My second shoot with Ian was an absolute delight! This time we worked together during another recent tuition. His pre shoot communications were good, responding well to my questions.

During the shoot itself, he was polite, professional and friendly and we jumped straight into the shoot. I felt respected by Ian at all times and I felt very comfortable working with him as we made our way around the set ups we had organised.

Ian is very happy adjusting his camera settings as and when needed. He's got a great eye for photography which is clear to see and hes got a great rapport with the models he works with. He was once again super easy to work with and he was open to my ideas too.

I'd highly recommend Ian and look forward to shooting with him again.

Thankyou for an amazing shoot!

Another epic tuition shoot with Ian, again in our home studio. This time we worked on balancing natural light with LED light and from start to finish Ian payed a lot of attention.

He worked hard to get the images right in camera and didn't hesitate to ask questions.

He was polite and respectful throughout the shoot and was happy to go with the flow. Ian is a fantastic photographer and someone we've been lucky enough to join on his photography journey.

A wonderful person to work with who takes great shots.

We highly recommend Ian to other creatives!

My second tuition shoot with Ian and like the first it went very smoothly. He arrived with some ideas of what he wanted to achieve and worked with me to make those happen. He provided some outfits for the shoot as well which we styled and got great shots with.

He's wonderful to work with and the model was very comfortable throughout the shoot. His back of camera shots looked great and I look forward to seeing the results! Highly recommended!

Ian recently attended a Team Black Tuition in our home studio and from start to finish he was a joy to work with.

His pre shoot communications were clear and well laid out meaning when he arrived we knew exactly what to expect. He was polite, professional and friendly throughout, really listening to the advice we gave.

I felt comfortable around Ian from the start as we worked our way through several sets. He wasn't afraid to ask questions and really immersed himself into the experience.

The back of camera shots looked epic and I look forward to seeing the edits!

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Ian, and I definitely hope to do so again. Highly recommended by me!

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

I met Ian during a Team Black Tuition in my home where we focused of studio style lighting. He provided a mood board ahead of time expressing what he wished to work on and then we put it into practice.

He arrived on time with a positive attitude and stayed focused throughout the shoot. He was happy to ask questions and equally happy to observe, watching how and why I positioned the lights.

He was polite and respectful of the model throughout and was very easy to communicate with.

The back of camera shots looked wonderful and I'm excited to see his final edits.

Ian was a top gentleman to work with recently on a tuition course focusing in studio lighting. He provided a mood board with what he wanted to learn and showed up with tonnes of enthusiasm. During the shoot he was polite and respectful with a very friendly and approachable demeanor. We felt very comfortable in his presence and worked together to achieve the results he wanted.

Ian was attentive and asked questions throughout, not hesitating to put into practice things we'd mentioned. His camera knowledge was great and he has a great eye for detail. It was a truly wonderful shoot and he went away with so many gorgeous images.

Thanks for a fabulous shoot!
