John was very professional and very easy to work with. He created a welcoming environment and was and made me feel safe and comfortable. I’d highly recommend John.

Absolutely incredible shoot with John yesterday, one of my favourites of the year! We decided on a motorbike shoot which is a concept I'd wanted to do for ages - as John was visiting my area it was down to me to research locations, MUA and bike. However pre shoot comms were great. Belter tunes blasting on arrival meant for a great atmosphere from the start and we had a great laugh producing what from the back of camera look like some epic images! I was immediately at ease and loved every second. Great to be able to get some images from a paid shoot too - nice touch. If you get a chance to shoot with John, do it!!

Had my first shoot with the talented John today, I had put up a last minute casting call due to a cancellation. He was kind enough to fill the spot and I'm so glad he did.

It's clear he knows his stuff and takes photography seriously, he will do anything it takes to get the perfect shot. He made me feel very relaxed and comfortable during shooting nude and conversation flows with him, added an extra bonus that he has a great personality and isn't shy to have a laugh.

Definitely recommend and will definitely work with him again in the future.

Another great shoot with John. We had to take a detour to another location as the first was not a cessabke, not a problem. Brilliant plan B , really payed off and the images are fabulous. As always john is just the most fun to work with. Pays so much attention to detail and really works hard to get he best images from the shoot. Looking forward to the next one! :)

I cannot recommend John enough! It was like finding a kindred creative spirit. Pre-shoot comms were very good and when it came to the shoot itself he allowed plenty of scope for improvisation which I massively appreciate. A very welcoming atmosphere indeed - I was even fed which may possibly be a first. Can't wait to shoot again!

Had the opportunity to shoot with John recently, and what an experience it was. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Made me feel at ease and very accommodating. Time flew by and the whole experience was Ace.

Hoping to work with John in the future, as he's one of the most professional and nicest guys I've ever met.

As always a fantastic and creative shoot with John, shooting with my partner as a duo for the second time. John's attention to detail is wonderful, along with his enthusiasm for the craft and creative expression. Here's to many more john!

A very relaxed shoot with a great space to shoot. Very enthusiastic and an eye for detail. We collaborated on ideas and got great shots. Unfortunately time was against us so planning another shoot in January. Highly recommend

My first shoot with John and what a fantastic time I had! John was brilliant with Pre comm and moodboard planning. When the day came John very kindly gave me a lift from the station to his studio in his house which was brilliant!Everything was all set up and ready to go, I was very impressed :)

Very hospitable, friendly and brilliant fun!

John has a fantastic eye for detail and directed me at times. I still cannot believe he has only done photography since the pandemic.. Easily could of mistaken him to have done this for decades!

I would highly recommend John to any model and I'm looking forward to future projects with him 😊

I had a fantastic first shoot with John! He is extremely professional and respectful.

His pre shoot communications were second to none, ideas just flowed between us and I always felt relaxed and happy during the shoot. He also had a fantastic mua to assist in our shoot.

John has a wicked sense of humour..I would highly recommend him to any model out there, infact I would urge models who haven't worked with John as of yet to get in touch and add something spectacular to your portfolio! Attention to detail was exceptional to!

I'm looking forward to my next shoot with John!!

Your Brilliant! Thank you!!!

John is friendly, professional, respectful of my space and has a great eye for detail.

We initially met for coffee to discuss a colborative shoot and established rapport.

We kept in touch and discussed ideas.

I then attended Johns home studio. John was very welcoming, made myself and chaperone feel comfortable. Provided hot drinks and fruit which was very pleasant.

John had also sourced a great MUA.

Was a pleasure to work with and looking forward to our next shoot.

Absolutely fabulous shoot with John yet again. We done our first location shoot and what a day. John's just a fantastic guy to work with all round. I feel super confident and at ease working with him and ideas easily bounce back and forth. He's got a great eye for detail, as have I so we work well together there. Always looking back at the shots to see what we can do better, putting effort into getting the perfect ones. Brilliant and would advise any model to work with him. You won't be disappointed!!! So happy with the images, some of the best yet.

Third time shooting with John was an absolutely wonderful creative dream! He was very keen to facilitate ideas I brought to the shoot and was brilliantly enthusiastic to work with. As always he made me feel entirely comfortable and welcome in his space, gave me a private changing area and plenty of cups of coffee over the day. Was an absolutely fabulous shoot and really excited to work with him again!

Second time meeting John, the first was more of a chat and getting to know each other with a wee bit of shooting. John is full of energy and great ideas and knows how to create expressive art through his images. I think he's pretty unstoppable once he gets an idea in his head. He has everything needed for a top quality shoot inculding a very lovely home studio. Very accommodating and attentive. Highly recommended working with John to any model. Looking forward to out next shoot...

Where do I start!, there's so many amazing things to say about this shoot. I had a brilliant first shoot with John. I travelled up to Scotland and was anxious as I'd never travelled so far on my own but John made me feel so welcome and relaxed and nothing was too much trouble. John arranged a make up artist Taylor who was absolutely fantastic with me, everything was so well thought out and organised I couldn't have asked for better. John knew exactly what he wanted and wanted to achieve. The whole set up was just brilliant!. Hospitality was second to non and gave me a room o could change in. Communication was first class. John is one of the nicest people I have met and would highly recommend him to anyone you won't be disappointed. We took some great images and I can't wait to see what we have achieved. Thank you to John and Taylor for making this a wonderful shoot. Look forward to working with John again in the future. Thank you so much lulumay. Xxx

I had my first shoot with John a couple of days ago and it was absolutely fantastic. Communication pre shoot was excellent and John was very well organised and prepared. He provided a clear briefing and moodboard which made my work very easy. He also arranged a great MUA for our shoot.

He is a great host and a very friendly and easygoing person.

He is also very professional, talented and perfectionist and I just love the amazing images he delivered.

Very much looking forward to our next shoot already!

Had a wonderful shoot with John! Thank you so much for being so professional, considerate, and patient. I loved the results as well and can’t wait for next time.

I had a second fantastic shoot with John, just as before there was a lot of communication beforehand about the ideas he was wanting to create, and he devised a mood board so I could really see his vision. I was really excited to shoot with John again, as the day is never dull and he has a wonderful artistic flare that is present in his personality and work. John let me see our images as he was taking them, I always appreciate this as it helps guide me on how to achieve exactly what he is looking for. I would definitely recommend John to any model (beginner or pro) as he has a welcoming and fun attitude but is also very good at directing a shoot. This is hopefully the second of many more shoots to come, thanks again for such a fab day ~ until next time :)

I shot my first shoot with J'Art this last weekend and it was an absolutely fantastic day! Pre shoot he was very communicative, together we created a mood board and look and pulled some creative stunning shots together alongside the fabulous MUA Kuro!

He was brilliant at directing me with dynamic poses (as a life model new to photography this was of brilliant help!) and worked the set up to achieve the perfect shots we were all happy with.

J'Art's is an incredibly talented photographer, easy to get along with, made me feel totally at ease and Im so excited to work with him again! Highly recommend
