Honestly cannot recommend Iain enough he is so professional and makes you feel super comfortable. Not any part of the show was awkward and we chatted like we were friends and had a laugh. The shots were amazing and he’s edits are even better I honestly cannot recommend Iain enough! Brilliant… thank you for the laughs I’m putting up with my weird old personality

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent photoshoot with Iain at Rochester Studios. His easygoing attitude put me at ease and I really appreciated his thorough communication prior and allowing me so much creative input!

I’m happy with the photos, he’s a great photographer and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Iain and looking forward to working together again in the future!

Iain is a great photographer and put me at ease. I met him at a group shoot a few weeks back for cancer awareness. Didn’t get to work together for as long as I would have liked…. But would definitely love to work with Iain again. Iain made me feel comfortable and was very professional:)

Myself and Iain had been conversing on instagram and got a studio day booked in for my to get some content with tights and use up some outfits! :)

The first half with Iain and the second with Dave.

When I arrived the car park was full but iain was extremely helpful ensuring I got in a tight space safely!

He was an absolute pleasure to work with! So creative and full of ideas. He has a great set up and such an amazing talent!

We created a good selection of the images I wanted/needed and we even did a boudoir style set! It was fab!

He is a true professional within the studio and really knows his stuff!

I loved working with him and have another booked for February 2023.

Appreciate the time you spent on my images even making me some quirky edits! :)

Highly recommend to any model!!!

Thanks again :)

I popped out a casting and Iain was perfect for what I was looking for. He approached me in a professional way and I immediately couldn’t wait to shoot. He was helpful when I arrived guiding me in a parking space and helping with bags. He was a pleasure to work with, with a fantastic set up. Making the shoot enjoyable and the ideas flowed well. The time went extremely quick so I will be booking a second shoot for sure! Thanks iain! It was a lot of fun working with you.

I had a fantastic shoot with Iain at his Rochester Studios, great pre and post shoot comms and he was a delight to shoot with.

I am very happy with the results and will most certainly love to shoot with Iain again soon.

Highly Recommended :)

This is a very overdue reference but a good one! I worked with Iain for the second time at Rochester Studios. The first shoot we had was very good but the second shoot was even better, Iain is simply just lovely just a complete pleasure to work with. He is so professional, always polite and respectful and a very very good photographer.

He always comes prepared with ideas, props, costumes and is so well organised. He always shares with you on the back of the screen what we are achieving as you go along and he even shared some beautiful images with me after the shoot too!

The time flew by with Iain which is always a good sign! I thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with Iain and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him! Absolutely lovely! Wholeheartedly recommended! Thank you for a lovely shoot and hope we can shoot again Iain!

I had my second shoot with Iain and my first back after a break. Brilliant as usual! We had discussions about ideas before and collated what we wanted. I arrived at the studio and it was like it hadn't been nearly a year since our last shoot. A great guy to work with who is happy to share concepts and take on ideas from the model as well as giving direction too. Knows his stuff with lighting and how to use his equipment. I felt comfortable throughout and having a sneak peek at the shots, very very happy! Thank you Iain.

Had been planning a Beetlejuice inspired shoot with Iain and Bea as the makeup artist for a while, and finally managed to get round to it recently in time for Halloween, which was actually quite fitting in the end!

Always love working with Iain, he's got a real eye for detail, knows about his lighting and how to get the best out of the shots and I just know that when I work with him I'm going to get some awesome shots out of it every time and he never disappoints!! He was also able to put up with myself and Bea for the evening so credit to him for that as we are pretty crazy when we're both together haha!

As always I highly recommend working with Iain, and looking forward to many more shoots together.. here's hoping a bit sooner than another year until the next one mind you! :D

I had a great shoot with Iain. I needed some up to date shots and nothing was to much trouble working with Iain, such a relaxed atmospere. I got just the images that I required.

Iain is such an easy guy to get along with and I would recommend him highly. I do hope we work together in the not so distant future.

Was a pleasure finally working with Iain one to one we usually work together on group shoots as always he was very professional, great fun & a talented photographer.

I hope to see him again soon I'd highly recommend him :)

Charlie Scott

Iain was absolutely fantastic to work with. His communication from the beginning was excellent and he really listened to me. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed and it made for a great shoot. He has a great eye for a good shot and knows what he wants to get from it. I really enjoyed the day and can't wait to work with him again!

LeahMeraki

Finally got the chance to work one to one with Iain after so many group shoots together over the past couple of years!! I came up with an idea for a halloween inspired shoot and I just knew I wanted to work with Iain on and I'm so glad that I did. He has a great eye for detail and clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to lighting so it was a no brainer really to be honest!

Thank you once again Iain, I am so happy with the results and I look forward to the next one!! :D

Highly recommended from me, if you haven't worked with Iain yet then you must!

I have had the privilege of working with Iain on a number of shoots and am always amazed at the images he creates. This shoot was a western themed affair with a number of us models and an equal amount of TOGs and of course with the covid restrictions in place made the shoot a little more difficult, but Iain took time and effort to capture brilliant images. I hope to get to work with him again.

Highly recommended.

I have been fortunate enough to work with Iain on two occasions for creative makeup shoots organised outside of pp. Iain is absolutely amazing and had the studio running smoothly with different set ups and lighting options throughout. He was really easy to work with, and provided ideas and feedback which I found so helpful as I haven’t done a great deal of modelling before. I adore with the images he shot and highly recommend Iain if you have not worked with him yet.

100% recommend and I look forward and hope to working with him again!

I’ve worked with Iain on many group shoots before and this time it was a small group of 3 photographers and myself and another model (Johnny) as a Knight and Princess at Reculver, Herne Bay one evening recently. It was great to see Iain again and it’s always a pleasure working with him. As usual we had a good laugh and the time just flew by, Iain has a great eye for detail and knows what he wants to achieve.

If you haven’t worked with him yet I would highly recommend doing so! I look forward to the next time and one day we will get that one to one shoot booked in! :D

I have been fortunate enough to work with Iain on two occasions now, the first being a lighting tutorial with another photographer. Iain is absolutely amazing and highly skilled in lighting technique and he took some lovely portraits which I adore. The second shoot I have worked on with Iain is a creative flour shoot. He has great ideas and is easy to work with making all involved feel very comfortable to try new ideas especially myself who at the time had very little experience modelling. I was thrilled with the images produced and highly recommend Iain if you have not had the chance to work with him yet!

100% recommended from me and I very much look forward to working alongside him again!

Always a pleasure!

Photographer Gino Cinganelli

Iain being one of our partners at Rochester Studios, I asked if he would help me light a complicated scene. Iain is the most skilled person at lighting I know. He worked out what I needed quickly and I was really happy with the results. Iain is a lovely guy and a very talented photographer who can light an image perfectly.

Thank you Iain for giving up your evening and helping me on my project.

Today i got to work with Iain for the first time. He had arranged for us to shoot in a beautiful location when turned out to be 6 minutes from my home and i didn't even know it was there. I feel that we had an absolutely amazing shoot!

He booked me for a dance shoot and from the back of the camera it looks like we nailed some of the shots.

He read my portfolio notes and brought the goods of jaffa cakes haha.

He was a lovely guy and very easy to work with, showed me the back of the camera ever handful of shots which really helps on a dance shoot.

Fantastic photographer and wonder person to get on with. 100% recommend.

P.s he even stayed a little after to get some shot of me that i wanted out in the garden. Cant thank you enough and looking forward to seeing some images.
