Met Matt for the second time. First time was at my studio. This time I had the honor of photographing him at the Kilns Camera club.

He was easy to pose as well as he was happy to pose himself. I haven't worked with many male models before so that was really helpful. So happy with the outcome of the images. He is very easy to get along with. Thank ou soo much for letting me photograph you. :)

Was not disappointed. I recommend Matt to studios and Photographers and would love to work with him again

I had a quick 20 minutes with Matt at The Women's Aid Charity Shoot at The Xfactory earlier in the month. We didn't really have much time but Matt was ready to go, took direction well and shared his own ideas for the time we had together. I feel we both came away with some great images. I'd gladly recommend Matt to other photographers and loom forward to working with him again.

I had my 2nd shoot with the one and only Matt latkin. He is reliable at answering queries you have and arranging bookings. I really enjoyed shooting with him. We shot at x factory with Shelly as the tog, where he was not late. He is good at listening to what the photographer says to do with me. We work as a couple in modelling, as a team. We did his original boxing scene plan as a part of it, that we did not get round to doing on our first shoot. He is a superb model. The shoot went very quickly for me.

He being prepared from what we discussed, he brought outfits with him to use in our shoot.

We used different floors, different furniture, different rooms, different outfits, but the same two of us the whole time.

I felt comfortable in fashion to revealing outfits with Matt as a duo, as we get along like a house on fire, and not totally different that we couldn't gel. I find him very easy to talk to and he didn't push my boundaries. I hope to work with him again next time I am in the area, and possibly in partnership tour the world.

Highly recommended

I had my first shoot with Matt latkin. I was nervous at first but he put my mind at ease.

Matt is near enough perfect.

He is brilliant at organising a plan of sets beforehand and outfits to match the scene.

I met him at the x factory where Shelly shot us. We followed Shelly's instructions of how to pose, but Matt gave me eye contact advise and tips and tricks for duo work, based on his own experience..

He brought a suitcase of outfits and hangers of clothes up the many stairs which was very nice of him, bringing just in case items too like I do.

We used different set backgrounds, different furniture to share, some of the different outfits we had planned, but the same us throughout.

I felt comfortable shooting with Matt, even though I rarely do duo work, as they usually want beyond my levels. He does the appropriate levels for what I am happy to do for real duo wise.

He was easy to chat to between posing and he didn't push my levels at all. We plan to shoot again soon.

Highly recommending this model.

His modelling was fist class and was happy to pose how my members wanted him. From Suited and Booted to jeans to abs shots. Amazing physique and many amazing photos which will be shared with Matt. First class guy and very friendly and will be working

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Matt earlier this year for a photoshoot in my newly established studio. Matt's professionalism and amiable demeanour made the experience truly enjoyable. He arrived punctually, well-prepared with a diverse selection of outfits for the shoot. Matt required minimal guidance during the session and contributed creative concepts of his own, enhancing the overall quality of the images captured. I highly recommend Matt as a model for any photography project.

I shot with Matt at a charity event yesterday and only had a short time to shoot with him but managed to get some images I am really pleased with.

I found him very pleasant to work with and would certainly work with him again.

Matt came to Basford Hurst Cottage to attend a group charity event hosted by Lottirose.

It was a pleasure to meet Matt and have him for the event. We were so grateful to all the models who gave their time to help with this amazing day.

Matt is fantastic model and worked tirelessly with every photographer throughout his time here to create many amazing images. I heard nothing but glowing reports!! He made sure to respect our location at all times and was happy to ask if he needed something.

I would highly recommend Matt and I hope to see him again soon!!! Thank you Matt!!

Matt was a model at the group charity shoot for crohns disease organised by Lotti Rose at basford hurst. I have worked with Matt before so was really happy when I heard he'd be at this shoot too! He always brings a high level of professionalism to every shoot and an enthusiastic attitude.

Unfortunately we didn't get any shots together this time however we had some nice chats on the day and shared experiences which created a really nice friendly positive vibe for the day!

From what I have seen, his shots turned out amazing and hopefully I'll catch you at the next one Matt!

I met and modelled alongside Matt for the first time at a recent charity photoshoot event.

Matt has a great look, and really knows his poses and expressions and works very well with both photographers and other models.

Benjamin Zee

I worked alongside Matt and he was such a breath of fresh air, his guidance and experience in the field as a male model truly gave me a great deal of confidence and helped relax my nerves for the shoot.

He was polite and very enjoyable to be around, very considerate of me being new to the modeling scene and I cannot wait to work with him again!

3rd September 2023: Shot with Matt as part of a Crohn's Disease charity shoot organised by LottieRose and hosted by Basford Hurst Cottage Photographic location near Leek. Great shoot, Matt played the part of streetwise scoundrel and then an armed but incognito special agent. Matt posed excellently with very little direction from myself and we got some images that I think may be unique in genre to those shot at Basford, paricularly on this shoot, correct me if I am wrong, Leanne. One of several great shoots during a great day ! Would work with Matt again without hesitation, highly recommended.

Just fab! I had the pleasure of shooting with Matt again for the second time at another charity event arranged by Lottii, this time at Basford Hurst Cottage. Once again he was relaxed, friendly and ready to shoot. He helped me with ideas and was great working with the natural light as we shot outdoors. Matt had a variety of poses and looks which suited the shoot really well (yes, he was in a suit!) and I found him great to work with. Some of my favourite images from the shoot, thanks Matt! Highly recommended.

Matt and I as a photographer had been in communication for a shoot scheduled at the LA Studios in Nuneaton.

I have been very impressed with Matt's Gallery & profile and was quite looking forward to Collaborating with him and Model Munira

We had originally scheduled an hour shoot but due to cancellations was happy to extend my booking shoot for an extra 1 Hour shoot.

Matt was a very presentable, friendly and polite throughout my Shoot with in particular Munira. Nevertheless, Matt posed in a few shots and I was pretty impressed, his posing, his Mood, profile and I was happy with a few of the shots, if not should & could have taken much, much more.

Overall, I would highly recommend Matt, for his passion & for being genuine & would envy the position of Shooting with him in future

For all photographers and Young Models, keep Matt in your Books and I would recommend him highly.

I had a great shoot today with Matt and Munira. It was my first time working with a duo and Matt and Munira did not disappoint.

Matt was very helpful and worked to my direction with no difficulty whatsoever.

I can thoroughly recommend Matt and look forward to working with him again.

I worked with Matt recently both one to one and also with a female model. Matt was very professional and worked hard which resulted in some strong images. It's clear that Matt looks great in any style.

I've not had much experience working with male models but Matt was great and we got done really cool images.

If you're looking for a male model then look no further.

Highly recommended

I worked with Matt at a charity shoot over the weekend. We did two sets, both with Matt and different female models. Matt was easy to work with, he was enthusiastic to explore ideas and try different things. He was very poilte and respectful to the ladies we were working with.

I'd happily work with Matt again and would recommend him to anyone who wants a good looking proffesional male model.

Thanks for being great to work with Matt!
