I worked with Jon again, this time at his stunning home. We had 4 hours together which flew by with a variety of changes, mad creativity and ideas! When you work with Jon, you instantly feel at ease and you know you are in the company of someone who takes such beautiful photographs!

Jon is brilliant at lighting and making that one shot. I felt so comfortable with Jon that I felt I could experiment and before we knew it, we even had created some beautiful glamour type boob shots! Well I never! :P

Jon fed me a diet of green tea, Dorritos and cakes also, which I can highly recommend. He also put up with my terrible humour and insulting banter. What a gem! Such a lovely entertaining guy! You can't help but like him, highly recommended and hope to see you soon, Helen x

I had a really fun time shooting with Jon today!

It was my first shoot with Jon and it felt like bumping into an old friend. We got along really well. He is a funny, down to Earth guy and has a real creative eye. :P

Precoms were spot on and were referred back to. Jon helped with styling and we bounced ideas off each other throughout the shoot. :)

I felt completely at ease modelling for Jon and when needed he gave me modelling direction.

Looking forward to working with him again!

Highly Recommended!

Had my second shoot with Jon at Unique Capture last weekend.

I LOVE working with Jon, he is brilliant! Not only is Jon a master at what he does, he is professional, fun and great to work with!

Jon comes with his own ideas but is open to the models input which is fantastic as you can both create fab images.

Only after a week and Jon has sent me some images, all look fantastic! What a great shoot.

Can't recommend Jon highly enough!

Thank you for a fun and fabulous shoot Jon! Xx

Where to start....... :O

Jon is INCREDIBLE! ♥

He is so easy to get on with, very chatty and mellow... and he even bought me a hot chocolate! Couldn't ask for more aha! He's a proper gentleman and is very respectful of levels :)

Jon is very creative and an absolute perfectionist (which I love!!) He is passionate about what he does and is far more talented than he realises! He goes a bit crazy when he's taken a particularly AMAZING image which was hilarious aha :p

We spent the day laughing and even created a pose called the sexy Quasimodo aha! :p

I can't wait to show off the incredible images we got and really hope I get the chance to work with Jon many more times!

Highly recommend (BOOK HIM NOW!!) :D

Thanks Jon! Hopefully see you again soon! :) xxx

I had the pleasure of working with Jon last Saturday, and am chuffed how well the shoot went. Jon was really great with his pre-shoot comms and sent a very helpful brief and mood board. Jon was professional and personable from the moment he arrived and put me at ease instantly. You can't help but like his fun and creative attitude and we worked at a productive but relaxed pace, covering his ideas, as well as him welcoming any input I may have.

Jon is a very skilled photographer with an open mind, and a great eye for a visually beautiful photograph (which you'll no doubt have seen from his work). Some brilliant work was achieved during the shoot, as well as having a very memorable and enjoyable time. I can't believe how quickly the time went.

Highly recommended to all and hope to work with him again!

Thanks,

Lizzie xx

What more can I say except....WOW!

Second shoot with Jon and this time was a zillion times better and far more enjoyable that the first time.

Jon is by far one of the most talented photographers I've worked with, his work is on another level to most.

Although he's professional, he's got a wicked sense of humour.

Already booked our next shoot, I can't wait :)

Thanks

I have had 2 shoots with Jon now, the first being a few weeks ago and then earlier this week. Both shoots have been last minute organised due to a free slot and the first shoot we had to cancel but then rearranged :) I was soo happy to get the chance to shoot with Jon after admiring his work for some time.

The really lovely thing about Jon is that he doesn't actually know he goes, he doesn't have an ego or big headed ways. Such a down to earth, fun person to be around, he makes rather funny noises some times when you are shooting like 'oooo' and 'ahhh' which I know now means he loves the shots ha ha ha!

Seriously nice person, makes you feel completely at ease and the shoots are such a blast!

Both shoots were literally 'turn up and wing it' and both times I have been overwhelmed with how amazing the images are (such of my best work) I think anyway. I really enjoy working with Jon as I feel free and comfortable to get into a flow and just do whatever comes to mind really.

Can't wait until next time.

Thank you, Tillie x

Had the immense pleasure of working with John :D What a hero!! :) He is hilarious, fun, so easy to get on with, full of cool ideas, easy going, I could go on flattering! But I mean every word, this man is a dream to work with, so I wont bang on! But highly recommended!

He is also respectful, a gentleman and lovely!

Thanks a million, full of praise & positivity for John! :D high 5! :D x

I had the absolute joy of working with Jon today. There aren't enough positive words to say about Jon, he's just a lovely fella with a great eye for a shot.

He'll tell you he takes too many head shots but that isn't true! He takes wonderful images in a range of styles and captures emotion perfectly.

I dragged Jon out to a location near by and forced him to get in the river and he didn't complain at all! He also acted calmly when we saw a dead sheep (which I think freaked us both out secretly). Above all Jon was fun to work with! He remained professional throughout the shoot and was great to talk to.

I hope to work with Jon again!

I worked with the lovely Jon yesterday in London on a fashion shoot with Silver Moon and Nicole Bobin MUA.

I had a fabulous time, and an incredible day. Jon is a lovely, friendly and hilarious gentleman. We hit it off from the start, and I really enjoyed working with him. The photographs that we took were stunning, and I am so excited to receive them.

He was a gentleman throughout the day, and I really enjoyed his company. I look forward and anticipate working with you again!

Fantastic guy. Highly recommended to any model.

I worked with Jon last weekend with Beffy and Graham Argent and he was a delight to work with, very chatty with a good sense of humour and was very complimentary of my work. I am extremely happy with the photos he has produced from the shoot, I would even say a few of them are now my favourite in my portfolio. Would definitely recommend this guy :)

What a great guy! Had an absolute RIOT with Jon on Saturday as we stumbled through some interesting flora and fauna on our quest to find a beautiful location, and we were pleasantly surprised!

We got some absolutely beautiful shots, I'm totally in awe of his talent, and how relaxed I was made to feel, especially as my phone was ringing the whole time. (haha)

Recommended 110% and hopefully will be working together in the future.

Worked with Jon again last week (5th time now??) and what more can I say? Top chap with a great sense of humour, bags of energy and loads of ideas.

I always enjoy my day shoots with Jon- we have a super time AND get amazing results.

I can't recommend Jon highly enough- looking forward to another shoot next month. :)

I had a lovely 6 hour shoot with Jon in a hotel in Milton Keynes during my trip there for a couple of days. We achieved so much in the time that we spent together, especially for the room space which actually was full of all sorts of nooks and crannies! Jon is the type of person that puts you straight at ease, make you laugh and gets the best out of you as a model. He also allows for plenty of tea breaks and makes sure you are very comfortable.

Plus, his photos are awesome! We did many different styles and I felt comfortable to be creative and mad as I wished to be! :) Highly recommended and hope we work together again soon! Next time I will stay in the area the evening before to save on the manic drive! ;) Helen x

The shots Jon has taken are fabulous! I have no hesitation in recommending Jon to any models!

I had a brilliant six hour shoot with Jon and Ade yesterday at my home.

We covered absolutely loads of ideas in the time we had and also had an absolute blast in the process.

The images I saw on the back of both Jon and Ade's camera looked just...SO COOL! I am really rather excited to see them go up! Jon is so easy to work with and full of enthusiasm!

Thank you for an great day and I hope to work with you again very soon. :)

I had a lovely six hour shoot booked with Jon on 1st May at the fantastic Unique Capture Studios!

It was our first shoot and from the first meeting with Jon he had me laughing straight away! He is very easy to work with, very approachable, respectful and fun to work with!

He made sure I had plenty of breaks to refresh which was greatly appreciated and we covered a whole range of styles and looks in time we had together. We experimented with lighting and different sets, a range of outfit changes and the photos looked beautiful!

He kept saying *Bless you*, which will forever be his nickname haha told you I would mention it! ;) )

A lovely man and I hope to work with you again soon :)

I had the most enjoyable of short shoots with Jon, whilst down in sunny Milton Keynes earlier this month.

Jon was an absolute breath of fresh air.. Amazing company, with an incredible flair for taking timeless, feminine imagery. Jon has produced one of my favorite portraits to date and I have such great memories of the day.

I very much look forward to working together again and can wholeheartedly recommend him to models alike.

100% recommended
