I fell in love with Jake's work at first glance and felt very honoured to work with him. Communication was great building up to the shoot, I felt very relaxed during the shoot and I think that shows in the images. Such a talented guy, one of the best photographers I've worked with!

I had a shoot with Jake this week after lots and lots planning, and I must say, it was definitely worth the wait! His pre-communication was bang on, he replied to every message promptly and made sure everything was clear in regards to outfits, concepts and posing. He already knew his lighting set up and provided me with a lot of inspiration.

If you have an idea, Jake will make it happen and put his unique twist on it. Looking at his work you know this is never a bad thing!

He is welcoming, accommodating and is fast in regards to getting the shot! He even made sure I was happy with the images before moving on to another look. We managed to get through 3 looks in a couple of hours and it really was an absolute pleasure.

Jake is a very passionate man who will go out of his way to get you some fantastic photos. What more could you ask for? I hope to work with him in the future, and would recommend him fully to anyone that gets the chance to work with him.

I had the great pleasure of working with Jake on Sunday. He is simply a total joy to spend time with. His technical expertise is second to none - he is very focussed, organised and quite obviously hugely talented. I very much hope that I get the opportunity to work with him again.

I recently shot with Jake at a manor house shoot where we had a small team of us working together. He is ridiculously talented, and a technical perfectionist. He was using techniques I haven't seen before and made sure that he was totally happy with everything before starting the shoot which meant the results (even just seeing them from the back of the camera) looking stunning. Not only this but he is very friendly, easy to get on with and gives excellent direction whilst also letting the model input her own ideas.

I can't wait to see the final images. I know they're going to be brilliant. If anyone has the chance to work with Jake, they should take it without hesitation-your portfolio will be very happy!!

Well, well, well.. Lucky me! I had the pleasure of shooting with Jake who- if you have eyes- you will know, is bloody brilliant! He creates stunning stunning images and I got to see the process. He knows what he is doing and thinks things out, using genius unique techniques~ these beautiful images are no accident!

Pre-shoot communication was fantastic, Jake had great ideas and is very knowledgeable of how styling and lighting interact and how we can manipulate this to create the best looks (like I said, he knows what he is talking about!) which is really helpful for models sourcing outfits that will work.

Another thing that I really admired about Jake is his fresh thinking creativity, he also enthusiastically took on ideas of mine and made them real... and better than they where in my head!

As a person hes chilled out, down-to-earth and humble while also being switched-on, aware with an intelligent aura, a great personality to work with.

And if your trying to guess what he looks like - He totally looks like a Jake!

Jake was easy going, friendly and great to work with today.

I enjoyed seeing brief glimpses of what we were creating on the viewfinder. Can't wait to see the finished results! Honestly I haven't felt as positively about a shoot as I did today, for a long time. How refreshing! It was a real pleasure to work with a true creative professional. Rare these days! I would definitely work with him again & would recommend him 1000%.

Thanks Jake!

I had an awesome shoot with Jake today! He is so professional and yet so friendly and pleasant to be around, a real laugh! He has a real understanding of photography and tried out a variety of different lighting set ups and effects. He really participated in the ideas and the stylising of the shoot and it was a real collaborative effort! Jake is able to direct a model very well as well as listen to a model's input. His photography skills are fantastic and the images we achieved were stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him!
