Had a wonderful shoot with John :) He is a lovely chap and we had some lovely conversation over tea before we started. He knew his stuff and the shoot flew by! Very happy with the images captured! Highly recommended :D

An excellent shoot combined with John and Robyn Brook earlier today, John pulled Robyn out of a hat at an early hour this morning when our planned model cancelled at very short notice, John and I worked well together and got the best from Robyn to all our advantages.

Nice one John and look forward to the next shoot we do together.

This was a long awaiting shoot with John that I was looking forward to. John arrived in time and came well equipped with many different cameras. After tea and friendly conversation, we got round to shooting. John had some great ideas and had a variety of lenses with him to capture different effects. I would recommend him as a photographer and we managed to get some good pictures at the end of it!

I can't remember how many times I have worked with John, but it is always a pleasure. Every time we work together, he brings a new creative idea or skill and we always create something unique! He's interesting to talk to and easy to get on with, and I look forward to working together again. :)

John was an absolute delight to work with and I would definitely recommend him to other models!

His communication prior to the shoot was prompt and informative and we had everything thoroughly planned beforehand. He was very fun to work with and I felt comfortable and at ease through the entire shoot, our ideas flowed and the whole thing was just fantastic.

Not only that, he was kind enough to get me something to eat before we parted ways and has delivered some amazing images to me.

A great photographer and a really amicable person, I can't wait to shoot with him again.

I had a second shoot with John at the beginning of April. Firstly he booked me for an hour at my studio day at Studio1250 in Wolverhampton, then the following day we shot again at two separate locations. John also very kindly let me stay at his home that night. I was very well taken care of, fed and watered. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and the shoot went really smoothly.

I really enjoyed our shoot - thanks again.

Highly recommended.

Wonderful shoot with John!! (As always)

John is one of these photographers who you can count on the shoot going smoothly. We've worked together many times now and I can whole heartedly say I've no complaints.

He's always respectful, professional and considerate. Chatty and with a good sense of humour on top. Always with a car boot full of props so plenty of ideas but still leaves room for you to take the reins and throw your own in too.

Always a pleasure!

Thanks again John!

Had the great pleasure of meeting John today at the studio. Great communication prior to the shoot, punctual, polite, and professional. A pleasure to have here and I hope he enjoyed himself enough to grace our studio again. (Especially if he continues to forget to take his shortbread biscuits back with him) #yummytummy.

I had the great pleasure of a second shoot with John in my cottage, having last worked with him a few years ago!

John is a lovely and intelligent person with a great collection of Cameras and lenses. He made great use of my small space and I was delighted with the results I was seeing.

John's array of essentials didn't stop at camera gear, but also included a rather impressive selection of biscuits, and he very kindly left the jaffa cakes and caramel squares!

I would highly recommend John and hope for other shoots in the future!

My first time shooting with John yesterday, all his communications were excellent through out and prior to the shoot, they were detailed and as a result gave me lots of ideas to go from for posing. You can tell he has alot of experience from the direction he gives to a model (again detailed and useful) He uses a variety of cameras and lenses which is refreshing and he will happily talk to models about them in detail.

He is highly professional and easy to get along with, the images I received on the very same day. I am thrilled with the results. I cannot recommend John highly enough! He also provides Jaffa cakes! I am very excited to be working with him again.

John hired out my photography studio yesterday for the first time. My first impressions of John were friendly and professional. I found him to be a very mature and sophisticated character. He has shown respect for my property and equipment and has left the studio clean and tidy on departure.

Always a pleasure working with John, he is such good company, a great photographer and a real fountain of knowledge. I'm going to add 'trusting' to his list of endearing qualities today after he braved my driving and my battered car (wasn't me!!). Lovely location shoot, I'm sure the numerous people out on walks in the middle of nowhere who simply wouldn't go away despite John offering directional help would totally agree too!! Got some great pics, got some rather unique pics and got some unusual but usual for me pics. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Thank you John xx

I was delighted (and a little apprehensive) to have been invited on a shoot at the Pit today. Mr Duder was mentoring me and what a fantastic mentor he is. John is a fountain of knowledge and extremely patient when it comes to explaining things, he taught me so much today. It was a wonderful opportunity to put into practice what text books can't show. He had also lined up a wonderful model for me to practise on. Unfortunately I had limited (albeit productive) time with her, I could have stayed all day but unfortunately I ran out of time. Thank you so much John!!! x

I am so grateful to John for organizing a shoot at The Pit today. Apart from the fact that I have been wanting to shoot there for ages, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was wonderful. I was lucky enough to be working with John (who is pretty damn awesome) and 2 other photographers, they all made me feel extremely at ease and allowed me to bring my ideas into reality. He is so easy to work with, very respectful and wonderful company. I am already looking forward to our next venture. Thank you xx

I worked with John just before Christmas and I can't count what number shoot it was with John, we have been working together over a number of years roughly 6-7 years at least and every time I work with John it gets better and better! This time it was very different it was a pregnancy shoot and we produced some really beautiful images! John has a great eye and takes stunning shots, he took some amazing bodyscapes of the bump that were just beautiful!

John is an overall true professional, always respectful and so easy to work with! Communications are always great and time literally flies by when we are working together! I would recommend John with no hesitation and he is one of my favourite photographer's to work with! I have been really lucky to have the pleasure of working with him for so many years and I do hope this can continue when I return from my break after having my baby! 210% recommended from me! Thanks as always John!

My shoot with John was really enjoyable, communication before hand was easy and clear and when it came to shooting we got on like a house on fire, ideas flowed and we got some really great images, possibly some of my favourites ever!

I would recommend working with John and I hope we can work together again in the future.

I had an extremely relaxed shoot yesterday with John where are consumption of tea may have equalled our creation of photography, however we still managed to come up with some really nice stuff in that time. John has an thoroughly interesting and extensive knowledge of photography, cameras and showed up with a collection of cameras and lenses to explain to me. He has helped me greatly in perusing my recent interest in photography and for this i cannot thank him enough, Even lending me a studio light to practice with (for which me and Neena already have big plans) Thanks a lot John, it was great working with you (and drinking tea) once again. :-)

John is an awesome photographer to work with! Shoot was booked with ease and I was so impressed with the choice of studio :)

I like shoots to be a little spontaneous and was so so pleased that John had more than a few ideas to throw in - I was amazed by the amount of different lenses and cameras that we could work with and as a lover of all things vintage I felt very privileged to be able to work with a photographer that can cater to this style and then some :)

John is a patient, accommodating and and very talented person to work with - I would not hesitate to work with him again and would recommend him highly to established and newbie models :)
