Shot with Mancave today. Turned up to a beautifully lit studio with some amazing props. All ready to shoot. He was well organised, knew exactly what he wanted to get out of the shoot and took some fantastic images.

Very polite and respectful. Constantly made sure I was warm enough and had enough to drink. Highly recommended!

Had a brilliant second shoot with Brian. Once again pre comms was impeccable, he was very accommodating and a really nice person to be around. We shot images that was a bit different and I am so pleased with the results. Thank you for an enjoyable day, had so much fun. Hope we can shoot again one day. Definitely recommended!!!!!

Mancave has a real artistic talent for composition, creating thematic scenes and unearthly atmosphere in his nicely equipped and comfortable studio. His shots look already amazing before the processing, so post-processing is just breathtaking. He has a great imagination and aesthetic way of presenting a model. If he was born a couple of centuries ago, he would make an excellent Flemish-style artist. He is also a very welcoming and friendly person. I highly recommend him.

I had the most wonderful shoot with Brian today.

We shot at his studio which is thoughtfully equipt with everything I could possibly need. He was great to work with. Gave direction and feedback. Very professional and friendly. Would love to shoot again in the future.

Wonderful day. Felt like I was in another era.

Thank you. Em x

Brian is a fantastic photographer who I'd highly recommend working with. Brian made me feel very welcomed and at ease on location. Everything I could possibly need to prepare for the shoot was to hand, which made it all the more easier to get into character for the awesome photos Brian took. I'm a newbie when it comes to doing nude shoots, but I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely work with Brian again if the opportunity comes.

I had a fantastic shoot with Brian on Thursday. Pre shoot comms were great, had a good range of ideas and super easy to work with. A really productive and fun shoot. I hope to work with him again and can't wait to see the results from our shoot. Highly recommended!

OMG I first approcahed Mancave about 5 months ago and boy was it worth the wait...and the epic 10 hours on trains to travel to and from his amazing studio.

Brian was fantastic from the get go with his pre shoot communication and his ideas, he was also keen to incorporate my ideas as well.

I had badgered him to do a lady of shalott with me and actually couldn't believe it when I entered his beautiful studio and was met with a almost spot on replica of the boat from the painting, the whole scene was breathtaking and he had paid such attention to detail it blew my mind.

Brian is a breath of fresh air he is really easy to talk to great to get along with and gives incredible direction, he really throws 200% into his shoots, the time simply flew by and I was gutted when it was time to go home.

You must work with Brian if you have the chance he is everything you imagine him to be and much much more. Thank you Brian xxx

I don't know what to say, This man is an absolute genius! His work is completely out of this world and I had immense fun working with him. Brian is very respectful and easy to get on with, we had a great chat throughout the shoot and achieved some really breath taking results. The mancave is such an amazing studio space with a lot of fun props which really brings it all to life. Brian has an amazing eye for detail and was so easy to work with.

I highly recommend him as he is a really lovely guy and an amazingly talented photographer! :)

I feel very fortunate to have returned to the ManCave recently for a second shoot. Brian is such a kind, considerate person and a pleasure to work with. I really appreciated being able to review the images on the computer and I feel that it helped us to nail the shots. As expected, the images are amazing and I'm elated. Brian is a very talented, dedicated photographer and I can't recommend him highly enough.

I had my first shoot with Brian this week and we got such a great range of images from a single shoot. We went for a very dramatic bodypainting session, which admittedly took hours of MUA /preparation time, but the resulting image will add a new dimention to my port as i have not done this before. A "costume" was painted onto me, so watch this space for the result! We did a second session with a light, airy, romantic, classical feel to it, with a "fashion" make up of soft pastels, so thats very different too. Brian is very imaginative on his shoots and produces uniquely beautiful results, time after time. Oh...and the studio reminds me of Dr Who and the Tardis...all the amazing high tech gadgets and gizmos. His investment to his Fine Arts is immense, hope i managed to do it justice!

Today I shot with Brian for the first time and it was a pure pleasure. Brian is such a nice person who is very welcoming, kind, easy to get along with and great company during the shoot.

Brian has a fantastic creative vision for his shoots and he pays attention to all the details which make his images so good. Brian communication skills are very good, he makes you feel at ease straight away which which makes the whole experience an enjoyable one.

I had a lovely morning session with Brian and I would be more than happy to recommend him to other models and creative's out there.

Thank you Brian and see you again :)

Had a wonderful shoot with Brian yesterday. Pre-communication was good and I knew exactly what to bring and expect from the shoot. We arrived at his home studio in the morning after a long drive and was immediately greeted with a warm welcome and refreshments. His studio is an Aladdin's cave of goodies and props, he even has access to more! endless possibilities. Think we got great images from what I saw from the back of the camera, can't wait to see the final results :D Brian is a kind and friendly photographer giving helpful and concise direction. Would definitely recommend him to all models new and experienced alike. Thank you very much for a great day! Hopefully work with you again in the future.

Had the fantastic opportunity to shoot with Brian in his Mancave on Monday and had a lovely time. Myself and two other Welsh models made the trip, arriving to a well prepared photographer and his beautiful studio. Brian is sweet and gentle in his mannerisms and considerate of those he works with. His photography is of an amazing standard and he knows what he likes and how to achieve it, both through technical skill and model direction. Highly recommend.

Had great shoot with Brian, it's a long trek down to him for myself and the two other models who traveled down to visit him, totally worth it.

Typically fantastic results from an easy going fun shoot, he managed well with 3 models to light and catch them not itching or blinking.

Friendly and pleasant chap, of course he is recommended.

I had my second shoot with Brian at the Mancave on Sunday :-) working along side the lovely Golden Ivory, we captured some pretty amazing images with us both covered in clay. Brian is great to work with and is amazing with lighting and smoke effects for a scene. He's amassed some awesome props, which look amazing in images and he's just creative all round.

I highly recommend working with Brian.

What a fantastic shoot with the legendary MANCAVE :) Brian is with out a doubt one of the nicest photographers I've worked with. An incredibly upbeat, laid back and funny character. I felt at ease from the get go, and his pre comms were excellent. This meant we were able to put our ideas, thoughts and concepts together to create some beautiful images. Brian did not fail when it came to the props. I was absolutely wowed by what was provided so we were able to experiment with a few different sets. Not only is Brian very talented with his creative ideas, lighting and photographic skill/interest, but his studio is well equipped for any model (includes air conditioning and a dressing table). Lunch and drinks were provided and also a lift to a from the station. So glad we could work together. Such a star :) look forward to presenting the final images.
