This was my 2nd shoot with Jason, he is so friendly and welcoming and as soon as I got there he offered me a cuppa. Before we started we were chatting about the different themes and ideas for the shoot ahead from the different outfits that I had brought with me. We played around with the smoke machine and gels (love the effect that they have). It was such a fun shoot and had loads of laugh along the way with the smoke machine and also Christmas tinsel and baubles. Jason was really easy going and gave a few tips and we tried different poses and different styles this time. He also showed me some of the photos as we were going through and I can say that I was not disappointed they were amazing. We managed to capture some awesome photos and when looking through them at the end I was so over the moon with the different photos and poses that we had tried out. Can't wait to see the final edits. We are even talking about doing another shoot so honestly can't wait to work with him again. Definitely highly recommend Jason xx

After a long time (because I took a break) of communicating with Jason on Instagram we arranged a shoot. I was feeling a bit nervous when I arrived at the studio and I told Jason this. We had a cuppa and chat just in general and about the different styles that we were going to shoot. He made sure that I felt comfortable and happy throughout the shoot. Soon as we started talking the nerves just floated away and felt at ease throughout the shoot. We tried different styles (smoke machine with gel) that I had never used before and there was a lot of laughs throughout, Jason gave me some tips on different poses and we just went with the flow. Honestly couldn't believe how the time just flew by during our shoot and we got some smashing amazing photos, that I am so proud of. We have even spoken about doing another shoot and planning one. I can't wait to work with Jason again. Highly recommend Jason xx

I saw Jason's photography work online and became a massive fan of his work. I managed to get in touch and organise a time to come down to Somerset and meet him for a photoshoot.

Immediately on the day when I met Jason, we hit it off. Jason is a fantastic guy, friendly, chatty and easy to get on with. I had such a brilliant time with Jason. We talked loads and he even shared his work process on how he edits his photos, which was a real eye opener and I learnt so much from the man.

It was so enjoyable working with Jason, we had a lot of common interests and I could have just hung out with the man all day.

Jason has his own big studio, with lots of rigged lights and even a smoke machine, it was so much fun using the smoke machine which I've never done before.

We even experimented with action photography, which required a lot of movement, again it was something new to me but it was refreshing being outside my comfort zone and trying new things. Jason really helped me expand my modelling skills and made it easy to work in this new environment and the final edited results look stunning!

It's been a pleasure and privilege to get the chance to work with Jason. We have also planned for an outdoor shoot together following this.

Jason is always a phenomenal photographer, I worked with him again after my hiatus and it's definitely given me motivation! One of the things I enjoy about working with Jason is that he's supportive and patient with me. In turn, we decided to practice a new style of photography for him and he did amazing being able to adjust his set up at his home studio to work with the ideas, high key, light portraiture making use of a tighter space to work with and he definitely did amazing with it, beautiful work. I have plenty of other ideas I'd love to work with Jason on and they will show in due time!

I think I might cry as I write this reference. Initially, I was invited along to a romantic course themed shoot with my partner. He came to the location promptly and came well equipped with everything he envisioned for the shoot, he got some gorgeous photos and was great with direction! He also scouted the location for us too!

But plot twist, it was a cover up for Joseph proposing to me! I must give Jason kudos for his conniving means, as the notion just flew over my head! Having one of my closest friends participate in such a cause is an absolute honour and I couldn't have been more grateful for him capturing such a moment for us!

I really appreciate the effort you put into the shoot, thank you so much ❤

I’ve lost count of how many times Jason and I have worked together now! I always love working with him.

This time Jason hired Sowton Studio for a few hours so we covered both lingerie/boudoir and alternative fashion levels. We were joined by Chloe to photograph along side him.

As always Jason met me on time, fully prepared for the day. I’ve mentioned before, but I do appreciate Jason’s organisation skills. We planned a head on the levels we were going to shoot, the shoot ran smoothly.

Jason is one of my favourite photographers to work with. He’s professional, approachable and respectful, open minded and hard working. Recommended!

Thanks so much Jason!

I shot with Jason at his home studio again and it was wonderful.

We planned a Halloween, alternative fashion shoot and got some amazing images from it!

Jason is one of my favourites to work with, he’s always full of ideas and suggestions, he’s easy to talk to and he’s professional, while also remaining friendly!

Definitely recommend and I look forward to future shoots! 😁

Me and Jason got the chance to shoot again! He allowed me to come along to his shoot with Jade at Dave's studio! I definitely learned so much more with this experience, Jason is very good at explaining and has been such a wonderful mentor to me, he makes every experience so enjoyable!

I look forward to many adventures and experiences we have together!

Jason met me in Exeter and he drove me to Torquay to shoot, doing fashion work with Slam Petal (model), while she visited Devon.

We started planning the shoot about a month ago and after a few discussions of dates and locations, I’m so glad we ended up going with what we ended up with. It was a fun shoot! Jason communicated with me every time there was a possible change and I really appreciate his organisation skills.

The weather was lovely and a really chill and relaxing shoot. I really enjoying working with Jason, we’ve shot together a fair few times now and every time I’ve walked away really happy with what we’ve created.

I recommend Jason to anyone.

Slam Petal

Jason is a welcoming photographer who’s easy to work with and get great results from. Second time shooting with him, I appreciate that he travelled all the way to Torquay for this shoot when I was unable to come to Exeter. He gave us some great ideas to capture but also listened to me and Jade’s ideas and made them come to life. We did quite a bit of walking around and it was a hot day but he didn’t complain once and did the best job, highly recommended photographer

Had an amazing shoot with Jason :D

Great communication throughout, originally was going to be a beach shoot but due to bad weather we decided to do studio shoot & I’m so glad we did.

Absolutely loved Jason’s home studio, perfect lighting! He was so friendly and welcoming, Introduced me to some awesome bands too :D 🤘🏻

We got so many amazing photos and I can’t wait to do another shoot with him! Thanks again Jason :)

Highly recommend.

Another shoot??? With Jason?? Oh dear!

Seriously though, it was fricking epic. Honestly I could go on and on, but I will spare you the trouble and just shortly add to his repertoire!

I'm so glad to meet a fellow creative like him, we really are like two peas in a pod!

Okay tbh this reference is the MOST important in my opinion as this is based off my first studio shoot. Me and Jason both had turns on the camera and he was really helpful with helping me set up, telling me about the equipment and allowing me to take photos of him too!

He is such am amazing teacher, and he knows what he's doing which makes the experience that more fun! Although that is my first official studio shoot, Jason had made sure that I was comfortable working in all the roles I was there for, and was able to calm my nerves, as well as share excitement for me when I showed him what I had captured on the camera I was using!

The studio is also starting to take shape and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for it all!! And being a regular part of its journey!

I worked with Jason and another model/photographer Chloe Valentine in Jason’s home studio and it was amazing!

Jason picked me up and drove me to the location, as always, which I really appreciated. He was very welcoming, friendly and professional. He always is, we’ve shot together a few times now and I’ve enjoyed every single shoot.

His studio set up is PERFECT. We have so many shoot plans now and I really glad and appreciative that I got given creative freedom with my appearance (outfits, hair and make up).

Definitely recommend! Thanks Jason. 🤘🏻

This was my 2nd shoot with Jason after a highly successful first one a few days before. I'd been wanting to work with Jason for sometime and was aware of his skills and image quality from modelling circles.

We shot for 6 hours straight, myself Jason and my wife Helen. Jason was very creative, very professional and bent over backwards to get a series of highly quality shots. Jason gives each shoot his all and doesn't just take lots of random photos instead aiming for perfection with every shot. The end result a series of extremely high quality images.

I can't wait for shoot number 3!

I had my fourth shoot with Jason at Seafield House again, doing another group shoot. I always enjoy working with Jason, he's great fun, professional and has an incredibly creative eye. We work together so well and he never fails to make me laugh. He's good at making people feel comfortable and is so laid back it makes the shoot easy and fun.

I hope to work with Jason again in the near future and hopefully we'll continue to work together on a regular basis.

Highly recommended.

This was my first ever shoot with Jason and I was not disappointed! Jason's communication was fantastic before and after the shoot which made life very straightforward for all involved.

Jason is a fantastic director and a true perfectionist when it comes to taking photographs. He lines up each shot to perfection and goes strictly for quality not quantity making image selection very easy. Jason also got the best out of my wife and co-model Kitty on the day. It was a long day but an extremely rewarding and productive one.

In a nutshell work with Jason!
