I had my second shooting with Lee yesterday and it was another amazing shooting experience.

This photographer is just playing in his own league. What makes work with Lee so special is the fact that he is a constant learner and never stops pushing himself to achieve even better results.

This time we worked with 3 sets Lee was already experienced with; our work stretched from simple/professional full body shots á la business style over beautiful/mysterious to quirky.

The most quirky set we kept to the end - and this was a complete new one for Lee as well. I was really excited working with this one > too many ideas to shoot :-P

The images looked already amazing on the back of the camera but after editing I think I'll be speechless... again...

Thanks so much Lee for your magic

No doubt: One of the most recommended photographers by myself

Wow! What a fantastic first shoot with the amazing LRM Photography yesterday. As soon as I arrived he was offering me drinks,food and whatever I needed before we started shooting. Was a lovely and relaxed shoot from start to finish! I actually did something rather different for a change. I shot some stunning fashion and did some hair videos! Had a wonderful time! LRM Photography was so lovely,chatty,respectful and friendly from the get go! Another bonus was travelling light,as LRM Photography had an amazing wardrobe of beautiful clothes for me to choose from. So didn’t have to bring much at all! I was so so happy and excited to see the images we created together, and it was refreshing trying new styles. Would highly recommend LRM Photography,and I can’t wait to choose and go through my stunning new images! Will definitely be coming back to shoot with LRM Photography! He is truly wonderful and his studio was beautiful. Absolute pleasure working with you! Hopefully see you soon! One hundred percent was worth the travel! Can’t wait to share our amazing images with you all and include something very different in my portfolio. X

I worked with Lee for the first time in March as a Makeup Artist, and was taken aback by his welcoming attitude and professionalism.

From the moment I stepped into the studio, throughout the shoot, and when it was time to leave, I felt comfortable and energised by Lee. He is one of the best photographers I have worked with to date.

What makes Lee unlike the others is his strive for perfection, timekeeping and gentle personality. I would love to work with Lee again, I would highly recommend him to any other makeup artists and models!

Long overdue reference this one. My third shoot with Lee. I can confidently say Lee is one of my favourite photographers. Top 3. An incredibly well equipped, talented and overly generous man. His studio has everything a model can ever dream of needing for a photoshoot and beyond. A walk in closet filled with lovely outfits. All sorts of hair and beauty products you can imagine. Food prepared to your liking (Lee always asks for the models' dietary requirements prior to the shoot). Top notch hospitality.

As a photographer, both his photography and editing are elite. Every time I shoot with Lee I can be rest assured I'll receive brilliant images. Our main focus was commercial skincare portraits this time. Incredible beauty lighting setup. Just a few snaps and I got exactly what I wanted. Amazing attention to detail in the editing process, timely delivery (I received the final images in a week). I have nothing to fault at all in terms of Lee's skills and professionalism.

Overall, Lee is definitely a photographer I'll continue to shoot regularly with. He's simply one of a kind. Extremely and highly recommend. I can't wait to shoot with him again.

WOW! What a fantastic second shoot. Had an amazing two days photo & video shooting with Lee. He even hosted me too.

Can’t believe it was a year since me and Lee’s last shoot wow how time flys!! Upon my arrival Lee was welcoming to me, he’s the best host ever and has loads of food and drinks. I had my own beautiful room with a double bed & fresh towels a makeup area with light up mirror too!!!

Lee is super friendly and chatty and easy to get on with. He’s has the most incredible wardrobe and is phenomenal at making his own sets. He’s so creative and takes the most flattering images with the models comfort in mind. Time flew by too quickly as we created such amazing content.

When I got sent the images I was blown away wow! Such a confidence boost too feel good about myself and to be captured in such a flattering way.

More than recommended!! Would love to shoot with Lee again in the future.

I shot with Lee again at his home studio yesterday before my flight to Slovakia 🇸🇰

He’s about 30 mins from stanstead airport so ideal for any models flying in or out of stanstead

I love to catch up with Lee he’s not only one of my favourite photographers but one of my favourite friends too. We’ve known one another for a very long time and he’s always a trusted person for me.

Anyone who knows Lee will tell you he has a heart of gold. He’s a lovely human. You’d be privileged to work with such a gent

Until next time Lee ❤️

I had my first shoot with Lee yesterday and I was simply blown away by the professionalism, creativity and kindness of this photographer.

Lee started with a tour through his house where you hear yourself constantly say 'WOW' to the amazing studio, wardrobe, better to say costume department ;-) full with beautiful dresses, quirky clothes and outstanding headpieces and jewellery; continuing in the kitchen and the snack bar, which every coffee shop would be envious of. The model finds a spacious guest room and bath room for herself on the upper floor. Of course even the drawers of the dressing table are filled with everything you can imagine - so, don't worry if you forget an eyebrow pencil at home ;-)

Our shooting was a wonderful session covering portraits, a dark fashion outfit shoot, a fairy tale and quirky set.

I absolutely love the way Lee works - building up the perfect set, knowing his lighting so well and always finding the right lens. He often goes a bit more into technical details and explains the editing he will do afterwards. I can only repeat myself: highly professional and just every models dream how to work.

Lee lets you throw in your poses, but also gives creative inputs.

Time was flying and we couldn't even cover 2 ideas we would need more time for. But, as Lee warned me as soon as he gave me the tour, every model wants to come back: Right! The next shooting is already in our calendars :-)

If I have to rate this photographer it would be an 11 out of 10 ;-)

Lee, thank you so much for working with me :-)

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

After six (?) years, Lee & myself finally got a chance to reunite, and plan a brilliant day of creativity, chats, well picked snacks, and fabulous lighting - as always, Lee was extremely organised when I rocked up in the morning, he gave me a wee tour of the house/studio/walk in wardrobe of wonders, then we sat down to catch up & plan. Started with a beautifully lit one light set up, mono portraits, put on some shiny bits from the extensive walk in wardrobe collection, then wore pink for the first time in yonks, did a little homage to Barbie; went on to raiding the wardrobe once again, for the most exquisite gold outfit, fit for posing on a gorgeous vintage chest, and squeezed in some of the most stunning portraits that had been captured of moi. 😱 We sat down afterwards to review the images, and holy crap, it was SO damn difficult to pick the best ones! WHAT A SHOOT.

Lee is one of the most organised, respectful, kindest souls in the photographic community - made me feel right at home, created a delicious vegan meal in the evening, and has turned the spare room in his house, into a tranquil little bedroom/changing room, where models often stay the nights before or after shooting, to make life easier. It’s like a safe space away from home! So was an incredibly comfortable stay over too - one of the first shoots of 24 was the best. Thank you Lee!

Would highly recommend this fellow to all models & creatives, an absolute diamond of a person.

After rescheduling a shoot earlier in the year, I got to work Lee for the first time this month and I don't think I could of asked for a better shoot to end the year on! I went for the weekend so we could spend the Saturday shooting and the time still flew by.

Lee was a lovely and welcoming host, with a guest room and home studio organised to perfection. The pre-comms were excellent, making sure he planned dietary requirements, with as much tea available as I could want. As far as first meetings go, I knew it was going to be a good shoot but I felt so comfortable, I'm not surprised models keep going back to work with him again! He was also patient with my current migraines playing up and made sure I was well fed. We didn't need to rush through the shoot and we still ended up with an abundance of images to choose from.

The wadrobe also deserves a mention with a beautiful range of looks, dresses, wigs and more... Including the most amazing corset I've ever seen. You'll never run out of ideas here. And don't stress about packing spare make-up/toiletries he has it all just in case!

I am in awe of his attention to detail both behind the scenes and with his images. He was also more than happy to shoot Christmas and Velma cosplay sets, finding backgrounds and props to suit the theme, talking me through his editing ideas to make the images pop. Thank you Lee for an amazing shoot and more. I can highly recommend working with him and I would love to come back again soon!

I had my first shoot with Lee in his very own home studio. Lee welcomed me into his home, giving me a tour of his studio that is filled to the brim with clothes, accessories, shoes, head pieces, jewellery, makeup. He has a very relaxed attitude to the shoot, no rushing. He puts the models needs and wants first. Lee was very chatty and very nice. He puts a lot of effort into his work. He changes background after each set. He has endless backdrops and props. He is very prepared. His stunning work is all over the wall, which makes you not stop looking at them. I posed for his many lenses and saw a selection of the images on the camera screen. He is one of the most respectful photographers I have ever met. He is very easy to talk to and get along with. I look forward to working with Lee again. Highly recommended :)

A second fab shoot with Lee- a fair few years after the first one!

As before, Lee was very considerate in making sure there was a huge amount of snacks and refreshments on offer, and pre comms clear and easy.

Lee's work speaks for itself, and it's impossible to come away from the shoot anything other than exceptionally happy with what you see on the camera! The images looked really phenomenal- and that's before the editing lol.

And that wardrobe is amazing!

Would love to come back next year and do more

Thabks so much for a great day

I shot with Lee several times in the past few years and after a long time we shot again and I can only saw how delighted I am for having the opportunity to work with a Photographer such as Lee!

Lee is an absolute top Photographer in all levels: in the technical and in the practical sense. He knows all his lighting for Portraits, his compositions, the colors and moods he wants to go for. He doesn't take many pictures of the same set because the ones he does are great straight away.

I am very happy to have worked with Lee again and I am sure we will work together again in 2024 and I cannot wait!!

Brilliant shoot with Lee at his studio in Cheshunt. Lee's pre-comms were perfect. He gave me all the information I needed in a clear and professional format. His instagram provided visuals of what the studio looked like, the amazing wardrobe and BTS from his shoots.

To begin our shoot we sat down to discuss the shoot plan which also gave us sometime to chat. Lee had come up with some really creative ideas for our time together and had moodboard pictures to accompany the plan.

We managed to get through a variety of the sets in the shoot plan, I really enjoyed the variety in the sets. What I enjoyed even more is Lee's extensive wardrobe and headpiece collection. He allowed me to search through the wardrobe and headpieces for outfits that would work well with our sets. It was really lovely and refreshing to be given wardrobe freedom, as well as the ability to travel light!

I was super impressed with Lee's studio space and how accommodating it is. Lee has everything you can think of that a studio would need! An impressive wardrobe, great studio set up, a great space to do makeup in and all the beauty/make-up accessories that you may forget if you're travelling from far.

Lee is a highly professional photographer, I could really tell how passionate he is about his photography as we talked about the different sets we had planned.

I highly recommend Lee and look forward to any possibility of working with Lee again in the future!

I had the privilege of reunite with Lee for the second time, and it was yet another exceptional experience. Lee's warm and welcoming personality immediately put me at ease, just like the first time. He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort by offering a delightful spread of food, beverages, and snacks, making me feel right at home.

Lee's studio continues to amaze with its endless creative possibilities. His collection of props, wigs, headpieces, and a vast array of dresses and outfits allowed us to explore an even wider range of styles and concepts. His versatility in creating different sets is truly remarkable, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

What sets Lee apart is not just his talent but also his kindness and thoughtfulness, which have remained unwavering. He is one of the kindest individuals I've had the pleasure of working with in the industry. I'm also impressed by his ongoing charitable efforts, like donating to the Ukrainian charity.

Having worked with Lee for the second time, I can confidently say that he consistently delivers a phenomenal photography experience. I'm eagerly looking forward to future collaborations with him. Lee is not only a remarkable photographer but also a perfect host. Working with him continues to be an absolute pleasure.

Lee never fails to amaze me! This was my 2nd time shooting with Lee at his amazing home studio, and it was a delight as usual! Lee is a very talented photographer, with a beautiful home studio with access to anything and everything, from outfits, wigs, headpieces to creative backdrops, furniture, rugs, you name it! Even with spending a whole day shooting we never manage to fit in all our ideas into one shoot! Creating with Lee is effortless, he creates such a relaxed and accomadating atmosphere, always lovely conversations and breaks between blocks. The raw images looked spectacular, and even more so once Lee has worked his digital magic! Outstanding quality images every time, I never leave disappointed.

Thanks again Lee for an amazing shoot, and 10/10 images, you are truly a star!

Where to even begin with Lee ... I'm absolutely honoured to shoot with this brilliant photographer. I first approached Lee with a creative makeup editorial mood board. Lee is terribly generous, helping me arrange everything, including hiring an amazingly talented MUA (Sister of Sinister) to bring my vision to life. All communications went smoothly. I was incredibly excited for our shoot.

I was stunned by how well equipped and accommodating Lee was on the day of the shoot. He had absolutely everything you can imagine. A walk-in closet with outfits organised neatly by dress size, bath robes and towels, food and drinks, quirky head pieces, makeup removers, hair accessories etc. I barely need to prepare anything. Lee took care of me like a proper client even though I wasn't. He absolutely spoiled me.

All of us had a proper laugh throughout the shoot. Hours and hours went by but everything was worth it for the stunning images Lee captured. The unedited images already had me in awe. High quality. High definition. Vibrant colours. Ticks all the boxes I'm looking for in beauty portraits. I cannot emphasise how skilled and knowledgeable Lee is in photography. I absolutely trust his judgement and can't wait to be blown away by the final images.

I haven't felt so rewarded from a shoot in a very long time. I honestly did the least work compared to Lee and the MUA, Kristina. This shoot has genuinely sparked excitement and is one of the most memorable shoots I've ever had. Lee is a photographer I will definitely be working with regularly in the future. I highly, highly and highly recommend him.

Thank you again, Lee, for creating such a wonderful experience for me and for capturing some of my most legendary images. I truly don't deserve it.

Lee was the first photographer I shot with when I decided to get back into modelling back in 2018, and is one of the reasons why I stuck with it, despite having little to no confidence.

I was so excited to be shooting with him again, and it’s safe to say that I was not disappointed. He was organised, communicated well, very open to suggestions and thought really well on the spot. He keeps a well stocked kitchen which is always a plus for me!

We worked through 8 sets in about 5 hours full of colour and very different to my usual portfolio so was a little out my comfort zone. Lee is excellent at composition and making his models feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him over again

Aurora Phoenix

Had a really good shoot with LRM Photography at his home studio in chestnut. Prior to shooting pre-communication was excellent and everything was so easy to organise.

Prior to the shoot Lee had sent videos of his studio and details about what his studio had to provide.

On the day of the shoot Lee was so welcoming and really kind and sweet he put me at ease as this was our first time meeting by giving me some refreshments and showing me around the place. He has a variety of amazing backdrops, equipment, clothing and even a separate room for changing and getting ready with just about everything you could pretty much need under the sun. For this shoot all I really needed was a backpack which is crazy as I normally bring a suitcase to the majority or my shoots but I really didn’t need to bring much apart from makeup.

We did a variety of awesome sets and I loved how creative Lee was with designing the backdrop areas and setups we were doing to such an excellent standard. Time flew by as we had a good laugh, chat and a shoot and such an excellent day together. Lee is so professional and easy to talk to and work with, he’s really relaxed too and really brings out the best in me.

Lee also provided me with a delicious lunch and some food that was in-line with my allergies and dietary requirements which he was kind enough to ask about before the shoot.

110% recommended from me just class I can’t wait until our next shoot together.

I had such a wonderful day shooting with Lee!

We have shot many times before and it was great to be back, we tried some of his cool set ups/clothing then tried a funky set up with the gobo and colours. We got awesome varied shots which I absolutely love!

Lee is so kind and welcoming in his home/studio. He made sure I had vegan snacks which was very much appreciated!

Always such a fun, chilled and creative day with Lee. You can't go wrong really! I hope to return one day :)

Highly recommended!

Thanks
