Second shoot with Iain, this time at the House Of Damask. Always a pleasure to work with and very capable photographer. Iain can direct you effectively to reach a great pose as well as wait for the right moment when I get the pose to press the shutter. Highly recommended and look forward to the next opportunity!

Another cracking session with Iain booking onto a duo event organised by myself and the beautiful D Genevieve at a lovely studio apartment in central Glasgow. Our shoot was very productive and we ended up with alot of really excellent images. ✌️

Iain captured a wide variety of styles as we enjoyed a wonderful and fun duo shoot bouncing ideas from one another and really making good use of the space and time we had.

Iain is punctual, organised, cheery, enthusiastic and as always very pleasant and professional. 👍

Such a lovely, friendly person and a wonderful photographer with a passion to capture amazing images.

I highly recommend Iain to all and very much look forward to next time. 😁

Bring on shoot 11.

My ninth session with Iain booking onto another duo event organised by myself and the amazing Irongem at a fabulous, spacious apartment in Glasgow we had booked together offering some festive styles and more. With a mixture from clothed, boudoir and some beautiful artistic nudes our shoot was excellent and Iain captured a good variety with some really excellent shots taken. 😊

As we have shot together many times now we can really bounce ideas from one another very easily and I always feel at complete ease shooting with Iain. No matter if it's a solo, duo or multiple model shoot Iain is gaining more and more confidence with each shoot and I can really see his progress which is wonderful to see. I always enjoy our shoots and we have great discussions and banter laughing alot but also concentrating on getting a good variety of quality images.

Iain was cheery, chatty and he is always friendly and a very welcoming and thoughtful person. ✌️

Highly recommended to all, always looking to learn, have a fabulous shoot and produce something abstract, eye catching and beautiful.

Thank you Iain and until next time.

Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. 😁

Iain and I were going to do our fourth shoot together outdoors in Glasgow but obviously the weather had a different idea! Instead we worked out of Studio R3 for the second time together, yet I think this was our best shoot yet (which is saying something to compete with art nudes in Glencoe!). The tones and captures on the back of the cam just looked incredible.

Iain is always a pleasure to work with; he's so lovely and professional. The understanding we have developed of each other really helps us to create our best work.

I look forward to seeing the final edits :)

My eighth shoot with Iain, booking onto a duo event organised by myself and the beautiful Irongem at a fabulous apartment in Glasgow we had booked together.

Always a joy to work with Iain and create even more fabulous imagery on our duo, arriving promptly, well prepared and full of energy we did a range of styles and our shoot absolutely flew by.

Iain is very pleasant to spend your time with, we chatted as we went along having a really fun shoot with some ace output.

Super friendly, respectful and professional it was again a delightful and a productive shoot and I really look forward to next time. 😄

Highly recommended to all.

Thanks again Iain for attending and being such a star.

I had the pleasure of a second shoot with me.Iain and I very much look forward to many more as I venture to Scotland :) a very professional man, ever so polite and accommodating- talented and a real pleasure to chat with, work with and create!

Iain was kind enough to drive me to Glencoe with him and back for our trio event and it really was a super journey, a slight rush on our way back due to all the train changes/delays but this man did everything in. His power to get me there on time and did!

I can’t wait to shoot again, lots of talks of lots of plans for us :D

Iain is such a lovely gentle soul and I'm thrilled to have had our third shoot together. Back on our first shoot at Studio 244, Iain suggested a shooting trip out into Glencoe. I loved the idea so went away and pulled a group of talented photographers together to work with myself, Georgia Brown and Tink.

It was a really special day with memorable moments (more than just work, for all involved). Very grateful to Iain for suggesting it and I look forward to seeing what he captured from the day.

We're currently planning our 4th shoot in 5 months so I think that says enough. One of my faves.

Thanks

Iain and I shot together for the second time, but July's shoot was based out of my fave Studio R3 in Glasgow.

We covered our usual range of styles from fashion/lingerie to art nude. Iain is very intuitive and has already picked up on reading my personality as a model (in terms of when I'm happy with an image or not haha), which means he already knows when subtle adjustments need to be made etc. I trust a rare group of photographers to nail the shot of me every time, and Iain is one of those!

Always a good time when creating with him and I very much am looking forward to our Glencoe trip next month!

I had a wonderful shoot with Ian today.

We shot art nude on location in beautiful Scotland.

The weather was on our side and we managed 6 locations in 2 hours!

Ian is great, easy to talk to, allowed me to flow pose and add my ideas and we had fun fibbing unique locations to shoot.

Highly reccomended and would love to work with him again.

Lila

Had the pleasure of working with this kind gent on my Studio Day at Studio 244.

Iain was relaxed and friendly yet professional. His keen eye for lighting and angles to shoot from meant I could flow through poses without worry. We shot a number of different sets during our time together, including: tasteful implied nudes, natural light bodyscapes, cutesie American diner lingerie skates, biker girl and outdoor portraits.

Iain was great company and I loved the images he captured of me. We're even hoping to shoot together again on an outdoor Glencoe shoot!

Looking forward to the next time,

Lila

Always a pleasure, I enjoyed my seventh session with Iain this time at our weekend duo event he attended with myself and the lovely Irongem in a beautifully styled apartment space we had booked together in Glasgow.

We had a really fun shoot with lots of laughter and beautiful images captured. Iain is a joy to work alongside and always learning more with each shoot he does. He is keen to hear your suggestions and between the three of us we put our ideas together resulting in lots of awesomeness.

Arriving promptly and full of enthusiasm, really eager to make good use of the space and the time and we certainly did that.

A couple of our ideas required a little time to set up and Iain was patient and helpful. Always respectful, polite and professional, such a friendly and wonderful person to spend your time creating with and we always have a productive shoot with the time completely flying by.

I highly recommend Iain to all.

You will have a fantastic shoot with wonderful results and be in very nice company.

Thank you for a lovely and creative duo session Iain.

Can't wait for our next shoot together.

I had a full day booked at 244 creative and was very happy to have had to pleasure of working there with Iain there, talented man who is super fun and easy to work with a pleasure of a shoot :D we worked through a wide range of poses and made great use of the sets available, I would highly recommended and do hope we have the pleasure of crossing paths again, thank you

Iain booked me for my studio day at studior3 in glasgow, from the moment i met iain his enthusiasm for his photography was very clear! Communication on the shoot was great and was able to give direction very easily when needed for the shots he wanted. Iain showed me the back of the camera frequently which i appriciated and our time honwestly flew by. I felt comfortable and at ease at all times with iain and would be more than happy to work with him again on my return to glasgow in the autumn, and recommend him to any model, Thanks so much iain!

Another excellent shoot with Iain at the newly opened 244 Creative Studio in Cowdenbeath doing a mixture of styles throughout the wonderful sets available in the studio.

Arriving with lots of enthusiasm and really excited to get lots of different images and that we certainly did, showing me the images on the back of the camera, I was very pleased with the results. We had such a fun shoot and really made good use of the different areas available.

Respectful, a lovely person, confident with giving direction and loves creating fabulous images. 😄

Our sixth shoot and I am really looking forward to our next shoot together.

Highly recommended. When working alongside Iain you will always have a great shoot with a relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to see the finished results.

Thanks again Iain,

I've lost count of how many shoots Iain and I have now completed, and although they've all been remote shoots (we have our first in person this June!) each and every single shoot has been a joy - I really feel like Iain and I have developed such a good working relationship by now that we just instantly know what the other wants/is going to say next.

Iain clearly knows what he's doing behind the camera (laptop?) by now, and he's always perfectly happy to adjust his settings as well as take on my suggestions. His pre shoot communications were excellent, well prepared in advance and he was very accommodating with a last minute model change for the duo shoot we were doing!

I'd highly recommend working with Iain, and really look forward to being able to do so in person soon!

Thankyou for an amazing shoot!

Oh.Gosh.You.Found.Me

What a lovely photographer! Great communications through out the remote duo shoot between Angel Black Uk and I. Iain was happy for us to freestyle as well as give suggestions.

I honestly recommend this Photographer to everyone. He made the shoot fun, relaxing and comfortable.

Third shoot with Iain and as always he was an absolute gentleman, very professional and lots of fun! This time it was a duo shoot with IronGem (my first duo!!) and it was definitely a success. Back of camera images looked great and as I’ve said before, I would definitely recommend and looking forward to our next shoot ♥

Iain and I once again had another remote shoot, back at Two Wei Location House again and just like the other shoots we've done, it was a joy. He is so polite and professional, with such a kind soul, always checking the model is alright, encouraging regular water breaks and putting my health and well being above everything. His pre shoot communications are fabulous, always making sure I know exactly what to bring with me ahead of the shoot day.

Iain isn't afraid to mess with the camera settings, yet also happy to listen to J Black's suggestions throughout. I genuinely love working with Iain, he's so easy going and relaxed, yet you still get the work done.

I couldn't recommend him enough, thankyou for an amazing shoot and I'll see you next month!

I can't believe this was the last time I shot with Iain! That definitely needs rectifying soon as we have always had such brill times working together both remotely and in-person... This time was no different; in fact it was festively creative and magic with some very innovative ideas for Christmas (more effort than I have probably made in past years for seasonal things, but I know Iain is game for mad ideas!) I remember the session well, because the same funky makeup I did for the final set I ended up leaving on with no time to spare and marching down to the hospital straight after with some awful/emergency news about a family member (one of the reasons why my reference is so late!) A few months down the line and with things in a much better place - I can now laugh about this because I literally had candy canes drawn clearly on my face! There aren't many photographers willing to tackle such unique ideas - especially that take a bit more time with styling (this probably feels like a drag more so on a remote shoot in particular!) but Iain is really a joy to work with in that sense because he is delighted for the models to express ideas and throw their own input into the shoots. As a result; we got some truly lovely pictures... And I look forward to posting them for Christmases' to come! 😃

With remote shooting; the model is doing the work in moving the set/lights and arranging everything physically. Iain always shows great patience, but also has a good eye now for spotting things and coming up with angles/shots that he sees in sprouting opportunities during a shoot. He also gives really nice on-shoot feedback so if something is particularly working well - he'll say so and you can work it some more and make certain you smash whatever it was that was an eye catcher at the time. This sort of connection and communication is priceless for working well together and generating good bounce between you. 👌 As I prepared the shots to send over in WeTransfer after the shoot, it did give me a reignited buzz to see how fruitful our shoot actually was.

Iain is great in the run-up to a shoot as well - I mean in terms of communications and so forth, he really likes to build up a rapport with models early on and tries to make sure he covers all ground from outfits to sets. He is conscious to not leave a stone unturned and wants to put the foundations there to ensure a shoot is as successful as it can be. Full credit to him for thinking and showing concern for these things - you have to have a relative plan, even if you do improvise a little as well (which we have also done sometimes!) He's otherwise very laid back and happy to go with the flow, I think he does have faith in what models can suggest when it's their location as well... Because he might be going into a shoot not knowing exactly what's there (you can send lists/descriptions of your resources, but unless you've been there and walked around a place/set you probably are going in a little bit blind) he subsequently appreciates when models input suggestions and possibilities in the pre-shoot communications. It shows enthusiasm and willingness to get the best out of the shoot I think. 😊 You have to have interest and drive in this game after all, it doesn't work otherwise... Or doesn't work as well when your hearts not in it. Iain loves his shoots though - never a dull session working with him, we have even had several FPI's from our remote shoots which is pretty nice a touch (even though we're shooting for the moment/for our own creativity rather than anything else) pretty cool when the mad ideas get appreciated elsewhere.🤩

The same decent and respectful gentleman that he has always been... Yes - I can confirm this once again. 🌟 I honestly couldn't tell you how many shoots we have had now - I have lost count! But I know that on each one, whether we are in the room together virtually (as we were this most recent time) or in-person, that Iain is pleasant, courteous and expels a very nice character. I always feel at ease working with him and feel that he treats models in a good way to ensure they feel comfortable and happy throughout the course of a shoot. On top of that - we have a laugh and talk ALOT! Gosh we could win some awards for just how much we do natter. 🤣

So there we go - another highly successful shoot! I doubt it's going to be too long before our next... LONG OVERDUE! I know that much. 🙈

Thank you so much Iain - you're a star!

I love working with Iain, he is a true gentleman and makes the shoot run smoothly. This was yet another remote shoot, this time with a Christmas theme and we discussed the sets in detail, deciding on outfits ahead of the shoot day. His pre shoot communications are always well managed and he provides all of the necessary information from the get go.

During the shoot itself, he's always more than happy to listen to my ideas and experiment with them, which we did with some (very fast changing) multi coloured fairy lights! He's always polite and professional and very courteous throughout the shoot, he was also understanding that I was just beginning to get sick and even offered to rearrange! He's such a lovely gentleman and I've truly loved our shoots - I'm looking forward to working with him again next month!

Thankyou for a fabulous shoot!
