Talented, Easy going, Bonkers and fun to be around are a few words that spring to mind:)

I wanted to improve my lighting technique and learn some new Photoshop methods, so I set up a session with idollphamine and Lia Maria. Definitely one of the best mentoring sessions I've ever had! Jay is a great teacher of both shooting/lighting skills and PS while Lia (as well as being a great model) also has a lot of retouching knowledge. I can't think of another photographer/model/studio combination that offers all this and what's especially great is that the two of them will tailor the session to your needs. I got exactly what I wanted out of the day and would recommend them both without hesitation.

Attended a photo shoot with Lia Maria & idollphamine, as someone who has never been in a professional studio before, I'm not going to lie I was a little nervous. So, to be shooting with a pancake lens & everyone rocking massive lenses, I felt a little overshadowed & slightly embarrassed. However, the day was just pure awesome & the pictures that I shot, came out absolutely superb. Jay is a really down to earth guy, who likes to have a laugh & I really learnt a lot from him, about different lighting techniques & how important it is to communicate with the model during a shoot for better photos.

Absolutely superb day & already looking forward to another group shoot with him.

Met idolphamine for the first time on one of his events. The guy's a diamond, super friendly, very helpful and down to earth type of guy.. Drinks tea by the gallon.. (Says everything you need to know) teaches in a common sense and easy to understand way. Learned a lot.

I don't need to comment on the quality of his work, it's obvious from his port.

Highly recommended.

Cheers

Had another shoot with this fantastic photographer/retoucher. Idollphamine has helped me develop my modelling skills and bring my portfolio up to a higher standard with his experience and knowledge. Any models out there wanting to up your game need to contact him and get a shoot booked in. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with Idollphamine I highly recommend this photographer. I learnt so much as it was my first studio shoot. He truly is a creative genius there are no limits to what he can do. His editing is the best by far I have come across. He didn't rush and made me feel totally at ease. I will be working with him again very shortly.

Arranged a shoot with idollphamine on for the Friday - quite a spur of the moment shoot for myself due to work plans. But everything fell into.place perfectly. Communications pre shoot were spot on, I was clearly informed on what I had to bring and what was happening.

During the shoot I was made to feel very welcomed and comfortable, constantly offered refreshments and food. He's a real gentleman and always made sure I was okay, warm, watered and fed.

I have seen some previews so far and I can't wait to see more.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with idollphamine and I hope he will have me back soon. X

This guy is an amazing person. Really relaxing to shoot with, great fun to be around and truly stunning pictures. I learned more in the first hour of the shoot with him than I did in years of previous modelling. Can't wait to get working on more stuff with him!!

ADORE shooting with Idollphamine :)

He very kindly asked me back to his studio after our first shoot in August last year and we shot some beautiful latex for a front cover magazine shoot.

If you haven't already worked with him, get onto it!!

This man may very well be a genius! And a lovely, fun, entertaining one at that! Awesome shoot, incredible images! Dying to back in the studio with him!! ♥

I had a pleasure to work with Jay in his awesome studio. He's amazinn, proffessional, makes you laugh and feel comfortable, always give great directions, i've learnt a lot yesterday. I'm very happy about the pictures, feels like it was my best photoshoot! I cannot wait to work with him again!! Fully recommend!!

Marianne Di Vine

One of the best photographers I have ever worked with and I have forgotten to leave a reference!!! What a numpty! And that's in no way a reflection on this wonderful man's ability, only my idiocy!

I spent an unforgettable day with Jay and his assistant John. He very kindly put me up the night before and picked me up from the station, making sure I was well looked after...

The next day, we made our way over to his studio where we proceeded to empty my suitcase and get to work.

Jay is a lighting and photoshop genius! We nailed the shots within seconds due to his amazing ability, which is clearly displayed by the standard of his port. He even had an amazing retouched image with me whilst I was still on the train home!

It was such a thoroughly enjoyable day, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jay to anyone on here and I would love to be able to shoot with him again. Jay, you're a superstar ♥ x

Idollphamine puts you at ease, he's a great guy with A LOT of talent in all areas. He knows how to get great lighting and the best out of the model. He's easy to talk to and definitely produces some amazing shots, well worth working with if you get the chance!

Mercia Storm

Well, what can I say? Jay found me on Instagram and within a few hours we had arranged a shoot and within a week, we had worked together :)

Genuinely lovely guy, made me feel very comfortable shooting with him and we got some amazing results (which is always good!)

It definitely won't be long until I travel up to shoot with him again - just hope there are no train delays this time!

Had a great shoot with Jay yesterday! He is professional and fun to work with, gives directions very well and help me learn a lot about modelling! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him! Thanks for a brilliant shoot and looking forward to work with you again xx

After literally months of talking and advice from Jay, I've finally had a shoot with him and Big John yesterday. I'm so delighted to have finally met and worked with them both at the studio in Leeds ♥

Two of the nicest, most genuine guys you could wish to meet with more than their fair share to talent to boot!

They are both chilled, easy to get on with, enthusiastic and encouraging. They know what they want and exactly how to achieve it.

The turn around on images was amazing, Jay had posted two images before I even had time to get home. My long trip to Leeds was definitely worth while and I won't hesitate to go back to work with Idollphamine again ♥

With Love
