I shot with Barbara and Malcolm for the second time during another visit to Cornwall. Once again we shot in their home studio which had just finished a refurbishment. It is even nicer now, with its own facilities and lots of space and equipment. As before we arranged everything with no trouble at all, Barbara's comms are excellent. Sadly the weather was terrible so the location shoot part had to be shelved but we covered a wide range of styles from portrait to art nude inside instead. I would be glad to shoot with Barbara and Malcolm (and Wendy!) again any time and recommend them to other models. Thank you all!

I got to work with Barbara and Malcolm again on my 17 day tour! It had been almost a couple of years or so since our last shoot so it was good to catch up.

They booked the second two hours of my studio day at Studio Hire Plymouth and had very specific ideas to work through. I'm no ballet dancer but I tried my best and the results look lovely.

Thank you so much to you both. Hope to see you again next time I am local.

I had a fabulous shoot with Barbara, Malcolm and Wendy. We covered dance style in particular ballet and the day ran very smoothly and quickly as it was very enjoyable. All three are friendly and very creative, coming up with their own twists and styles. Pre-communication was great and I hope to work with them again in future, highly recommend.

I had a wonderful shoot with Barbara and Malcolm, along with their friend Wendy. The shoot went really well and was so productive with the amount of hats, scarves, voile and boa they had in their studio. There was definately creative flare coming from Barbara and Malcolm and they communicated well on what they wanted during the shoot. The details they were after were high standard, from little strands of hair, the shine on my face and the way the hat was facing and not obstructing from the eyes. I highly recommend them both.

Thank you for the shoot, it was a pleasure to work with you three and the images look fantastic.

Had a terrific shoot with Barbara and Malcolm yesterday, at the great Hallam Mill Studio in Stockport, which is an excellent venue for dance/ballet shoots. Pre-shoot communications were very good, clear and concise. During the shoot, Malcolm and Barbara were very kind and friendly, and again very clear in their directions. We were able to try a great variety of different sets, ranging from art nude ) to classical ballet. Both Malcolm and Barbara are very creative and talented, and we achieved some great original images. I look forward to seeing the final results, and would highly recommend working with Barbara and Malcolm. Hope we will work together again.:)

Highly Recommended. :)

I had the pleasure of working with Barbara and Malcolm, plus their lovely friend Wendy on Monday, while I was in the Devon/Cornwall area. I think this is our 4th time working together.

Barbara and Malcolm are two of the nicest people you could hope to meet, friendly kind and great company. They made me feel welcome into their home and were great host while I stayed with them for a couple of days.

Barbara has the most beautiful accessories you can think of, gorgeous hats.scarves, materials which are used in the most creative way. They make beautiful images whether it be portraits or figure nudes which they put a lot of hard work into and the results are lovely.

Knowing exactly what they want to achieve Barbara and Malcolm make my job a whole lot easier.

I would highly recommend Barbara and Malcolm to any models out there :)

Thanks again

I had another great shoot with Barbara, Malcolm and Wendy at the Pit Studio.

As before the shoot was well run and organised, everyone came with lots of lovely props for me to model with.

Great, fun, creative shoot, focusing on art nude. We did such a variety and I'm looking forward to seeing the shots. The shoot time flew by and we all worked well together to create good images.

Thanks for a great shoot!

My second shoot with Barbara and Husband Malcolm and this time their friend Wendy at Hallam Mill studio, Stockport. They had booked me for the full day, as previous and also let me know in advance their ideas for the day and what to bring.

They are all very pleasant, friendly people with a passion for creating wonderful images, often using props and accessories to add a theme/mood to the images and often they send them into salons for judging around the world.

We had a lovely day, we worked through a great variety of setups/styles and the images produced were truly beautiful.

I would recommend all of them to any other models :)

Kindest regards and thank you

I shot for a second time with the Jenkins' and another photographer friend (jaw) - this time they had booked a nice village hall and the plan was art nude with ballet themes - this was discussed in pre-comms so I knew exactly what to pack and bring down to Cornwall with me. From the start of the shoot Barbara was very careful to ensure she knew how much work en pointe I could do safely and without too much discomfort, which was very much appreciated :) Also appreciated, the endless stream of coffee! Once again all three photographers directed well, were very respectful and worked hard waving fabric around to create some cool effects in-camera. They were very organised with a timer to ensure time didn't run over. I am very happy to recommend Barbara and Malcolm to other models, and would gladly shoot with them again if (when!) I return to Cornwall or if they venture up my way in future.

I shot today with Barbara, her husband and their friend JAW today. We did a half day, 2 hours on portraits and 2 hours on art nude body shapes/contortion-y poses. They were lovely to work with, pre-shoot communications were spot on and we had a great shoot! Coffee was provided (yay!) and the 3 photographers were super organised and took turns shooting (they even had a timer set up!) - and that meant 2 sets of hands free to hold chiffon up in the background! Everyone worked very hard and some brill images already being put up! Part 2 of the shoot is tomorrow :) I recommend them to other models, they are great.

I had a lovely shoot with the Jenkins. They are easy to work with, very considerate to the models and have a very impressive selection of outfits and props. I can highly recommend them.

I shot with Barbara, her husband and friend a few months ago on my Devon tour.

Great precomms, the shoot was arranged within a few emails. I shot with everyone for a day's shoot, and for a group shoot it was by far the most well organised one I've ever had!

They were all wonderful to work with, all so friendly and professional, easy going, all took lovely photos and had great ideas.

It was a well organised, very productive day, with plenty of great photos taken, and enough breaks and tea to keep me going :).

Highly recommended!

Thanks,

Kayla

Barbara and her friend were both professional and joy to work with. Abundant with rich ideas and directions they truly brought the best of my abilities and created some brilliant photos as a result of it. Would never hesitate to work with them again.

Another great shoot with Barbara and Malcolm and this time with their lovely friend Wendy.

Barbara kindly put me up for the night at her lovely home in Cornwall while I was on tour down in the area.

Fantastic shoot, well organised, very creative and lots of fun.

Barbara and Malcolm are kind hearted people who have a great passion for their photography and I always enjoy shooting with them.

Thanks again

Highly recommended.

I shot with Barbara, Malcolm and Wendy a couple of days ago at my place. They booked me for the whole day so we had plenty of time to work on all their ideas without rushing.

The shoot went well, everyone had thought about their ideas and I had plenty of props to play with for the day. Barbara had also bought along her lovely selection of fabrics and scarves for me to pose with.

Everything went well and it was an enjoyable day- sadly the weather wasn't on our side but we managed to fit some outdoors shots in while the rain stopped!

I hope to work with Barbara again one day :) Thank you!

Barbara and Malcolm are lovely people to work with on a shoot. They both know what they want and it is very easy to work with them both.

They are lovely people who have a great passion for their photography and create beautiful images each time.

Barbara bought some lovely props along for me to wear and the images I have seen so far are lovely.

I will hopefully work with them again in the summer and I would be happy to recommend Barbara and Malcolm to other models out there.

I have worked with Barbara and her wonderful husband Malcolm on several occasions now. They are the most warm hearted couple I have been opportuned to come to know and such great fun to work with. Each time I work with them I am always inspired by their passion in photography and the beauty in their art. I always feel at home with them and treated like family and I look forward to seeing them again.

My third shoot with Barbara and Malcolm. I must say it is always a great pleasure working with them, playing with different ideas with props and wardrobe to go with it. They are ever so lovely, very welcoming and you are certainly sure to have a good time working with them. Can't recommend them enough.

Thank you so much Barbara/Malcolm

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Barbara at an RPS workshop where we explored a variety of poses and concepts.

Barbara has a clear idea of what she wants and gives fantastic direction to achieve the image in her mind. She's a real joy to shoot with and I would absolutely recommend her without hesitation. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together again!
