Had a great 1-2-1 session with Jon and Theresa Louise as i love Jons work and felt i needed to come out of my comfort zone when shooting people. Booked 4 hours which i thought may be too long but have to say it was just right. Learnt a lot, Jon explains his thoughts and methods very clearly and he's certainly given me plenty to think about. Highly recommended.

I booked a 1-2-1 session with Jon and Theresa Louise, having long been an admirer of Jon's work and being in need of an injection of creativity into my own. All I can say is that the guy is a bit of a creative genius - he's full of ideas, many of which seem bonkers when he explains them to you, but the results of his work really do speak for themselves. Really down to earth guy with a relaxed and easy to understand way of getting his ideas across. If you book some time with him you will not be disappointed. And you get a pressie! Cheers Jon.

Had a fantastic 1-2-1 tutorial yesterday with Jon and Snot Monster ;) Jon teaches really well and I learned loads during the time, as well as having lots of fun! :-) There was clearly lots more I could have leaned from Jon but I have masses of things to go and try out now, as well as a cool free gift I am really looking forward to using! :-) All in all a fantastic session, I would recommend Jon's tutorials to any photographer - you will learn some awesome stuff! :-)

Jon is hands down one of the loveliest photographers you'll ever get to shoot with.

From start til finish, Jon made me feel so comfortable & relaxed around him. Throughout the shoot, he kept coming up with brilliant ideas, constantly buzzing with excitement & infectious enthusiasm. Jon always showed me some of the images so I knew what each set is going to look like, which always really helps. He also let me model my own way, working around my natural poses & movements, only directing me when needed for the best shot.

I'd 100% recommend working with him. He's a truly genuine, lovely, joyful person who's an absolute dream to work with and I really hope I get to create with him again :)

Wow Jon is an amazing photographer...he's the wizard of the camera. He's got extraordinary ability to take naturally beautiful images. It feels like camera is one with his body and mind. Jon is definitely one of the most knowledgeable photographers I've ever worked with...he can captivate emotions perfectly, tell a deep story with just one shot and brings out the best in a model. He's also very friendly and fun guy to work with.

Definitely recommend and very looking forward to the next collaboration. :)

What a fantastic time I had today with Jon.

I'm very much a beginner to model photography and just starting out on my "photographic journey" but this workshop was probably the best I have attended.

Fun from start to finish and so many learning points.

Never a quiet moment, so creative and a genuine gentleman.

If you want to improve your work and learn so much look no further than the incredible Jon Downs.

Hopefully we can work together again if you are in the area.

Many, many thanks.

I had the pleasure of modelling on one of Jon's 1-2-1 tutorials. It was great fun and I'm glad to say we have many more sessions in the pipeline!

Jon stayed with me and poor Jon put up with a lot while he was here, from lack of milk to no hot water - yet he was still his wonderful full of life self. Jon is great company - he is a pleasure to be around and a pleasure to work with. His laugh is infectious! I can put up with the bad jokes, but he really is a lot of fun!

The actual tuition session went very well - John is very professional and very informative! You only have to read the reference from the delegate to see just how informative Jon was. Something along the lines of 'best workshop I have attended'. I can understand why and nothing was tooo much trouble for Jon and his ideas and suggestions are really unique. I really admire that Jon is so willing to teach everything he can -he keeps nothing back at all and simply wants to help others learn. Jon took a few demon images throughout the day and boy are they stunning shots!! Jon wasn't even trying hard, he was simply taking shots to demonstrate, yet I saw many amazing ones on the back of the camera and Jon has already edited and produced some stunning ones, which he has kindly let me use.

I had the pleasure of having some time with Jon just to chill! We had lots of fun eating Pizza and going to Harvey Nichols to take photos in the changing room with me in expensive clothes! What a blast! Shila would have been impressed. Not to mention how awesome he shots look, which is very impressive considering we were battling a very difficult lighting set up in the changing room!

Really looking forward to other sessions with Jon! he is a fab guy with lots of talent and a great person to be around! Thanks so much Jon!! Of course he's highly recommended by me!

Love Harvey Nicole xx

I received a message from Jon randomly a few days ago and luckily I was online and has absolutely nothing to do that day. So the plans began!

After about 4 messages we had our shoot planned and only a few hours later we met up and went for a walk around Princess Street.

After a few hours of lots of coffee, chats and the occasional picture we wrapped up! What a brilliant few hour it was and I really can't wait until the next time!!

Jon was a joy to work with and a great laugh! I am so happy with the outcome of the images :)

Highly recommended!!

Much love,

Eve

I had a fun and mental 2 days with Jon after he paid a flying visit to Devon! It's been a year since we last met and shot together, so it was long overdue. I'd been teasing Jon about the beautiful locations here, and he was very impressed by what we had to work with.

As ever, we giggled and snorted our way through those 2 days, and I always forget how loud his laugh his too (I swear my neighbours must have heard him!). We shot in various locations, including a brief indoor sesh at mine, and the photos looked AMAZEBALLS (as per usual) on the back of camera.

Thank you Jon for a fab time, glad you enjoyed it and that we aren't too mentally scarred! :D

Until next time my friend!

Shannie :)

Oh my Gooooood! After one year gap (almost), got a chance to see Jon again 😍❤ what take You so long, Jon? 😜😀

Last time, this gentleman made one of the best my bum pictures ever. He is really talented with it and really will wait to do it again.🍑😍

This time we invaded Cambridge streets, car parks and most importantly GREENS 😆 bare in mind we been kicked out from few places and handled a heatwave. Everything is just for cool pictures. 👍

I always been impressed about Jon's ability to see differeant angles, unexpected places for shooting and just incredible creativity. ❤ he brings something different to your portfolio.

Also, this photographer loves to laugh so much. You will never have awkward or silent moments because You will be laughing or Jon. There is no other way 😄❤

Lastly, he is very supportive and genuine. Would never let me doubt about myself and my skills.And most importantly, very protective about models safety 🤝

Strongly recommended

Jon, thank You for a good time! Glad we became friends as You are just awesome. ❤ but for F*** sake can we meet up more often than once per year? 😜😗

Big hug!
