What else can I say about the lovely Jon that has been not said already?! Jon is an amazing charming gentleman, who knows the best how to get the raunch from us, women ;)...

After our first time together, we have planned the second shoot quite quickly.. we both thought we got some great results from our first shoot, although for me it was a first, and started preparations for our second one, which we had it yesterday. This time, even raunchier than first time!! :)

Jon is incredibly talented with his photography. He has a great eye for detail and an amazing input during the shoot ("OH MY GOD!!", you will hear this from him all throughout the shoot :)) He is very encouraging and knows how to get the best from his models..

His pre-communications are amazing and the loads of ideas he came with at the shoot was unbelievable!! We have touched base quite a lot from our mood board, but still so much left undone!! Well, this might be a reason to have him back to London again soon !! (hint hint :))

If you have the chance to work with him, just grab it with both hands. Besides the fact that you will get amazing images for your portfolio, you will get to spend an awesome time with a wonderful person who would go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and enjoy yourself at maximum. Thanks Jon for a beautiful unforgettable day. Mona xx

JON JON JON!

Well I had my second shoot with Jon and I forgot to leave him a ref and probabaly only because I was too busy chatting to him about how exciting all the photos are that we made!!

He drive myself and my MUA friend Chantelle to Nottingham to the pit and pendulum and we had such a great day of shooting!

You can see how creative he is from his photos- he is lovely to work with and I've never known someone to be so caring and always checking we were okay- if we needed more coffee or needed to stop for a break or to warm up!!

Anyway as mona has said- if you wanna shoot raunch Jon is definatley the one!! But also if you won't want to shoot raunch he's not gonna make you! Has a great eye for detail and makes every image perfect!

I love jons photography and attitude so much that I've asked him to shoot me some band promo stuff and hopefully cd cover stuff too so I get to shoot with him again soon and I'm very pleased he's excited about this too- he sends so many ideas through all the time and it's great because we bounce off ideas leading up to a shoot which makes the shoot perfect!

Work with Jon!!!!

OH MY GOD! What a creative, relaxed, artistic shoot. Jon is a top notch guy and a fantastic photographer. We had a superb shoot with 10 epic images in the bag within the first ten minutes. Jon has a wicked sense of humour. Almost as witty as me. Great enthusiasm and spontaneousness. Would 100% recommend jon and can't wait to

A) see the images

B) shoot again

Much love, em x

I was absolutely thrilled to bits when I found out that Jon wanted to shoot with me. He's been on my radar for quite some time now; and after I added him to my WTWW list, a shoot was swiftly arranged :-D.

I pointed him in the direction of my Pinterest page, where I keep my inspiration/ideas, and moodboards; and things just progressed from there. Ideas kept on flowing, and on the day of the shoot, the ideas continued to flow; so much so that we ended up running out of time, which is a perfect excuse to arrange another shoot.

I found Jon to be an absolute sweetheart, who's fun to be around, has a great sense of humour, and who's very laid back. He's also willing to listen to ideas, try things that are out of his comfort zone, and eat lots of cake - even though he says he's on a diet ;-P...........

Communication before, and after the shoot are second to none; and I'd better mention that he's also pretty nifty with a camera too ;-P.

The weather was dull, grey, and cold, but the company, ideas, and images are so worth it.

Over the moon with what I've seen so far, and I really can't wait to shoot with Jon again soon. We have sooooooooo many ideas still left to do, and it's a bonus that we're more or less on each others doorstep.

Jon, you're an absolute star. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Here's to round 2 :-D

Very highly recommended :-D

I worked with Jon and Isabella Lugosi on a shoot in Nottingham and I cannot recommend Jon enough. He is so kind hearted, genuinely friendly and very professional. He had countless ideas for our day and brings so much equipment and props anything is possible! He also had quite a few pictures ready to view on the same evening of the shoot.

Fantastic photographer, I would love to work with him again.

Where do I begin..Jon is BRILLIANT!! Pre-communications was excellent, he was professional, Has a great sense of humour and a nice person to be around. Whilst shooting Jon had plenty of creative ideas and lighting set ups that he wanted to try. He was also very good at giving directions when needed but also let me have as much input as I wanted too. Really enjoyed the shoot and managed to get an awesome set of images to add to my portfolio. Hope we are able to shoot again very soon. Definitely recommended to all! Very happy lady! :)

Well what can I say? I approached Jon for a shoot a few months ago and was instantly (and very pleasantly) surprised by the number of possibilities that he came up with for shoot ideas. :) we bounced a good few ideas around and came up with 2 or 3 plans. Since we had a couple of months prep time we were able to let these plans develop and mature such that on the day we had very few issues, and all the relevant props required.

Jon's communications were absolutely excellent, as was his hospitality, thank you very much :)

Jon is a very easy going and fun guy to work with, we enjoyed a lot of laughs and managed to fill 6 hours with no trouble at all, getting many of our planned shots and a good few more we just happened to come up with along the way. Jon is very good at explaining what he's doing and why which is great. Thoughout the shoot both of us were getting excited about the images when viewed on the back of the camera :)

I have my first edit within 4 hours, and am very very pleased with it, and massively looking forward to more :)

Thanks Jon

If you ever get a chance to work with Jon, grab it and don't let go! Highly recommended :)

Jon is amazing!

Had another incredible shoot with him last week and loved every minute of it! :)

He is so much fun to work with and made me laugh through most of the shoot.

Jon was very patient with me whilst I gave him a very thorough tour of the area... and even let me borrow his gloves to warm my hands back up after we'd been shooting on the cliff tops LEGEND!!! :D

We had a long shoot in unfortunately pretty rubbish weather but we still managed to create some amazing images that I can't wait to share with everyone!! We make an awesome team! :)

Despite his weird love for Pirate rock music... I would definitely LOVE to do many more shoots with this talented guy!! :) We've already started to discuss our next shoot (woo!!)

Thanks Jon! See you soon!! xxx

I have just had the most amazing shoot with jon.... he has made me laugh the whole day ( which is not really the look we were going for ) but I totally blame him for making me laugh constantly. we did manage to be serious on occasions and from what I saw on the back of the camera we got some absolute fabulous images !!! literally cant wait to see them. jon is extremely professional, very creative, has amazing ideas, and a totally awesome guy.. we seemed to be on the same wave length and I was completely at ease the whole time.... I cant recommend jon highly enough and you would definitely be missing out if you don't get to shoot with him. thanku for today jon and I hope we get to shoot together soon. angel p xxxx

I had my very first shoot with Jon last week and it really was epic! :D

I was met on time at the station and immediately fed at the nearest Costa, after which we got started on the first part to our shoot..\

Jon was very impulsive, creative and fun to shoot with which I love and he was also such a great laugh, looked after me and didn't keep me out in the cold for too long.

Onto the indoor shoots we got lots of ideas done, some erotic work, art nude and some quirky and alternative stuff. It was brilliant and Jon had so much energy whilst shooting it was incredible...more than me anyway :P

Unfortunately I did fall ill a couple of hours before we were due to finish and Jon was so understanding and patient with me! So a big thank you for looking after me :)

Looking at the images on the back of the camera, they looked feckin awesome and I can't wait to see more of the final results! :D

Thank you for such a fantastic first shoot and I sure hope this isn't our last! (I'll try not to be ill next time :P ).

Seventh shoot with this nutter-!! haha ;) And another super one focusing on a more vintage and moody feel at my place.

Really enjoyed shooting with both Jon and Ellie again- loving the results as ever. Some amazing shots! This guy is getting better and better!

Hope to see you in 2015 :)

Well what is there left to say about this amazingly awesome photographer... I just adore jons photography skills, he is constantly thinking outside of the box.

Jon has the best personality which makes working with him far more enjoyable.....just oozing awesomeness Mr Downs :)

Won't be the last time I say this but Thank you so much for another great shoot xxxx

This was my first shoot with Jon and I knew from the first message that we would get along! I went in shot in his home and he was very hospitable as soon as I arrived and even shared some cookies with me- very impressed that he knows how to share.... Haha- but seriously he's so creative and ridiculously enthusiastic and not to mention hilarious! I think we laughed the whole day! He was so gentlemanly when it came to levels- he asked the questions in ways that's de me feel comfortable- and I felt that my comfort and enjoyment was his priority and he really made it a great day! I hope we shoot again soon and I can't wait to see the photos- I just know they are going to be incredible!

Thanks Jon!! Highly reccomend!

I have finally shot with the lovely and talented Jon Downs today and I don't know if I have enough space here to write my reference for him!! :) From the moment we have met at the station until the day ended, I have enjoyed every second spent working together with this lovely gentleman.

We haven't planned the shoot to much, but we did book it ages ago.. I was just so looking forward.. I have admired his port for a while now, and was so happy that I will finally shoot with him. As you can see, his work is outstanding and his unique style (bodyscapes, abstracts, gorgeous portraits) just lets you speechless.. that's quite amazing, taking into consideration the fact that he has only started shooting models from March last year!!

This shoot for me was a great experience.. from more points of view..besides the fact that I have worked with a wonderful person (funny as ever!!!), the type of the shoot was unique so far for me ;-) We were bouncing ideas back and forward during the shoot and Jon created some stunning images of me (and raunchy as ever! :))

If I recommend him? Wholeheartedly !! If I would shoot with him again? I would jump at the chance for a second shoot with him.. Beautiful day in my life :) Thank you Jon for making it possible! Mona :) x

Jon is by far one of the best photographers I've worked with. He is extremely professional and a total gentleman but most of all he's absolutely amazing to be around. Jon has an awesome personality and great sense of humour which makes shooting with him enjoyable and totally chilled.

Jon is full of ideas but always happy to take on the models ideas too. I could honestly work with this guy 24hrs a day 7 days a week.

If you've not worked with Jon already then I would highly recommend you get in touch with him as his images would really boost your port.

Can't wait to shoot again

Thanks

I has my first shoot with Jon earlier this week. We had planned our theme in advance and Jon kindly sorted out the studio and MUA.

Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with - polite, hospitable (bringing yummy treats), encouraging and laid back. I was very impressed with some of the images on the back of the camera and look forward to seeing the edits.

*** Highly recommended ***

Thank you Jon for a great shoot.

What a lovely guy !!! Shooting with Jon again next Saturday so he obviously he gave me a good first impression. Shame about the weather we shot for an hour on location and was a delight to work with him.

I would recommend Jon 100% he was great with direction as well as a skilled photographer. It helped we both worked together very well too. We also got some fantastic results im very happy with them. And can't wait to create more work together. Thank you Jon Antonella Imbimbo.
