Had a lovely shoot with Jay yesterday. An absolute pleasure to work with, excellent pre shoot comms and was very organised with regards to looks/outfit changes! Needs very little direction and brings many ideas of his own to the table. Highly recommended, looking forward to the next shoot!

Had a fantastic shoot with Jay yesterday with Mina Carter Photography. We had been in touch for a while about arranging a shoot and I couldn’t wait to work with him and Mina on the ideas we had come up with. His pre comms were awesome, he arrived on time and we chatted throughout. He came fully prepared for the shoot with clothes and props galore. During the shoot we worked well together as a duo. He was very respectful and asked if I was ok with certain hand placements. I really enjoyed working with him and I hope to work with him again soon. Highly recommend! Thanks Jay!

What a top fella, definitely recommended! Jay totally got into character within a nanosecond for our themed shoot, and worked hard all day long whilst still being a great laugh. Book Jay for your shoots right now, you won't regret it!

Me and Jay have been planning various shoots together and this one was the first of them. Pre shoot communication with Jay was absolutely brilliant. He was 100% dedicated to this shoot from day one and managed to get the look spot on by getting all the right bits and pieces for it. This was my first couple shoot with a male model who is not my partner and admittedly I was a bit nervous. But Jay is so upbeat and friendly that my nervousness vanished within minutes of starting to work with him. He kindly drove all the way to Southampton to pick me up and took me to the place we were doing the shoot at. He is professional, intelligent, creative and he has a great sense of humour. He is very good at coming up with different poses and directing the shoot as well as being open to suggestions. Jay takes his modelling very seriously yet he manages to turn the day into a fun filled day. Despite being able to pull off villainous looks he is a true gentleman in person and his versatility shows as he jumps from one character to another effortlessly. I definitely recommend Jay and I know for a fact we will be working together soon in near future.

Had a brilliant first shoot with Jay last Saturday. Pre-shoot coms were very good and the day was great. He is a seasoned model who is more than happy to self-pose and his experience really shone through. I have loads of shots that I think are very good which I will be posting soon. I very much look forward to shooting with him again in the near future.

Had the great chance to shoot jay but due to me being an idiot I double booked him and had to cancel but he gave me great communication leading up to the point that I cancelled, will definitely be booking him in the future.

Jay and I had another great 'marathon' session to create images that were requested by various magazine platforms.

We found some last minute availability in our calendars and with great planning (and sourcing of new fashion items) we again produced stunning images.

It is always a pleasure working with Jay and with the bond and friendship that has been shaped between us, there is nothing we couldn't accomplish.

A true professional, willing to go the extra mile to achieve the common goal of success.

Had a quick studio shoot with Jay today, shoot went very well and got all the shots I wanted. My first time working with a Male model and Jay made it easy. Pre shoot communications were spot on, and he actually turned up with more props than I asked for! Look forward to shooting with him again soon.

First shoot with Jay. First actual shoot with a male model. Jay initial communications was on the button. Gave Jay an idea on what I had to offer and Jay arrived prepared for a number of different scenarios.

Jay clearly knows his stuff and is an extremely likable chap. Able to discuss about modelling and has an insight into the photographic side as well. Helped develop the shoot by introducing and improvising. Attempted a difficult illusion type shoot that worked.

Keeps himself in shape and also can talk about a number subject and is clearly an intelligent person that is contrary to the impression from his rugged looks. Thoroughly enjoyable session and would recommend Jay to any photographer that is starting out or those wanting to develop their skills.

Will certainly be working with Jay at some point. Thank you.

I had a great shoot with Jay this week, and I would highly recommend working with him! A very professional and well prepared model that was happy to take direction and direct himself. We shot on a very cold day but Jay was very happy to battle through the elements in order to get the shots.

Pre shoot communication and preparation was outstanding, allowing the shoot to roll smoothly on the day.

Thanks for the shoot Jay!

It was a real pleasure to do the photoshoot with Jay.

He came with an impressive array of props for the shoot, was enthusiastic, friendly and the shoot was a lot of fun.

Would very much recommend him

Phillip Palmer

Communication with Jay was spot on and I can certainly echo what Markusbrehmphotography stated in a previous reference. We exchanged detailed information in our messages which meant the shoot went perfectly as I had envisioned.

We didn't set a precise time for our shoot to start but Jay had no problem traveling a fair distance and he made the effort to keep me up to date a couple of times during his journey on when he expected to arrive, which was greatly appreciated and proves to me his diligent attitude.

He brought along a fantastic selection of clothing that he knew would suit the themes we had discussed and posed confidently and without complaint even though the temperature was pretty cold during the location segment of our shoot.

For experienced photographers Jay is well organised, reliable and is happy to follow direction to achieve the look you're after. If you're a more novice photographer Jay brings a wealth of experience and confidence to the table and he will work hard with you to get great images for your portfolio. I have no hesitation in recommending him and should the opportunity arise I would happily work with him again.

I had the privilege of working with Jay yesterday and I don't even know where to begin in this reference.

Our pre-shoot communication was the best I have ever experienced. We agreed from the beginning on the story we wanted to tell. Ideas bounced back and forth and the excitement and enthusiasm in the build-up was second to none.

Jay arrived well on time, the most prepared model I have ever known (ironed shirts, well thought out accessories and a fantastic variety of outfit changes and props).

The shoot was a fantastic experience ....a fun marathon of creating some of the best images and photographic art. He was fantastic on and off the set, great and natural poses, expert advise on the story we were telling, full of enthusiasm and a friendship made in the process!

I can't recommend Jay highly enough to any photographer wanting to work with Jay.

Simply brilliant and I look forward to our next shoot together.
