Well well well…..FINALLY! We shot! And BOY ! Was it worth the wait!!! IANTO IS AMAZING!!!!

THE SHOOT WAS AMAZING!

The results were BEYOND AMAZING !

One of the funnest shoots to date and some of my favourite photographs taken of me EVER!!

I don’t think I need say much more to be honest! I had so much fun shooting with this very talented photographer! I adore his work and his company! He made me laugh lots and we had lots in common! Loved every minuet and it makes me sad that we are so far apart - but I am sure there will be plenty more shoots in the future with more epic ness.

Highly recommended !

Had an amazing shoot AGAIN with ID. This time he came to my new apartment and we'd planned a very cool UV paint shoot! After a long catch up and a few cups of coffee we started with some nude portrait work around the apartment, using the best of the natural light and all IDs various film cameras before doing the intended UV neon paint photographs (so much fun!).

Always a pleasure working with ID. He's one of those guys that you just get on with so well it's like you've been friends forever. Let's not leave it so long this time :)

Thurston Lodge

ID was great to have at Thurston Lodge. Very easy to work, an interesting chap

with a lot of laughs a very enjoyable experience. I do hope ID comes back for some more fun shoots!

ID is just so much awesome in one person! (he literally has several characters, including a dinosaur!)

I was so grateful for him driving such a long way to shoot me at Thurston Lodge, and we hit it off straight away talking about Marvel and random facts of life.

ID bought about 6 different cameras with him including digital, film and polaroids too and let me see what was going on from the back of the camera throughout.

I've shot at Thurston several times but ID was pointing out little nooks and crannies that I had never even thought of, he really captured it uniquely and in his own style.

A great conversationalist and all round great guy whom I would love to shoot with again!

Thank you :)

ID is a photographer who always fills me with confidence, and I'm not sure what I'd do if I couldn't shoot with him!

He's one of those photographers who embodies the best parts of this community, so if you get the chance to shoot with him, I cannot recommend it highly enough :)

This is one of my favourite people to work with. Hes so down to earth, means you can have a really great, fun shoot and get awesome images!!

We already have another shoot booked in! Im already so excited!

100% professional, easy to talk to, made sure i was always happy and has some really cool ideas.

100% recommended!

My shoot with ID was enchanting and done in his 5* suite... A misrepresented room in the Travelodge next to London City Airport. :P Even though we shot after a huge exam he'd taken, ID way super laid-back and we had some really great chats (that perfect mixture between interesting, real, and funny). It's a pleasure to work with someone so emotionally intelligent. Also, *knocks on wood* we shall be sharing an alma-mater come this September, which only heightens our connection!

Oh, and of course, we got some excellent shots! ID is really old-school, which I love, and ended up being super enjoyable. We shot lots of polaroid and old film images, which turned out super retro and cool - unlike anything I usually do! Though he's a hobbyist, he treats his model with a great balance between professionalism and fun.

ID is definitely someone you want to work with, again and again.

I had an absolutely amaaazing, relaxed, fun shoot with Into Darkness!

We shot at my place and we made good use of my cool retro floor in the hallway with some wicked instant film!

We also got lucky with the light from my window and I’m in love with the shots we got there too!

More importantly- I.D was like working with a friend, such a wonderful, good humoured chap- I could really talk to him all day and I love a good, meaningful conversation! (they’re rather lacking these days) - we loved to moan about the same things 😆 and we both love sci-fi! .Thank you for coming out to Newport to shoot with me, and I would love to work with you again, anytime.

Any model would be lucky to shoot with Into Darkness! ♥️😁

Thanks again x

I had the pleasure of working with Into Darkness for the first time yesterday. He had good pre-shoot communication and had plenty of ideas for us to do upon my arrival.

ID Shoots from his home and has a nice spot in his study for natural light photography. He's got about a million different cameras and they are all so different. I had a great time seeing the instant results and can't wait to see more. ID is a very respectful, friendly photographer who's easy to work with and talk to.

We got along very well and I had a great time working with him, would definitely work with again. Highly recommended!

My second photoshoot with ID after a few years!

We had a few ideas but left plenty of room for improvisation and the time just flew! :) Creative, mindful of my comfort, as geeky as me and with excellent coffee- i look forward to working together again and highly recommend him. :) The pictures looked rather good too. :P

Ruby Lorcan

We'd been planning the shoot for ages and it was really worth it. Ianto had so many brilliant ideas, it was a shame we only had the chance to shoot a few.

He made me feel very welcome and relaxed and kept the coffee and chat flowing! Lovely photographer to work with, would highly recommend.

Jodie Donovan

Absolutely brilliant, welcoming and I felt so comfortable during the shoot! Will be back again :) my first shoot was a success x

This was my 2nd shoot with ID and didn't disappoint! We had a rough idea what we wanted to do beforehand but we just winged it on the day. ID travelled down to sunny (and then not so sunny) Devon where we did a mix of indoor and location work. ID is great to work with, easy going and so knowledgeable, therefore highly recommended to anyone! Hope to work with you again and again, thank you for today!

ID and I had been chatting about a shoot for some time so it was lovely to meet him at last! As soon as he arrived I felt comfortable and at ease, which continued through the shoot thanks to his laid-back style and easy-going demeanor. We shot a few different sets on digital and film (plus instax which I always love!). I found ID to be easy to work with, very pleasant company and highly knowledgeable. I'd happily recommend him to others and hope to shoot with him again when he returns from his break.

I had the pleasure of working with ID during my tour on Sunday, what an awesome guy! I hadn't done a Polaroid shoot before so I was extremely excited...and I think they looked awesome!

He was very easy to get along with, chatty, friendly and professional throughout.

Definitely recommended by me and I hope to work with him again in the future :)

Finally worked with into darkness last week, was an awesome shoot. Great guy, fun to work with. I loved his cool cameras and the photos rock, I hadn't done a polaroid shoot before so I was super excited (maybe over excited lol). He was very professional and funny! making the shoot an enjoyable experience. Would love to work with you again, and I highly recommend :) Thank you!!!

Nikita Crombie

Well for the very short time we shot - I was very impressed! I was welcomed into his home and fitted straight in.

Really looking forward to getting some more time booked in as we were cut short on time. Excellent eye for detail and got some really awesome results.

I will be back!! :) Highly recommended!

Shannie

Had a great first shoot with ID, hopefully more to come!!!

Excellent comms despite being late due to the lovely holiday traffic, so we toddled off to a local beach for some swimwear shoots! Total gent and dealt with my nervousness well, and have had some amazing pics back already!

Highly recommended, when do we shoot next?

Shannie :)
