I had the pleasure of being booked by Ian for his model splash event at his studio.

What a brilliant and fun event this was. It was well attended and all the photographers were great to shoot with.

Thank you to Ian for running the event and for being a great host and photographer.

Highly recommended.

I had my second shoot with Ian tonight, modelling for a group workshop, covering types of single lighting for art nude.

Again, I had a great evening, and I would certainly recommend Ian to anyone looking for useful training/advice and creating some great images. Thanks again Ian!

I attended Ian’s workshop at his studio covering a range of single lighting for art nude.

Ian was very professional and helpful, and gave me great insight and advice , the workshop was incredibly helpful especially for me as this was my first shoot. I'd be happy to attend his workshops again.

Had my second shoot with Ian last week.

It was a complete blast!

We shot video and stills and made a lot of mess with foods and colors :)

Ian's amazing abilities as a filmmaker and photographer really showed. He came up with some funny concepts too. My favourite was a slapstick take on a messy builder. Loved it! :)

Highly recommended and can't wait till our next shoot which is already confirmed :)

I worked the first time with Ian after being booked by him for a group shoot for a pin up/vintage themed shoot. The shoot was a lot of fun and Ian's organization was fabulous. His studio was well equiped and he had lots of props to use as well. It was very interesting to hear him explain about various light set ups to the photographers and it was a very relaxed and fun environment all around with a great bunch of people. Ian's very professional and friendly too. Already discussing our next shoot. Very highly recommended!

Thanks Ian! :)

I had my first shoot at Ian's studio last night, taking part in a group workshop.

I had a great night, covering themes I'd never tried before, e.g. silhouettes and bodyscapes. Ian was extremely polite, friendly, professional and overall, great to work with; I would certainly recommend him to others!

I was booked by Ian to do some fashion latex sets and my first WAM shoot. Ian was very organised and on my arrival he had set up all the food for the messy shoot. Great direction was given throughout the latex shoot, this was much appreciated as I haven't shot much latex as fashion.

I had so much fun on the messy shoot, sorry for wearing you out Ian! Would definately work with Ian again. Would 100% recommend!

I really enjoyed modelling at Ian’s studio again for a group photography session. Ian is very friendly and hospitable. His tuition style is extremely interesting and the photographers appear to get a lot out of the session. I felt at ease and would definitely recommend working with him

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian the other day as I was booked by a photographer who was having one-to-one tuition with Ian at his studio.

Ian was a great guy. He was professional, organised and a good teacher. I enjoyed working with him and hope to work with him again.

Definitely recommended by me.

Ian was very precise in the way that he worked. He was very organised and you know exactly what to expect. His Direction was clear and he had a good eye for creativity. I would work with him again and recommend to anybody.

Last nights shoot at Ians group shoot event was as per usual, a fun filled 3 hours. Ian always comes up with some good and challenging ideas set out for the photographers. Last night was about having a limited time per person to shoot enabling them to think quickly on the spot as to what they wanted from their next set and achieve the images they were aiming for. This was to prove that a good range of various sets, lighting and styles could be shot within 3 hours If planned ahead. It was a very productive evening, and we successfully achieved different styles, light set up and styles.

Ian is a fantastic instructor being able to instruct clearly and quickly, and I feel everyone left the studio satisfied with what they had learned.

Thanks Ian for having me come down and model, and I look forward to coming back again soon

Thanks

I worked for the 2nd time again with ian this week at his studio on anouther messy shoot. I had such a laugh, the scripts were well written and funny to act out I realy enjoyed this and lots of yummy food stuff to play with. Ian works hard at getting these shoots organised as it involves alot of prep work and cleanup. Communications are very good prior to the shoot I know exactly what's required from me, im more than happy to reccomend ian he looks after his models and is a lovely chap to work with.

Thanks raven
