Had another great shoot at Beacon Camera Club organised by Ian. This was my second time visiting and as always, I had a lovely time. Everyone was polite and the shoot flew by. Thank you again and hope to be back soon!

Had our first shoot and it was fantastic

The day was planned and well organised. We had an MUA join us for the part of the shoot to add a bit more drama to the cosplay which Ian arranged. The studio was perfect and I was provided with tea, chocolate and free parking.

Ian is very creative ! Has a great sense of humour and the day went so quickly !

The images we achieved were fantastic I am really pleased with them.

I am looking forward to more shoots with Ian and I would highly recommend

Thank you

I finally got to shoot with the wonderful Ian. And what can I say except he was such a lovely,funny, warm, chatty and caring gentleman from start to finish.

Pre comms were spot on, Ian knew exactly what he wanted and we discussed all outfits and looks before the day which made the shoot run so smoothly that we even got to add little extra looks on top. Ian has a very creative mind and is very good at his craft, it was just a shame the shoot seemed to go so quick!

Absolutely 1000% would highly recommend working with Ian and I very much hope to again in the near future.

Thank you for a very enjoyable shoot

I shot with Ian today at libre studios in Liverpool

He collected me from the station and we arrived at the studio together

He was really kind and courteous, the day flew by super quickly which is a great sign of working well with someone. I think we got some great shots

I felt safe at all times in his presence. When you have worked in the industry so long you can get a feel for the way someone’s creative mind works

His passion is portrait photography and he is very good at it. This photographer can only be described as the opposite of a level pusher

A good man with a good heart

I hope to work with Ian again when I return up north

Would 💯 % recommend

Wow! What an amazing shoot I had today with Keep it Classy. And he really does keep it classy! Full of fab ideas, great with direction and really is a pro at what he does. Communication was clear from start right up to the shoot. Such a pleasure and joy to work with too. We ended up with some fantastic images!

I would recommend this photographer 10000%.

Thank you!

Where do I start!? From the moment I walked into libre studio Ian was so welcoming and friendly, he’s so easy to get along with making working together a dream! Ian really is such a kind, warm and respectful gentleman. The shoot seemed to fly by and Ian got some awesome shots which isn’t surprising considering how good he is at his craft. A genuinely awesome shoot with a genuinely lovely person. I left on a high! I of course highly recommend Ian and really hope to get the opportunity to work together in the future.

I worked with Ian for the first time yesterday at libre studios in Liverpool and what an absolute pleasure it was. Ian was really professional, friendly & welcoming from the moment I arrived I was made to feel at ease.

His communication before the shoot was brilliant, and had some amazing ideas.. but also open to using mine too & followed up on giving both our visions 110% to achieve what we wanted. Ian is really helpful with posing and I was really grateful for his direction as I am new to modelling. He gave me so much confidence throughout the shoot. Also bringing along another model who was really knowledgeable.

A brilliant day with a brilliant team and I honestly am so excited to see what we achieve in our future shoots!!

Thank you so much for having me Ian.

Had a great shoot with a photography club booked by Ian. Communications were prompt and clear and he was there to welcome me on the night where we got straight into shooting. The club members were all friendly and Ian demonstrated great instructional guidance and direction to the members. It was a pleasure to model for them. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures and would happily recommend.

I shot for the first time with Ian last week and it was a delightful experience! We got along really, we were on the same page with the kinds of images we were working towards, he respected my opinions regarding the shapes and lines I was looking for him to catch (it isn’t easy!) and together I think we created some pretty banging images!

Would happily work with him again when my availability opens back up 🧡

This was my third time shooting with Ian and this time we were at Libre Studios for a 1-2-1 session. We managed to get through 4 very different outfits with various backdrops and lighting changes. Ian pre shoot comms are spot on and I know what he is wanting to get out of the shoot. On the day he had arranged parking for me and never made me feel rushed. The shoot flew by and the conservation flowed too. He is a very easy person to work with and I would highly recommend him and his camera club to anyone :)

I shot with Ian for the second time at a camera club shoot that he had arranged. Pre shoot comms as always were very clear and I knew exactly what he was after! Really happy with how the evening ran and everyone was so welcoming. Thank you again Ian for looking after me during the shoot :)

Shot with Ian yesterday for the first time, at Libre Studio Liverpool.

Ian was very understanding and helped me rearrange the shoot because of the rail strikes were announced on the day we originally agreed. Even though we never worked together, the pre-comms were efficient and easy.

On the day, Ian gave me a lift from outside the station and dropped me back off once we finished. I felt well looked after during the shoot too and not rushed to change in-between the sets when I was changing my makeup looks.

The images I've seen on the back of the camera were lush, I was given the permission to take a photos of a few and share them on my Instagram story.

Ian also was welcoming feedback on how I think he could improve his editing, and I absolutely loved the fact that he listened to what I had to say in order to improve the images.

Overall, a great first experience of working together.

Thank you very much for our shoot yesterday!

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Ian today! I always knew by his amazing portfolio that we would get some great shots but we absolutely nailed it from what I seen on the camera. His lighting skills are fabulous, he can direct when needed and most of all, makes sure you’re happy and comfortable throughout the shoot! I cannot wait to shoot again & see what more we can achieve! Thank you so much! Xx

Long overdue reference!

I had the pleasure of working with Ian a few weeks ago and a pleasure it was!

Ian’s pre comms were wonderful. He sent across ideas and also inspiration but was also willing to listen to ideas of mine too and how we could get the best out of each other.

We had a make up artist, Emma, at the ready to bring the ideas to light. Ian was very patient with us and also patient whilst shooting. He’s not afraid to give direction as and when needed but also allowed me to flow. Ian as an absolute diamond to work with and I really hope it’s not the last time we shoot. The shots we got are incredible, Ian is very good at capturing raw emotion.

I would highly recommend Ian, you won’t be disappointed.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ian today and what a gentleman he was. I was the makeup artist for model Jasmine and then I had a Photoshoot with Ian myself. He’s really easy to get a long with, very professional and gives good guidance when needed. I highly recommend working with him, he has great visions and knows exactly what he’s doing. Thanks for a great shoot Ian x

Gwendoline Ginoux

It's always great working with Ian and I'm always looking forward. He organised a shoot at the photo club and even if he wasn't taking pictures that day, he always made sure I was comfortable and had everything needed.

We are coming up with some great and creative ideas for next shoots and I already can't wait to be there!

It's always a pleasure to meet Ian and it feels like meeting a friend and catching up.

Thank you again! I strongly recommend Ian. I can trust him with my eyes closed.

Gwendoline Ginoux

My 3rd shoot with Ian but this time in the photography club for the first time. It was a great shoot and the time always goes very fast!

All photographers were extremely nice and respectful with me. It was actually difficult to not laugh during the pictures as everybody was having such a great time, it was an amazing energy.

Ian picked me up and dropped me off to the train station as the location was quite remote. He made sure I was safe by waiting with me as it was an evening shoot.

Thank you again and I'm looking forward for the next session :)

Keda Wright

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ian in our first shoot together yesterday!

Very professional, kind and always made sure I was okay or needed anything. We created lots of different shots which resulted in a really great shoot!

Highly recommend Ian and look forward to working with him in the future 😊 x

Gwendoline Ginoux

It was my second time shooting with Ian and I always have a great time creating amazing pictures together. Ian always makes sure his models have everything we need. He comes with lots of great ideas and listen to the ideas we can bring to the shoot as well.

The afternoon went super fast, I couldn't believe the shoot was already over!

I highly recommend ❤️
