Well where do I start?

I felt highly honoured when Huw reached out to arrange a shoot with me, his Portfolio is fantastic and his work with well known faces I couldn’t believe he wanted to include myself to his array of wonderful images/calibrations!

Right from the off we knew exactly what we wanted from the shoot, the pre communications were great and Huw has a fantastic collection of clothing/lingerie which we used alongside my own collection.

The day just flew by, I always find that this happens when working with a great photographer! He made me feel at ease and provided Drinks and snacks ( the best Brownies!) 😊

We have created some wonderful images and I cannot wait to see what we can create in the future ! We are already arranging another shoot! As we have so many ideas!

Thank you so much Huw!

See you soon

I had my first shoot with Huw yesterday.

Working with passionate and enthusiastic people is what I enjoy most about modelling, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot with!

He is down to earth, easy to get along with and an all round professional photographer and a wonderful gentleman too! He has a great eye for composition and details, and he isn't afraid to direct and correct poses as and when needed for a better shot, which I truly appreciate. Additionally, he most definitely is not afraid to try new things and step out of his comfort zone.

The pre-comms before shooting were great, about themes and ideas. We shot a range of styles in different locations including outdoors in an old church ruins for a moody theme and artistic nude and the time flew by and I could have shot all day with him :)

The images I have seen at the back of the camera have turned out absolutely amazing.. I cannot wait to see the end result! I would highly recommend working with Huw if you have not already! :)

Thanks for an amazing shoot.

Recently had the pleasure of shooting with Huw. The whole experience was brilliant. Huw has the perfect balance of humour, professionalism, and fun. The shoot was four hours long and it flew. We shot in a number of outdoor locations, that Huw knew well, and got creative along the way. His passion for photography is evident immediately and so his skill level. He has great ideas, a great eye for the backdrop and therefore the images have turned out beautifully.

Huw is reliable, organises everything perfectly and is motivated to achieve the best out of the shoot, not only for himself, but for the model also.

I am looking forward to our next planned shoot and hopefully many more.

Great to meet Huw on his first shoot here with the awesome AJ the model.

I found Huw to be instantly warm and friendly to converse with and after a quick tour allowed him to begin his shoot. Afterwards AJ seemed like she really enjoyed shooting with Huw. Studio spaces and facilities on offer were treated respectfully and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they managed to capture here.

Would be great to see Huw return and I'm happy to fully recommend to all! Thank you - Lee :-)

Huw and I had been planning on working together for months now and he was brilliant enough to drive down to my studio day which was more than a quick drive away for him!

He came prepared with a bag of bits and provided some great conversation whilst working together. Huw’s a talented photographer who knows his way around a camera and has an expert eye when it comes to lighting. All of this aside from his brilliant ideas and willingness to get stuck into creative, crazy and refreshingly unique takes on grief and tested ideas makes him a photographer I would happily work with again and 100% recommend

Well after a very long time of chats on Instagram and getting our diaries together, I finally got to work with Huw!

Thankfully we managed to dodge the rain and shot a range of fashion/topless images in a quiet part of Lincolnshire.

I could of chatted all day, we ended up finding out that it's a very small world with some crazy connections. Huw is respectful, no level pushing and let me pose freely. I really had an amazing shoot.

Thank you so much again Huw, and I really look forward to seeing the images and working on something new with you very soon.

Kind regards

I had another amazing shoot with Huw last month, arranged last minute as he was in my area, aww and what a delight it was not only to see him again and have a long over-due catch up, but also to create wonderful photos again - mostly magic on the beach in the most glorious light - we were blessed with the weather and good tides!

Working with Huw has always been effortless and nothing less than a complete joy - we chat about everything, giggle like idiots, (I'm sure he'd say speak for yourself, ha!) we're mega productive; mostly because he's a superb photographer, (delivers beautiful imagery time and time again) and super efficient. He's wonderful at directing and is always so happy for me to suggest styling.

Highly recommended.. it's always a pleasure!

What a day this was!! One I won’t be forgetting in a hurry!! A lovely day of shooting with Huw!! Start to finish was an absolute pleasure!!

Huw had very kindly sourced gold body paint and makeup prior to this shoot and my god it worked well!! He had even gone to the trouble of building a box for me to pose on, which should indicate how serious he takes his shoots and how much effort he makes for each individual shoot!!

A thoroughly good human, kind, caring, funny and a true talent I could work with over and over again!!

Thank you again Huw! Loved every minute of it!!

Huw came back to Basford to shoot with the wonderful Nicola Adele, and, to also do some duo photography with Nicola and Miss C the studio owner.

Pre communication with Huw was fantastic and thorough. Huw is so easy to talk to and a real pleasure to have around. He is completely respectful of his model and looked after our location from start to finish.

Huw as always comes highly recommended from us at Basford Hurst Cottage and I really hope to see him again soon! Thanks Huw!!

Miss_C

Huw came to Basford to shoot with the gorgeous Nicola Adele and asked if I would join in for a couple of hours to do some duo work with Nicola, as well as create some images with our resident corn snake Noodle.

I always love working with Huw!! He brings so much energy and ideas to a shoot and he is a fabulous photographer!!

The back of the camera looked amazing and I received all the images within 24 hours of the shoot!! Just trying to pick some edits but there are sooo many good ones!! What is a girl to do!! Haha!

Thanks so much Huw!! Highly recommended!! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!!

The Apex Studio (Telford)

HUW came to Apex Studio to work with KatyB on her Model day.

He arrived on time & was fun to have at the studio. HUW has a great sense of humor & was easy to chat to.

He had lots of ideas for his shoot with Katy & the time just flew by.

He was respectful whilst working with his model & looked after any equipment he used at the studio.

HUW is welcome back & we look forward to seeing him again in the future

Recommended.

Yay!!!

Huw came to Apex studio for my studio day and boyyy am I glad he did! :D

Weve been wanting to find a time to work together for a while now and my studio day was a good chance to have a couple hours shooting and see if our styles worked together and we got along etc.

He arrived on time and his pre communications were spot on, as soon as he entered the studio the energy levels went up! He's a real character and has a killer sense of humour, which always helps me relax on a shoot.. i love a good chuckle! He was super easy to talk to and we had a chat about what typa things wed be shooting over the next 2 hours.

He arrived with a bag of clothes for me to wear for the shoot, and they were right up my street! He had some idea of what wed be going for, and even brought along a can of mist for some atmosphere (which is an idea im stealing! mwuhaha).

We started with natural light and some simple sorta poses to start with, and he was always happy to show me back of camera shots which is a huge help for me to see what hes seeing and adjust myself accordingly. He also gave compliments on my posing style/ability and pointed out what he liked about it, and again, this helps me know how to get the best images with him.. and a compliment goes far as confidence is a must in front of the camera.

I really like his style of work, and the next set we did on a backdrop with studio lights, and i adored the results of that and also the portraits near the end, the lighting was spot on and was creative. Its clear he has a passion for photography, and has learnt his gear and has a style.

I *highly* recommend working with Huw, he makes you feel comfortable, oozes creativity and my cheeks hurt i was laughing so much in those 2 hours! It was a blast.

Thanks so much Huw, i really hope we get to work together again in the near future,

KatyB

I have no words to describe the fabulous person Huw is! Our first photoshoot was really exciting, we went to different spots around Huw area in a field to catch that natural lovely light and we did some photos at his house/studio that I love the results and I always love the high key in photography is one of my favs and with this talented photographer of course it was an absolutely beautiful result!! I never meet someone who is so professional and talented but also such an amazing human being it is very hard to find, he is just 10/10 for me!! I am so happy with the results and already thinking 💭 about a 2nd photoshoot and I know for sure we will rock it! Huw is just one of those person you will want to work many times and be so happy about the images but also about meeting someone who is

a truly gentleman, fun, relax, and everything that is right!! I recommend him 110%!! Thank you for everything Huw!! Loveeee our pics!!!

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Huw came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Miss C, studio owner and model.

Although this was a last minute booking, pre communication with Huw could not have been easier.

Huw arrived on time and was a joy to have around from the start. He brought so many great ideas to Basford and had a great eye for lighting and what worked.

Huw was very respectful of our property and looked after all our equipment throughout.

Huw is welcome back to Basford anytime and I would highly recommend him.

Huw organised a last minute shoot with me at Basford Hurst Cottage this Sunday and I could not have been happier!!! :D

As soon as Huw contacted me I jumped at the chance... You only have to look at the work on his portfolio to see why!!

We originally booked for 2 hours... but... ended up shooting for 4 hours..!! Huw had so many great ideas and is really is a fantastic photographer!! Every set we shot I kept seeing images I adored!!! He knew exactly how to work with the natural light and what poses work and what didn't.

Time absolutely flew by with Huw, we probably chatted and laughed more than we shot!! Huw is always respectful of me and made sure I was comfortable throughout.

I have already seen the images and I cannot WAIT to see the edited versions!!!

We already have another shoot in the diary and I am so excited to see what we shoot next!!

I would highly recommend Huw to other models and look forward to seeing him again soon!! Thanks Huw!!

I absolutely loved my shoot with Huw! I’ve only been modelling for a short while and Huw gave me lots of useful tips and direction regarding posing, showing me on the back of the camera as we went along. We got along really well and just laughed and chatted easily throughout the shoot, the time just flew by!

I would highly recommend having a photo shoot with Huw and can’t wait for our next one!

I had my first photoshoot with Huw yesterday on the outskirts of Lincoln and had a fabulous time. He picked me up from my house and on our journey to where we was shooting had plenty to talk about. He made me feel at ease, like I had known him for a long time. We found in the countryside a large field with yellow flowers blossoming and a church nearby to do a 3 hour photoshoot and managed to create over 1,000 images! He brought some outfits for me to wear if I wanted to which I did as they really fitted the theme/backgrounds and I brought some outfits also. He came up with so many ideas, was knowledgeable and directed me with posing when needed. Huw was organised, thoughtful and kind enough to bring bottles of water for me and some cakes to take home at the end of the shoot. The communication was excellent, plenty to talk about, we understood what we both needed from each other and I requested some edited images which he was happy to sort out for me. I cut them down a lot but Huw was so generous and is looking forward to editing the 24 I have picked out from this shoot. The unedited images have come already, he’s getting onto the edits now so he sends them over quickly which is fab! He was respectful throughout, enthusiastic and we both want to shoot with each other again outdoors sunset hour which I am looking forward to. Will definitely be booking as many shoots as I can with him + I recommend him to new and experienced models! 5*
