John was great to shoot with and got some amazing photos from this shoot probably some

Of my favourite photos. Had a huge selection of clothing and props to make the photos look even more amazing. Studio was lovely and so was his wife :). It was a very professional and enjoyable shoot.

I would recommend John!

I had the pleasure of working with John at his home earlier this week. Pre-comms were excellent and I found him to be warm and friendly from the moment we met. We worked through a huge range of sets, including a short shoot with his lovely wife, and I loved hearing all about the history behind his Airborne Angels outfits. John is creative, respectful and made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot. I'd be delighted to work with him again and happily recommend him to others.

What a fantastic shoot I had with John!

I was greeted with such a lovely welcome by him, his wife and the gorgeous dog Frankie. I loved meeting the cats too :)

Johns studio is amazing, spacious, clean and very well organised.

We started off doing Airborne Angels, which I really enjoyed, especially the history behind every piece. It was very interesting. We did some other bits and, wow, I loved every set!

John is an incredible photographer and very creative. I loved this shoot and I hope we can work together again in the future.

Very highly recommended.

I shot with John for the first time recently, pre comms were clear and he knew exactly what he wanted to get shot on the day.

John picked me up and dropped me at the station on the day of our shoot and was very efficient and great to work with. We shot multiple looks for his Airborne Angels series and a few other bits and pieces, his studio is very well equipped and he has a bunch of cool outfits/costumes etc to work with. I also enjoyed meeting the cats and Frankie!

Having worked with John multiple times, he is someone I always look forward to shooting for so so many reasons. Not only is he amazing at what he does, have a huge range of clothing and props to utilise, or is incredibly lovely guy who will feed you cups of tea until your full to burst! But I have never left a shoot with John feeling anything other than awe and excitement at the images he’s managed to capture. He has such a wide repertoire and shoots a huge variety of styles that you can’t help but learn and enjoy yourself.

I plan on working with him again and again and can’t wait for the next time!

Second shoot with John, and wow what a shoot it was!

I already knew how fab John is to shoot with, so things were easily flowing from the get go. I was so pleased to see his fantastic array of outfits and props to work with, which we got some bloody great shots with if I do say so myself hehe. He is truly talented at what he does, and ensures my comfort in each shot.

Cannot recommend John enough, I truly hope we work together again!

Wow! Where do I begin to talk about my amazing shoot with John… he was so incredibly friendly and professional, as well as having copious amounts of great gear to shoot with. He made me feel so at ease and we were instantly on the same page when it came to getting the shots we wanted. Add in the great cuppas and lovely pets, it was the perfect shoot! So beyond pleased with what we captured, truly cannot wait to shoot together again :)

I took a year long break from shooting and have just recently made my return, in which John and I decided that we'd shoot again. I think this may well be our twelfth shoot together.

I wanted to contribute something towards the 'dark Goddess' series that he's done, so that was one of the first things we shot today along with a Plague Doctor set and some 'sin city' style sets.

John always has a multitude of different props and costume pieces ready for shoots, which is always great fun for me (as someone who loves dressing up)! He's always on time and has the studio heated up ready for shooting. He's good at giving direction and I always feel that we work well together. I even got to see his lovely but now not so small dog today, which was a bonus.

I'd recommend John to any models, both new and experienced - especially those who love WW2 pin-up, boudoir or comic book genres... he's good at adding something different to my portfolio which is why I love working with him.

Thank you again!

Had a great shoot with John at the weekend. Pre comms were great and we had the entire shoot planned out.

I had such a fun time creating in his home studio. His wife brought out refreshments regularly and we all had a laugh.

I really hope to work with John again. Definitely recommended. :)

A great second shoot with John on Sunday. I arrived at John's home studio and everything was set up ready and well organised. Pre comms were great again too. John had a shoot plan in place, breaking it down into two halves, shooting for Airborne Angels that he has created and also a film noir set. John's collection for his Airborne Angels is fascinating and he is knowledgeable on the history behind the pieces too. You never know what John may ask you to model next, which is quite exciting!

The noir part of the shoot was good too. I do enjoy shooting the femme fatale style and playing the badass so really enjoyed both parts of the shoot.

John gives some direction to create set poses which always look flattering and which are great for the theme too. We had a good laugh on our second shoot together and the images I have seen have been really strong.

I would definitely recommend shooting with John, he does photography for a living and his images are always of high quality.

Many Thanks John :)

Had my first of what I hope to be MANY shoots with John today! He is an incredible photographer with a huge variety of handmade props, jackets, clothing and pretty much everything you could want as a model!

With a home studio that he built himself (dressing room included) it is more than equipped with all the basic lighting and backdrops and then some. These combined with the man himself who is nothing if not professional, charming and above all a fantastic photographer with a hugely varied but all quality portfolio, it’s impossible to get a bad shoot. John was an absolute gentleman providing endless cups of tea and I would jump at the chance to work with him again and would recommend him to anyone!

A great first shoot with John at his home / business Studio in Swindon. John gave me a nice welcome and was well prepared for the shoot. The first set was already good to go. The second set was for the Airborne Angels series. It was amazing how much kit John had for it and the knowledge and stories behind each outfit and military item. It was good fun to try it on and pose with it all! John was completely respectful for the higher implied levels we were shooting too and definitely had the models well being in mind. John was also chatty and gave direction to create the images he was looking for. I really enjoyed the shoot and have been given a selection of excellent images to post on my profile as well. I would definitely recommend shooting with John to other models and would work with him again in the future. Thanks for a great day John :) x

Had another fantastic shoot with John today. I'll be losing count of how many we've done soon! Opted for some headshots/portraits today, something a bit different that I haven't shot with John before. He was ready when I arrived and is always able to offer some minimal direction to get the best out of the shoot - was really happy with the back of camera shots so can't wait for the final edits.

John's always so easy to work with, really easy-going and always lets me say hello to their (not so small any more) puppy.

I'll always recommend John - thank you!

Had my tenth (!!) shoot today with John. We did some more WW2 pin-up themed photos, and some nude images that will be magicked into something arty later on in photoshop. I'm comfortable around John, and I enjoy getting to wear interesting outfits that I wouldn't usually have access to, and lots of props.

John is reliable, easy-going and now has the absolute cutest puppy I have ever seen, which is always a plus. He's one of my favourite people to work with and a hugely creative photographer. I will always recommend him to any models, new or old. Thank you for another great shoot!

Had an amazing shoot with John yesterday.

He's funny, warm and made me feel at ease straight away.

Shooting lingerie and nude definitely gets boring after a while, so I was absolutely overjoyed when John chucked all of these creative ideas at me. I genuinely enjoyed myself the entire time, and the hours flew by!

John showed me the images he'd taken throughout the shoot and I am absolutely buzzing to see the finished results.

Cannot recommend enough!!

A MASSIVE YES FROM SPARKLY SPARKLES!

John is fantastic to work with! Second time working together...

I was greeted by John and his cute 6 week old puppy (could not of got a better greeting)...

John is alot of fun, brilliant with banter, a super duper sense of humour, respectful and professional...

OH and his photography skills are spot on...He knows exactly how to direct a model really well to get incredible images...Even learnt a few pose ideas that works well for me...

Thank you for booking me...

Laura Loveless🌙

Had another great shoot today with John, this time something a bit more weird than usual - John was ready on time and is always great to work with, has an endless supply of props and clothes and is one hell of a talented photographer! He managed to source some really great things for today's shoot which I couldn't have been more grateful for and always appreciates my inspo when we're planning anything.

I will always recommend working with John and can't wait to see the images we created today.

10000% recommend, thank you!

Had a great shoot with John last week in his home studio. John has an amazing collection of outfits and I had great fun posing in a few of them. We had discussed a shoot plan beforehand and worked through a number of different sets in the time. John was polite and respectful throughout the shoot and he's also super interesting to chat to. His lovely wife made sure we had plenty of refreshments and the time just flew by. The images John showed me on the camera looked amazing and I really hope that we can work together again. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John, great photographer and a lovely person. x

Had the pleasure of shooting with John yesterday and it was so much fun! His home studio was absolutely amazing, I could of got lost in the endless incredible props/clothing he has. Pre comms couldn’t of been better, I knew exactly what to being and what to expect. We already have lots of ideas for a next shoot!
