I had the great opportunity to meet Mel at Windmill Art studio at a group shoot organised by Dean Ireland.

Comms pre-shoot were great so I knew exactly what to expect from Mel when it came to our time slot as such. (Shame the weather wasn't Better)

He gave great direction and I'm loving the images. He was a true gent and would certainly recommend him to anyone.

thank you for the opportunity Mel :)

Had the pleasure of working with Mel at a mega location shoot at WindmillArt studios, he gives great direction and the resulting images are outstanding. I felt completely at ease the whole time even though it was my first ever lingerie shoot!

Hope to work with Mel again soon and definitely recommend him to everyone!

:D

I had such a super time working with Mel on my studio day at Windmill Arts.

Mel is so much fun to work with and his enthusiasm and passion for photography is inspiring (and definitely shows in his fabulous work). Despite it being a long day for me, his energy and charisma kept me going! The two hours we had together just flew by way too quickly. I would work with Mel again in an instant!

Very highly recommended!

I met Mel at a Portfolio Builder day organised by Andrew Appleton and Andrew Griffiths at Saracen House Studio for which I was one of the models! I only got an hour to work with Mel in a small group of photographers but I found Mel to be very friendly and great to get along with! He had some brilliant ideas and was also really proactive in both directing me as well as allowing me creative freedom to pose. He had great knowledge of the location too which gave us the ability to manage a fair few different locations in a short amount of time! :)

Highly recommended and hope to see you again soon! :)

Several years had passed since our last shoot - but I finally got the chance to work with Mel again this week - against all the odds, with a last minute change of plan / location. Mel remained unflappable though, and managed to get us into a wonderful studio (LovePhotoStudio). The shoot was just brilliant. Mel and I shared ideas, and managed to achieve a great deal in a half day shoot. Mel is a lovely photographer to work with - he is wholly professional in his approach, is willing to work collaboratively with models to get great results, and he takes really wonderful shots. Mel is also a genuinely lovely chap, and a real pleasure to work with.

I only hope that we don't wait another 4 years for our next shoot - it was far too much fun! If you have the chance to shoot with Mel - grab it - you will enjoy every moment :)

Mel was a photographer at a group shoot I was involved in at WindmillArt. He was very easy to get along with and took some great images. I would happily work with him again and can highly recommend him.

I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Mel on a little studio day held at Artemis Fauna's lovely home. We only had an hour but I enjoyed it immensely. He is incredibly easy to get along with and we had a great laugh. I would love to work with him again some day soon - highly recommended by me.

When Mel booked me for my East Anglia Tour, I was very pleased because I knew that it would be great. Mel and I have worked together twice now, and he's probably one of my favourite photographers to work with. Mel has a wicked sense of humour, and makes you feel relaxed and involved straight away, with his cheery and friendly attitude.

Mel is also very creative, trying lots of ideas, and seeing images that others would have missed, and working hard with me to create some stunning images. He gets better every time I work with him, and is a very technically skilled photographer, as is evident from his port.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely gent, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Looking forward to seeing the images!

I worked with Mel at the Windmill Art group shoot, we had the first slot so not the easiest! He was fun to work with, friendly and respectful. He had a good idea of what he wanted to achieve and gave good direction. He sent me great images very promptly, one of which has now become my most "liked" on my facebook page. :) He also managed to take one of the only photos in existence of my bottom, which I like! :oP I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to work with him in future :)

I worked with Mel at the Windmill Group shoot yesterday, and what a lovely guy he is.

We had loads of fun shifting furniture around in the disused swimming pool, creating some fun shots and having a good old giggle.

Mel is fun to work with, easy going and you immediately feel at ease with him. He is also creative and imaginative.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and hope we can get together again soon.

Definitely recommended. :)

I worked with Mel as part of the Windmill Group Shoot and found him to be both a skilled photographer, but also friendly and courteous. His pre-shoot comms were excellent and we both knew what we wanted from the shoot. He quickly sent me images from the shoot and I am very pleased :) Would happily work with him again (particularly as he loves black & white like I do)!
