I was lucky enough to shoot with John for the second time, and was delighted to have the opportunity to work with him again.

A true professional and gent, who brings great energy to his work.

I believe we produced some amazing images, and I'm so so happy with the results - thanks for capturing me so well.

Really would love to work with John again, and would recommend him to any models or studios.

John and I have been talking about shooting for almost a decade lol, so I am so pleased to finally be able to leave him a reference and say we finally shot. John is very personable, polite and considerate. He takes great care over his photography, wanting to get his composition just right, I saw some of our photos on the back of the camera and they looked beautiful so I can’t wait to see what the finished results will be.

It was lovely to finally meet you John, have a safe trip and Happy New Year

I think johns work and references speak for themselves!

John and I worked together at a workshop organised by mick Payton and it was an absolute pleasure. John gave great direction, was really professional and lovely all around. His images have been great and he has fantastic creativity with his edits. I can’t wait to work with him again in April!

I was very glad to meet John during a studio day at MickPaytons studio in Wales as everything went really great. Despite we didn't have many time John encouraged me to feel good and at ease,he gave me some good directions and always showed the photos after each slot. Pre-communication was great and I really like the photos John took. John is polite and respectful photographer,and I hope we will be shooting again

Highly recommended to shoot with, 100%

It was most excellent working with John recently at a Studio Evening. It had been over a decade since our last shoot!! John is just ace to work with and got some absolutely cracking shots from the evening.

We have already booked our next shoot together on location this time and I really can't wait to see what we come up with next!

Thanks so much John :)

Had the pleasure of shooting with John on my Newport tour. He was great to shoot with - helped pick out outfits he wanted to shoot, had ideas but willing to listen you yours too - he works quick, meaning you can get the most out of the shoot. It was a really relaxed fun shoot - would not hesitate to work with john again.

John is an absolute legend! He stepped in and replied to my cancellation casting for my disastrous tour to Newport 😆

It had been years since our last shoot, he’s a joy to shoot with, be around, he has a great passion for photography and saw all the best angles in the air bnb.

We got some amazing shots! Thanks John, highly recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with John on a recent group shoot and I highlighted recommend him to any model, new or experienced.

John has a great eye for a shoot and the talent to produce it, easy to work with and great at directing as well as letting me work with my own ideas.

I hope we cross paths again, thanks so much John! X

I had the most amazing surprise this week whilst I was on my second Gloucestershire tour. John turned up at a group shoot I was modelling for :)

John is so lovely to work with, so creative and fun!

If you haven’t worked with him yet, you really need to!

Such a talented man!

Until next time John xx

John attended one of Mick Payton's workshops I was modelling for, he was really lovely to shoot with and a great member of our group for the day.

We got some lovely shots and had a chat here and there when there was a chance which was great too.

Definitely recommend and hope to see him again.

It was a delight to work with John at the enchanted evermore workshop. Not only this, but he already showed me a lot of the photos at the shoot, and they look amazing! He was very considerate of the model, patient and friendly. You really have the best of both worlds with him, and hopefully I’ll get to work with him in the future. Thank you so much for being a pleasure to work with! 😄

I was over the moon to know John booked last minute to join an event me and studio f8 were hosting, it was an artnude fashion full day shoot and I was so pleased to get to meet and shoot with John again.

We had shot once before at Tankspace, and i remember we got along very well and we got some of the best images i created that day whilst working together.

He has a friendly and welcoming smile and is so easy to talk to and get along with, which makes it a dream to shoot with him. His work shows creativity, and his passion for photography is so clear - and contagious! :)

I felt completely comfortable when shooting with him, he gives great feedback of what hes going for - which really helps me create the image hes wanting. We played around with colours and different angles and i have to say, the best part of the whole day was watching him do his happy legs dance when looking at the back of the camera at a shot we had just taken. Its so refreshing to see such passion and his strive to create something different.

He has a great sense of humour and puts you at ease instantly - which really is the base ingredients of an epic shoot! After our first set he was already sat editing one of our images as the other photographers were taking turns shooting me.. and by the time i was on my 3rd change he already had a edit up on Instagram! Now thats speedy!

Its always a joy to work with John and see what brilliant edits he comes up with! :)

I hope to work together again soon (ooooh, maybe that duo!)

I absolutely wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to any model, be that new or experienced.. Youll have a good laugh, be creative and be a part of his ever expanding (and improving!) portfolio.

Thanks so much, it was an absolute pleasure!

f/8 Studio

It is always a pleasure to have John at f/8 Studio. John has been to a number of our events since we started back up and he is a joy to have around.

An exceedingly knowledgable and experienced photographer, John is great to bounce ideas off of and indeed take advice from too. John is easy to get along with, fun to work with and a joy to have around the studio. The images I have seen as a result are phenomenal.

Importantly with group shoots and events John is also very patient and helpful with photographers less experienced than he.

I hope to have the pleasure of Johns company for many future events to come. Highly recommended.

John came along to a Steampunk event at F/8 Studio in Gloucester, and with him, he brought along a ton of enthusiasm, so much positive energy and excellent conversation, not to mention ideas - it's always wonderful to create with this fellow! And the images are just GORGEOUS.

John is a lovely chap, very aware of the comfort of the model, chatty, friendly, incredible artistic, and a joy to be around around. Would highly recommend this soul to all models and creatives!

Until next time my dear.

John attended a workshop ran by Mick Payton and I found jis communication throughout the shoot really good, he has a good eye for thinking outside the box and capturing different images, love the images I saw on the back of the camera!

Thanks for attending :)

I had the most amazing first shoot with John recently on my first ever Gloucestershire tour, and oh my god how amazing that was.

I put up a last minute casting and I was so happy John applied. He has an amazing portfolio and I’m so pleased to be a part of it.

John kindly met me at the studio I was working at and I followed him to our location, we drove down all these bendy lanes (not like London) haha... it was an experience in itself.

As for the shoot, we worked through loads of sets in such a short space of time and I am so happy with the images!

Thank you John for an amazing first shoot, until next time my friend ...
