This was the first time Lee had been at the studio, he came along to a shoot to direct models and arrange props for Exclusive Magic photography.

Lee was great fun to be around and he was always courteous to the models and maintained a professional manner throughout the day.

Great guy to be around and a great magician

100% recommendation

First time meeting Lee, he was assisting with directions and the magical illusion photo shoot!

Was a pleasure to meet him, throughout he assistant and gave direction or made suggestions as and when needed, he made sure myself and the other model were both comfortable whilst being sawn in half. Lee was very friendly and knew exactly what he was doing would recommend! X

A great opportunity to work with Lee again and always a pleasure as Lee's professionalism combined with a can do attitude and the ability to help put models at ease with the technical side of our magic illusion shoots is so valuable and appreciated.

Thank you Lee and can't wait till we team up again soon. :)

Lee and I shot together with Xclusive Magic Photography at Inspire Studios, Salisbury. Despite my lateness to the shoot due to personal issues, Lee was as upbeat as ever and really friendly to chat to! This shoot was completely unique to me being a glamorous magicians assistant - something I have always wanted to do and it was a lot of fun! Lee explained to me how each prop work and exactly what was going to happen - even if the guillotine scared the living daylights out of me :) :)

A fantastic shoot and definitely one I will not forget in a hurry! Would absolutely love to shoot again (and to see the close up magic again because it had me SHOOK!) it's a big recommendation from me! :)

Thanks for having me guys!

Lee came with xclusive magic for a whole day shoot and he was very friendly and professional as well as respectful of the sofa.

I'd happily see him back at the studio again.

Well what can I say guys first of all let me apologise for this reference being so late,

Comms from these guys where great I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was a there own magic act they was shooting for, they booked a local model Jessica Taylor they came in with all the gear took a little instruction on lighting but I could see they new what they were doing, both really nice guys the kind of people you want in your studio all the time very courteous and polite new exactly what they wanted and judging by the back of the camera was getting exactly what they wanted, if you get chance to work with these guys do it I would thoroughly recommend them, thanks again for using my studio I found it very interesting.

Lee was the genius behind the magic acts on a recent shoot I had depicting magic illusions/scenes in the form of a stills photoshoot! It was the first time I had done anything even remotely similar to this so it was mysterious ground for me, even though the communications etc. I had got from the photographer of the shoot during the discussions before the job were clear and concise with regards to everything and allowed me to prepare on my side as a model, it was totally new territory for me and I just cannot stress enough how supportive and lovely Lee and the whole team was on the day. :)

It's obviously a very specialised creative style with an unquestionable level of skill and know-how needed... And the way Lee handles his work is not only extremely professional in the sense that he know exactly what he is doing with the scenes, but he really does care a lot about the people he works with and whilst performing his magic persona' very well; he has the comfort of a model/actress at the back of his mind the whole time. So in summary: I really do recommend Lee very highly for his work and can only repeat what other models have said.

Lee and Rob (the photographer he was teamed with) deserve no end of applause for the articulate setting up that was required for the shoot! These were full-blown magician's gear sets which took up a lot of space and required careful lighting to properly feature the whole shot in it's best form. The shooting part was the easy part relative to the rest; and then on top of that Lee had to be able to work accordingly around the already space-consuming set to demonstrate the magic act. He knew exactly how to achieve the best out of each set and get the shots to portray the full awe of the scene and gave good direction to myself too for my part in posing for the shots.

Despite the complexity of the shoot and the tireless work that Lee and Rob put into the building of the sets etc. There was a lovely relaxed flow to the shoots and tea breaks encouraged throughout. Lee was so easy going and down-to-earth, before we even started shooting he gave a lovely vibe and was chatty and lovely natured which really helped to make a good atmosphere on the shoot. We had a productive time yet always found time to exchange banter and natter which just adds that element of fun to a shoot and makes the time fly - which of course, it did! He's a wonderful gent to work with also in the sense of being so respectful and professional in his approach too... He was always making sure that I was 100% okay as we worked through each of the sets, even though all had been discussed beforehand and I knew what to expect, Lee's step-by-step direction was so brilliant and he had my safety and comfort put forward as a priority at all times.

I have no end of good things to say about Lee. I'd be very happy to get the chance to work with him again in the future if the opportunity arises. :)

This was certainly something different for me , a magic shoot !!!

Lee's communication prior to and during the shoot were excellent . I was talked through every aspect to ensure that I knew what was going to happen and that I was happy and comfortable with all the aspects . Lee had also clearly thought of the styling so I knew exactly what to bring .

During the shoot , Lee was making sure that as well as getting through all his sets , he still had my comfort and safety on his mind at all times . All time was managed well so that we got through all the sets timely allowing breaks toon.

Lovley to work with you . Thank you Jessica x

What an absolutely fantastic character Lee is. He was assisting on an illusional shoot I was lucky enough to be a part of. As soon as I walked through the door Lee was chatty and very welcoming. We got on brilliantly and I would jump at the chance of working with him again.

Lee is very professional and creative and a lot of fun to work with. He is oozing ideas and knows exactly what will create the best images. He definitely looks the part with his magical talents. If you decide to work with Lee, I promise you won't regret it :)

Xclusive Magic Photography

What I can say that I haven't said already? :) But really great to meet up and shoot again with Lee on my team. It is always fun and with Lee on board then you know we are going to have professional shoot with great results.

Thanks again and look forward to our next project :)

LE'Dresden is an absolute pleasure to work with . A really friendly guy who made sure I was always comfortable while he performed his magic illusions on me ! :)

Xclusive Magic Photography

Super to collaborate on a shoot again with Lee who organised the studio and model on this one with Lee inviting me to take the photographs, with Lee in the role of performer magician. Good teamwork once again to create and complete an enjoyable and fun shooting assignment with theatrical magic illusions.

PoZersPhotography

PoZers had the absolute pleasure of hosting an illusion shoot today with the fabulous LE’Dresden. From the moment Lee contacted me about this shoot, I knew we would get on great. His pre-shoot communication was great, keeping me informed of everything that he needed from the studio, explaining what was going to happen on the day, everything in great detail, which prepared me for this unique photographic shoot.

Lee arrived with lots of props, accessories, costumes etc all required for his illusionary shoot, which was completely fascinating. We had such a laugh, he was so easy to get on with and had a great sense of humour. He was really kind, caring and considerate to the Model at all times, as a first for her, being a Magicians glamorous assistant, it was a little dauntingfor her, but Lee reassured her throughout the shoot to trust him, and she did and he didn’t let her down at all, which I knew he wouldn’t. He had her safety as his top priority throughout the displays of his illusionary props etc and explained everything in great detail. It was fascinating to watch and witness, but I’ve been sworn in, and none of Lee’s secrets to his illusions will pass my lips. What goes on in PoZers, stays in PoZers.... thank you Lee for a fabulous day, I had a great laugh, was really entertained by your illusions and fascinated with everything that happened, your secrets are safe with me and I hope to see you back at PoZers very soon, the kettles always on and my doors are always open. I can’t recommend Lee and his team enough, please don’t hesitate to work with this lovely man, if you like adventure and looking for something unique for your portfolio, then LE’Dresden is your man. Many thanks for everything. Alley.

I had the most fantastic photoshoot today with Lee & Rob today.

Their pre-shoot comms were excellent, they let me know what styles they was looking to create and on the day was lovely as ever.

Their direction was great, they had a clear idea of what they was looking for and made sure I was happy, so I felt totally at ease. Lee is very much recommended by me and I would gladly and hope to shoot with him again myself Highly reccomnded to all
