I was so excited when I was given the chance to work with Jason, Lorna and Lorraine again! It had been 3 years (3 whole years!!!) I could not believe it, it really did feel far less!
I always feel like I going home when I go back to Wales and shooting with this lovely team is like shooting with old friends, it was a real treat.
We used a lovely village Hall for this shoot which was perfect- so spacious and well equipped. Jason, Lorna and Lorraine had prepared wonderful makeup, styling and designs for me to wear on the shoot and I had SO much fun immersing myself in the different fantasy characters they had invented for the shoot! It was so enjoyable and I loved acting! The styling and makeup was absolutely spot on and with Lornas amazing direction and the resulting images looked absolutely STUNNING!
I was so excited to see the photographic results recently and the team were super kind for me to have a copy. Thank you so much for lunch also, it was absolutely delicious, so thoughtful and kind.
I cannot recommend this lovely team highly enough... they are sensational.
Highly recommended to all and I really hope to work together again soon! Helen x

Where to begin? It was both a pleasure and a privilege to work with Jay and Lorna this fabulous husband and wife team .
Pre-communication was excellent , not only did they come up with with some brilliant concepts but went to the extra trouble of purchased additional wardrobe and prearranging locations.
They have a wonderful sense of creative vision and apply a professional approach working really hard to achieve something truly special as there portfolio already clearly demonstrates, they are making images that show a very high level of photographic skill and and thoughtful artistic content.
From the very start I was made to felt totally at ease and welcome, there was an instant repport making the day light hearted and humorous while fulfilling the aims of the day.
If you are lucky enough to have the have the chance of working with them you will not be disappointed , I really can not recommend them highly enough and personally really look forward to the next time we shoot together.
Brilliant day, thanks

I love what each of them bring to the table... individually they are all genius and together they are the ultimate dream team!!..
They are very hardworking and know exactly what they want to achieve and the time and dedication put into each idea is astounding yet each images is actually put together pretty quickly
We created so many super images
Certainly they are great credit to the industry and it was a pleasure to have had the chance to work with them..
Highly recommended of course!!..

I worked with the sensational Banbury team again recently (Lorna, Jay and their amazing in house bodypainter/artist Lorraine!)- and as always, had SUCH an amazing time! They really are the DREAM TEAM, I just love going back to Wales each year to shoot with them, I genuinely look forward to every shoot!!
If every shoot was as creative, fun and enjoyable as the Banbury team make photography, I would honestly be on cloud 9 every day of the week!
As always with my mad/comical (!) life, my poor old car decided to die en-route (2 miles from the Banbury studio!) The cam belt snapped and it was a "mechanical write off" (Jay and Lorna kindly rescued me from the petrol station where my car had very kindly decided not to restart!)
I was gutted as I loved that blooming car (!) but they really looked after me, cheered me up and made me feel very welcome (and destressed me with copious amounts of tea!) After a couple of hours I soon forgot my troubles!
They had also booked a lovely B&B for me to stay in for the evening (which I had stayed at many times before- and love!) Their little community that day when I broke down were so kind and caring and really took a weight off of my shoulders. At the end of the second day with the team, I then got towed home by the good old RAC! The Welshies are the best, I absolutely love them!
Thankyou for such a lovely couple of days- next time I will greet you in my new car! I can't wait to see the results, I know they will be beautiful!
If you get the chance to work with this amazing team, take it!!!! Really hope to see you all again soon, Helen x

I worked with the AMAZING Banbury team (Lorna, Jay and their amazing bodypainter/artist Lorraine!) for the fourth time the other day, working over a couple of days and had an absolute BLAST! The couple of days flew by- time flys with this team, as it is so enjoyable and magical, you just want to hold onto every moment. Every single shoot with this team lifts my spirits and reminds me of why I love modelling so much.
Modelling over the years I have worked with many teams and the Banbury team are easily within my top 10- It doesnt feel like work- my creativity is always appreciated and I feel I can be completely myself in personality and modelling. I also always feel appreciated, welcome and taken care of. I am so proud to have been in 3 of the Banburys photographs (out of 5) which were chosen for the "Gold Award International Master Photographer of the year 2015/16", it feels a huge honour to have been involved and I absolutely loved the results, with photographs which were kindly shared with me and which I will always treasure.
The Banburys amazing bodypainter "Lorraine" on Purpleport is the most amazing asset to their team also- and the amazing artist behind most (or all) of their designs, who really is like golddust- and an amazing person along with it.
This team are experts in their field, you won't regret working with them and they will make a huge impact on your portfolio and your creative spirit! This reference is left with the highest recommendation- and thankyou so much for your hard work and support! Until the next time and so looking forward to seeing the results later on in the year- they were sensational! Helen x

Wow wow and wow! Had the absolute pleasure of working with the amazing Banbury team. Pre communications was faultless, the entire team was welcoming, friendly, fun to be around and extremely passionate about their work, which I loved.
Before the shoot took place, I was aware of what was going to happen on the days that we was shooting, a detailed plan was sent to me, I knew the looks we was trying to achieve, what to bring, travel arrangements, where I was staying and the food provided. Also got a glimpse at the location! The shoot was highly organised and everyone was prepared.
Lorna made sure everything ran smoothly, was so kind and considerate and made sure I was comfortable throughout the duration I was there. Lorraine the MUA was just amazing and her work is mind blowin. Jay the photographer knew exactly what results he wanted to achieve and has a very creative eye. His post processing skills are also very special and has a great talent. Lorna assisted Jay with the photography too and is very imaginative when it comes to poses and the general direction of the shoot.
I had so much fun on this shoot and loved every minute of working with this dream team. Thank you so much for looking after me. The results I have seen are just perfect. I really do hope we are able to work together again in the future. I can not recommend enough! Anna x

After only a short while away from the amazing Banbury team I was very lucky to be invited back for another day (and a bits) work with the sublime team once more! I was over the moon to be invited back again to work together with one of my favourite team of people- photographer Jay, his amazing wife, assistant, creative extraordinaire and mummy of the group Lorna and amazing bodypainter and artist Lorraine.
We all whizzed through a range of sublime creations which had taken the team so much effort, thought and planning to put together, which were executed beautifully. The day and a bit flew by and before I knew it, Ihad to go home again :( BUT I did keep my bodypaint on from my last shoot with the team, which as you can imagine, driving from Wales to Bristol was hilarious in broad daylight! I had the MOST entertaining drive of my life, with people doing double takes (I looked like a green goblin driving behind the wheel of my car!) and had passengers of other vehicles even videoing me driving, it was hilarious!
If you want a memorable shoot to cherish for many years in future, no matter what age you are, then these people are really the dream team to work with. Not only that, but they are extremely kind, considerate and professional, whilst being very down to earth and approachable.
They were also so kind to share the images with me afterwards which I may use for my portoflio also (which are beyond stunning!) Jay is a fantastic photographer and the edit and turn around time from the time you shoot to when the team post the photographs afterwards is just perfect.
I hope we work together lots in the future, thankyou for such a lovely, fun, inspiring, creative shoot and experience working with you all. I truly wish every shoot was as lovely as yours.x

Wow! I've just got home from my little trip to shoot with Banbury Photography and I am over the moon! The team are just incredible! Lorna is so welcoming and friendly she made me feel at home right away and has a natural eye for style, and Jay's photography and post processing is just unbelievable, all in all the dream team! I have had a truly wonderful time and the images speak for themselves, it was the perfect shoot for me and I could not have hoped for better results! I can't think of any more superlatives to describe these guys but trust me, they are fantastic! Thank you so much and can't wait to work with you again! Coco xx

I worked with the AMAZING Banbury team consisting of Jay, his fantastic wife Lorna and their amazing in-house MUA Lorraine.
I have the most amazing memorable couple of days that flew by like a dream- full of the most fantastic, original inspiring ideas, designs, and creativity. It was an honour to work on a project that had taken the team months to plan.
We had worked together a year prior and all really clicked, this shoot was just like a few days had passed in between and we picked upexactly where we left off, except I think we had EVEN more fun this time around if that is possible, especialley having met before ;:
Jay is a fantastic photographer, he just "gets it"- if something doesn't quite right or needs adjusting, he sees it and does such beautiful processing also. His wife Lorna is amazing at styling and working behind the scenes- a very creative spirit who is also so kind and hospitable. Lorna really looks after the model and makes sure they are warm, with plenty of tea and sugar fixes on tap if needed!
Lorraine, the couples in house MUA is Gold. She is so talented and makes the most amazng designs, that will blow your mind! What is very endearing is that I really don't think she knows how good she is!
Lorna and Jay also kindly checked me into a beautiful B&B for a couple of days whilst I was in the area shooting with them- It was SO lovely I stayed there another night and plan to again on future trips!
Together they are very much the "A team"- professiional, super creative, organised and really deserve the many awards they have won together as a team! If you get the chance to work together grab it!!!
You won't be disoppointed- Also check out their amazing website and awards here; http://www.jasonbanbury.com/
Super highly recomended- it will be dificult to top such a fantastic shoot! An amazing start to the year and I hope we work together lots!

I had a shoot with Jay, Lorna and body painter Lorraine today and what a fantastic day! Defiantly one of my favourite shoots yet!
They were all wonderful to work with, Lorna was brilliant at directing and the images Jay took that I got a sneak peak at were awesome! I can't wait to see the final edits!
I felt so comfortable with all of them and the level of professionalism was high but they made the whole shoot great fun and there was always smiles in the room, I hope to work with them again and would highly recommend all of them.
Thank you all so much and I will hopefully see you again soon :)

I've had a body paint shoot planned now for some time with Lorraine Taylor and she went ahead and organised the shoot with Banbury Photography and what can I say what a wonderful oppertunity I had to model with such a fantastic team! From being painted head to toe in body paint by Lorraine Taylor and covered in glue and beads to all match up with Lorraines handmade head piece to actually modelling Lorraines art and shooting with Banbury Photographey - Lorna and Jason who is not only a fantastic professional hard working couple but also a down to earth, lovely genuine couple. They was both so welcoming! Hard working! Offered tea and coffee and even a food run during our lengthy paint. We all had such a fun filled session and I enjoyed every minute of this shoot and I would love nothing more to work along side Jason and Lorna again and I can not recommend them both highly enough, a fantastic team and Jason has done wonders to the final results. It's no wonder he as a Master Photographer award he is truly fantastic at what he does and also has a lovely well equipt studio. Highly highly recommended! Thankyou both so much! X

I worked with Jay and his lovely wife Lorna (and makeup artist Lorraine) yesterday.
They are not only a fantastic team of creatives; they are multi-talented with lighting, styling, wardrobe, designing, makeup artistry and body paint and a complete pleasure to be around!
As soon as I got through the door I felt like I had known them for far longer. They are truly lovely people you would love to spend a few days with- full of ideas; unique, creative and inspirational to shoot with
They were professional, look after you extremely well and very kind and considerate. The photographs are stunning and its well worth the trip to Wales to work with them if you have the chance, I would absolutely love to work together again!
Speak soon, Helen x
