I did a couple of duo shoots with Matt at Lottii Rose's charity shoot and I thought Matt worked really well with both female models. I got some lovely shots and am well pleased with the sessions we had. Thanks Matt and best wishes for your future modelling.

Wow, it was great to shoot with Matt at a charity event at X Factory. He is easy going and was able to deliver some great images right away at the very start of the shoot. He had some great outfits with him, which really suited the location and what we were shooting and posed confidently with some great looks. Very professional, friendly and enthusiastic, we did both some solo and some duo shots and the results are great. Highly recommended, thanks Matt!

I got to work with Matt at a charity group shoot organised by Lotti Rose. I did a couple of sets with him, one also with Shirley Reis.

The duo set was where Matt's experience was helpful for his duo partner, and together we worked around the location rapidly. Then followed a couple of very quick sessions with Matt on his own, and here we could play the villain which Matt does so well.

Matt's a top guy, I would be more than happy to work with him again sometime.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt at the charity event for Crohn's disease.

Matt is friendly and professional and posed with ease.

We worked with some more dynamic poses and he absolutely smashed it

I would highly recommend to any level of photography and would happily work together again in another shoot in the future

Thank you

I don't often work with male models, but meeting Matt yesterday at LottiiRose's charity event opened my eyes a bit (more so today, after reading his bio!)

Matt does 'intense' really well - but is in fact soft-spoken and friendly, and a delight to photograph. I was having technical issues during my time with him, and so took far fewer pictures than I'd hoped to - so maybe we need to work together again some time!

Highly recommended.

Met Matt at a charity shoot organised by Lotti Rose.

Matt is a great model and it's a nice change for me to shoot some men for once!

He had great styling and posed really well.

We got some great stuff, and I am looking forward to posting it!

He's a nice bloke and we had a good chat too.

Recommended!

A few days ago we shot with Matt for the first time. It was a duo shoot and he was recommended by @Munira who we had worked with before. Munira spoke highly of him and we have to say that he lived up to her praises.

Matt arrived promptly as planned. Pre shoot communications were good and Matt came equipped with all of the outfits we had discussed.

His preparation for shoots is excellent, as others have mentioned all outfits were pressed and ready to go.

Matt takes a pride in his professionalism and appearance. He is a calm, considerate professional and a real gentleman to work with.

At all times in the shoot he was considerate of the female model we were working with.

Matt, has a great look, he is able to both pose with ease as well as taking direction well.

Whether you are looking for a male model to work with a female model or as a solo you can book with confidence and you will not be dissaponted.

Never known for photographing male models I'm always a little concerned how to pose or direct them, Matt however made my job easy, slipping into and out of different looks throughout a bridal shoot we were on.

Unveiled Glam https://purpleport.com/portfolio/glamzbynancy/ did a light make up on him and then we set off around the venue to get some "before the bride" sets.

He was dressed immaculately as you would expect any groom to be, he put forward ideas on poses and backdrops too, all of which put me at ease as we seamlessly went through some sets.

His interaction with Munira when they were paired as bride and groom worked well as they were known to one another so the chemistry was already there.

Thank you for making my job easy Matt.

Highly recommended.

Matt is the first male model I worked with. He was just perfect, above and beyond. My expectations of working with a male have been raised to the max.

He was so professional, helpful, talented.

He came prepared and follow the hair and skincare prep instructions I had send per-shoot.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated Matt, he understood the assignment and the vision. I wasn't able to be part of his solo session as I was then doing hair and makeup on the next model. but I've just seen the images they took and I can tell he had a look at my Pinterest board and read the brief I had send out!

He gave me the looks, the emotions, the statement, the story.. he gave it all! Exactly like I had vison it! The pictures are just perfect!

I highly recommend working with Matt. I am looking forward to more opportunities to work with him!

Just completed a BOND theme duo shoot with Matt in Nottingham and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Matt approached me to do a duo shoot a few weeks back and I agreed as Matt is an awesome male model.

I was really impressed with how quickly he took on board my ideas and arranged the photographer, the venue, date and theme.

On the day Matt arrived with the agreed clothing for our bond theme and we hit it off straight away! The shoot was fun and creative with lots of fake guns, awesome backdrops and great lighting. Matt has an awesome attitude look which was perfect for our theme and I think he did a great job as Mr Bond!

Looking forward to working with you again Matt. Highly recommend!

Had a great second shoot with Matt today. Matt arrved on time and with a selection of suits and shirts to fit the theme. Of particular worthy of mention is his attention to detail, every shirt and pair of trousers was pressed to perfection.

Matt was very happy to suggest ideas and poses and poses very naturally. Mat had a great sense of humour, easy to talk to, and was very professional at all times. Would happily work with Matt again in the future, highly recommended.

Had another great time with Matt today after he responded to my casting call. Pre-shoot comms were spot on and he turned up with his bag of goodies early. What a great guy! He's an experienced and professional model who works very hard to achieve his character, during the different looks, throughout the shoot. The shoot was a collaboration and Matt was oozing creativity all the way through. Great time had by all and look forward to working together again. - Thanks Matt - Keith

Matt shot with me at a wedding venue which was well organised and was a pretty big deal! Matt obviously arrived on time and straight away introduced himself! Was friendly, approachable and ofcourse trustworthy in every set we did together.

Some poses were quite personal and Matt did a great job at achieving these! Professional and 100% dedicated at what images we got! A pleasure to work with:)

Met and had a first shoot with Matt today. Matt is a lovely chap, easy to talk to, and came prepared with several changes of clothing in different styles, as we had discussed. Matt was punctual, and comms were excellent. Matt worked hard to achieve some great shots and took direction well, and came up with some excellent ideas of his own too. as a Personal Trainer, Matt is in great shape.

Matt was totally focussed on getting the shots, and was very helpful too. A great shoot with a great model. Give Matt a shout and book him up, you won't be disappointed.

I would happily work with Matt again - tomorrow!

Worked with Matt to produce athlete/boxer images, Matt fitted the bill perfectly. His communication was spot on, turned up ready to go, brought a range of outfits and equipment.

Matt is a Personal Trainer so perfect for the images I was trying to achieve, although he is able to model a variety of roles - take a look at his portfolio. Would recommend Matt without hesitation.

Matt applied for a casting and he was perfect for the job. Amazing comms, punctual and polite.

He was fun to work with and knows exactly what hes doing.

Cant recommend him enough and would happily work with him again.
