Yes yes yes! Models, if you get a chance to work with Oliver you are lucky. He is the most considerate, kind, and generous person ever, and during our shoot (we worked together for a day and then again 2 hours the day after) I felt safe (!), respected (!), creative, and I had so much fun. He is not a clicker, so you don't get worn out and exhausted, instead he is relaxed and fun to work with and be around. During our day together (I stayed over at his house with his lovely wife and wonderful kids) there was time for a lot of good conversations and laughs, and I appreciate a lot Olivers open mind to people and his understanding of how they work.

After the shoot, he send me all the finished images so that I, if I wanted, could use them in my portfolio and for my marketing - very appreciated.

My fingers are crossed I will be booked by him again. :D

Oliver is a wonderful chap!

He booked me on my scotland tour and very kindly also offered me accommodation too. When we met up I felt really welcomed and instantly at ease. We shot at various locations on the way back to the house, ran screaming from midges (well, I did), and had a good old natter!

Oliver is a great person to hang around and shoot with, very welcoming and a superb host, super friendly, and his family is ace - very highly recommended :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Oliver at The Hacienda last month. He had a head full of ideas and was great conversation as well as producing beautiful imagery - both with his digital camera and instax, I love the results so much.. they are quirky and original, and he kindly let me keep a couple of instant photos!

Working with him is a breeze - he’s polite, respectful, down to earth and interesting (and humorous!) conversation. And he knows his stuff which is an added bonus. Thanks for a wonderful shoot! x

After a long gap since our last shoot due to OIiver living abroad we got another chance to work together on my studio weekend at Pavilion Studio in Livingston.

Oliver came prepped with ideas of what he wanted to achieve and we played around with long exposures, the images I saw on the back of the camera were really cool and different. It's always a pleasure working with Oliver as he is very creative and never just wants to snap away at you at a ridiculous speed, he puts real thought into every image he takes and it's a great collaborative process :)

Happily recommended by me!

It was such a pleasure getting to work with Oliver. I had always heard such great things about him and given his fantastic body of work it was a blessed opportunity. The shoot went well, the location was great. The model/photography chemistry developed nicely. See you next time, Oliver.

Friendly and easygoing, Oliver made me feel welcome at once. He was a joy to work with, offering a structured shoot with room for me to experiment as well. He is creative with a great sense of light and shadow. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat!

I worked with Oliver this week on my kent tour :)

The time really flew by, he had so many ideas and is really creative! Great at giving direction and getting his ideas across so you know what emotion to portray.

He got some cracking images that I really like and on top of all this was just a pleasure to work with, very laid back and easy to talk to and I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot!

Hope to work with him again in the future and would without doubt recommend him :)

Oliver came to my home yesterday to shoot with myself and Lottie21. This was my first shoot with Oliver, and I genuinely hope that it will not be my last. Oliver is a fantastic photographer and artist, producing images that reflect so much more than simply what is captured in the frame. He is wholly respectful, professional and lovely. Working with Oliver was both productive and a lot of fun - it was a wonderful end to a great weekend of shoots with Lottie. Absolutely recommended :)

I worked with Oliver for the second time a few weeks ago after a very long gap however he was just as lovely as the first time! Really really easy going to work with and is open to ideas as well as having his own :) He took some beautiful images of myself and BexWhite. I cannot highly recommend Oliver enough he is amazing to work with and would jump at the chance to work with him again!

Highly recommended.

Many thanks!

I worked with Oliver on my studio weekend for 2 hours- He is fantastic to work with, a gentleman, respectful and full of creative ideas and projects. I really loved the results of the shoot and the photos are quite wacky and eccentric :) Highly recommended and hope to work with again, best wishes, Helen x
