Jim organised two photo-sessions for me. I can gladly recommend him to every model.

Hopefully we can repeat it again in the future. All the best. Denisa | www.denisastrakova.com

I agreed to shoot with Jim at Montrose studio the other week at quite short notice and I’m so glad I did! The shoot was a great success and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jim - he is very down to earth with a laidback style of shooting which enabled me to express my creativity during the shoot and create some really fabulous shots. I was kindly picked up and dropped off at Stockport station which was very much appreciated since I didn’t know the area. I would highly recommend Jim to any model looking to work with him.

I look forward to hopefully working together again soon. Thank you 😊

I am very happy with my shoot with Jim, it was such an amazing experience to shoot and work with Jim in his studio.

It was clear from excellent pre-communication that Jim is a highly professional photographer and a studio owner who is very well-organised, very creative and dedicated to his art.

Jim was very fast to respond and treated me really well. It’s very easy to work with Jim due to his professionalism and eagerness to get the best results. Jim has a fabulous studio with loads of props available which I felt very comfortable shooting at.

Many thanks Jim and I am looking forward to working with you again

Highly recommended,100%

I’ve met Jim previously at wortley forge but we unfortunately didn’t get to shoot until now. We got some great images at the stunning Basford. Jim is so friendly and great to work with. Highly recommended by me. Hope to catch up soon

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Jim attended a group shoot event organised by Alan F, with models Miss Red and Charlie. It was a pleasure to meet Jim and welcome him to Basford for the first time, he arrived on time and ready for a fantastic days shooting.

During his time here Jim worked well alongside his fellow creatives to create many wonderful images. He was completely respectful of our location and made sure to ask if he ever needed anything.

We would of course be very happy to reccomend Jim, he is polite, friendly and easy to have around. Thank you so much for coming to Basford and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!!

Happy New Year, Jim!

We finally met again. We have shot few times before, and without a hesitation I agreed on the group shoot at the Tank Space.

Jim was very kind to offer the team a lift, at all times we were in safe hands.

The trip was long hence the importance of communication is absolute nessesity.

Jim has amazing taste in music, a wicked sense of humor - and by the time we were at the studio - I felt 100% confident about the shoot - although I have never posed underwater.

I highly appreciate the trust Alan and Jim put in me and us with Claire for this shoot. And even more thankful for so successful images.

Jim is an amazing person to talk to, and easy to work with and I am absolutely chuffed about the images achieved. Without a doubt -this was probably my very favorite shoot this year. Thank you for bringing the joy of the pose and inspiration back to my portfolio.

If the above was not clear enough - highest recommendation possible.

Thank you so much indeed.

I'm here again providing Jim, this all round quality individual a great reference.

Great communication, supported two further attendees to and from the event.

Kept his head when Manchester's traffic wanted it!

Superb individual making models feel comfy and getting their wanted image.

Knows his technical onions too and is willing to share this knowledge in a group setting with other photographers.

If you haven't shot with this photographer or used his Old Swan Studio = don't delay get them booked today.

Worked with this complete gentleman at an event. First time shooting with him and it was a pleasure. Very knowledgeable photographer and we got some great shots. Highly recommended such a friendly person to work with

Roxy Basham

First time I met Jim he's a very calm collected intelligent man we got on straight away felt comfortable around him to be myself on camera without pressure, love the bath shot he captured my best one out if his collection I reserved.

Definitely recommend and would shoot again

Jim attended my Back to Nature event in Wales 2022.

A photographer who has the eye of an artist, the imagination of a writer and the stamina of a thoroughbred horse.

A great photographer that will do you proud as he has us on our event.

Recommended to All.

And here we meet - at Chriss Barral event.

The location is amazing, so also to set up plans was easy.

I enjoyed the bath, and Jim took some really nice images.

Looking forward to seeing them.

Jim is an easy to work with, down-to-earth person.

Looking forward for the next shoot.

Thank you very much indeed

So we move on a week and I am back at Old Swan studio for the TFP event hosted by Jim and Chris Barral. Four photographers and four models at each sitting, then all change after a couple of hrs and eight more participants, then same again. Some would see this as a logistical nightmare but Jim just takes it all in his stride. Another great afternoon. I can recommend both the studio and the host. Thanks, Jim.

Chris Barral

I hosted in partnership with Jim our Pure TFP Liverpool event at his Old Swan Studio.

Jim was there early ensuring all the small details where in place that add up to making an event successful.

Jim's Old Swan Studio is easy to find, affordable, friendly, well equipped with the added essential ingredient Jim himself.

Throughout our event Jim supported photographers with technical queries and support.

Laid on refreshments, made new models feel welcomed.

This man should be bottled...or maybe pickled.

So models and photographers get Jim's Studio 'Old Swan' booked you won't regret it.

Till the next one good Sir, see you soon.

Highly Recommended.

Until last week I had not had the pleasure of meeting Jim. But that all changed with two shoots within a week at his Old Swan studio.

Jim was a great host on Sat 23rd, everything was prepared, and cups of coffee were at the ready. I was shooting with two new models who had never been in a studio before and we had a great afternoon.

Full recommendation from me for a great little studio run by a gentleman who goes out of his way to make you feel at home. Thanks, Jim.

Chris Barral

Jim is my friend so my words are biased.

A good man, great photographer and all round legend with the gravitas that this word really means.

I had an absolute pleasure working with this Gentelmen on network event Smething special this Christmas" organised by Chris Barrel. At all times he was respectful, easy to talk to, down to earth and wicked sense of humour. And, although we did not have a lot of time to discuss plans, he was amazing at getting opportunities given work for our favour.

I am very pleased with the work achieved and am looking forward to work with him in near future.

Highly recommended to both professionals and the beginners in the field.

Thank you so much.

Highly recommended photographer
