John and I worked together for the first time today at Antwerp Mansion, Needless to say the day was a belting success. Each shot we took was unique to the next, he has a keen eye for photography making working together a breeze!

I throughly enjoyed working together and had lots of things in common, its always nice to meet a fellow goth with an eye for all things horror in the industry :D

John is very down to earth, Kind and just an absolute pleasure to work along side, so much so we have already got ideas bouncing around for our next creations...

100 % Would recommend booking John!

It was great to finally meet John. My girlfriend had said a lot of good things about him from her previous shoots and he didn't disappoint! It was my first shoot in a proper studio with lots of different backdrops/rooms with different themes in The Mill Studio in Chesterfield. This shoot helped raise my confidence levels with both solo and duo shoots and really looking forward to shooting with him again soon!

This wasn't my first shoot with John, and certainly won't be my last. He's been a great photographer and friend since day one of us having met on a fashion shoot in Sheffield last year. John's been there to help me with improving my confidence and comfort levels on shoots, as well as introducing me to other photographers/models/events too.

This shoot in particular was my first big studio shoot. We worked at The Mill Studio in Chesterfield, and it was a really great event. We cycled through the different backdrops quickly, John gave direction well and really helped my partner to be comfortable as he was introduced to the modelling world. I can't wait to work with him again, definitely recommend him to any model, beginner or experienced.

Me and John has a chilled out cosplay shoot at a location very close to me. He turned up on time and was relaxed and talked me though the images and how he was creating them which was an interesting learning curve

Had a fab first shoot with John and we did a location shoot with a stylist friend of mine.

We had fun from start to finish and we came up with some amazing set ups. John was professional, funny and easy to get along with and we will definitely do another shoot post lockdown v2!

Looking forward to seeing the pics and working with him again in the future.

Second shoot with John now and what a pleasure it was again!

It's like we've known each other years! The conversations flows so effortlessly throughout the hours.

You have on both occasion arrived within time and ready to go with a few ideas yourself.

There's not an awkward moment or a bad vibe when in your company and I would shoot with you at any point, without hesitation.

Brill shoot. Communication and organisation was fantastic. Worked together to create some brilliant retro themed shots that we can both be proud of. Such an enjoyable day.

Thenediel

I had a lovely first shoot with John after he applied to a last minute casting of mine.

His pre-shoot communication was great, and we were able to organise the shoot really easily.

John arrived on time and with plenty of great ideas for us to work towards.

I had fun on our shoot and I think John is a really cool guy! I felt comfortable to work with him throughout, I’d highly recommend him to anyone! :)

Belper Studio

John came for a four hour shoot with Thenediel paid on time. Great guy to work with. Highly recommend him and look forward to his return.

I had a casting up and John replied to it. His pre- comms were excellent and we did the shoot at my home.

I had a really good day and John is a very friendly and excellent photographer!

I liked the prop he bought along- an ottoman with Audrey Hepburn pictures on!

I’m so pleased with the photos I have been sent they are all excellent!

I will be arranging another shoot definitely!

I can highly recommend John to other models!

Many thanks again John for an excellent day!
