I had the pleasure of shooting with Brian today in his awesome ManCave.

He was kind enough to pick me up from the station with a smile and a great sense of humour.

He gave me a quick tour around his gorgeous studio, it is very well equipped, you have everything you will ever need!

I was really impressed with his quirky unique props & jewellery and I really enjoyed our time creating stunning images.

He shows you all of images from the day on his laptop which is really helpful, very excited to see the finished results.

He also gives you plenty of breaks and endless cups of tea.

He is friendly, outgoing and respectful.

Highly recommend

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Brian today. I arrived to friendly and warm welcome (plus a quick tour of his stunning home), before heading into his studio.

There is a lovely model area with a mirror, great lights, plugs, hooks for clothes...basically everything you could want.

Brian had lots of ideas for the shoot and had props aplenty to make the ideas into reality. He managed to do super quick set changes whilst I was getting changed so theres great diversity between the images.

He showed me images throughout the shoot which is so helpful for adjusting poses...or that stray hair!

Overall I cannot recommend Brian enough, he made me feel very comfortable and captured some amazing images and I'd be more than happy to work with him again.

Today I had my long awaited shoot with Brian and all I can say is it was well worth the wait and the long drive.

Brian made we feel welcome, warm and comfortable. I had a great day shooting with him the time just seemed to fly fast. He was full on wonderful ideas, gave direction well and has the most beautiful studio setting and probs. The first time I saw his work I fell in love with it and I know I will be very happy with the images. His images are truly amazing and something I would put on my bedroom wall. There's so much more I could say, Brian is an amazing man, and we got on really well.

Very highly recommended, thank you for a great day.

This was my first of many shoots, i hope with this superb photographer. From the start the comm's were good, the shoot was well worked out, and the time flew by so quickly, there was so much more that we would have liked to have achieved. No problem we arranged another shoot for in a few days time. The images from the shoot are very pleasing to say the least. Super shoot, thank you so much.

So happy I got the chance to visit Brian at the ManCave on Monday (ha I love that name!!). Brian is such a pleasure to work with, he has a wonderful studio with great facilities, props, clothing..you name it, he has it :D. Brian is fun to work with, clear with direction, enthusiastic, friendly and full of great ideas and concepts. I felt totally relaxed and free to suggest ideas also and the whole shoot just flew by.

Brian is a fantastic photographer, I love his style and I have already seen three images which I am so so happy with, he really knows how to get the best out of his models. Totally happy to recommend Brian...if you get the chance to work with him, grab it with both hands. Thanks for a really fab shoot. :D

I finally got to shoot with Brian at the ManCave on Tuesday and what a lovely shoot it was!

The space is full of stunning props which he uses for set dressing, a truly amazing experience watching him design and set the scenes, whilst using perfect angles & framing...

Brian is a most wonderful host and a fabulous photographer who has such a beautiful style, it was such an honour to see it in action & be able to work with such a talented professional as he!

I cannot recommend Brian enough, what a fantastic guy :)

I have been looking forward to shooting with Brian for a few months and just WOW!!!! I finally made it :-) and It really was worth the wait! Brian is such a lovely guy with amazing talent.He is relaxed, friendly, chatty, respectful, easy to talk to and to work with.His hospitality is second to none. We shot at his gorgeous home studio, equipped with amazing props, jewellery , beautiful fabrics, tea, coffee and everything else a model needs :-) including a gorgeous, warm dressing gown.

Brian was kind enough to let my husband come along and it was lovely! The shoot went by so quickly!

Brian puts the images onto the computer screen immediately, throughout the shoot and it really helped to see where I could improve or to simply go "wow" every minute. His photography is just amazing!!!

I find Brian a true inspiration and I am honoured to have had the opportunity to work with him. I would absolutely love to work with him again.

1000% 😀 recommended !!!!

Thank you so, so much. I am soooo happy with the images!!! X

there are not enough words to explain how much I enjoyed my shoot at the Mancave with Brian, he was friendly, fun ad a great person to talk with between images and his eye for detail is second to none.

I loved every minute of our shoot together and didn't even notice the time fly by, I would highly recommend Mancave as a photographer for beginners and highly experienced models alike and I will definitely be returning very soon!

We had a second shoot and it went amazing :) I absolutely love the new pictures, even more than the old ones. It was already fantastic last time, and this time I don't have words to describe how amazing the photos are. Highly recommended!

Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with - a photographer that is truly passionate, professional and full of brilliance. My experience was refreshing, he has fantastic visions and knows what he's looking for. His inspiration is drawn from real, beautiful forms of art and that initial spark of authenticity was carried through our whole shoot. A very good day, and great company. Thank you Brian.

Had an incredible shoot with Brian yesterday! He was very professional and an easy going guy. I was still a tad unsure how to pose but he guided me perfectly and we created some brilliant shots. I cannot wait to shoot again with Brian and would highly recommend him.

I had the privilege of working with Brain on a photoshoot I liked the idea of! I am still learning in the area of art nude so I was slightly unsure of my posing at first, how ever Brian directed me well and came up with some amazing ideas! Very different to what I have experienced before.

He has a gorgeous home studio with everything you need! He was super friendly and made me feel welcome, safe and comfortable. Brian is also very professional and a super talented photographer!

Thankyou very much:) I would definitely recommend!!

I had my first shoot with Brian today and had an absolutely fantastic shoot from start to end.

Brian is instantly likeable. He is friendly, professional and funny too, meaning that the shoot is relaxed and enjoyable. He is extremely patient and takes time to ensure that poses, lighting and props are perfect. Being able to see our photos instantly download onto the computer was very handy and a brilliant touch.

I was stunned at the amount of great props that Brian has in his home studio, and they all work together to create a fantastic set which just work with the extremely imaginative ideas that Brian comes up with.

I am so looking forward to seeing our edits and I would love to work with Brian again and again. Thoroughly recommended and thank you for a fabulous day full of laughter and fun, with some wonderful photography thrown in :)

Brian is a wonderfully kind, funny and professional photographer, it felt very natural and easy talking to him and its hard not to enjoy his company whilst working.

I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity, by Brian, to work together, it was thoroughly enjoyable and a good laugh and such an open gentleman.

What a studio full of exciting treasures he has to play with too!

You could never be lost for composition and ideas for images. Brian clearly spends a great deal of time thinking about ideas to suit whom he is working with and creates wonderful scenes and stages to surround, you cant help but bring your best.

100% worth the long travel to and back, I would love to work with him again and still feeling lucky to have done so, I'm excited to see edits for sure.

An incredible man to everyone who meets him must be a certain, Thank you so much!

Had the absolute pleasure of working with this wonderful photographer again!! His pre-shoot communications were excellent, I knew exactly what he wanted and the style he was after. Brian is the most bubbly, fun and lovely guy around!! Every shoot with him is always a bag of laughs, he is just such an enjoyable person to be around! Brian has such lovely energy and charisma, it really helps relax a model and gets the best out of them!

Brian puts a huge amount of planning, time and thought into his shoots, he creates beautiful sets to compliment his models and it takes his work to an entirely new level of beauty and drama! His dedication to his photography is truly impressive and it pays off in the absolutely beautiful images he produces.

When I worked with Brian this time there were 3 models but this was no challenge for him! He was excellent at giving direction and kept his eye open to make sure that all 3 models looked their best and were well posed.

His work is gorgeous, he is an amazingly nice and lovely person to be around and I couldn't recommend him more. Thanks once again Brian!! :)

Another wonderful shoot with Brian (our fourth), this time joined by two very lovely ladies! Brian's just wonderful - it's such a pleasure to model for him. He's got SUCH blimmin' good taste, and you know the results will be excellent quality. Aside from that, he's lovely, fun, great sense of humour, has props galore and the time flies by. I'm always impressed and able to highly recommend him - I hope we'll shoot again and again! :-)

I had my second shoot with Mancave today, within a trio alongside talented beauties Ella Rose & Lulu Lockhart!

I absolutely loved every moment and I'm so grateful to be booked on such a gorgeous shoot, and for Brian to have the idea to bring us all together, it worked wonderfully with our styles & features, in addition to all getting on so well.

The set was luxurious, and ideal for a trio with different layers and levels to pose on. Brian is so positive and easy to work with, reviewing images as we went and allowing us to refine details and ideas, whilst shooting tethered made it loads easier to get an idea of our shapes within the composition - so we really got to shine as a unit :-)

Brian's lighting of course was beautiful, and the atmospheric music just made the perfect shoot - I really felt transported to another time as I lounged with my fellow silken-haired goddesses ;-) We had so much fun and I can whole-heartedly recommend Brian to any models, and I am most definitely honoured to work with him anytime!

Ok so I shot with ManCave on my tour of the south, I was soooo excited to be working with him as his work is amazing I'm sure we can all agree on that! and my pictures certainly did not disappoint! such a unique lovely style.

Brian is a genuine lovely guy, who made the shoot very enjoyable and the time flew by! which is always a good sign. he provided me with snacks and refreshments which had me sold :)

I can't recommend ManCave high enough, he's definitely your go to guy if your looking for amazing unique pictures of extremely high quality.

I would jump at the chance of working together one day,

all the best viv

Had my second shoot with Brian a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be more happy with the results! Love shooting with Brian, we always have interesting things to chat about and he makes sure I am never bored, as well as always introduces me to some new great tunes. Obviously, the photos came out stunning. Would gladly work with him again. Highly recommended by me!

I had a fabulous shoot with Brian today. He is so talented, and gifted, it was a real pleasure to work with him. He has such a warming personality and makes you feel instantly comfortable . He was already prepared when I arrived, so after a quick coffee we was good to go.

I would 100% recommend Brian as he certainly knows how to capture a truly stunning image .

Thank you for working with me.
