John and I have communicated via the internet for quite some time having admired each others work. Both of us being photographers who prefer to plough a lonely furrow, i.e., work alone, we had both hesitated to share a shoot. But after talking with John via messages I felt John was a decent and considerate man, teaming up with John today and excellent model Rose Aurora proved my suspicions correct :-)

John is a true gentleman, very thoughtful, considerate and respectful of the models needs. It was cold and wet underfoot, John didn't hesitate to suggest Robyn had plenty of opportunities to warm up.

A genuine, warm, friendly and kind man who it was a pleasure to share a shoot with and highly recommended to models and like minded photographers. Not to mention a very talented photographer !

Thanks again John for a fun and and very successful shoot :-)

Another fantastic shoot with one of my favourite photographers... many images I have flicked through which certainly have the wow factor about them!

I always get along very well with John as he is nothing less than a very pleasant person to be around.

As usual I am looking forward to whenever we work together next and he will always get a recommendation from me! :D

Despite some fun initially meeting each other and an overcast Autumn afternoon as our backdrop we spent a lovely couple of hours shooting among the reds and oranges of the seasonal leaves.

John was a lovely man and came very well equipped, he gave positive directions and had such a clear concept of how he wanted each image to look. I can only apologise for not being able to supply the dance element I can normally produce in shoots, hopefully that means we still have more to work through together.

Thank you John.

I would highly recommend working with John. Professional, courteous, and very easy going. I have worked with John many times over the past 3 years.

I had a great shoot with John today. Turned up on time and with lots of ideas and a selection of many lenses and cameras :) He is such a friendly person and a true professional. We got a lot of shots done but we realised we forgot to do a certain shoot idea as John was leaving. He had lots of great ideas and even brought props for them. Also I got given some yummy chocolate digestives afterwards :) I would work with John again and hope to shoot with him in the near future :)

Worked with John at the Beyond Excess Latex studio day on saturday. Had lots of fun and created some images that were not only great quality but totally fitting of the brief we had been given.

Everyone came away with exactly what they wanted. We have talked about shoot No.2 already so no need to answer the 'would you work with this person again?' question.

Watch this space :D

Beyond Excess Latex

I feel Johns' portfolio speaks for itself - what you may not know is that John is one of the loveliest, most hardworking photographers around. He arrived on time, wasn't fazed by the hectic day planned, was polite to everyone involved and his good humour ensured everyone he worked with was comfortable and having a good time.

I organised the group shoot and it's always lovely to hear a photographer was liked. In this case, everyone from the models to the assistants came to me, to tell me how much they enjoyed their time with him.

John, you're are more than welcome to any event I run in future. In fact, as long as you're not busy, I insist! :)

I had the great opportunity to work with John on for Bex excess latex shoot. John was the 1st photographer to shoot me for the day. I felt incredibly at ease and comfortable with him. He managed to keep the energy very light, his directions were clear it was easy to work with him. He has a great sense of humour and is a joy to be around. I would hugely recommend him to anyone that is either starting or professional, you will have great pictures and a great experience!

I always love working with John.

Yet again, more great ideas using both film and digital.

We tried all sorts of things and John was very patient whilst I adjusted hair and make-up for each look... mind you, he wasn't short of cameras and lenses to play around with in the meantime!

(13 to our count I think..).

John even had me out in the garden working a bin liner! lol

We both worked hard all day and we have more ideas to continue on for next time.

As always- can't wait to shoot again! :D

It's been a long while since I last worked with John, but I certainly wasn't disappointed when we finally did again just last week.

I got an unexpected text in the morning asking if I could possibly shoot for a couple of hours or so at Coco studios which was no problem for me :)

John came to pick me up and also kindly dropped me off back home again as promised.

The shoot itself was brilliant. John was shooting along with fellow photographer (Chrism8) and I must say, they made a great team!

They had base ideas that they wanted to do and also easily bounced ideas off one another to produce some great results which I'm looking forward to see.

I hope if there is a next time, we don't leave it as long! :)

He is such a lovely, well-spoken and highly professional guy with a true passion for photography.

Shooting with John is always a pleasure and I'd always highly recommend John to other models, photographers and studios.

Another fantastic photoshoot with John, who I could not recommend highly enough.

He's interesting to talk to, picked me up from the bus stop when I got lost and produced some fantastic images that I cannot wait to post.

Cannot wait to work together again- models, John Duder rocks. :D

So I couldn't resist writing another reference for John, as we often work together and always get absolutely fantastic results.

The last shoot we did (apart from our early morning one yesterday) was shot using a variety of lenses, scenes,cameras and covering various styles and genres.

I thoroughly enjoy every shoot we have done from the very start and always get the best results as we are more often than not, on the same wave length.

John always looks after his models, makes you feel safe and comfortable around him and is more than generous.

I could go on forever and I simply do not have a bad word to say!

Thank you very much John, and as always I look forward very much to our next shoot :D

Highly recommended!

Mr Duder was indeed a real cool dude :)

We had a fabulous day shooting in his beautiful garden- which by the way, is like something out of a fairytale!! He was very kind, took very good care of me and even spoiled me with lunch!

Definitely recommend working with him and hope it won't be the last time I do!! Thank you so much John!!

Worked with John on a shoot last week and had great fun running hiding in the bluebell fields!

Brilliant photographer, highly recommended!

I worked with John on a girl girl shoot today he was a true gentleman, arrived nice and early with lots of great ideas. John was extremely polite and friend, he brought along certain props and backdrops to match the style he had in mind. He helped me a Jamillia capture the perfect images we wanted. I would certainly recommend John to any models looking for a professional photographer to give their portfolio that special something.

John Hired Body Couture studios today, he was punctual, friendly and easy going. I would certainly recommend John

I have worked with John a few times now, but the most recent was a full day shoot at his house, which is riddled with fabulous shooting opportunities. John is such a lovely, caring guy who goes out of his way to make you feel at home and you can always tell how relaxed the models are by viewing his images. I honestly can't recommend this crazy cat and his 600 cameras enough. He is full of brilliant ideas, but also lets you try things you've had your eye on - which is wonderful! If you're starting up a new portfolio John would most definitely be the one to build it up with amazing images - or even to add creative work to an already experienced portfolio. Top guy, full marks!!
