on location. I instantly felt comfortable shooting, and we worked great together!

I am so pleased with the images, with one or two being my favourite photos of me that have EVER been taken. I hope I am lucky enough to get the oppourtunity to shoot with him again.

Highly recommended!!

I've had the great pleasure of shooting with Hugh many many times, every time he is always his friendly, happy, fun and daring self!! Hugh is very dependable and reliable, he keeps a model well informed before any of his shoots his plans (be is shooting in the Welsh countryside or in the rugged terrain of Iceland!!). Hugh is very accomodating, when staying with him he and his family all so warm and welcoming and make sure a model is comfortable and happy at all times! In Wales Hugh also has a delightful home studio which he utilises to great affect, Hugh is very skilled and creative with his studio lighting, sessions I've done with him there have always been great fun and very experimental, we always get some lovely results!

Hugh is very creative and always thinking of new ideas, the range of shots we've done is great; from beaches to forests, to on horses to mountains, lakes, you name it! Hugh is so incredibly dedicated to finding his locations and getting to them no matter how hard they are!! He dares to get shots that no one has either thought of trying to get or feels they cannot get, his ambition and success in these pursuits is amazing!! Hugh has a brilliant eye for the shots, we can be driving around in a giant landscape and he can zoom right in on the perfect spot to get the most lovely images. Hugh is a fantastically skilled photographer.

Hugh is incredibly intellectual as well as fun, I love the interesting and varied discussions I can have with him, there aren't lots of people a person can spend a week with but for me Hugh is one of them, the fun never ends and he is throughout the whole time a great person to spend time with a be around. I can recommend Hugh greatly as a lovely person as well as a super duper awesome photographer. I absolutely adore the shoots and time with spend together and cannot wait for more adventures in the future!!! :)
