This girl

Had a most fabulous fun fuelled Sunday sesh with this completely sound and talented geezer that not only rocks stills, does video too and manned the smoke machine and gels to successfully orienteer a unique shoot with the unfazed and most gentlemanly approach a girl could wish for!

Edits and reference in days, was utterly wonderful, you handled the bonkers brilliantly, highly recommend! Thanks John you are a star!

Had a last minute and unplanned shoot with John at my home, he was kind enough to travel to me and brought along a few props which went handy with an outfit I had. There was planned idea with this shoot it was one of those “wing it” shoots and he adapted well to the environment he was working with. John showed great attention to detail with lighting and ensuring everything was in focus. Overall an enjoyable first shoot, lovely guy, unique style and a pleasant experience, would happily work with again and recommend. Many thanks

Had a full day shoot with John in Manchester city centre and at my available apartment. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely polite, and a very interesting character, in a good way! He is very easy to talk to and made the shoot very easy for me as it was like I was spending the day with a friend! I would most definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking at working with him

This was my first time working with John at a charity event based in Millwood Studios and it was a great shoot. On the ball with it from start to finish and gives great direction where needed.

All in all we had a great laugh together and I'd definitely recommend models to work with him. Can't wait to see the images we produced together!

Thanks John :)

After a year or so of comms and not being able to meet for a shoot, I finally got to work with the talented John at a charity photoshoot event at Millwood Studios. John is easy going, professional and fab to work with and full of ideas. He even comes with his own mini boom box full of tunes! I’m hoping I get to work with John again in the near future as there didn’t seem enough time to get all the ideas out with the limited time we had at this shoot, but going off what I’ve seen from the back of the camera, I’m very keen to to see the finished results :)

Twas my second shoot with John with a vast theme change which was delightful.

John is was very good at pre-shoot communication with details as to what he was looking for and the beautiful location setting for those particular set.

This themed look we decided to go for a more enchanting elvish/pixie/fantasy feel which went perfectly with the location he chose, this flew so effortlessly working together wonderfully.

Such a pleasure you work with this one as well share such similar visions and mindsets so not only does the envisioned set go swimmingly but the conversation flows with ease.

Until next time as it is inevitable we will join forced once again!

As always 100% would recommend 😊

John is a fab character who is easy to get along with and his passion for photography shows. This is my second shoot with John and I’ll definitely be doing another! He is open to ideas and also brings ideas & knowledge to the shoot. Highly recommended

Mine and John's third shoot together at The Mill Studio in Chesterfield.

I thoroughly enjoy working with John, not just for his kind nature and sense of humour but because he is extremely creative in his work and likes to think outside the box, which is incredibly admirable and makes shooting with him fun. John's shooting styles are right up my street, very crazy and quirky and expressive, the type of work I just LOVE to ve involved in.

Even though I'm retiring from modelling in the very near future I would still take the opportunity to shoot with John for a fourth time and would recommend to any other models.

Had a fantastic shoot with John! He’s a very interesting guy! With lots of cool stories, he’s so easy to get a long with, I loved our shoot! I can’t wait to work with him again. I’d recommend him to absolutely anyone.

Thanks again John,

Our second shoot together..

I always enjoy shooting with John, he's such a quirky and creative character with an eye for anything vintage, weird and wonderful!

It was delightful to catch up at Parktannas retro yard and create some awesome images, they looked fantastic from the back of the camera.

I recommend shooting with John to other models, John is very respectful. I'm already looking forward to our next shoot.

Until next time,

Natalia

I had the great pleasure of working with John today for my Matt Murdock inspired shoot.

Not only was he a true professional, but gave great direction and had fantastic ideas on executing certain shots.

I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to add top of the line photos to their portfolio
