I had my third shoot with Jonathan on Saturday after applying to his casting.

I had originally planned to get the train but adverse weather occurred on the day and being only 30 mins away from me Jonathan kindly offered to come and pick me up.

We shot at his beautiful home, he has many props clothing lights and sets to use plus a beautiful comfortable room to get changed in.

We shot many sets and looks and goy some cracking images. It was lovely to work with Jonathan again and I hope we get to shoot again in the future.

I had a fantastic shoot with Jonathan, and I was very impressed with the quality of his works, and the variety of the shots we managed to get. Also he had a fantastic choice of wardrobe available in his place, which helped. The time flew very fast, and I felt comfortable there. Thank you again for a great shoot.

Had another lovely shoot with Jonathan, this time 1-2-1 at his lovely home studio near Chester. We shot for 4 hours and managed to get a variety of different looks, everything from glamorous fashion, lingerie to fashion nude, portraits and some art nudes towards the end. Once again it was a fun and productive shoot, Jonathan was welcoming, professional and chatty throughout the shoot, which made it a lovely experience.

Jonathan's home studio offers so many different areas for exploration and he got so many great shots, I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out!

Highly recommended and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Had an most awesome shoot with Jonathan yesterday. We worked together previously on two separate occasions as part of a club night several years ago so when I saw his casting I had to jump at the opportunity.

From the start pre coms were spot on, he picked me up from his local station and gave me a tour of his stunning home studio.

We went through several sets, were he supplied me with some really great outfits for the shoot and was equipped everything from great textured backdrops and even a flying

drone ( first one for me)

Absolutely loved working with Jonathan from start to finish and was super thrilled at the way the images looked at the back of the camera.

Definitely one of the most skilled photographers on here and would give him the highest possible recommendation.

Thanks again Jonathan 🙂

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jonathan for a half day at Basford Hurst Cottage recently. Pre-comms were quick and efficient, and on the day Jonathan arrived full of ideas and enthusiasm! We worked through a huge variety of sets but I never felt rushed; Jonathan was friendly, kind and professional throughout. We've already planned a shoot for April next year which I look forward to. Highly recommended!

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Jonathan came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Sinopa Rin during her two day studio event here at Basford Hurst Cottage.

Jonathan arrived on time with everything he needed for a great shoot. We had a chat over a cuppa and then be began working with Rin.

During his time here Jonathan was completely respectful of both Rin and our location and was happy to ask if he ever needed anything. Between himself and Rin they captured lots of wonderful images!! Jonathan is polite, friendly and easy to talk to and we would have no hesitation to reccomend him!! Thank you so much for coming to our location and we hope to see you soon!!

Jonathan replied to a last minute casting I put out and I am so pleased he did!! I have admired Jonathan's work from a far for a while so wasted no time confirming times and shoot ideas.

Jonathan's pre comms were great, he provided everything I needed to get to his home shoot location. When I arrived I was greeted with a big smile and a cup of tea! It was also a pleasure to be introduced to his wonderful wife Deborah who was incredibly welcoming and clearly a very talented and creative lady herself!!

During the shoot we worked through a number of sets including some fashion, some art nude in the natural light and finished off with a crazy quirky set with some weird and wonderful disco lighting (possibly my favourite images!!). Jonathan's home location is amazing, there are SO many options with loads of big windows and sets, Jonathan also has a MASSIVE array of props, outfits, backdrops, lighting set ups, added to that Jonathan's obviously talent and flair for capturing many lovely images.. You really cannot go wrong!!!

Jonathan was keen to show me the back of the camera and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and very much look forward to seeing the finished edits. I would highly reccomend working with Jonathan and can't want to see him and Deborah again soon!! Thank you so much for a great shoot!!!

This was my second shoot with Jonathan after shooting with him some years earlier and I was really looking forward to working with him again due to his talent and style and really easy going but professional work ethic!

You can see Jonathan’s talent for his craft evident on his portfolio and this shoot was no different, he captured some amazing images, and his direction for posing and help with styling and looks to suit the space is excellent.

Jonathan’s home and home studio are so lovely and you feel really welcome, comfortable and at ease before you even arrive. You’re offered refreshments throughout the shoot and are constantly made to feel at ease while shooting.

I would 100% recommend Jonathan to any model, you’ll have a lovely day and end with amazing images! Really looking forward to working together again soon.

Summers Abroad

After hosting Jonathan on multiple UK events we finally had the chance to host him abroad this year :D :D

Jonathan and his wife Deborah joined us in Italy for a full week, and it was just SO lovely having them both there. They have both became very good friends over the years, so we were super excited for them to be a part of the trip. As expected they fit in well in the group dynamic and got on with everybody else attending.

We shot both at the villa and at various outdoor locations we had pre scouted for the event, and from what I saw on the back of Jonathan's camera and laptop in the evenings he got some absolutely incredible images over the course of the week!

It was a total pleasure having them both on the event and truly look forward to (hopefully!) getting the chance to host them both abroad again in the future :D

My first time working with Jon, at the Pauls Studio Wales Weeekend - and WHAT A JOY. By the time of writing this, he already knows how much I loved the shoot as I keep obsessing over the edits 😂 But yes, it was a joy and we really worked our way through some fantastic sets, utilising some wonderful (less frequently shot) areas of the location we were at, and we also brought our wardrobes together to not only make some killer outfits but to also truly compliment the areas we were using per set. Really hope to work with Jonathon again, and hope to share our work soon :) Thanks Jon, here’s to the next one!

Nearly three years has passed since our last time working together… three years! Omg we more than made up for lost time today though clocking up around 15 sets shot! Lots of fashion, casual looks, lingerie and nude. A very good mixed bag today and each set awesome 🤩 I love working with Jonathan and today I was super lucky to get to work in his home studio and wow what a space, and wow what a wardrobe of clothes he has!

He’s not short of style that’s for sure, there’s something for everyone in his wardrobe! Aw always I’m impressed by his images and the lighting is always super! A lovely gentleman and I can’t wait til the next time… I’m sure it won’t be three years this time haha!

Always recommended by me!

Best wishes

I had a wonderful Sunday shoot with Jonathan, our second shoot together.

Jonathan kindly drove to my house to pick me up as my car is undergoing maintenance and dropped me home again afterwards which was very kind of him as I was going to catch the train.

We shot at Jonathan's gorgeous house, stunning with lots of rooms space and light. Jonathan has 2 rooms dedicated to studio space and he also utlises the rest of the house and lovely decor to shoot against so you are never short of options.

Jonathan is chatty and a really nice person with a lovely nature, he is easy going and great to work with allowing you to view the back of camera at any time.

Jonathan had great ideas, he had ordered new fashion pieces to shoot in as well as using what I had bought with me and some of his amazing accessories including full size angel wings 😀

We worked through lots of sets from studio fashion to natural light nudes and ended up with a really cool shower set.

The time flew by and the shoot was very enjoyable and satisfying. I can't wait to see which pictures he chooses as we had so many.

We have discussed a location shoot in the near future sharing locations we both know and I can't wait to work with Jonathan again.

Shot with the wonderful Jonathan last weekend. Jonathan was full of ideas and creative concepts. He had lots of things to shoot in, and has built a wonderful home studio. Jonathan is friendly yet professional and maintained a professional demeanour throughout. A pleasure to work with the time just flew by. Can’t wait to see the images and I look forward to arranging a second shoot in the not so distant future.

Kind regards

Had a wonderful 1st shoot with Jonathan at his beautiful home filled with so many amazing outfits and props to use. Jonathan was an absolute gent throughout and very professional from start to finish.

The time flew by so quickly but we managed to capture plenty of different shots in various backdrops. Jonathan has a very creative mind which showed through with what I saw on the back of the camera and throughout his home.

I would absolutely highly recommend working with Jonathan if you ever get the chance to and thank you Jonathan for a wonderful shoot and hope to work together again soon ❤️

Summers Abroad

Jonathan joined us for our Wild West event at the most incredible authentic Western town in Kent!

As usual he did the full weekend, so was also with us for the unthemed day at Burford Manor before the themed Wild West event started. Jonathan is almost part of the furniture on our UK events now haha - it always feels super odd when he isn't able to make it as we have got so used to having him there for almost every single one :)

Jonathan is an event organizers dream, he is so relaxed and friendly so gets on with models and photographers alike across the weekend, and he is also very respectful of the models and looks after them throughout his shoots with them. During the downtime in the evenings he gets involved in the social aspect of the weekenders and is great company!

Without a doubt recommend him to other event organizers, studio owners and models and look forward to hosting him in the future!

This was our first time shooting together at Johnathan's lovely home studio. Pre-comms were impeccable and everything was clear ahead of time.

We shot a huge selection of looks each completely different from the last, Johnathan left the styling to me and allowed me to go full swing into a range of diverse looks and even gave way for some looks in his huge wardrobe selection!

A great day shooting!

Highly Recommended! :)

Another fabulous weekend hosting Jonathan, this time on our most recent event Mutiny.

As always Jonathan got on with all the models and the photographer we had paired him with the weekend. He also brought along his usual bundle of fabulous clothing for the unthemed event and was kind enough to let others use them too.

We always look forward to hosting Jonathan as he is such a genuine, kind soul and great company. He’s become a very good friend and part of our little creative family, that an event would honestly not be the same without him!

Highly, highly recommended by us and can’t wait to catch up in September on our next one :)

Had a very nice chilled second shoot with Jonathan! :)

We did some location work, which was a nice change, and got some lovely images, which I’m super excited to see.

Always recommended to other models, thanks again!
