I had the pleasure of working with both John & his friend Don on a fantastic shoot, and I highly recommend them both! Pre-shoot communication with John was excellent, and from the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Both John and Don are incredibly creative, and their use of elements and props really added a unique flair to the vintage & modern style series we were shooting. They have a great eye for detail and work well together, making the process smooth and enjoyable. That made it easy to experiment with different ideas, and they were open to collaboration and my own ideas. I’d love to work with them again!

Thanks again John —

I worked with John for the second time. Him and his friend Don booked me and hired a studio in London. His pre- shoot communication was great and very organised.

The shoot was very relaxed. John and his friends created different set ups and lighting and took it in turns to shoot. We bounced ideas around and he let me pose away and freestyle.

Unfortunately to no fault of Johns, the studio was a bit lacking in facilities (none of us had been there before so we didn't know what to expect) but John popped out to sort everything and bought some water, other drinks and toilet roll (as there was none in the studio) and John also had some snacks so he was prepared and quickly sorted out anything we didn't have. Greatly appreciated.

I've been speaking to John for quite a while and have admired his work for a long time. Pre-shoot communication was fantastic. John is thorough and detailed on the theme and ideas of what he wanted to shoot. So I knew what was expected and what to prepare for.

The photoshoot ended up being a group shoot from his camera club. It was my first group photoshoot. The experience was fantastic. John is an intelligent and competent photographer and he has an outstanding knowledge of photography. Watching him give advice and educate other photographers was inspiring.

John and the group provided instructions clearly on what they wanted from me and the photos shot by the group were all outstanding. It was so much fun working with the group.

I hope to work with John again soon.

Enjoyed working with John and the photography group all of them were very friendly. Also allowing my pose freely with the minimal direction we managed to get some fantastic images.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to John for allowing me to model for your group. Hope I get the chance to work with you and your team again in the near future.

I am very happy with my group shoot with John and all our beautiful team,that was really amazing 👏John met me at the station and drove me to the studio where we spent 3,5 amazing hours shooting together and having a fun. I can say I felt friendly and warm atmosphere throughout the shoot, everyone of the photographers was very professional, helpful with the directions and always encouraging with the kind words. I am very grateful John for the invitation me to shoot there, all his friends are amazing. John was radiating great mood and we even managed to take some cool shots outdoor. Many great photos were taken during our shoot and the main thing we were really enjoying it. We used a lot of probs and tried different looks.

Thanks a lot, looking forward to be back there and to shoot with John again

Highly recommended, 100%

Arranged a model day with John and some other photographers who were all absolutely lovely. The shoot was very relaxed, no stress whatsoever. Pre coms were good and outfits were discussed. John also arranged a lift for me to be picked up and dropped back at the station. Recommend working with John!

I had the privilege to be chosen by John for an afternoon shooting with his camera club. I was great fun! Everyone was so lovely and the day had been clearly well organised by John.

John made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout the shoot. John had brilliant pre shoot coms we discussed outfits and concepts.

I was lucky enough to have a few minutes to shoot with John also. John gave great direction but was also happy for me to go with it. John was also very prompt with sending me the pictures from himself and other members that attended.

100 recommend and look forward to working with John again.

It was a pleasure to model for John and the others in the camera club at one of their regular sessions. Communication was excellent prior to the shoot and on the day. John was very professional, organised and made me feel welcome, well briefed and looked after throughout. Everyone was polite, respectful, clear with their direction and interacted in a way that put me at ease. The photographers had enthusiasm, skill and creative ideas which resulted in great images. The studio is professionally run, spacious, fully equipped and has excellent private space, changing, dressing, toilet and shower facilities for models. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and would highly recommend John, the camera club and the studio.

We have arranged the shoot with John for camera club and it was an amazing evening with such nice people, I really enjoyed. John gave me all the necessary information, carefully answered all my questions. Everything was on time and perfectly organised. I have had an awesome evening! I didn't notice how the time passed. I have met a lot of creative and amazing people. I would definitely recommend John! I hope we will work together very soon.

I had a very enjoyable shoot with John and his camera club gang on Monday. The pre communication was excellent and I was welcome by some very enthusiastic photographers who created a great atmosphere in the studio. Everyone had their own vision and approach and was keen to create something unique. I received clear and helpful directions while my ideas were welcome as well. John has already forwarded me photos from most club members and I am so pleased with the results.

100% recommended!

Thanks again for having me :)

I had a wonderful shoot at the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society. I was greeted with a very warm welcome, an excellent and well organised studio, and marvellous enthusiasm amoungst the photographers. The work was fun and a good time was had by all. Highly recommended !

Had a very enjoyable shoot with John and the rest of the members of his camera club a few weeks ago. Pre communication with John was excellent so I knew exactly what to expect and how to prepare; all photographers were uniquely creative with great ideas, and captured some fantastic shots. The studio itself is excellent - spacious, well equipped, ample parking and a fab dressing room. I was kept very entertained and looked after by all, and would love to work for John and his camera club again. Highly recommended.

I worked with Jon recently at one of his studio events with several photographers. Communication was very good and Jon kindly picked me up from Richmond station, which saved me a journey in some awful weather! The studio evening ran smoothly and all the photographers who attended were lovely. Its well organised and was a really fun evening that I would be more than happy to do again :)

I shot with John who is the Organiser for the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society on the evening on the 8th April. I found all communication to be excellent and I was picked up and dropped off at nearby Richmond Station. I found the evening most enjoyable and the time went very quickly. I would recommend highly.

Thank you John and your Group. It was a pleasure.
