John is an incredibly talented photographer with an amazing studio setup - lots of costumes and props. Very creative, with great ideas and the ability to pull them off.

Was well organised, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with John for the first time at his studio in Swindon recently and I couldn't recommend him more.

He sent a brilliant message to start that made the concept he had in mind super clear and made working together very easy.

The images are fantastic and I really couldn't recommend him more.

Thanks again John!

Just last night I hosted yet another Secret Garden event- this time with Elle Beth and Jessica Taylor. We were all blessed, yet again with good weather and the images looked amazing!

I first worked with John properly a couple of weeks ago- but first met him last year! In the space of a month we have had two very different shoots- pin up at his studio and art nude in the secret garden!

It was nice to work with John again and he worked super well with his paired photographer. Thank you for also taking Jess back!

I can't wait to see the images go up! :)

Had my chance to work with John on Friday and what a fantastic way to spend Friday hours. John had send me shoot ideas in advance and when I got there the costumes and everything I needed was already in place. His studio, props and creativity is mind blowing. John is friendly, directs well and has a professional yet friendly approach. The outfits were amazing because being me I had a look around aka snooping lol! The images looked amazing as he showed me them at the back of the camera as we progressed. Really an amazing person to work with and thanks S. Blaze for recommending me as well as thanks to John and Michelle for giving me the chance.

Highly recommended

Had another shoot today with John, this time a more pin-up style shoot but with a bit of cosplay mixed in.

I always enjoy shooting with John because he’s got incredible costumes, I love his studio set-up and he’s very easy to work with. I am keen to work with him again in the near future and would always recommend him to any models, especially those who have a passion for cosplay or pin-up style shoots.

Thank you again!

Had the most delightful shoot with Michelle and John at their own studio in Swindon.

We did a range of styles / genres, the outfits were simply amazing and we made the best use out of our time.

Punctual, friendly, organised with photo inspiration and so much fun - never a dull moment when here plus endless cups of tea. :)

Highly recommend

I had the pleasure of meeting John at his home studio in Swindon. Very friendly and professional photographer, showed me around and explained his ideas in detail before the shoot so I knew exactly what to expect/what photos we are aiming to create. Fully equity, amazing outfits and props! Everything you need. Him and his partner Michelle are fun and creative, felt comfortable straight away. Looked at all their amazing work & different styles they both create.

The photos on the back of the camera looked amazing. Would 100% recommend!

Phoenix Spider

I had my second shoot with Michelle a few weeks ago and also had the chance to work with John.

They are both such lovely, easy going people, very welcoming and hospitable and great fun to work with.

They both have their own individual and unique styles of photography, both being very creative and always full of ideas.

Such a pleasure to work with these guys and i hope to do so again soon.

Thanks again guys

Brilliant shoot with John and Michelle...both produce great work in totally different ways...John's style for me was fantasy...John is very organised with amazing fantasy outfits...I had so much fun holding these great big guns including a riffle...John and I had a laugh together when I wasn't aiming the gun at him...Michelle does Ballgown dresses made out of flowers on the models...wow...she does some really creative and stunning work!

Thank you both for a lovely day...

I had a great evening shoot with Michelle this week at her home studio.

We worked on her project in the time we had and I am super excited to see the final results when she can share them.

I had a lovely time and adored all the cute cats she has!! Thank you, Michelle, hope to work with you again one day. :)

Laura Loveless🌙

Had an absolutely brilliant shoot with John today at his home studio in Swindon. We covered two diverse looks, one being a foam 'armour' that made up a cosplay look from the game 'warhammer', (which was great fun to put on and take off, and something totally different to the style that I usually do in my shoots). We then did a cosplay for part of a series which John is doing for one of his own projects.

His pre-shoot comms were great, as always - I was able to pack any extra make up and outfit things I needed well in advance. He was here on time to take me to the shoot, having chatted about what we were going to do on the way there.

I loved the shoot and time just flew by, John is always a complete joy to work with and is very chatty, I can't wait to see what he did with the photos and I would definitely recommend him to any model. Thank you for a great shoot!

It was such a lovely shoot with Michelle and John today! The pre-comms were excellent and the shoot was well planned. Michelle and John are very friendly and welcoming people, and so are their cats and the dog as well! :) Michelle kindly picked me up from the station and drove me back, and I was offered plenty of tea and breaks.

We worked on a number of different sets ranging from classical art nude to Gothic, with plenty of chatting and joking in between, and produced some great images. Really enjoyed working together with Michelle and John and would highly recommend these lovely people to any model.
