Had a great 2nd shoot with Simon and it was my first time getting body painted! He picked me up from the station and was always lovely, and made sure I felt comfortable. The painting process was very relaxing and went so quickly and the design was amazing, super talented guy! I love the pics, will definitely have to come back again! Highly recommend X

I'd worked with Si 6 years ago, and then again this year. I love his approach to life and to his art, there's no bullsh*t, nothing unnecessary - he's punctual with great communication, consistently considerate, totally laid back and very professional. Regardless of how much time is spent in his company, it's always a joy. His art is inspiring, and I can't wait for our next project together! Very highly recommended

I Had a great time yesterday. I’ve wanted to shoot with Simon for a while now and it was worth the wait. I love the artwork he did so much I didn’t want to wash it off.

He’s a really nice and interesting guy, not to mention very talented. He’s also very respectful. I trusted him completely and I felt very comfortable with him.

I would definitely recommend him and am looking forward to our next shoot.

Thank you for an awesome day :-)

Simon is a great artist!

We planned to work together on a body paint shoot for sometime.

Once we came to the perfect concept there was no time to waste!Pre communication was spot on.

We sent each other different patterns and Simon outlined everything i needed to know to make sure I was fully prepared to ensure no discomfort on the shoot.

He was respectable great to talk to and the shoot was a real confidence boost.

Really relaxed shoot with lots of laughs and smiles never imagined being so comfortable on my first body paint shoot almost forgot i was in the nude!

He made sure the room was heated for comfort and i was given regular cups of tea! And even the house cat was friendly and welcoming.

Highly Recommend!

Loved the results from the ideas we brought together overall amazing experience and love the images I've received Hope to work together again in the near future!

I've worked with Simon for about 5 years now and his work never ceases to amaze me with the level of detail and the speed he completes his work.

He's a great photographer too as you'll see from his Portfolio.

Love his work and we get on famously as I'm sure every one does when they work with him. I'm looking forward to capturing another of his master pieces very soon.

Highly recommended

Simon was incredible!

Both of us were lucky enough to be part of Glastonbury’s first Body Painting Event - he spent over 6 hours creating beautiful artwork and was a delight to be around.

Definitely recommended for the extremely high quality of work!

Simon took part in the First ever Glastonbury Body art festival and his model looked absolutely stunning. I guess looking at his portfolio it kind of speaks volumes.. Def recommended

Had a fun day with Simon with my first body paint experience. It. Wasn't awkward or crude whatsoever. Simon is the most chatty and lovely guy you could wish to meet in the industry. His skills are amazing.. There's not much he can't do in the art department! I am impressed and am definitely keen to work with him again.

Worked with Simon today doing my VERY FIRST Greek goddess style body paint!

Loved every single minute of it even though it was a very long 6 hours but Simon made me feel very comfortable and his pre coms made me feel settled and welcome.

His artistic style is amazing and his steady hand and eye coordination is on point.

Would definitely work with him again and definitely recommend!!

I worked with Simon in a festival for 5 days. He was very patient with me going the extra mile and giving me extra shots. I am very pleased with the results. I even had the chance to be painted by him (life saver ;)). He is amazing to work with very funny and down to earth man. I can't wait to be painted by him again and have a full studio photo shoot. I would highly recommend him he's an awesome chap :).

I had my first ever body-paint shot today with Simon/ever. Felt at-ease from the word 'go', had a good laugh & thoroughly enjoyed the day. His art was beautiful & it was a privilege to be a canvas for the day! Thank you, Simon!

I had a fantastic day with Simon, he put a casting up for a Vegas style piece and I was sold!

Simon was amazing as always on the day, he kept making sure I was warm and comfortable and the hours flew by for me.

The final piece looked absolutely amazing and I know Simon was a little worried as he's been out of painting for a little bit for health reasons but I must say if that's Simon on an off day then the other body painters better watch out because it was nothing but a piece of art, I didn't want to wash it off!

Thank you for an another amazing day,

I look forward to working with you again.

Did an absolutely fantastic body painting shoot with Marshon SFX at his home studio.

I was really impressed with his style and creativity, he made me feel comfortable throughout as he painted my entire body but also kept a professional attitude which put me at ease.

With his quirky sense of humour, quick thinking and patience Marshon SFX is the perfect photographer.

I arrived at the station at 9am and left at 7pm, time just flew by as there was never a dull moment with this multitalented photographer.

I do hope to shoot with him again.

Highly recommended.

I've worked with Simon a few times now and I would recommend his work as it's extremely amazing I have never felt so comftable and relaxed in his presence and his work is outstanding I can't say enough good things about him tbh and il work with him again soon :) and as often as I could so if you'd like to be apart of something special I'd work with Simon xxx

Had my first bodypaint shoot with Simon today and thoroughly enjoyed.

Simon took a situation that could easily have been uncomfortable and made it pleasant and interesting, as well as routinely checking that I was okay and happy.

His design and application were incredible, and I am delighted with the resultant pictures.

I wholeheartedly recommend Simon.

This was my first shoot with Simon, he is an incredible artist, photographer and human being! It felt like I'd known him for years after only speaking to him for 10 minutes, I think the English accent may have had something to do with that!

Simon has so many great stories to tell and a genuinely interesting guy to work with.

The artwork that was achieved on the day was absolutely incredible and it was a facinating experience to watch it all come together on my very own body.

I would shoot with Simon again in a heartbeat I highly urge models to undergo a project with him as he really is the best of the best and you'll have one of the most memorable days of your modeling career!

I had my first body painting experience with Simon yesterday at his home studio and had an absolutely fantastic time!

Simon is such a laid back, funny and very interesting person and I felt instantly at ease and comfortable with him even when it came time to undress and get painted. He's a wonderfully creative, talented artist and I was instantly taken with all the beautiful and very 'outside the box' work adorning his home, which proved to be a considerable talking point - he must have been tired of me asking by the end of the day!

Very professional, he takes great pride in his work and it reflects in his paintings and photography entirely. Simon is a great storyteller and very kindly shared his past experiences, techniques and inspirations with me as he worked - we were nattering quite happily for ages about future collaborations and potential ideas and I've been thoroughly inspired by it! His talents also extend to prop making, prosthetics, casting body parts - all sorts!

Although we were painting for quite a few hours, he always made sure that I was comfortable enough, warm and was able to take any breaks if I needed them. It's a joy to watch him work as his paintings are so vastly different and colourful each time and he made me perfectly at ease with the process, keeping me informed of what he was doing as it happened and making sure I was happy with his design step by step.

The shoot itself took place in Simon's home studio, which is really well equipped and very professional. Simon is so easy to work with! He gives direction but encourages you to incorporate your own ideas as well; making sure he -and I quote- gets the best possible shot first time, every time. He very kindly went through all of the images with me following the shoot and the results are just brilliant! I had a wonderful day all in all and I can't wait to see the final edited images.

I would recommend Simon 110% to anybody. He's a true professional and a genuinely lovely, talented guy. I hope to work with him again in the future.
