Had another fantastic tutorial with Jon and Theresalouise at Virtuosity studios, he'd already been in and made sure the heating was on and he ready to go from the start, he has so many ideas and suggestions, he kept it very relaxed answered any questions I had and kept the drinks flowing as well while I was shooting, after the shoot we spent an hour editing which he explained all the way from start to finish, if anyone's thinking of booking him for a tutorial just do it you won't be disappointed and I'd happily book another with him.

Foto-Retro Photography

I had the pleasure of Jon attending my studios for a Tutorial with Theresa Louise & Trevor, the photographer He arrived as planned, with Theresa. As ever all there is to say is total professional in all aspects of his photography and all things associated with it.A total gentleman & there are not many of us left! A great asset to any studio owner, I can not recommend him enough.

Have just enjoyed a 1-2-1 Tutorial with Jon and Theresa Louise (an amazing model). What a day, so many great images I am still buzzing.

Jon is so creative and full of ideas, I went with an open mind.... good job too, so much to take, definitely worthwhile booking a tutorial.

Not only is Jon full of knowledge, new ways to look at every shot, but he is able to teach, share his thoughts and reasons behind some of the new angles he was suggesting. We also managed an hour of editing after the shoot.

I don't think I have ever learned so much in a day. A dip into Jon's portfolio gives some idea of what Jon is capable of...

Must stress that all this was achieved in a wonderfully relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Thanks again, to both Jon and Theresa.

Another fabulous shoot with Jon split over 2 days.

As always perfect shots that differ from my port.

Went out and braced the cold and wind on location and again, smashed it and I love the images :D

Always guaranteed with Jon. A Natural eye always helps.

Thanks again Jon. Your a star!!

Highly recommended as always with 5 stars *****

I've just had my first tutorial with Jon and the lovely Theresa Louise at my place.

I had been looking forward to it a lot and not only did it meet my expectations, it exceeded them in bucket-loads.

Jon is a delight to work with and it felt relaxed from the moment he walked through the door. He has a natural teaching style and is clear in his responses to any questions and knows what to add to give a full and rounded answer.

My brief for Jon had been a bit 'woolly' but a quick discussion set us off on the right track. By the end of the session I had lots of images which were just what I'd been after and tons of general tips about shooting with models that will be used in the future.

I said this was my first tutorial, I don't think it will be my last.

Many thanks Jon.

Just came back from a shoot with Jon today. I would say the whole shoot it is both an adventure and enjoyable experience. Creative, friendly, feeling about beauty, lots of words to describe him. It is really a pleasure to work with Jon.

wonderful experience to be creative together.

Had my first tutorial with Jon and Theresa on Monday, Jon Was friendly with a cracking sense of humour Nothing was too much trouble, he answered all my questions, He is extremely creative and I'd have never come up with some of his ideas or how he does things. I learned more on that day than I have in a long time on my own, highly recommended and I will will defiantly book more.

Reference x3 lol!

More tutorials with this legend! Got to put up with him another 4 times next week ;)

Love ya long time :) xxxxx

Yet another awesome shoot with this incredibly talented photographer.

Nothing is ever too much effort, doesn't moan about anything. Makes use of the natural light and space he has around him and as others have said....A complete legend in the photography industry.

This guys camera work is incredibly, 90% of his shots are done in camera. I watch him edited all the time and it literally takes him 5/10 minutes to edit one image ... This is a true pro!

Many are inspired by jons work and feel the need to replicate but until your image is 90% done in camera...your no where near his level!

Keep smashing it my camera hugging hubby ;)

Love T

So I finally got to work with Jon after wanting to work with him for ages and it was flippin awesome!

Jon is so easy to get along with, great sense of humour and very talented with a camera. We booked a lovely little cottage with great natural light and once we got there we got cracking.

We got so many awesome images, I am super chuffed looking through them on the camera. I'm pretty sure Jon was happy with them too from all the excitement he expressed. Be prepared for banter though as he doesn't hold back the laughter when there's a duff image :D

I would love to work with Jon again, I had such a fun and productive day. I highly recommend.

OK .....so as everyone knows this man is a legend and i got the utmost pleasure of working with him yet again (well u can't say no to a legend can u x )!!!! well what can i say .....i think jon wishes he had said no to shooting with me ha ha ha ha ha ha .....

When you put me and Marla pandora together to shoot then there is always going to be trouble, wickedness and total craziness x so jon left feeling just a little battered i think ....

It might be a while before he comes back to visit me ..think he's going away for a couple of months to recuperate !!!!

Anyway as always i totally lurve this man and i always enjoy every shoot we have and always very much look forward to the next ..

See you next year jon for more wickedness.....he he he ( and no , your not going to say no to me, you will be coming back !!) lol

I had the pleasure of working with Jon while he was In chesterfield last week..

Jon is an awesome photographer with loads of amazing ideas and imagination, he is friendly & welcoming and he also kindly collected & dropped me off at the train station.

I would highly recommend Jon and I would love to work with him again! :) x

Wow, where do I start!

Jon has something unique about his photography, the way he is so relaxed with models and is able to capture the precise moment. I wanted to know how he is able to do this in such limited light.

I finally got round to attending a class of his yesterday whilst photographing Theresa (also extremely gifted and professional)! Jon is so full of character, very creative and a great teacher! I left the day with so many new and fresh ideas, now I can't wait to get more shoots booked in to try them out :)

Thank you very much Jon for an amazing master class! No matter where you live, his classes will make it worth your journey and cost! Highly recommended :)

Much love

Jon as we all know is a total pleasure to work with,layed back and damn good fun.I do look at the images afterwards and wonder how we created such magic from what was being shoot this man is a complete talent .

Love working with him, look forward to creating more amazing images.

Attended a Natural Light Workshop run by Jon at the home of Marla Pandora, model. Jon is friendly, welcoming and gets on with everyone. Nothing was too much trouble. He was relaxed, informative and extremely creative. Loved his ideas and way of going about things. He reinvigorated my desire for creativity. He was even relaxed about the fact I fell asleep during the afternoon! Highly recommended.

Amazing! Jon is so super chilled / great at his job that the time totally flies past. The pictures we made look flipping stunning on the back of the camera (even the ones that PP cant handle - because they are way way too sexy)

PLUS he bought me a can of irn-bru ♥

Epic epic epic!

Shooting with Jon is always a creative whirlwind of an experience with lots of laughs and usually some starbucks thrown in as well! I love his unique approach to lighting and composition, his recognisable style and boundless enthusiasm. I also love it when he buys me pizza.

Until next time ♥

Studio Fifty Eight

Studio Fifty Eight had the pleasure of hosting Jon Downs for his recent booking with Harley Monster. He found some very interesting ways of working in the studio and looking forward to hosting him again soon. Will have to buy my fingers though!! Chocolate ones!! Cheers Jon.

Jon is sent by Gods :)))

So this is the story: I was shooting with Drew and in the middle of the photo shoot his camera got broken. And here showed up Jon with his camera and saved our photo shoot. He even joined Drew and made some pictures (love love love). Oh Oh I forgot to mention that he showed up with coffee for all of us and even dropped me to the station 9all the shooting was full of jokes and banters).

Its impossible not to love him. ♥

He is one of the most respectful and fun to work with photographers, I have ever met. :))

We already having planned a really cool photo shoot and cant wait to work with him again!

Dear Jon, sorry for a late reference. you are awesome xx I promise to make less fun of You. NOT :PPPP

thanks for everything! xx

Muchos love,

Jack ;) x
