I had my first shoot with Ian and what a pleasure it was to work alongside him. He travelled all the way to Somerset in my home town to shoot with me! We planned a beach shoot which I was super excited for as the beach is my favourite place. As soon as I met Ian I felt comfortable and I just knew we were going to get along really well, which indeed we did! We used a variety of different outfits and swimwear and Ian made it very clear about what kind of photos he wanted to capture, which I think we did very well! Near the end of the shoot Ian very kindly treated me to a cup of tea and a slice of chocolate orange cake at my local pub which I enjoyed very much 😋 I would highly recommend shooting with Ian, he’s a very sweet, down to earth, loving person. I would love to work with him again in the near future.

Thank you so much for a lovely day Ian, it was a pleasure working with you! ☺️

I had another great photoshoot with Ian out in nature. He is a very talented and friendly photographer and I always have so much fun working with him.

I also love the photos he took and he is always highly recommended by me.

Today I had my first shoot with Ian who kindly travelled down to Bournemouth for our shoot! We shot in a wide range of different locations in Bournemouth, including along the beach and around the town!

Ian is a super kind and lovely person to shoot with, making sure I was comfortable and happy during the shoot and ensured throughout I was happy with the images!

We got a number of amazing images and I had a lovely time wandering around and chatting with him too! I definitely recommend working with Ian if you get the chance😊

I'm fairly new to modelling and was nervous before arriving to my shoot, however Ian was incredibly easy going and comforting on the shoot. He was kind, friendly, funny and well on time! We had some great conversations and visited a nice cafe in the area, and during shooting Ian was very proffesional and easy to work with. He gave direction well and was a pleasure to be around. I really enjoyed working with him and highly reccomend him to any model!

Ian is a wonderful photographer with a real zest for shooting in general. We did a location shoot and was super enthusiastic about finding good spots to shoot on which makes a shoot so enjoyable. He is great company and his own unique style of capturing the model in the photo just as they are. Definitely recommend!

He is amazing to shoot with and I think we did really great, Ian captured some amazing shots.Looking forward to shoot with Ian again,don't hesitate to shoot with Ian😊

Ian and I have been planning to shoot for just over a year now (thanks a lot Covid) so it was absolutely wonderful to finally be able to arrange something. We met in the lovely town of Winchcombe to shoot some classic natural portraits.

Ian is a great guy, super friendly and easy to talk to. We chatted about all sorts whilst having a nice walk through the Cotswolds and snapping some pics where we saw fit. It was quite a hot day, so I was very grateful for the chance to stop off at a couple of cafes along the way for a drink.

Not only is Ian a fab photographer, as you can see from his portfolio, but he has a great eye for spotting interesting features that work amazingly for photos. As well as being full of his own ideas, he was happy to shoot anything I suggested (I just *had* to shoot some poses by the Land Rover) - the only thing he wouldn't do was let me pose with the cows (lol, sensible)!

I had a really fab time shooting with Ian and am excited to work with him again. He has my highest recommendations! :)

It’s been a revelation to work with Ian, he’s a photographer full of life and positivity-spreading.

I had a transport problem that day, and he traveled for 90 minutes to come in my neighbourhood not to lose the shooting, without any negativity toward the issue that occurs to me.

He’s creative, yet let me express my creativity, he has ideas and preferences but also accept mine with enthusiasm. Eventually he even showed me all the pictures and asked which ones I liked. He also edited them!

I really liked to work with him and hope to shoot with him again soon, 101% recommended!

Today I had an amazing shoot with Ian in London. I was really pleased when Ian invited me to shoot in London, and as I expected the shoot went great. Pre- communication was fantastic and I felt really good shooting and chatting with Ian, he is very cool. There was a lot of laughter, and time just literally flew away from us. Ian is very polite, respectful photographer, and easy-going to come along with. I had many positive emotions during and after the shoot .Ian was showing me the photos from the camera and they are really awesome, can't wait to see edited photos. Looking forward to shoot with Ian again. Highly recommended to shoot with, 100%

Had a great Shoot with Ian. He was very polite and easy to chat to, he made me feel comfortable and at ease for the entire duration of the shoot. From what I've seen we got some great images too.

The shoot with Ian was relaxing, productive and full of conversation.

We had a long shoot that was filled to the brim of walking, discussions and location scouting.

Ian is a friendly, kind person who likes to take the time to get the right shot while making sure the model is comfortable and happy.

I'd highly recommend Ian to work with.

I'm happy with our shots so far. Thank you Ian.

First shoot with Ian, such a friendly and professional photographer! He directed me when needed but he allowed me free range of what I would like to do. Made sure I was comfortable and such a fun person to speak to! Definitely recommend :)

I had my first shoot with Ian yesterday! Communication beforehand was excellent and there was clear direction with regards to outfits makeup etc .. Ian was great on the shoot, easy to get along with and gave me direction well! He’s so good we even finished early as we managed to capture everything he wanted! If you love the natural style shoots definitely recommend Ian.

I had my first shoot with Ian yesterday and he was fantastic! So friendly and so professional he really made me feel confident and comfortable during the shoot.

He was very clear about what style he wanted, which gave the shoot direction. He's a very talented photographer and really understands how to get the best from the model.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ian again in future!

Our first shoot together I had a pleasure to work with Ian shooting portraits on beautiful location Ian was kind enough to travel down to.

I must say Ian has a very specific kind of look and posing he is looking or when it comes to a model choice but I had no issues with understanding it and getting into the right mood straight away.

Communication process was perfect and very clear. Ian knows exactly what he is looking for and was very clear about the new ideas during the shoot. He is very professional and does not spend much time on getting all the right settings ready.

Ian also was kind enough to provide time to rest and get warm with a cup of tea in the local pub sharing the pictures from the set.

Talking about the result I think Ian did an amazing job by projecting his personal vision through every shot and I love the mood of every single one!

Even though we weren't lucky enough with the weather (which I think gave us exactly the mood we were looking for) I had an amazing time working with Ian which I want to thank him for sincerely! And hope we will have a chance to work together some time soon ;)

And I would definitely say - if you like the style this photographer work in then work with him - you won't be disappointed!

Me and Ian planned a shoot and pre comms were all great and clear.

He was very flexible when I had to alter our shoot time to a little earlier due to having to sign a job contract.

He has a great style when it comes to photography. Natural and black and white. I really enjoyed our shoot!

I would love to work with Ian in the future. I really recommend him to anyone!

Thank you for a wonderful shoot

Very much recommending Ian to all models!! He is a great photographer and an endlessly easy-going, fun person to work with. I genuinely can't wait for the pictures. Hope to shoot with him again xx

Jade Lyon

Had another great shoot with Ian. I've worked with a him quite a few times over a few years now.

Ian is a very gentle friendly person and the photoshoots are always really relaxed. We walk around some different locations with particular spots in mind but shoot as we go when we see something that looks good as well.

When we arrived it was raining a lot! But I recommended a place with a lovely old bridge we could take some photos under for shelter and Ian was more than happy with the idea and carry on as planned with the shoot. We ended up being very lucky anyway as the rain soon stopped!

Always a pleasure working with Ian. Would definitely recommend him.
