What can I say about John that hasn't already been said?

He is such a dude, we immediately hit it off, laughing and chatting all the way through - this man has an absolutely epic way with the camera, perfection with the lighting collection he brought and the images really do speak for themselves!

I can't recommend this very special photographer enough to all, a fantastic individual who knows his stuff, so refreshing ♡

Shot with John for the first time yesterday at Flash Photography studio's group event. He was very friendly and polite, a pleasure to work with. I would definitely work with him again, group shoot or 1 on 1. Very much recommended :)

Would I recommend John Askey....

Quite simply YES!!

John was a real pleasure to work with on one of Mick Payton's Workshops back in November, he was friendly, polite, respectful and a very good photographer. I am absolutely blown away by the results from the workshop and John's images in particular.

Would love to work with him again and would not hesitate to recommend him to other models,

Thanks again John,

On tuesday I had the privilege of shooting with John for the first time - and what a fantastic shoot it was!

John was amazing with the animals, handling them like a pro whenever passed to him. Many photographers struggle working with moving subjects, John is not one of these. His talent at photographing my babies instantly impressed me, with the back of the camera shots being amazing on their own, and proving his ability of getting on point raw images! He was confident and took to the animals so well.

John was a delight to shoot with and I cant wait to see what we can produce in the future!

Highly recommended to anyone and everyone!!

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting with John for the first time. John came highly recommended from a few individuals I know well so I was very anxious to meet and work with him.

Pre-shoot communications were brilliant, and we quickly came up with ideas and dates. We decided to shoot at mine so we would have lots of animals to choose from.

John arrived on time, and instantly made me feel comfortable. He came prepared with lights, backgrounds, props and all. It was wonderful to meet someone so creative. We set up a little studio in my kitchen and got to work! John seemed to know exactly what I was going for every time, and managed to capture every shot exactly how I wanted it! Having seen a few of the final edits I am over the moon and extremely impressed. He was easy-going yet still professional, an absolute delight to work with and a genuinely lovely man. I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot, and I hope I have the pleasure of working with him again soon!

I would recommend John to all of you, trust me you wont be disappointed!!!

Had such a lovely time shooting with John! What an outstanding photographer and lovely down to earth person.

We met at a model and photographer meet and John knew straight away the type of shoot he wanted to do. He came equipped with clothes, jewellery, face paint, and countless amounts of props!

I'm glad to have been able to work with such a talented photographer, and I know this won't be our only shoot together.

Couldn't recommend more, had a great time xo

Had a wonderful shoot recently with John as he was recommended to me by other models due to his professionalism and friendly nature. He had the most perfect waterfall outdoor location lined up for our shoot and we clicked straight away which is always a relief. John even brought dry towels because he knew things might be muddy and wet at the location; such a gentleman! We were lucky enough to be blessed with some yummy natural light albeit a few dog walkers who stumbled across our shoot, but John remained calm and we created some stunning shots! You can tell John is passionate about photography and not just some man with a cam as he's also creative with costume making! Absolutely loved meeting you John. Highly recommended :)

My second time shooting with this bundle of awesomeness and what a great day it was. John decided to join us for a complete day of events hosted at Oldway mansion hosted by Chris Conway and he was the perfect attendee. He was chatty, fun, full of energy, respectful towards me and other members of the group. The day wouldnt have been the same without him. His work is great and he has a clear passion for photography but his port doesnt show you what a genuine guy he is also. Im so pleased John could join us for the day and i hope to have the pleasure of working with him again in the future, he comes very highly recommended by me. Thanks for joining us on the day :-)

I've lost count of how many times I've worked with John now! I had the pleasure of modelling for him again during a recent trip to Wales, and despite the less than favourable weather, we produced some brilliant images in a short space of time. John is laid-back, creative and we always have a great laugh. Until next time :)

On wednesday eve i finally got the pleasure of meeting and working with the lovely John! I was unuaware that he was one of the attendees of a workshop i was modelling for and after briefly meeting him at Studio hire Plymouth it was a really lovely surprise. John is a perfect gent and knows exactly how to work with models, treating them with respect and directs really well to get that killer shot hes after. I hope to have the opportunity to work with John again in the not to distant future. :-)

I had a lovely first shot with John a couple of weeks ago. We decided to head into the hills and work around a waterfall and some awesome rock formations. John was really easy to work with, really great company and we captured some fabulous natural light images. Pre-shoot comms were also brilliant.

I highly recommend John and hope we get to work together again in the future.

I had the great pleasure of working with John when I was touring Bristol. I was really chuffed when he responded to my casting call as I've always found his images very interesting and artistic.

I had booked a gorgeous flat for the 2 days I stayed in Bristol and John really made a great use of what was available. Sometimes, you book a stunning flat and end up posing against a white wall for the whole duration of the shoot and don't make the best out of the place... well, John made sure the space was well used (I remember that really awesome clock!) and he got some really cracking images. Its just a pity we ran out of time (it was after 10pm!) so we didn't get to shoot in the really quirky bath that was there.

John arrived on time with a big bag full of goodies... when he opened it, I was like a kid opening Christmas presents! haha! So many props and outfits! ♥ We shot some art/fashion nude, then something a bit more raunchy, then we went to the bedroom for something a little more erotic. Even though the lighting was not working for us at the start of the erotic set, after some perseverance, we mad it work and got some really amazing images in the short time we had left. John was fab during the shoot, so respectful, very friendly and very much fun to chat to.. also he's such a perfectionist with his lighting (which really shows in his images), and the images he showed me from the back of the camera were soooo good... then I saw the edited versions a few days later and I was like... wow!! I am SO happy with them!!

I would love another opportunity to work with John again, and of course, I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thank you John for a really lovely and productive shoot. I hope we will shoot together again one day. Marla :)

I was really excited to work with John again, and he did not disappoint! We had a great time running all over Cardiff; the lighting conditions were quite challenging but John is a master of light and he created some stunning images. As always, it was a pleasure to chat to him between sets and he made sure I was conformable at all times, as we were shooting in some very public locations. John is an absolutely gem and a brilliant photographer... I look forward to working with him again! Highly recommended.

recently had the opportunity to work with John on a tiptop shoot at the pit, highly professional, very easy to work with and some beautiful pictures!

I recently had the chance to work with John at a studio day organised by Tip Top photography.

John was easy to work with was happy to direct me when needed, but also let me make some of my own suggestions. He was polite, professional & friendly. We had a small amount of time together but John utilisted that time well.

I really enjoyed our set together, we got the opportunity to work with props and gel lighting, the results were brilliant. A fantastic addition to my portfolio. Thank you John

Had an incredible shoot with John recently at the Pitt studio in Nottingham. It was a group shoot organised by Tip Top and I was the fire performer

John was very easy to work with. A nice, down to earth gent who gave great direction and the finished images are some of the best I've had of me working with fire.

I would highly recommend working with John and i hope i get the chance to work with him again.

Worked with John on a group event at TipTop Studios.

It was a pleasure working with him/meeting him and he was a joy to have as part of the group!

Really respectful and would happily recommend him to others :)

Love the couple shots he has put on his profile already and look forward to seeing more from the day :)

Hopefully get to work with him again in the future!

I have known John for a couple of years now and worked alongside him on many many shoots. John is one of the loveliest photographers you will ever meet. He is considerate of those around him, great suggesting poses/sets for the model he is working with and produces stunning images. Love him to bits.

John attended my model day at Tip Top Studio in Birmingham,

Such a lovely genuine guy, very easy to work with, John had his own ideas for each set and wasn't afraid to try something different.

Would love to work with him again

Highly Recommended by me

Thanks again John
