I wonder what else I could say about Brian, but all the good things were already said. I can only confirm that he's great human with a big passion, knowledge and skills. It was absolutely pleasure to work with him!

Thank You Brian for a really good time and amazing pictures!

I worked with Brian the other week on a shoot and what a pleasure it was.

Due to the shoot being booked in so long ago it was crazy to think it was finally here. I had such fun working with Brian and has been one of the most enjoyable shoots I have had for a while. After a couple of bad experiences the past few months it has meant a lot working with someone as professional and kind as he is. I couldn't of felt more welcome and was filled with snacks and coffee from the moment I got through the door. Communication has been fantastic both pre comms and post and the results i've already seen have been wonderful! I am just taking my time in getting round to them :)

There is a definite signature style around Brian's work and I am thrilled to now be a part of it - a fantastic photographer - highly skilled and 110% professional throughout from start to finish! would I recommend him? of course! and I hope to return to the mancave at some point before I hang up my modelling days!

Many thanks for a fantastic shoot

I've been adoring Brian's work for a long time and finally got to work with him last weekend. We penciled the date down for a few months ahead, I was very excited and also a little vervous.

This was my very first implied nude shoot, something I don't normally do. I suggested to do this with Brian because I love his style and I knew we could definitely create some awesome images.

Brian is friendly and such a gentlemen, he picked me up and dropped me off to the station, very welcoming to the studio, constanly asked if I need anymore drinks, he shared a lot of different ideas, he didn't mind me using anything that were in the studio (I was all excited about so many awesome stuff he has). Most importany, Brian made me feel at east and comfortable on my first implied shoot.

He's also very open minded to ideas, he pays attention to details that will help creating perfect images, he directs and communicates very well with the model throughout the shoot. Brian is not just lovely as a person, but he's talented, professional and great at what he does.

The bonus is I've already received 2 amazing images that I am so in love :) I would highly recommend Brian and I hope we will get to work together again in the future.

Thank you again for a great day/session Brian!!

I had a shoot today with Brian and I was mesmerised by his incredible set up!

His studio was utter perfection. He had all of the props we could have ever needed and had an incredible artistic eye for all detail. His style is beautiful and his photos speak for themselves. This was my first implied shoot an Brian made me feel so calm from the word go. Very friendly and welcoming but also very professional. I'd love to work him Brian again in his amazing 'man cave' can't wait to see the final photos! Highly recommended!!

Also Brian has a PC in the studio that the photos come up on easily so you can see how you look, everything was perfect, couldn't have asked for more.

Thanks Brian

I had the absolute pleasure and honour of being welcomed into the famous mancave, I had been feeling rather nervous over this shoot as all his shots are nothing less than exceptional and hoped I could deliver. There was no need for me to be so nervous, Brian is a lovely man and made me feel completely at ease, the hours just flew by. He offered me fab direction, and came up with some amazing sets. During my time there Brian made sure I was completely happy, offering regular tea brakes and plying me with snacks and biccys, he also let me see our progress and was more than happy to redo a shot if I wasn't completely happy. He also gave my partner (a fellow Photographer) some valuable tips which was lovely.

Cant recommended him high enough,absolute pleasure and hope to return in the near future....thanks Brian :)

I'd been nervous about this shoot for a while as it had been in my diary for a few months, but Brian made me feel at ease almost instantly. He gives superb direction, and really pays a lot of attention to the little details that make a big difference to the outcome of the images. I was amazed at the images on the computer as he showed me during the shoot. This man is extremely talented, and then some. Photography awesomeness aside, he's also a good laugh, good company, and very professional. Id recommend Brian to anyone, i feel extremely lucky to have worked with him and wouldn't hesitate an ounce to travel back to Newbury to work with this gentleman again! Thanks a lot Brian!

I feel honored I had the opportunity to work with this wonderful man.. Oh wow, I don't even know where to start. It took me around a year until I finally had the courage to shoot a fully implied session, and Mancave was one photographer whose work I have been following with so much passion right from my very first months of joining PP.

Brian is the most respectful ever, a great photographer who definitely knows what he is doing. You have no idea how much care he puts in every single detail while shooting, just to make sure everything is perfect..

Pre-communications were excellent, and during the shoot he is freaking awesome in giving directions where needed.. He made me feel excellent at all times and I felt the most comfortable ever around him. Especially with me shooting fully implied session, it was awesome the whole day!!

As I am now an official member of Mancave (thank you for giving me that title!! :)), I have no doubt that I will be shooting again and again with this wonderful man . Thank you so much B, you are certainly highly recommended by me. Mona x

Evidently his work is wonderful , beautiful creative genius and I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to be a little part of it . He's great to work with, absolutely put me at ease and is totally professional . I had plenty of good direction and was able to input ideas too which made the shoot productive and enjoyable. All I can say is, it is a day I won't forget and anyone having the chance to work with him is very lucky indeed . First class in every way , sincere thanks , Amber

I finally got to shoot with this Amazing photographer on Wednesday! We had wanted to shoot for a few months already but unfortunately we never managed to sort out a date because of how hectic life is.

Man cave is an absolute joy to work with! He is an absolute star and made me feel 100% comfortable, he knows what he wants in a picture and helps you achieve it.

His studio is amazing with so many cool props!

I definitely recommend him! And would love to shoot with him again!

Ps: This man is a Genius and if you haven't shot with him before I suggest you hurry up!

Had a shoot with Brian yesterday and totally enjoyed it! He is an incredibly talented photographer, very professional, polite and friendly. We had a gorgeous photo shoot and I can't wait to see the results. It was a pleasure to work and interact with Brian, he is interesting and fun to be around, and had a lovely playlist of music playing in the background, so I could even take some notes of the new tunes I discovered. His pre- and post-photo shoot communication was amazing too and he picked me up from the station and drove me back after the shoot. I would definitely recommend Brian and would happily work with him again.

I had an incredible shoot with Brian - he's an absolute pleasure to work with. The Mancave is a fantastic space and there is an impressive collection of props to use in the shots. He has a great eye for creating a set and lighting it beautifully.

Communications beforehand were spot on and Brian is perfectly professional. He very kindly picked me up at the station and dropped me back there when the shoot was finished.

A wonderful photographer - highly recommended!

Finally got to work with Mancave and it was worthy every bit of it including loading the whole family in the car on a Saturday morning. Definitely worthy it! As a person, Brian is friendly and easy to work with not to mention he does encourage one to get the best out and that worked with me very well. All the good things have been said about Mancave and Brian and all i can do is reinforce them. I loved the props and he does play very very nice cool music/sounds too. Our time together went fast but that was because I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you again Mancave.

I had one of my best photo sessions of my life, it was a lots of fun and really professional. He is an extremely talented photographer, I was speechless when I saw the photos. He also made me feel comfortable about being nude. The studio was wonderful too, and a very comfortable place. I definitely recommend to work with him, it is a great experience with beautiful photos as a result.

Just arrived home from my second shoot with the fabulous Brian at his amazing ManCave.

Brian is up there in my favorite people to work with list he is ridiculously talented and a all round nice guy to boot.

Well worth making the 400 mile round trip for I would drive 1000 miles to shoot with Brian. Brian puts 1000% into every shoot and I arrived to find another wonderful set up to fit what I wanted to shoot exactly.

Brian was open to my ideas and executed them perfectly as I knew he would, afterwards there was a little time left over so we shot a little something extra as well.

I only wish Brian lived closer so we could shoot regularly but I am already planning my next trip back to Berkshire, Thanks Brian xx

I finally went to the Mancave for a shoot after almost a year since initial emails! Was totally worth the wait!

Brian is an amazing photographer, really enthusiastic, fabulous eye for detail & has some amazing props.

The shoot went really quickly & we had lots of friendly chat throughout. He gives feedback where needed & was happy for me to do my thing.

He had the images edited & emailed mega fast & I'm in love with them.

Fabulous shoot & I wouldn't hesitate to work together again.

Thank you x

From the moment I met Brian, he was absolutely wonderful. He's friendly and interesting, and helped me feel at ease with my first implied nude shoot. The Mancave is a wonderful space, and it was strange to see the studio, and setup that I've seen in so many of his photos! Brian had a fantastic selection of biscuits and tea, and over the course of the day I probably had four or five cups!

When we started shooting, he gave me directions and told me to think about the position of my legs and hands etc, and after a while I got into the swing of it. The shoot went on for about 4 hours, but it would have been easy to work for much longer. He is a talented and kind photographer, and I would recommend him to any model who wishes to have an enjoyable, and productive photoshoot! Thank you so much, Brian ^_^

I worked with Brian yesterday and had such a fantastic day, He arrived bang on time to collect me from the station and made tea as soon as we got to the studio being very friendly and fun to work with throughout the day while producing great images, I would highly recommend working with Mancave is very creative in his ideas and knows how to get the best results plus has a lovely very well equipped studio and a variation of props plus a draw of rather nice biscuits. Mmmm biscuits, so anyway I would highly recommend Brian an his biscuits to anyone :).
