Had a wonderful shoot with Jon in Brighton shooting a mix of corsets, gowns lingerie and always a lot of laughter and silly humorous antidotes, NIN and binge watching the new Pam and Tommy series, already got our plan down for the next shoot in October, no pressure there Jon, ok maybe a little bit

It’s always nice shooting with a mate :-)

Just had my 1st shoot with Jon. I really hope it will be the 1st of many. I reached out to Jon a while back as I'm a big fan and we eventually managed to get together in Brighton at a beautiful hotel suite.

1st off we had such a great laugh.

He was a pleasure to be around and the images I saw blew my mind!

Can't wait to see the end results!

Jon made me feel so comfortable, I felt beautiful and confident throughout. With many goosebump/omg moments!! 😊

Jon is a huge talent and i was so honoured to work with him.

I've worked with Jon at least a dozen times now, which speaks more to his patience and tenacity than 400-odd references ever could. Most recently we shot at Aura in Northampton, followed by an impromptu wander around Milton Keynes the following day.

Jon is one of my favourite people to work with because of his incredible versatility. He can shoot absolutely anything, anywhere, with any light; slap it upside the head with his signature wonky angles and blurry bokeh shit and it'll work! Over the years we've shot on busy beaches, in thunderstorms, cluttered kitchens, bright sunlight, wardrobes, high streets, in the dark, in heatwaves, on art installations and much more - no one can 'find' the shot like Jon can.

He's an absolute diamond and I count myself very lucky every time we shoot.

This was my 2nd (technically 3rd haha) shoot with Jon and oh my god, he is just such a joy to work with! I adore working and spending time with Jon - he is truly one of a kind. Absolutely lovely guy who is also insanely talented and a great conversationalist. I would 100% recommend working with Jon if you get a chance, you will have a blast :)

What an excellent guy and tutor!

This was my first time meeting Jon and I was impressed from the start as to his procedure to create excellent imagery. I replied to one of his castings for a workshop and I learnt a lot that day, and would certainly look forward to meeting him again in the future.

100% recommend.

🎞 Kempston Studio [Studio Hire, Bedford] 🎞

Although I have worked with Jon (and Theresa) before this was Jon's first visit to the studio doing his Creativity Workshop.

Jon is passionate about his photography and it really shows through when he is talking to the photographers.

Jon works great with Theresa and nothing is set in stone and the event is very fluid with laughs and jokes all round but some great images produced in the process.

I would love to have Jon back to do another workshop in the future.

Definitely recommended for some amazingly different shots

He's pretty fricking awesome, even when he's telling me to shut the f**k up and eat my ice-cream 😜🤣

I attended one of Jon & Theresa’s creative workshops yesterday, as a complete beginner to photography they were both extremely helpful, informative and resourceful.

Jon and Theresa’s relationship made the entire workshop an absolute delight to be at. Had a great time and picked up a lot of useful creative techniques.

Highly recommend and looking forward to working with both of them again soon.

I attended one of Jons workshops at the kempston studio and had a great day. I thought I might be out of my depth a little bit but everything was well explained and I learnt lots. Jon was really easy going and fun to be around, I hope to attend another one soon.

Thanks for a really enjoyable morning.

It's been such a long time I've seen this lovely face! Too long!

I'm so glad Jon reached me out to invite for a coffee meet and photography. I have always enjoyed Jon's company, his pictures and always positive energy. This meet up meant that it's going to be a one awesome day!

Jon drove all the way to Cambridge and was very patient while I was late. We were so lucky to have all this sunshine and end up going to a beautiful Wandlebury park in Cambridge. Oh my days! It was such a beautiful location and perfectly worked for the awesome Jon's portraits . What impressed me the most is his ability to see amazing shots everywhere (and by everywhere I mean it)! That's a talent of a great artist. Let's not forget Jon's blast of creativity and infectious laugh. On top of creating beautiful art we also had a nice walk, lovely conversations and lots of coffee. What else model could want ?

I worked with Jon for many years and can truly call him a friend . He is very supportive and protective for models, a genuinely nice person to spend time with and a top notch photographer. Recommended x1000000.

Dear (crazy) Jon. Thank you for being you. You are a one awesome human being. Please never change. P.s. good luck with your man cave's build. It's going to be interesting to hear about the final version of it !

Lots of love, Rose

Finally had the pleasure to work with the incredible Jon Downs!! 🙌

And what a amazing shoot it really was definitely worth the wait! Not only is he very professional and creative in his photography he is such a lovely guy so funny and I felt completely relaxed and very comfortable working with him!

The shots on the back of the camera were already insane 😳 cannot wait to see the finish shots!!

I love how we both had the same simular ideas what we wanted to shoot in! If you have not done a shoot with Jon you need too 1000% recommend 👌

Oh and the lovely refreshments too not forgetting the frothy possibly lumpy mocha 😅

Again thank you and I hope we can shoot again!!

I have worked with Jon 3 times now and I love his personality (his sense of humour) what he brings to the shoot. He is always enthusiastic about everything and we always have a great laugh too. His very professional and knows what he wants from the shoot. I highly recommend Jon 110%. Thank you so much for an amazing shoot and I hope there is a lot more to come.

The Master hasn't lost it!! Attending another of Jons workshops with his lovely Mrs (Theresa). If you think photography workshops are just the tutor showing off or it's a bit boring watching and making notes - you haven't been to Jons workshop. Informal, fun, good laugh and ALWAYS learn something to improve your work AND this time free gifts. Jon is generous with his knowledge and answers any questions you ask AND both he and Theresa are nice people to spend time with. Thanks, Guys....I will be back for more!!!

I attended Jon's excellent workshop yesterday and took away several important learning points. Jon was happy to share the secrets that create that magic that makes the beautiful images that we see on his portfolio. Jon was also an astute coach, spotting areas where we could improve whilst we were shooting. We were also taken to parts of our camera that we hadn't seen before! All in all, an enjoyable and rewarding morning. I recommend this workshop to photographers of all abilities. Thank-you Jon.
