I had an exceptionally successful shoot with Andrew. Andrew was on point with his communicating before during and after the shoot with is very comforting for a model, she needs to be prepared and to be in the know so that there's balance.

Together, we worked as a team on planning. Andrew excels in outdoor, nature shoots, he has his own location options but chose to come my way which was also nature based but we did something different ro expected and shot near graffiti, the results were beautiful.

Andrew is laid back and easy going. We had to move locations which involved carrying his heavy bags and waiting patiently for wardrobe change, there was no problem.. it was easy breezy!

He has clear knowledge on how to make an image really stand out.

He was straight on it when it came to sending images over and editing.

I look forward to us shooting again.

Highly recommend

I had my first shoot with Andrew today, which was an outdoor shoot in a field. Despite the cold weather he was more than happy to go ahead and take some amazing shots! He was there waiting and ready for the shoot when I arrived.

He made me feel extremely comfortable and always ensured to check if was okay or not with any suggestions he had. I was able to freely pose and engage with Andrew during the shoot.

He created a relaxed atmosphere where I felt I could really be myself and just keep going through the shoot despite the terrible weather!

I would definitely recommend shooting with Andrew and I hope to have more shoots with him in the future :)

First time shoot! :)

Andrew and I got in touch via Instagram platform and decided to work together on a beach location shoot. We organised this fairly quickly and shot in the evening.

Pre coms very great, I picked Andrew up and traveled to a location near by. Andrew is quite laid back and allowed me to freely pose throughout the shoot. He’s a very chatty guy and the shoot went by really quickly.

The quality of the photos are outstanding and I cannot wait to see more!

Had a shoot with Andrew today! Pre communication was brill, he worked around when I was free to shoot. Really laid back and chatty, also had good banter but stayed professional throughout. Was also very respectful between changes as he turned around and gave me that privacy. He came all the way to Merthyr and just trusted a location I picked out, it was raining and the ground was boggy and hilly so wasn’t the easiest to navigate but Andrew was brilliant about it. I’ve seen the unedited images and am wowed by the quality alone! Can’t wait to see the edited ones and can’t wait to work with you again

Had a shoot with Andrew today, really enjoyed myself and would recommend him! He is very chatty, funny and makes you feel comfortable instantly. I’ve been wanting to collab with him for a while as his work is gorgeous! He is patient with the model, takes consideration for how she is feeling/her own ideas and is the right amount of professional and friendly.

Very happy to have done this collab.

I’ve worked with Andrew three times and each time was better than the last!

Very professional and polite in the pre-coms.

During the shoots he was professional but we were still able to build a rapport and he made me feel very comfortable.

Post shoot he sent me edits so quickly and I loved them!

I could not recommend him more!

I was talking to Andrew about shooting for a long time prior to actually shooting but due to COVID we only got around to shooting a couple weeks back.

Before the shoot i had a good idea about what i was going in to and had a good idea about the shots we both wanted to achieve. The shoot felt very relaxed and we managed to get shots in multiple locations. I am very happy with how the shots turned out and the final results.

would definitely recommend Andrew.

Been talking to Andrew for a while about shooting and finally had time to shoot together and what can I say it was amazing

His pre shoot communication was great and gave a good perspective on what we would be creating. He is open to ideas and incredibly helpful with directing posing when stuck on what to do.

It was a very cold and wet day, Andrew was considerate of the conditions, we shot in sheltered areas but if it got too cold he was okay with having warm up breaks.

The shoot was very relaxed and filled with conversation, I felt comfortable throughout and can't believe we shot for 5 hours, the time flew by.

Super happy with how the images are looking so far, Andrew is very talented and would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a photographer 🤗

Had a winter beach shoot with Andrew on Monday, Andrew arrived on time at the station, and we drove together to location. Conversation flowed and I was at ease with him. Pre coms were good , and we were both well aware of what we wanted to achieve.

On arrival at location we quickly started and shot for about an hour, the shots look amazing , despite being freezing and windy....and can't wait to share.

I would 100% recommend shooting with Andrew and look forward to working with him again.

Was super lucky enough to have a second shoot booked in with Andrew yesterday, only this time it involved me wearing more clothes in the streets of Cardiff Bay!

I already knew it was going to be a good shoot and amazing images were going to be captured... We managed to complete 3 different looks in about 3 different locations around the bay, and they all worked super well!

Andrew always ensures that the camera is in focus, the lighting is perfect and that there is no background that spoils the image. He even goes the extra mile to capture a shot, such as him going over the other side of the barrier of the river!

Andrew gets in effortlessly with his images, he will capture all your angles to make sure you get the image you want or what's best for you.

I got a lot of time for Andrew, yesterday sadly I only had 3 hours but could happily shoot with him longer.

I think/hope we'll be working again soon!

All I can say is that if you are after some top quality, professional photos then contact Andrew, the editing and outcome of his images are worthy to put on your portfolio, beginner or professional

I've worked with Andrew twice now and he's honestly amazing, great communication before shooting and afterwards, while on the shoot he let me do my own thing but offered directions now and then, which were a great help! He's super considerate he even gave me his coat to hide under when i got too cold!! all in all a very talented and lovely dude would highly recommend 😊

Hopefully we will be shooting again in the future. With a little less of a travel. For the both of us. Lol

Thank you so much :)

It was a pleasure to work with Andrew today!

The pre communication was excellent & Andrew was early arriving, he was ready & waiting.

Andrew has a lovely laid back, chilled attitude which leaves it impossible not to feel completely relaxed & comfortable with him.

After having taken a year out I was nervous to shoot, I wish I hadn’t been, Andrew made me feel completely at ease.

I am really looking forward to seeing the outcome of the images & would certainly like to work with him again...highly recommended !

Andrew was professional, laid back, relaxed and really fun to work with. Showed up with lots of bits of kit to adapt to various potential scenarios.

We went for a walk around the Bristol canal stopping to take photos wherever we fancied. I felt super at ease and he made me laugh lots which is always a plus in my eyes!

The shoot was a long time coming and definitely looking forward to working with him again! I've just gotten the images back and they are fantastic!

After seeing and liking Andrews work on Instagram for a while, we finally got talking and arranged a beach shoot after I had shown interest in the shoot choice and Andrew kindly offered to shoot me.

I was so excited for our shoot I had a feeling it would be a good one. Thankfully, when we met, Andrew understood my humour and we got along just fine!

He would take shots using different lenses, angles and styles suitable for the poses. Very patient, professional and easy to work with. Andrew understands the quality of an image and how he wants an image to look. I was left to it to create poses and explain what I wanted to portray, he would go to his efforts to make it. He understands scenery and what he wants from an image, from lighting to background.

Together, we had created some amazing images, were both pretty pleased seeing them raw from the camera! I'm really thankful that Andrew managed to capture all the right angles and make me feel good Infront of the camera. Were definitely shooting again

To sum shooting with Andrew : if you want top quality images, with a professional easy going tog, then Andrews your guy!

Had a last minute shoot with Andrew yesterday. We've been meaning to shoot for some time but we've both always been too busy.

We did a shoot in a forest in Llanelli. He was quite happy for me to wear whatever I wanted and pose how ever I wanted whitch is always a bonus.

Andrew is very friendly and easy going and clearly loves what he does and his work just keeps getting better.

Look forward to seeing the pictures.

Would definitely recommend working with Andrew.

A second shoot is definitely needed.

I had my shoot with Andrew at Bute Park in Cardiff. He was so chilled, laid back and easy to talk to which made me feel really comfortable when it came to shooting with him. It did start to rain throughout the shoot but either way the shoot was successful. He was so lovely to work with, highly recommend and would definitely work with him again!! 😀

I had my first shoot with Andrew in my home and it was great. Conversations before the shoot were amazing although it wasn't a planned shoot and it happened quickly but I'm glad we went along with it 😊

I'm glad I worked with Andrew and for sure I will work with him again. He takes lovely portraits which I love and we even went crazy and used jam which ended up looking like a murder scene and the images looked cool, we had a lot of fun with the shoot and I felt comfortable 👌🏼 He's very chilled, a lovely man, and enjoys photography which is nice to see.

Keep at it you're doing great 😊
