I’ve been lucky enough to work with Malc & Barb a number of times now, and thoroughly enjoy working together.

They always bring the most amazing ideas to the table- refreshing and unique.

Incredible set ups and styling ideas.

The atmosphere is always a perfect balance between laid back and professional - keen to achieve the shot.

They are most accommodating, with a pre heated studio, and ensure that I remain fuelled with tea breaks and Jaffa cakes!

I love working together and am always happy with the results achieved.

Looking forward to our next shoot!

Malc and myself have worked together on a few occasions, and each and every one to date has been brilliant! Malc is a fantastic Photographer, full of knowledge, and is really easy to talk to!

We have come up with different ideas and themes on every Shoot that we have done so far, the images have been amazing, which speaks volumes for Malc and his qualities, and I am always really excited when I get the opportunity to work with Malc!

I am really looking forward to working with Malc again in the future, and I would recommend Malc to anybody in a Heartbeat!

I was lucky enough to work with Malcolm and Barbara at their incredible studio, after meeting them over the summer at The Dorothy Clive Gardens.

I had the most wonderful time, enjoying every moment.

Malc and Barb are an absolute pleasure to work with, talented photographers and caring hosts.

I love the atmosphere at the studio and cant thank them enough for inviting me to work with them.

Looking forward to another shoot soon, and am glad to have met such lovely creatives.

Working alongside Malcolm is always a total pleasure, and I'm so glad that Malcolm and his wife, Barbara, hired me again on this sunny afternoon.

This time we ventured to Catchlight Pic's new studio - and old Flour mill. It is an absolutely beautiful location, situated near a large fishing found, surrounded by livestock. It's truly awesome to behold. There are still so many parts of the mill that are still intact, and it really gives the studio some serious character. Malcolm and Barbara have also made sure to move in some different back drops to cater to every type of creative too - They are clearly putting a great deal of thought in to their new venture.

Malcolm once again blew me away with his knowledge and memories, as he was telling me all about how they would have used the mill in the past and about how things have changed since. Malcolm is someone who I could sit and talk with all day - as I'm sure I have said before, he has a wealth of knowledge and is someone you could learn a great deal from.

Some of the images created by Malcolm today are easily some of my favourites, and I am so excited to work with him and Barbara again.

Thank you once again to both Malcolm and Barbara. Very highly recommended as always!

Another reference from me! But this time it is regarding Malcolm as a HOST!

Malcolm and Barbara hosted a camera club at Dorothy Clive gardens and hired me to be the model for the evening. It was an opportunity for me to work with Malcolm and Barb as hosts and teachers, rather than photographers, and also to work with a group of new people - some who had never shot a model before!

Malcolm is incredibly intelligent and skilled, especially with regards to lighting, equipment and where to take photos! He was more than willing to pass on his knowledge and expertise, and was so supportive of everyone in the group.

Malcolm was also sure to assist and chaperone me throughout the evening to ensure I was happy, made sure my shoes and any props were handled with care and made sure I was kept fed and watered.

We have since discussed more shoots like this evening and I can not wait for them to happen!

Thank you so much, Malcolm and Barbara, for what I can only say is a wonderful opportunity!

I worked with Malcolm and Barbara again at the gorgeous Dorothy Clive Gardens (this time with another lovely photographer Bob Atkinson) and it was such an enjoyable shoot. The weather was beautiful and the gardens gave such stunning backdrops. They were all so friendly, considerate for my comfort, easy going and professional. The images look luscious!

Malcolm and Barbara are wonderful, welcoming people and such fun to chat with :-) Very happily recommended!

Malcolm and his wife, Barbara, Hired me today for a wintery themed shoot at their home and surrounding area at Dorothy Clive Gardens. What a wonderful shoot it was!

Malcolm is an awesome guy, with stories and links that will blow your mind! He is so easy to talk to, he has a great sense of humour and is so wonderfully kind and thoughtful.

The day was quite cold, and Malcolm and Barbara were conscious of my well being the entire time.

It was such a joy to be able to converse and work with Malcolm and Barb, and we have discussed more shoots in the future. I feel so happy that they live so close!

Highly recommended from me!

I have shot with Malcolm and Barbara a couple of times at local club events, and must say that I am so impressed with the calibre of work they create.

Both of them are incredibly polite and chatty, and awfully caring, ensuring that their models are comfortable and happy at all times.

Though they have only been brief, each time has been fantastic and I can’t wait to shoot with them again.

Thank you, Malc! X

I had the pleasure of a fun and productive part studio, part location shoot today with Malc and Barb at their lovely home, and can't speak highly enough of them.

I already knew they were both very lovely, and extremely professional, knowledgeable and talented from previous live gig shoots done with my band Venus Rising, and today further showed me how comfortable they make models feel, how considerate they are checking you're comfortable and relaxed, and even offered cake with a cuppa!

Communication, as always, was excellent, and they were very understanding when I needed to reschedule for reasons beyond my control. They had an assortment of lovely clothes and accessories that we mixed and matched with what I took, and great ideas for beautiful locations and pose suggestions. We got through various outfits, backdrops and locations in the nearby gardens (never once complaining about the rain!), and offered to show me all the images on the viewfinder. I was very impressed with what I saw and so excited to see the images when they're ready!

I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and am delighted they suggested working together again in the near future.

Thank you so much for a fabulous day guys! Xx :)

I had my second shoot with Malc last week, and what a great shoot it was, I throughly enjoyed my first shoot with Malc and was looking forward to our next.

Malc sourced some amazing locations! I was very impressed with them and the ideas he had.

Like our first shoot Malc was professional, polite and friendly throughout the entire shoot, and the day absolutely flew by, on unusual locations he made sure my safety was the most important thing and is just generally a lovely genuine guy!

Looking forward to a third shoot : )

Highly recommend by me to anyone!

Speak soon

I had my first shoot with the lovely Malc and his equally lovely wife Barb on Sunday.

Pre shoot comms were great and malc and barb arrived with some great ideas and amazing props, we shot at my home first then onto location. Malc and barb are friendly, professional and always have the models beat interests in mind at all times. They were always making sure I was warm enough and that I was ok as our location was a little derilict.

I got on with them both straight away and we had a fab shoot : )

We've even booked in another shoot for next month, and I can't wait to work with them both again!

The results I've seen from the pictures are amazing! I'm so pleased with what we created I really can't wait till our second shoot : )

See you in a few weeks!

Best wishes,

Viv

Fabulous to meet Malc at an "Art nude in the Landscape" fotofilia event near Birmingham. He was extremely friendly, professional and we had a good laugh. I believe the event was a great success and everyone went away with some beautiful images, not to mention the weather turned out just perfect. Thanks so much :) Highly recommended.

My band Venus Rising and I had the pleasure of a photo shoot at The Box Crewe, where we were playing live. I would highly recommend Malcolm and his wife Barbara, their communication is excellent and their professionalism in every aspect is second to none. Excellent images were provided very quickly, and we are delighted to have these to use for our band promotion. It was lovely to meet you both! Thank you so much! We would love to work with you both again! x

I had a lovely shoot with Malc and Barbara at Dorothy Clive Gardens last week.

They were both polite, professional and very friendly. We had a nice relaxed walk round the garden, stopping for photos as the mood took us. The shoot was calm, well thought out and good fun. They were excellent hosts and I'm looking forward to seeing the results!
