I had a brilliant shoot with Ian yesterday in Gloucester city centre. Ian is a lovely, easy-going person who I clicked with really well. We had such a laugh during the shoot and he made me feel completely at ease.

Ian arrived dead on time for our 11am shoot. He was very enthusiastic throughout our time together and this especially stood out to me, as I am full of enthusiasm too! I felt like we bounced off each other during the shoot, both putting lots of ideas forward and the end result was some really great shots! Ian was kind and considerate, insisting that I keep my jacket on if I felt I needed to as it was extremely windy!

I am especially grateful to Ian as this shoot was the first where I wore barely any make-up at all, and I was a little worried about how the images would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised. During the shoot, Ian showed me the photos off the back of the camera and I was very impressed at how he managed to capture so many brilliant shots. He certainly knows how to bring out the best of a model in her natural state. Kudos to Ian for helping me build my confidence to be more comfortable in my own skin during shoots!

All in all, my shoot with Ian could not have gone any better. He was the perfect gentleman and I can't wait to see the end result! I would no doubt shoot with Ian again. :)

I shot with Ian today, and he cheerfully followed me all around Chesham and into the woods to take some beautiful portraits. We were blessed with unseasonably warm weather and Ian coped remarkably well with the changes in the light as the sun made an appearance. Ian was very relaxed to work with and we enjoyed a trip to my favourite coffee shop as part of the shoot. Highly recommended and I hope to work with him again!

Was lovely to work with Ian! After a few months now, we finally managed to arrange a shoot together in London. Ian came from quite far to shoot with me, and it was an honour! Pre-shoot communication was on spot! We agree to shoot some lovely portrait in Shoreditch, one of my favourite area! It was such a good day I spend shooting with him and the natural light was great! Ian was very open to my ideas and had some lovely suggestions as well. He's super nice to work with and I am pleased with the final images. Thank you very much, Ian, for travelling so far to me, it has definitely been worth it!! I am more than happy to recommend Ian and would definitely work with him again this year :) Bou

Firstly, I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ian for the second.

It was a cold winters day so he understood that we would have to take care as we were shooting out on location (although, the sun wasn't always on our side, it did unexpectedly become a bit too bright). I felt that Ian took everything in stride, and we were able to make some wonderful images.

He is a caring individual, who I find to be incredibly easy to talk to. He is an intelligent, creative thinking with a good outlook on life.

I do hope to work with him again, and I highly recommend him to all!

Ian is such a wonderful person to work with. It's not often that I meet someone who I have so much in common with, it was actually quite refreshing for me and a true pleasure to be able to bond over our similarities.

I felt the fact that we got on so well meant that we were able to get some fantastic portraits together. Ian is a skilled photographer and he does take wonderful pictures.

I would definitely work with him again should the opportunity arise. I give him my most highest recommendation.

Thank you so much for an enjoyable shoot. :)

I am so glad I had the chance to shoot with Ian. He's very friendly and a very nice person, he has a great eye for portraits using natural and soft light. I enjoyed every moment of the shooting and I'm totally amazed by the outcomes. So many great photos that don't need any editing or just a small one.

Ian was amazing to delivery all the photos in a very short time. I'm still choosing which I want to edit and it's difficult because they are all good.

Thank you so much Ian, I hope we will shoot again soon.

I highly recommend him to any model who loves great photos!

Had a lovely shoot with Ian the other week, he is very relaxed and friendly. He wanted a natural, casual shoot, and asked me to wear clothes I feel comfortable in and minimal makeup. This made pre-shoot prep insanely quick and easy! Would definitely work with him again, and would highly recommend him.

Shooting with Ian was wonderful, he's incredibly welcoming, friendly and a really interesting guy.

We shot at a local country park near me which Ian travelled all the way down for. It felt more like a leisurely walk with a friend than a shoot in the end; interesting and funny conversation, great weather, a really lovely day.

Ian's style is beautifully natural and understated. His has a great vision for natural light and using surroundings to make beautiful natural portraits. It's also refreshing to see minimal editing as well on his chosen shots. His pre-communication was great (we set the date months in advance!) and I would highly recommend Ian!

I absolutely loved my shoot with ian. So far the results are great and I’m looking forward to seeing more. Ian is a very genuine, kind person and we had a fun day together. He is totally professional with a relaxed, chatty demeanour. Really hope to shoot again !

I had my first shoot with Ian yesterday, and I couldn’t recommend him higher! From the start Ian made me feel relaxed, was fun to talk to and shoot with! We shot around Rochester Castle and Ian kindly drove over 3 hours to shoot with me, which was really appreciated!

Ian had so many ideas for different shots we could take and scoped the area before I got there, meaning we had a wide range of shots even though we stayed in the same area.

Ian keeps his editing style quite natural, which is really refreshing to see, and the photos I’ve seen so far have been lovely! I would 100% recommend Ian and I would love to work together again some day :)

Had a lovely shoot with Ian. He drove a long way just to shoot me!

I always try and be early to shoots and Ian was already there before I showed up! He was very sweet and respectful when shooting and clearly really loves photography.

Pre comms were great and the shoot was nice and relaxed.

Highly recommend a shoot with Ian!

Really enjoyable first shoot with Ian! Met up at a park to do some natural light, portrait images. A real genuine guy, who made me feel very relaxed from the off. Although we had already talked about what we wanted from the shoot, he continually asked for my ideas and input throughout. I love his relaxed natural style and this makes for some beautiful images. The shoot flew by and that’s always a sign of how enjoyable it was! Thanks Ian, so pleased with the images and would definately like to work with you again. A Big highly recommended from me!⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ian and I had a lovely first shoot together on Tuesday and I could not recommend him enough! Both an absolutely lovely person and a talented photographer, Ian is so easy to get along with and always makes the shoot feel so relaxed and comfortable. The images we got back were so cool and I found it so refreshing to be able to really collaborate on the shoot creatively, Ian was so welcoming to my input and I'm so proud of the images he shot, he is also fantastic at direction to get a good shot so any new models would be completely at ease. His style of shoot is really natural and that makes for some beautiful results.

A genuinely lovely person, friendly and amazing photographer, Ian is definitely one to book with. A pleasure to work together!

I had an absolute pleasure to work with Ian last weekend. He was very well organised, easy to work with and I had a lot of fun working with him. We have managed to shot on multiple locations at magnificent Windsor Great Park in Surrey- Ian's choice of location was great too! It was a pleasure and I hope to work with him again in the future. I do highly recommend working with him! :)

Today I had a lovely shoot with Ian! Pre shoot comms were perfect!

He is such a friendly and kind hearted guy who is also a fab photographer! We had a wonderful time wandering around Pittville Park in Cheltenham and we took it in turns to suggest shoot ideas and then tried them out :) It was great fun, very chilled and an all round enjoyable experience!

Highly recommended from me :) Thankyou!

I had a really enjoyable fashion shoot on location with Ian on Monday. I was honoured that Ian drove so far to work with me, and really enjoyed his company during the shoot! Ian is creative, enthusiastic, friendly and interesting. We managed to get a great variety of images during a relaxed shoot and I would love to work with Ian again. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful chilled shoot with Ian today , we took a walk and got some casual fashion/portrait shots . Ian is very enthusiastic about his work and clearly is passionate about his holy and takes pride in his imagery . He was inspired so much just by his surroundings and was great to see someone so happy with what was being produced. Ian is a relaxed and fairly quiet soul much like myself but is just as happy to chat. Thanks you for an enjoyable afternoon . Jess x

Ian was a pleasure to work with and the location he chose was beautiful. He's a lovely person, very easy going and luckily the weather held out and didn't rain until the end of the shoot. It was a very relaxed, enjoyable shoot and pre shoot com's were perfect and organised. I would recommend him 100% and I look forward to working with Ian again in the future

Worked with Ian today to capture some autumn colours by the river thames. He travelled many miles to shoot with me which is very flattering. He was super friendly from the get go and very passionate about his photography. He sees textures and shapes that I don’t see - his creative eye will take him a long way. Really happy with what I saw on the back of the camera - hopefully we got some gems. Highly recommended and hopefully he’ll be tempted to come down to london to shoot with me again soon.

I had a brilliant shoot with Ian at Colwick Country Park. He's very friendly, easygoing and conversational, making it a nice and relaxed shoot. We got lots of beautiful portraits in natural light which I loved! Pre-shoot comms were also excellent.

I highly recommend Ian and would gladly work with him again! :)
