I honestly don’t know where to begin with Ian - what an incredibly lovely and kind soul! People like him are rare these days.

This was my second time shooting with Ian, this time at my home location. He is one of those photographers I warmed to instantly and someone I have a lot of time/respect for.

Ian is always fab with pre-shoot comms, is punctual and is a true gentleman throughout. I really enjoy the way he conducts a shoot because it allows for breaks, discussion and a bit of a natter. The shoot time absolutely flew by which is always a really positive sign.

We shot a number of a different sets and captured some fantastic images! Ian has to be one of the easiest to work with photographers, he makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I really like that as well as having his own ideas/suggestions he also welcomes input from me too.

I really do feel like he has a huuuge amount of potential and it’s so lovely to see how passionate he is about shooting. Ian has got a great talent for someone who is still relatively new to photographing models, so I’m excited to see how he progresses.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and look forward to the next! Highly recommended by me.

Thanks again Ian,

Serenity~x

I had a great shoot with Ian during my Studio day at Inspire Studios.

I and Ian have shot together before and get on very well.

Ian is creative, friendly, respectful, kind, outgoing and passionate about photography.

I really enjoy creating with him and socialising with him too.

I look forward to seeing the results :)

Thank you Ian for a great shoot and great day.

I hope we get to meet and shoot again, I would love that!

Highly recommended person and photographer.

First visit to the studio by Ian and he was shooting with Kitty Dawson on her studio day. Ian is a lovely chap and really easy to chat to and his communication was spot on before his visit. Ian was great with the model and the shoot was nice and relaxed but equally he got through plenty of different sets. Would absolutely be delighted to see Ian back again.

Ian attended HB Mansion for one of our model days (with the stunning Serenity) and he was an absolute gem. Impeccably polite, well mannered, friendly and professional. He booked 2 slots and was here for 4 hours and the time flew by. Serenity was super relaxed around him and her feedback was just as enthusiastic as our own.

We really look forward to welcoming him back to HB Mansion and can highly recommend him to anyone :)

I had my first ever shoot with Ian at the incredible HB Mansion location. What a fabulous guy!!

Ian is such a lovely soul, one of those people you meet and just instantly feel comfortable and happy around. I love his approach when it comes to shooting - ensuring we have plenty of breaks and chance to take a look at what we’ve captured.

From the get go Ian was warm, friendly and incredibly chatty. We hit it off straight away and had plenty to talk about throughout the shoot. I was surprised to hear that Ian was still relatively new to photography, which shows me how much potential he truly has for years to come. I was really excited to work with Ian as I saw some lovely work on his port.

We covered a range of sets/styles throughout the 4 hours and bounced ideas back & fourth to eventually nail some fabulous images.

I really enjoyed the shoot and found that the time just flew by! Ian really is a kind, genuine person who is a joy to work with.

I’m almost certain this will hopefully be the first of many shoots! ;)

I would highly recommend Ian to models of all levels of experience.

Today I had an amazing shoot with Ian at studio in Wimbledon. I couldn't be more happier with our shoot . Ian is amazing to shoot with. He radiats a lot of positive energy, and he makes the model feel very comfortable. The shoot went really smoothly, and Ian shoots without any rush and gives a model time to have little breaks, so it should be really appreciated. Ian created amazing atmosphere, he is very polite, respectful ,kindhearted and easy-going photographer. Time just flew away from us, I alsolutely like our chats, great to consider a shoot not only like a dry work to be done without any hint of smile. So I really enjoyed our shoot, and will highly recommend to shoot with Ian, he is amazing, thanks Ian, looking forward to shoot with you again 👍 😊

This however was a different shoot, I had shot with Ian and we booked a duo shoot with the amazing Abigail Marie. What a laugh and we got some brilliant images as always from Ian.

Ian was encouraging to both of us and our ideas, we all worked brilliantly together. Recommended as always!

Abigail Marie

What an excellent first shoot with Ian, first of many I hope!

I had a great shoot with Ian during one of my Studio days.

Ian was friendly upon arrival, respectful, polite, professional, outgoing, creative and passionate about photography.

Me and Ian not only got a great variety I'm sure of killer shots, but we also got on very well too!

I felt very comfortable around Ian too.

I look forward to seeing more of our results and I hope me and Ian get to shoot together again, we made a great team :)

Highly recommended photographer :)

After having to postpone the oriognal planned shoot, Ian and managed to fix the second date fairly quickly. His pre shoot communications were excellent and well thought out.

We had a brief chat, offering my advice before jumping into the shoot. He was polite and respectful throughout the shoot, and very understanding of the limitations of the hot tub.

Thanks for a fab shoot.

I worked with Ian for the first time (in person) a few weeks ago on a duo event with Carla Monaco hosted at NLS.

In the four hours we covered a lot of different genres, styling and ideas- whilst having little breaks and chatting a lot in between too.

I really loved the images I saw on the back of the camera and it felt super good to be puling shapes again in the studio after so long. Really looking forward to seeing the final results from the shoot! :)

Thank you Ian.

Miss L Ginge

Ian is great to work with! We had our third shoot and he was as lovely as our second and first. Ian's pre shoot coms are always on point and never fails to hear out ideas and share he's own.

Ian is always mindful of how comfortable you (the model) is which always goes a long way. He is always eager to please and make sure you are happy with what is being taken.

I am more than happy to recommend Ian, can't wait till our next shoot!

I worked with Ian in-person for the first time, a half day at Natural Light Spaces recently, and had a really good shoot with him (we have worked remotely twice before). He was friendly, professional and considerate with me throughout. He respected my space, and we both did covid tests the day before as I had requested.

We shot a fab range of images but also took consideration to refine each set, chatting and discussing composition, lighting and editing possibilities, and had breaks too. We also spent some time reflecting over some issues, where I offered my advice and feedback. Ian seems so keen to learn, ensure he does things right, and has terrific enthusiasm for photography.

I had a very pleasant three hour remote shoot with Ian yesterday evening.

Ian contacted me for the shoot and was very polite and committed perfectly well before the shoot.

During the shoot he was very understanding when we had to communicate via mobile phone and not via my second computer as it had stopped working. This meant my partner was in the room for about 20 minutes as he tried (and failed) to get the primary communication system online again.

Ian was very chilled the whole time and was very friendly and fun. We found we have a shared interest in cats and other animals so got on very well.

Im happy to wee Ian has already shared some results on FB and they look great.

Such a lovely gentleman! I had a great shoot with Ian at me home recently. Chatty and relaxed and he takes the most beautiful photos! I highly recommend Ian to all models he’s a gem to work with!

Thankyou again 😊
