This was my first time shooting with Lee at his home studio, and wow where do I begin?

The communication from the beginning was very clear and continuous, he provided thorough information on what to expect on the day when I arrive and was very flexible with rescheduling as there have been train strikes recently (thankfully this did not need to happen.) I asked if I could bring an MUA with me, and that was fine, we both travelled there together and arrived late morning. Lee provided lunch, snacks, and refreshments, and even offered for me to stay over the night before in case I wanted more time to have access to the studio and wardrobe, now that I have done a whole day shoot with Lee I understand why he offers this now! I was there for 9.5 hours, and we never noticed the time go, including not being able to finish all the looks that we wanted to create, which means we will defo be shooting again in the near future! Lee was an absolute delight to shoot with, the professionalism, attire and other equipment that he had available at his home studio, including backdrops, rugs, props etc give you access to a wide range of diverse possibilities, making the creative options limitless! His creative eye and advice helped to perfect the looks and shots that we captured, all in all, Lely, Lee and I had an absolutely fantastic day working together, and can't wait to see the end results! Would highly recommend any creative to work with Lee, as I will definitely be doing so in the future. Thanks again Lee, I look forward to working with you again!

After a long 3 years, we finally got to shoot again and it didn’t disappoint!



Lee’s 'home studio' isn’t actually a shed in the garden, Of course no disrespect to anyone\s fully equipped and well working shed. Lee's home studio is a fully operational studio, better than some studios I have worked in. Ooooo you'll all be wondering what one now haha. Boasting of backdrops, props, wigs, colours, clothes, lights and filters galore. It even has an AC unit if you get too hot!

On a serious note, Lee's dedication to detail and his professional approach to his work space as well as his work, provides you a truly great experience.

I was thrilled to be back and we started with a good old chat to get back on a level after some time and letting those creative juices run wild.

There has been an update to the studio since I last visited. It was tremendous fun to be let loose with ideas, amongst the colourful sets and styling.

We nailed what we wanted, actually in no time at all, the best part of the day was spent nattering and/or eating/drinking!

As ever, looking forward to seeing the images and always welcome another visit to such a great space and fantastic host.

Highly recommend.

Well it's no secret Lee and I have been working with each other for years and years now, from nearly the beginning of Lee's photographic journey.

And throughout the years I've mentioned in previous references that I've been astounded by his progress and improvements, and nowadays I'm not in the least bit surprised by just how awesome our work turns out!

Once we finally got out of lockdown and could start shooting again I was straight over to Lee's buzzing with ideas to shoot!

Over the last two years we've shot an incredible amount of different styles from film noir, to colour pop, gothic, a variety of different portraiture concepts, fairytale, high end fashion, headdresses, latex, and god just so much more.

I don't think there's a model I've worked with that I haven't told that they must work with Lee, as not only is he an amazing photographer that collaborates with you to create beautiful images that you will be proud to have on your wall let alone in your portfolio. But that he's also the kindest people you could hope to meet, I've had the pleasure of bringing new creative from photographers, MUAs, stylists, and models to his studio and its so wonderful to see how easily Lee can make them feel comfortable and confident! As well as looking after everyone on set with snacks and drinks on tap, tons of breaks, and if you're staying over on tour you have your own gorgeous room that has fresh bottles of water and even complimentary vegan chocolates! (very important of course!)

Lee has even shot images of my husband and I for our family album, something I wouldn't ask anyone else to do! Lee is one of my best friends and I just couldn't recommend him enough!

If you have an awesome concept and want that perfect shot, don't hesitate to collaborate with Lee, you will not be disappointed!

Sooo looking forward to our next shoots which are going to get crazy!

Lee has the most wonderful studio with a serious wealth of high-end equipment, backdrops, modifiers, props and more … all to be used immediately for almost any scenario. On top of that, Lee is the perfect host, and makes sure you feel comfortable and well-fed/refreshed.

Definitely recommend this studio to anyone - a brilliant space and host!

What's not to love about shooting with Lee?!

Not only is he an amazing photographer, who is clearly passionate about his work and always willing to try new creative ideas- he is a pure mother hen and makes all efforts to make sure the models are happy, fed and having a good time.

I love what he has done to the studio, always lovely and clean, smelling beautiful and wonderfully organised. He has great equipment, a full wardrobe room complete with all sorts of accessories and head pieces! It has some beautiful decor and new additions which are great to shoot with.

Lee even went as far as to make an amazing vegan cottage pie for my lunch! Not to mention the mountain of chocolate. I was definitely well fed and happy throughout, Lee is incredibly passionate about what he does and excels in every area.

I would go as far as to say I had an inspirational time shooting with Lee! I highly recommend him to anyone and I look forward to hopefully shooting with him again one day.

Thanks Lee :)

What can I say that hasn't been said yet? Lee is one of my closest friends, a brilliant photographer and a fantastic person. As always he made sure I'm comfortable and have everything I need, and I mean absolutely everything like food and toiletries even, he is the best host ever. The studio has been fully rebuilt since I last been there, and many backdrops and props added. The dressing room is full of clothes including special items for creative shooting, jewellery, wigs, you can have a hundred different looks in one shoot if you want to (probably even more than that).

His creativity is endless, lighting is very precise, the shoot was amazing.

Oh and also he cooks delicious food too! Very highly recommended, can't think of a better person to shoot with!

I've been working with Lee for years now and as well as being a highly talented photographer, retoucher and friend, Lee is also the most perfect host. He hosted me for four days on my Hertfordshire tour last week and really went above and beyond what was expected. As well as home cooked meals and lovely little touches in the guest room Lee also allowed me to use his home studio for other bookings.

The home studio is so well equipped you could shoot there for weeks and not run out of things to shoot, there are so many options and the equipment is second to none. Lee also has an enormous walk in wardrobe which is like a Narnia of headpieces, gowns, fashion wear, and props, everything you could want from backdrops to corsets and more! The great thing about the walk in wardrobe is that if you are a touring model you can travel relatively light as he has an abundance of clothing in a variety of sizes and there really is something for everyone.

Another perk of shooting at Lee's is he is always on hand with advice if you need it, if you are stuck for ideas of struggling to get the perfect light Lee is never too busy to pop in and lend a helping hand and his wealth of knowledge means every photographer left there with new ideas and lots of confidence :)

Lee is the perfect host and the studio is just fantastic.

Thanks again Lee for everything you have done, and here's to the next tour!

Had the pleasure of using Lee's refurbished studio and have to say it's brilliant, you wouldn't want to want for anything as Lee has it all :)

Lee is a great host and always make you feel comfortable and i would highly recommend working at his fantastic studio.

Thanks Lee

Had a brilliant shoot Friday with Lee- great ideas and got plenty of sets in the time we had available. Very organised and well executed with ample supply of snacks, drinks and an amazing wardrobe selection. Great music taste and very welcoming- I can't wait to see the finished images and would 100% recommend Lee for a unique, high quality portfolio session!

Gayle

I had an absolutely wonderful shoot with Lee yesterday. He is a kind, generous man that goes out of his way to make you feel relaxed and looked after. (From a gorgeous walk-in wardrobe to the snacks, drinks and even lunch!) I was absolutely thrilled with the quality of his photos and would definitely love to work with him again. 120% recommend;-)

JustTiana

Where do I start? Lee is a true gentleman.

I had but thought chivalry was dead but, after staying with Lee & spending some time with him I realised it is very much alive.

He is a fabulous, caring, generous, polite & trustworthy host. Alongside having wicked taste in television, music & photography styles!

We had gone back and forth about shooting, and it finally happened. Within 10minutes we could have wrapped it.

WE SMASHED IT, within a few hours we had shot some really cool work that I am super excited to share.

I see the love Lee puts into his photography and appreciate that a lot. His home is truly beautiful and Lee takes pride in this, I respect him highly and hope everyone will book him.

He started shooting for casting agencies recently and, for anyone needing that sort of shoot I hope you would contact him. He is a master at lighting but, I see always learning as I am. He has a broad knowledge, I learnt a lot!

aaaaand, I always appreciate someone who loves snacks as much as me also... felt so at home!

- We got on well and I am really looking forward to shooting again soon.

CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH

thankyou so much Lee.

I hosted a shoot with lee some time ago but have only just got around to doing reviews (apologies)

What can i say that hasn’t already be said. comms were excellent, payment swift, the house was tidier when they left than when they arrived! an absolute pleasure to have in my studio. please come back soon! x

Jezebelle

Lee is a fabulous host, and I'm ever so chuffed I got to shoot with him this week - he has the most wonderful lighting and wardrobe collection I have EVER seen!

He is also an amazing photographer who is very relaxed, captures the most beautiful images and is a freaking light guru - not to mention one of the best retouchers I've had the honour of working with!

Thank you so much for a fantastic day - I honestly cannot recommend you enough to all models, an absolutely perfect shoot :)

I’ve shot with Lee no countless times alone as a duo and with my daughter

We’ve shot everything from simple to creative

Lee is always my first choice photographer and person he’s such a lovely guy just being around him is uplifting it’s not quite like going to work

More like going to a friends having a catch up and creating some magic

Lee shot my daughters first six months shoot after shooting my maternity shoot he was the only person I allowed to photograph me in such a delicate state

It was Lisa first maternity shoot and one of his first baby shoots and will the results are amazing just what I wanted

Lee has an obsessive attention to detail with his huge walk-in wardrobe hundreds of weeks props and pretty much any food you can think up in the fridge

You will love the experience of shooting with lee so I highly recommend it if you get the chance

VisionOfLeon

This is a MUST READ reference if you are going to work with this guy!

So firstly a MASSIVE thank you Lee for taking me on for the day when it was meant to be him shooting Tillie and instead letting me join in as a keen learning photographer giving great tuition on everything from natural light to unusual but awesome lighting set ups. I learnt loads and have some amazing pictures as the outcome to really help build upon my portfolio.

Ok so where do we start... the house(beautiful place btw) - a separate fridge for cold drinks, more crisps/chocolate/snacks than your local corner shop, a massive assortment of all types of food for lunches as well as breakfasts and even vegan varieties as well, it's literally a foodies dream.

The studio - When you've got a home studio better than some actual studios you're doing something right. More lights than you'll ever need, an amazing range of modifiers & reflectors, a 5 backdrop mounting system as well as LOADS of different colour backdrop rolls, beautiful natural light coming in through the skylights + doors/windows and overall a large amount of space for a home studio. It's my dream to have a home studio as good as yours!

The props/wardrobe - This was mental, the range of clothing was so good. Seriously you have to see it to believe it, it will blow you away and the amount of accessories like jewellery/headpeices/glasses to go with it was equally amazing! Tillie was in her element being able to dress up in so many beautiful outfits + dresses.

Lee was very welcoming from the start and continued with the best hospitality i think I've ever recieved. His kindness shined throughout our time at his and i can fully vouch that anyone shooting with him will end up with some epic shots with having a great time achieving them.

Thank you so much, i really look forward to coming down again and next time dinner shall be on us!

1,000,000% recommended x infiniti + 1 more than anyone can ever say.

I cannot believe I haven't left a reference for Lee... WHAT??? Shocking.

Having admired Lee's work for some time, I thought I would contact him to see if he would like to work with me - and I was VERY HAPPY when he said yes.

Having wanted to shoot more fantasy/dress up style images for a long time and Lee absolutely nails it every time.

He was so kind to both myself and Leon, he put us up for the night and gave up his own bed - I know..

On arrival he showed us around and we both in such shock! The whole space is incredible, a models dream LITERALLY.

The kitchen was well stocked with every snack/drink/breakfast/lunch you could ever want. Even for vegetarians/vegans too.

There is a separate room entirely for wardrobe featuring stunning ethereal dresses, casual wear of every colour, smart wear, jackets, leathers, you name it - he's got it. Then there's the headpieces which are fricking INCREDIBLE! So many choices and styles, amongst jewellery and boxes of props.

I honestly think Lee should run it as a professional studio, however I know that's not what he wants. It exceeds every studio I think I've been to.

The studio space itself has been well thought out, with only the best lighting and equipment too. Patio doors and windows for natural light shots too.

The shoot was amazing and he even allowed Leon to join in too taking pictures and advising him on shooting in studios and even editing afterwards he kindly gave Leon helpful tips and even some software for him to use.

Lee is one of the best photographers around and I genuinely believe that, his skill knows no end and his retouching is impeccable.

I really can HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Lee if you get the opportunity and we definitely plan on visiting again soon and taking Lee's offer of using the studio space one day for Leon to practise.

And as Leon said, next time it's our treat to dinner :)

Thank you again, Tillie x

Ecce!

I had a fantastic shoot with Lee last week. I have admired his work for a while so I was very happy when he sent me a message to organise a shoot. His pre-comms were thorough and excellent, and he even asked me if I had any dietary preferences for lunch! The shoot itself was relaxed and enjoyable and Lee was very friendly and a joy to work with. His home studio amazing, everything you could want in a studio (including a walk in wardrobe!)

I can't wait to work with Lee again - highly recommended!

Hurley

Myself and Lee worked together a couple of weeks back and OH MY GOD!!! What an incredible guy!

Precomms were brilliant, he asked if I had any food preferences/allergies and stocked up on all the things I liked for the day, fully catered all of my needs, he honestly couldnt do enough for me- an absolute 10/10 host and all in all, top flipping guy to work with!

He has a walk in wardrobe full with amazing clothes of all sizes, styles, materials etc, wigs galore, head pieces, glasses, any accessory you could think of! He even has an entire room dedicated for the model to get ready in comfortably with a beautiful fluffy dressing gown and a pair of disposable slippers for your hygiene! He is one of VERY FEW who considers a models needs this much and it totally sets the bar so high of what you will always hope for in the future.

We both tried shots outside of our comfort zones and my god, are the images amazing!

Lee is somebody who will astound you with his knowledge on just about everything, and his thirst to learn more will inspire you.

Everything about this man and his talents comes with my highest recommendations and I absolutely can't wait to work with him again ♥

Tommy Rose

Had a wonderful shoot with Lee! This is the second time we've worked together and he was super professional and friendly!

Images are always amazing and never disappoints!

Penny Lee

After hearing so many lovely things about Lee. It was such a pleasure to finally work with him. Lee is such a brilliant photographer to work with. He’s super organised and you are well looked after on a shoot. I shoot with Lee duo with Jodie Ellen and would love to have the chance to go back and shoot with him on my own. Great photographer xx
