Second shoot with Simon, and as before it was a wonderful experience! I really loved being painted on, and Simon is brilliant company. I highly recommend, and the photos produced speak for themselves.

I'd met Simon before, I'd heard about his work and seen shoots that he had been a part of. I was so excited when he asked if I would be his model for the upcoming SWBPP meet.

He kept me very well informed of what we would be creating on the day. Great communication.

On the day he was respectful, very funny and easy to work with.

A rare talent with some wonderful ideas and years of experience which really came through. I was so pleased with the result.

Simon is encouraging and laid back- a pleasure to work with and I'd be excited to work with him again.

Thank you for such a positive experience.

My first experience being fully painted - all over! And I loved it!

Simon is easy to be around, a lovely guy and clearly experienced and knowledgable, and happy to share his knowledge. A comfortable and safe environment, we both enjoyed chatting and sharing stories (while painting, of course) and also peaceful silence - important for a long session. I really loved the whole experience and very much hope it will happen again sometime.

Highly recommended.

Second shoot with Simon and it was a blast! Simon is such great company and makes you feel at ease. It is often nerve racking to be nude in front of photographers and he treats you with consideration to make sure you are comfortable and good to shoot. I recommend him very much!

Sniper shoot with Simon was awesome 👏

Lovely man .. made me very welcome! Paid for my train tickets and the studio was all set up! The images came out really well.. I would recommend!

I do hope in the new year to work with a bit of body paint :)

I had a wonderful day with Simon - my first body painting experience - and I loved it! :)

I was already well aware of Simon's excellent reputation, and both my partner and a friend had been singing his praises for ages now, so we got in touch through Facebook and I'm really pleased that we did!

Simon is very easy to talk to - really friendly, welcoming, and very approachable. He's laid back and he put me at ease - at no point did I feel under any pressure at all.

Simon is very professional in his work, and ensured that I was comfortable at all times. The body painting was done at his house, and I felt quite at home there. The room was kept nice and warm for me. I feel that Simon is very trustworthy and I had no problem with what amounts to a stranger painting *every* inch of my body - at no point was I uncomfortable with this - as surreal as that sounds, it was not a problem at all - he really does work in a very polite and respectful way and his work ethic is commendable!... And I'm not surprised - with 601 body paints before me, he has got more than a bit of experience...

The body painting took a few hours, but time flew by - it didn't feel that long at all! Simon has a great sense of humour and made interesting conversation too. Afterwards we took some pictures of the work. This was a little out of my comfort zone (I'm not a studio model), but again Simon put me at ease and gave good direction too. I am really pleased with the results! Some very different images for my portfolio - I'm really chuffed!

I feel like I have learnt a lot from the day's shoot and painting session! It was a really good day - thank you!

Simon is an incredible artist - it is great to meet and work with fellow creatives. I'm really looking forward to another painting session - now I know what to expect, I have many ideas and I would very much like to collaborate further....

After Simon's cat had licked off some of the paint from my hands (!) I then drove home, still painted, so I could show my partner the artwork. It felt a real shame to wash it all off afterwards (it washed off very easily with a shower scrubber). I would have liked to have worn the paint for longer - I was really proud of the work!

Absolutely 100% recommended - if you have the opportunity to work with this lovely gentleman, then you should jump at the chance!

First shoot with Simon today and first time being body painted... It was amazing to watch an artist at work and the focus/dedication. He is a top guy, we had a chat before we set up and he explained how everything works to me. He is so respectful of the model as being body painted, I know that anyone can feel nervous but he is so polite and always asks about how the model feels etc. He is also lovely company. I can’t wait to see the pictures and to come back again. Thanks for an awesome day!

Had the pleasure of working with Simon in an experimental shoot with different lighting. He turned up early, the studio was set up and ready and we shot longer than we had planned but came out with some intresting images.

I do hope in the new year to work with him again

Had a great first shoot with Simon, we had a lovely easy first shoot with many plans for the future.

Can’t wait for our next instalment

This was my first time doing a body paint shoot and Simon was amazing made me feel very comfortable we had a great laugh together as well would 100% recommend him and look forward to our next shoot xx

Simon is an absolute dream to work with, and it really was something special this time round because in fact we had worked together once before, but that was five years prior to our shoot in 2019 during my South Wales tour. The first time we worked together was at Showzam at the Blackpool pleasure beach where I had a full body paint done by Simon. His artwork is completely mind blowing! This guy is so unbelievably talented and it’s good to see that he still is going out there and achieving his dreams as a body artist.

The second time we worked together was at his home in his upstairs studio. The body art was completely different from that which I had done in Blackpool, but still had just as much as the wow factor that the first one had! Simon is super professional, respectful, allows breaks in between if you need to stand up and walk around, and you have time for dinner and drinks in between.

Simon Captured his body artwork beautifully and I only hope I done him proud by modelling it to the best of my ability. The day had just flown by as we had so much fun, and it looked so damn good that I just did not want to jump in the shower to wash it all off! If I was going home that day I just would’ve left it but I had a shoot later in the evening so sadly I had to scrub it all off which was just soul destroying!

I do hope to work with Simon again soon, and I highly recommend him to any model whether they have done body art or not. If you are looking for something uniquely incredible then this is your man.

Thanks again Simon. Always a pleasure working with you.

Many thanks

Well another painty day with Si, I absolutely love painty days and Si really knows his stuff. Talented in so many ways and always a pleasure to talk with. chill relaxed paint followed by some epic shootiness! Would happily recommend working with si and looking forward to more creative days and fun shoots!

I worked with Si at the Glastonbury Body Art Festival on Saturday - it was my first 'proper' full body paint event and although it was a long day the time flew by as Si was so easy to get on with - we had a good natter and a laugh whilst working, and Si made sure our parts ran smoothly!

Si is such a considerate and professional body painter - he made sure I was comfortable at every stage, kept me up to date with the paint status, made sure I was warm and comfortable at all times and I was able to take regular rest and stretch breaks - I couldn't have asked for more! The art work he created was stunning, especially the wings he created for the event. It's easy to see why he's so well respected by those he works with.

Pre- event communication was fab - I knew exactly what was going to happen on the day and the pre-event chats made me feel at ease to be working with Si ahead of the long schedule.

I'd thoroughly recommend working with this gent if ever there's a chance - I'll be jumping at the chance if there's one again!

I absolutely love Si!

I done my first ever body paint / art nude and I'm so glad it was with Simon, bloody loved every minute. The art work is INCREDIBLE and Si has the patience of gold, and is very comfortable and easy going to work with. SI has become a good mate/ photog of mine and I would highly recommend in general and if it's your first time doing nude shoots as he's very professional.

Bloody loved you Si you're an absolute delight. Hopefully more to come. I've never wanted to not have a shower in my life! X

Yesterday I worked with Simon after seeing him for a few years and it was safe to at that we carried on from where we left off.

The day went so smoothly, we chatted, we laughed,(I snoozed whilst he painted my tummy hehe) and we created some FANTASTIC images!

Its an obvious thing to say but Simon is so talented and he inspires me greatly.

We are already talking about future plans of work and for that I cannot wait.

I highly recommend connecting with this artist. He will create something like no other and you will NEVER be disappointed. His time should be well respected.

loves you lots Si, you slightly crazy mate, lashes

Had my first (but hopefully not my last) body paint photo shoot. Si painted me for 5 hours, chatting to him was so easy and a real joy to be around. Si makes you feel instantly relaxed and the painting and photos from what I've seen, speak for themselves!! What a talent this guy is!

Vicky Lang

Worked with Simon very recently !!! Very professional and happy with his nude art work !! Was very nervous as this was my first ever time I have done anything like this!! He calmed my nerves and put me at ease the whole time ! Pleasure to work with and am sure I will work with him very soon

Ashleigh Taylor

Had the pleasure of meeting Simon today, we got on like a house on fire, chatty and full of enthusiasm, his company is amazing.

I done a basic studio shoot with Si today, I was sooo gutted there was no body paint involved but we're already planning our second shoot! Can't fucking wait. Obviously you need to shoot with him! Such amazing talent

Ella Morgan

I had my first bodypaint shoot with Simon and I cannot wait to do it again. As soon as I got there he instantly made me feel at ease and I never felt awkward. It was a new experience for me and I couldn’t have asked for anything better, he completely fantastic. Simon is also one of the most talented people I’ve met as well as being the funniest and most genuine. I would highly recommend him and his work as he is completely professional and a wonderful person to work with.
