Maksim and I arranged a shoot at Southend Central last Sunday afternoon! Comm’s we’re great and Maksim and I formulated a plan for the 2 hours we had booked. Maksim has some great little locations in mind which collaborated well with my outfit choices. We caught some fabulous images which I am very pleased with! Maksim was friendly, easy to talk too and kind. We got on well :)

I had a fabulous first shoot with Maksim a week ago at Lusty Photos studio! I thought he was really cool and we are into the same kind of music which made the shoot very fun listening to awesome tunes :) I felt really comfortable working with him, very respectful and I really loved the style of photography we were aiming for! The results are stunning! I would definitely recommend him to other models and would love to have the chance to work with him again!!

Had the pleasure to meet and work with Maksim yesterday at Lusty Studios Rayleigh. In his words this one to one shoot was a little outside of his comfort zone as he had never shot with a male subject. Once the studio was set up he quickly and very professionally overcame the issue and we worked together swapping ideas throughout the shoot. Maksim was always thinking and looking for different ideas and clothing changes to get the best from the shoot.

Good pre shoot comms and would reccomend working with this guy.

I have previously worked with Maksim at a workshop shoot and found him a pleasure to work with, so when he contacted me earlier in December for a winter shoot I was happy to accept.

Maksim has grown with his photography over the last year and it really shows with his recent work.

He is able to discuss with you what kind of ideas he had and the kind of shots he was wanting to achieve.

I felt at ease with Maksim and we were able to communicate clearly and professionally.

I look forward to our next shoot!

SUCH a pleasure to shoot with the ever lovely Maksim again. Maksim contacted me for a location shoot along Southend sea-front and although it was a bit windy we were lucky with the sun and managed so many sets in the few hours we had.

Maksim is such an awesome person, great to talk to and easy to communicate with in general. He had so many cool ideas and we did as many as possible, he has a great eye for settings and direction was on point. We had such a nice day, Maksim was very considerate throughout, and would let me wrap up to warm up everytime It got a bit colder.

Thanks so much for a great shoot Maksim. You are super talented and the shots are so cool, highly recommended :-D

Worked with Maksim today on a very spontaneous shoot which turned out better than I expected. Having the pleasure to work with him previously, we get on really well which makes the shoot so much more relaxed and free flowing! I even brought my daughter who is venturing into the modelling world and Maksim captured some stunning natural shot of her and myself together and beautiful headshots for her portfolio. In the time we had we managed to pull off an array of styles and vibes which was fab! The results were amazing, I can honestly say there wasn't an image i didnt like.

Maksim was very friendly and relaxed, had great ideas and we bounced off each other's creativity throughout.

Thanks Maksim looking forward to working together again soon

Had an amazing shoot with Maksim earlier! We bounced ideas back and forth when shooting and came up with some great shots. He's very easy to work with and a lovely man. Would love to work with him again :) x

I had a lovely hour with Maksim on my evening at JB Studios.

He was very polite, came with ideas and the outcome is fabulous! I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures as so far they're fantastic!

He maybe be new to the game, but he's very good and absolutely worth shooting with.

I worked with Maksim a few weeks ago. We did a shoot around Southend town and sea front. He was very friendly and easy to chat to, which made me feel so much more comfortable. I absolutely loved the images that he produced and he had so many great ideas.

I would definitely like to work with him again in the future 😊

Maksim booked a slot at my studio day and I can honestly say I am so grateful! So far I have seen back of camera shots and are over the moon with the results!

I felt comfortable throughout the whole time of my shoot!

Look forward to another! And obviously would 100% recommend!

Maksim was a pleasure to work with. We only shot for an hour because it was on a workshop but he was professional and kind throughout the shoot. He is more talented than he thinks!

Thanks again for attending the workshop and I hope to work with you again in the future !

Maksim has been so sweet, trying to arrange a shoot with me for months, so when I had a studio day local to him he was the first to book in! I knew he was going to be lovely, as he is so nice online, but he really did out do himself. I was late because of rail replacement (a bus just didnt turn up) but he was super kind about it, cancelling an hour for me. We got on with the shoot and smashed out several sets before time was up. The time flew by ofcourse. Maksim is a complete gentleman, very friendly, easy to talk to and we bounced ideas off of each other. The results are so fabulous. Thanks so much Maksim! You rock! Highly recommended :-)

I shot with Maksim for 40 minutes in my studio evening at JB last night. He arrived on time and ready to go.

Maksim was polite at all times, respectful and pre comms were good so we both knew exactly what we wanted out from our shoot. I felt comfortable the entire time during the shoot.

I would recommend Maksim!

Worked with Maksim again in the studio, showed dedication to being at the shoot and was on time baring in mind he had a long travel. Led a professional shoot and had many great ideas. We worked even better this time round as we had previously worked well together. Felt relaxed and comfortable throughout. Looking forward to future shoots with him. Highly recommend

I worked with Maksim on a group shoot yesterday, he is a really nice guy to work with, had great ideas and took some amazing shots. He was quick and efficient at all times. I felt completely relaxed through out my time with Maksim. Would definitely work with him again.

Had a great first shoot with Maksim out in southend high street and seafront. He was on time, reliable and had some great ideas. Maksim had only been shooting models for a short length of time however he has been able to get great shots and treat the model with upmost respect. Maksim was honest to let me know he was nervous as he has little experience but honestly, everything was great, in order, and he was able to communcate very well. I reccommend Maksim to models as he does have a talent for things that look a bit different and he can get you some absolutely lovely photos.

Thank you so much Maksim!

Thank you so much for a

He was on time and was leading a professional shoot throughout. Had a location in mind but was open to new ideas. Quick and efficient. Great scout for locations!

Maksim is very friendly and had done his research on where he wanted to shoot a few days before, which made the shoot go very smoothly. I would definitely recommend him!
