I just had a great vintage style shoot with John, who had a strong vision of what he wanted to create and sent me lots of useful inspo and help with outfit planning beforehand etc. On the day he was very professional and friendly - even brought delicious snacks! The shoot flew by and the effort put into the lighting set up was definitely worth it having seen the results. Thanks again John!

Inspire Studios Ltd

It was an absolute please to have John at the studio, he is a really lovely chap who is extremely respectful of the equipment in the studio and also ensuring the model is happy and understands exactly what he is aiming for with his photography. His communication is superb along with his ability to make anyone immediately feel at ease and to be offered cakes from a photographer was a lovely touch. Definitely welcome John back to the studio anytime.

I had a short- but very productive shoot with John last week during my studio day at Paul's studio. :)

John had a load of ideas to work on during the shoot which was great. We worked as a team to get the shots right and had a lot of fun in the process.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results from the shoot and hopefully working with John again one day!

Thank you, John :)

John came to my studio day at Pauls studio last weekend. John was great guy to work with, he had lots of ideas and we had a productive 2 hour shoot, which seemed to fly by but we managed to produced some lovely images.

I found John to friendly, laid back yet professional and I enjoyed our shoot very much.

Thanks for a fab shoot John.

I worked with John on my studio day a couple of weeks ago. It was an absolute pleasure working with him!

Despite us having no pre-comms (the event was organized by the studio owner), we built up a rapport very quickly and together we came up with some fantastic looks.

John is friendly, professional and full of creativity. I would be delighted to work with John again and recommend to any model!

Thank you for a fun and productive shoot.

John was a total delight to work with on my studio day at Fine And DanDee.. he turned up with specific ideas; we worked super quickly and efficiently, and had a giggle too.. the images are beautiful.. I can't recommend John enough.. he communicates well, has a thoroughly likeable personality and conducts his shoots in the most productive, yet fun manner! Would be very happy to work with him again :)

I met John today at a vintage fair (pre arranged) and we knew from the offset it was going to be a challenge with the number of visitors there but we had a really relaxed shoot, wandering around the classic cars and finding opportunities to get some shots. John handled it very well when I made a sudden dash for a Chevy truck with little warning and threw myself on the floor to pose in front of it ! He was understanding of the fact I was there with my daughter who enjoyed herself immensely ! John is a real gentleman and clearly knows his art. We talked about future projects and I will be pleased to work with him again.

I worked with John during my tour when I stopped in Bournemouth. We shot for 3h in Snaps Studios and the time just flew by! John arrive on time and prepared with many ideas. We discussed what we'll be doing for the shoot, and he also takes on board your suggestions which is a bonus as I think two minds always works better than one.. its a team effort! :) I really enjoyed shooting with John, he is excellent with his lighting, great in giving directions and knows exactly what shot he wants to achieve from each set. I would definitely work with him again, in fact we have discussed about shooting in the South of France! I would highly recommend him. Marla x

John came along to my studio day at Shutterworks today. He had given me a good idea of what he wanted to achieve in pre-comms, but was also open to my suggestions on the day. We got a huge amount done in the hour but still had a great time. I'd be delighted to work with him again and gladly recommend him to others.

Shutterworks Studio

It was great to finally get John into our studio on Saturday for Sinopa Rin's studio day. He is very professional, a great guy to work with, and very easy-going. I'm glad the space worked out well for you, John - deceptive, isn't it? 😀

I worked with John at a studio day in Bournemouth and really enjoyed the shoot. John is friendly and fun with some great ideas and came well prepared. We shot a range of styles and throughout the shoot John was friendly, chatty and relaxed making me feel engaged in the shoot and comfortable.

The time flew by!

I look forward to working with John again and highly recommend him :)
