Ian was one of the photographers at a James Bond themed shoot. The shoot itself was great fun to take part in and Ian has produced some superb images from it. He was professional on set and treated everyone with respect. I would recommend you work with him given the opportunity.

Did a James Bond shoot at Rochester Studios, where Iain is a co-owner, last week. I absolutely love working with Iain. He's so professional, funny, kind, and gets the best photos! I worked with Iain before when we filmed for Weekly Imogen on YouTube and so I can say that he is always infectiously happy. Would 100% recommend working with Iain!!

I first spoke to Iain when I first started modelling over 3 years ago and last week our pathes finally crossed for a shoot! It was a very short and sweet shoot- very exciting as the concept Iain had come up with involved many themes and many switches in outfits and emotions. This made the shoot thoroughly enjoyable and the fast pace ensured that the creative juices kept flowing!

Not only was Iain’s idea for my part very fun and inventive, the use of gels to create his varied look book was too! Lighting and setup seemed superb, as we definitely managed to get some awesome shots.

On top of that, Iain and his assistant were both very friendly and funny and made sure I was comfortable in the studio. The added to the enjoyment of the shoot hugely!

I highly recommend Iain and would 100% work with him again should I have the chance. If anyone is reading this to decide on shooting with Iain, please know that I think you will have an excellent time and see some excellent photos as a result!

Thank you Iain! :)

I just love working with Iain. This shoot was an over night tale of murder in Victorian London. A challenge for Iain to create street lighting effect. He nailed it. He was a great member of our team lots of fun to work with and professional through and through. He worked really well with a cast of 14 and produced some amazing images.

Thanks Iain for your lighting skills and look forward to Wednesdays challenge

I have shot with Iain before of course, so I knew that he is a very classy photographer. Once more he was fantastic. He is a true pro and a fabulous guy. He was a pleasure and a joy to work with as always. Looking forward to next time...

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Iain for the second time. This time it was a night shoot with a large cast dressed in Victorian costumes re-creating street scenes from 1888 when Jack the Ripper murdered his last 2 victims. Iain is professional, cheerful and a great team member. He knows what he wants to achieve and does it. Iain made photographs from the shoot available to all very soon after the shoot. He is a great photographer and I hope I get to work with him again.

I was very fortunate to shoot with Iain twice in one day at Rochester Studios for a latex pull shoot (which I was drafted in for last min compliments of the MUA team) and for a Jack the Ripper shoot which was shot over night.

Iain was great to shoot for and he captured some great moments in both shoots that were very different to the other three photographers on site. Great edits quickly made available to the entire cast. I look forward to working with him again.

It as a pleasure working with Ian on the recent Jack the Ripper Photoshoot! Always so friendly, so professional and great photographer! A real pleasure to have within the team!

I will look forward to working with Ian again and highly recommend his work :)

It was a pleasant suprise to work with Iain for the first time at a group shoot for Jack the Ripper following the actual timeline throughout the night, after adding him to my WTWW list the same day!

He’s very professional with his work ethic, whilst also happy to have a good laugh throughout which helped due to the fact it was freezing cold and Iain was very kind making sure I was kept warm in between shots and even offering me his coat whilst I was shivering!

Would be great to work with Iain again and I’m already loving the photos I’ve seen so far! Would highly recommend to any model thinking of working with him and I look forward to working with him more in the future.

Thanks again :)

Worked with Iain on a jack the ripper nightspot,

he was very effective with his shots and was very supportive to me when I was rather poorly on our shoot day.

I recommend him highly and look forward to working together on other projects.

Thank you Iain

Photographer Gino Cinganelli

I worked along side Ian yesterday on a joint shoot with two wonderful models. working with Ian is a total pleasure, he is friendly and looks after the models making sure they are warm enough in the studio environment. His lighting skills are fantastic, he has great idea's when lighting the studio and they all come together to create great images. Yesterday both the models warmed to Ian and the shoot was brilliant.

Thank you Ian for asking me to shoot along side you. it was a pleasure to work and watch you work. The few images I have seen from the shoot are outstanding. Thanks again

Another amazing shoot with Iain! He's extremely talented and always brings great ideas to the shoot! He's such a lovely guy and a great laugh! Really easy to get in with and will always make you u feel comfortable (makes a great cup of coffee too) he's knows what he's doing and gives great direction! The images I've seen so far are fantastic! I'm never disappointed after a shoot with Iain! Highly recommended!

I had my first shoot with Iain yesterday, working alongside another model (Kelly) and with another photographer (Gino). I had been looking forward to the shoot for a while, as we had booked it in some time ago. I just had a feeling that it was going to be a great shoot - and it really was!

The four of us just worked so naturally together -the time absolutely flew by, and we achieved so much in a wonderfully relaxed way.

Iain is well prepared and had put a lot of effort into planning the shoot and arranging a particular prop (which was excellent!), but he is also very relaxed and calm, and just a real pleasure to shoot with. He welcomes input from his models, which is something I really appreciate, and is wholly respectful and kind (even bringing muffins along for us all!).

The images from the shoot really do speak for themselves - I was proud to be part of them, and very much hope that we get a chance to work together again in the future. Thank you Iain! I would apologise for breaking you.... but it wouldn't be entirely honest! :p

I recommend working with Iain without hesitation - thanks for having me!

I had the pleasure of working with Iain at Rochester Studios, alongside Gino and Bex White. Pre-comms were fantastic - details were discussed thoroughly beforehand and it was very organised. Iain is so easy to get on with, has a great sense of humour, is highly professional and respectful and had so many creative ideas throughout the shoot. Iain showed us images from the back of the camera and allowed us to pose freely. We had a lovely relaxed yet productive shoot and got some gorgeous results.

Thank you, Iain! 100% recommended :)

Boo photos

Iain is a great photographer and a lovely guy to work with. I worked with him on the weekly Imogen Utube channel and had great fun.

I look forward to working with him again :)

Petra Ashby

Had my first shoot with Iain at the Rochester Studios portfolio building day.

Iain was friendly and approachable from the very start, super easy to talk to and great company.

Iain really knows his stuff therefore he was extremely helpful to the other photographers that were present.

He gives direction when needed but will let you pose freely as well. The shoot just flew by. Thank you again for booking me for the portfolio day!

And another fantastic shoot with Iain! worked with him so many times now and it wont be the last! not only is Iain very talented and professional, he is also a great laugh and a really genuine guy! Would not hesitate recommending Iain and your always bound to get amazing images at the end of it!

I would highly recommend Iain. He made me feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning.

As this shoot was outside, he gave me a tour of my surroundings so I was fully aware of the area that I would be shooting at allowing me to have an input of which landscapes would provide the best backdrop for my pictures.

Iain came up with fantastic ideas. He is a great photographer and again, I would highly recommend to any models.
