Great first shoot with Ian today at his small yet well equipped home studio. Ian was super understanding when I was running late due to unforeseen circumstances and was a joy to work with. He was respectful and professional throughout with some great ideas for the shoot. Looking forward to seeing the results and would recommend Ian to all models. Thanks for a fab shoot!

I had the most enjoyable shoot with Ian! Our pre-communication was excellent. He provided me with all the necessary information about our shoot, and he was also concerned about traffic jams and messaged me with some tips to avoid them! On the day of the shoot, he was so kind to meet me near the car and help with my heavy bag. He and his lovely wife were incredibly friendly; he offered me some drinks and did everything to create a truly pleasant atmosphere!

The entire shoot was relaxed and fun. I had the freedom to be creative, suggest my own ideas, use his props, and choose the outfits. Also, Ian had some great ideas that I was thrilled to bring to life🤗 I found him to be a really great photographer! His skills are impressive, and he can create artistic lighting to capture really beautiful and unique photos. He showed me the photos on the back of his camera, and I was truly pleased with them!

It was a fantastic shoot, and I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future shoots. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again! Thank you so much for a fantastic shoot!

Crossroads Studio

Ian is always a welcome guest to Crossroads Studio, and it was good to have him back for the studio day hosted by Maryna Sedin.

Ian is very friendly and very easy to get along with. He has many ideas which he brings along to his shoots. Ian is also willing to the ideas of his model which all makes for a great shoot for all.

Ian’s photography is always good so if you’re a model wanting some excellent images, then contact Ian.

I can definitely recommend him!

What a fabulous shoot I had with Ian, it went really great. Pre-communication was on spot and we were planning to shoot for a long period of time so Ian showed up in an excellent mood brimming over with creative ideas. Ian also brought some great outfit which complemented my look and wow how much fun we had. Ian is a friendly,polite and creative photographer and I hope I will have a chance to shoot with him again

Highly recommended,100%

Just had a wonderful shoot with Ian at Silkwood. As always his pre shoot comms are spot on and he even brought a hat as a prop which looked so lovely. We were able to work through all of the outfits I brought and we worked so efficiently! I would highly recommend working with him and I hope to do so again soon :)

I would Highly recommend IJS, we had our first shoot today, we did a location shoot around york.

Pre communications were brilliant, and shoot plans were very straight forward and organised.

Ian very kindly met me at York train station and we got on instantly. Ian is very friendly and made me feel comfortable, he is also very talented and professional

We both shared creative ideas for us to try which was really nice that he let me have creative input.

We had a coffee break inbetween and had a lovely chat.

I feel like we've got some brilliant shots today and that we worked well together. I would like to shoot with Ian again, as I hope he does me aswell.

Thanks

Fantastic second shoot with IJS!

A nice and relaxed easy going shoot, shot lingerie, boudoir and some nude.

As like last time, felt super relaxed and comfortable.

Thanks again! :)

Ian came to my home to shoot me, he was very sweet and kind. The pictures are beautiful and I really enjoyed our time shooting. Ian has a true passion for photography and he is a delight to be around. I had to reschedule on two occasions due to big jobs that came up in around our dates however Ian was very understandable and I knocked the fee as a good will gesture! Ian has a great camera and enjoys all aspects of photography which is nice! Thank you Ian for being amazing and such fun to work with ,highly recommend ❤️

I had a super first shoot of 2023 with Ian remotely at my home studio.

.

After some initial problems with tech (Ian's watsapp wasn't playing game) we managed to find a solution and get shooting!

.

70's was the main theme so I made a set especially for him

.

Ian was easy to work with and nice to chat away with- I hope we can do another remote shoot again soon and maybe one day shoot in person :)

Finally got to shoot with Ian, at his home studio! And what an epic shoot it was!

Such an easy going photographer, very enjoyable to work with and he remained professional and respectful throughout.

He was full of fabulous creative ideas but also happy for me to pose freely and throw in my own ideas, working together to achieve the perfect shot! The time shot by, which to me is always a good sign!!

Highly recommended to any level of model! The images are fab! And I absolutely cannot wait to work with him again!

Thanks again for an awesome shoot! 😁

Another great photoshoot with IJS. This time at his home studio. Very relaxed, full of ideas, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We had some styles discussed beforehand, and Ian had great props we used during the shoot. Recommended 100%

Monia El

My first photoshoot with Ian on location - and a great one, too! Communication before, during and after the photoshoot was great. He was a friendly, professional gentleman, so time flew by very fast. We worked as a team, bouncing ideas off each other, he came up with great locations and was happy to go with my ideas too. I would certainly recommend working with him and will work with him in the future. Thank you so much for a great shoot!

It was a pleasure to have a remote shoot with Ian in Libre studio for the first time.

Ian planned everything before and was very easygoing to work with.

We managed to take more than 300 images in less than 2 hours which is very good for remote shooting and many of them are great.

Highly recommended!

Maha

I would recommend Ian as he is friendly and easy going on the shoot. Ian communicates well and is positive and respectful throughout the process. We managed to get what we needed in a short space of time and Ian was open to trying out any and all ideas. I was really happy and energised by seeing the previews he shot of me. Generally a relaxed yet fruitful shoot. Recommended!

He is easy to get along with and as always would highly recommend him!

Can't wait to see the images and hope to work together again soon.
