I had my first shoot with Tom today and it was awesome!

He booked me for a home shoot (after I disappointed him and said it was too cold to work outdoors :D soz)

We covered a range of looks over a few hours and I couldn't believe how the time flew by! Tom is full of so many great ideas, he's great fun to work with and his enthusiasm and energy is contagious!

Loving what I was seeing on the back of the camera! I can't wait to see the final results :D

I highly recommend Tom, he's polite, respectful and great fun to work with. More importantly you're guaranteed stunning images ;)

Thanks again, see you when the sun decides to stick around 😁👍

I had my first shoot with Modella a couple of days ago in Cardiff during my trip to Wales.

We covered various levels, including topless/nude and soft BDSM. I always get excited when a photographer brigs props to the shoot and he had a really nice selection I could use.

Modella had brilliant pre-comms, and because he send me a moodboard I was able to select some outfits that I thought would suit the theme. He was very easy to get on with. He was happy to direct as well as to leave me to pose freely. He also frequently showed me samples of what he had captured and wanted to make sure I appreciated them :)

Modella was a pleasure to work with, and I would happily work with him again.

Highly recommended, thank you! :)

We had our first shoot together recently and had a great time! It was a fun and creative, we bounced ideas off each other throughout and made some incredible images. He was super easy to get on with, respectful of boundaries and I had a genuinely fun time shooting together. Can't wait til the next one!

I worked with Tom for the first time recently, and wow what an amazing shoot it was! He booked me for a few hours at the Old Chapel Hall in Gloucestershire, which I am lucky enough to have access to. We did an evening shoot there, and the lighting was just beautiful...almost heavenly!

Tom is incredibly fun to work with; down-to-earth and with a great sense of humour, and I just love unapologetic he is in terms of who he is. I could learn a lot from him in that regard.

Tom has a great energy, and a clear passion for art. I really related to him a lot and felt we were on a similar level, which is awesome for getting into a creative flow! The shoot absolutely flew by, it was an absolute blast.

We did a few different sets inside the building, then ventured outside for a while, and Tom was completely patient throughout. I didn't feel under any kind of pressure at all. He was also kind enough to show me the results on back of camera, and the images looked truly gorgeous...I looked almost goddess-like in some of them!

Tom has a real creative flare and is a wonderful, authentic soul; I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to work with him. I would be very happy to work with him again, and highly recommend him to other models.

Thanks so much for an amazing shoot Tom!

We had our second sunny shoot in the beautiful bay of Freshwater West, in the late afternoon/evening, to make the most of the softer sunlight - chatted about the rough plans of action first, then headed to the dunes for some rather epic sheer material moments (wimdy), descended down on to the rocks and into the sea for a few primal siren vibes, got absolutely soaked (as did Tom, he was almost fully immersed - impressive stuff!), climbed a few boulders, found some cool rope, sort a few pretty shapes in the sunrise. What an absolutely beautiful shoot!

Tom is lovely, super chill, funny, very calm, an absolute trooper (even when positively drowning), awesome company, a cool dude - would highly recommend to all models.

I had a great remote shoot with Tom. I was sent a moodboard of the type of shots he’d like to achieve so I knew the type of lighting and angles for the shots. We got some amazing shots (my back still hurts from the poses) lol.

I’m looking forward to our next shoot

I had an awesome first shoot with Tom, on my recent trip to south Wales - it was a swiftly put together plan of action, general witchy/pagan vibes in a rather gorgeous woodland and quarry, away from the general public (well, as much as possible!). We got on from the get go, chatting about all of life and its strange experiences, whilst shooting some gorgeous backlit fae shapes, portraits amongst the trees, a few rather dramatic poses next to the quarry, we found a rather well placed tree stump too. And ended on a slightly fetishy number in the camper - the pictures are bloody beautiful!

Tom is a fabulous dude, very relaxed, intelligent, easy going, very artistic, funny, extremely respectful. Would highly recommend to all models and creatives!

Thanks again.

I had my second shoot with Darkmode today and I can honestly say they have been 2 of my most favourite shoots I’ve had! The images from both shoots so far have been some of the best images I have ever seen of myself. I love the different shoot style and how fun both shoots have been. Professional, relaxed shoots and full of laughs. Already looking forward to our next shoot! X

My second shoot with Tom, the last one was quite a while ago.

Pre comms are always so good and I know exactly what to bring and what we are shooting.

Tom is so good to shoot with such a laugh and knows which poses he wants which look so cool!

I love being out of my comfort zone and shooting different things.

Thank you for such a good shoot.

The images I have seen so far look amazing!

Very fun to shoot with.

Highly Recommended

Thank you :-)

Had a fantastic first shoot with dark mode at my home! He was kind,professional and a very talented photographer. Made me feel comfortable straight away and the conversations were flowing. I’m so looking forward to seeing more of our images we have created together! I would highly recommend Dark Mode! If you haven’t worked with him yet do it! Looking forward to another shoot in the future. :)

Having not working with Tom for 5 years, I have to say we still work together like a dream. Having decided to shoot for two hours in a local woodland and creating some erie, emotional images followed by some contortion esque images in a local studio, I can’t wait for the next shoot!

Toms an Incredibly talented photographer who pushed me to get the best out of poses and stretches so that the end results were exactly what we hoped for. Precoms were fantastic and having shared ideas and knowing what we wanted to shoot, it couldn’t have gone better. Highly recommend

I had a fabulous shoot with Tom yesterday. Tom is a great artist / photographer and works immensely hard to get the right angle to obtain the ‘ shot ‘.

Tom is very easy to get on with and has a relaxed approach to shooting. Planned to book at second shoot so will be looking forward to that.

Wow! What a shoot!

Had such an incredible shoot with

Modella è la... during my Tour to the South of Wales at my hired Apartment.

Prior to shooting communication was exceptional. From what to bring along to what sort of thing we were going to shoot it was all carefully planned.

On the day of shooting Tom was prompt and ready to shoot. He’s so chatty and friendly and we instantly got on. I really love that Tom is both an artist and a photographer and he really puts his own style and spin on things. During shooting we shots some really unique concepts and ideas.

Tom was super creative about what to do with the apartment moving things around and discovering new possibilities for shooting areas that I hadn’t even thought of. He also excellent taste in lingerie and fashion and really knows what sort of things work.

Tom also provides a safe space to contribute ideas as well and he was really accepting of my input towards the shoot. We had such a productive and fun shoot session and shot tuns of lingerie and even some latex too.

Such a Jem!! What an honor to meet and work with this creative and talented photographer. 110% recommended!

This was my first shoot with Tom, and everything was great!

His pre comms were amazing, enabling us to know exactly what we would be doing on the shoot together. He created mood boards and sent them over to me prior, therefore I had a perfect idea of what he was looking for, and he could see what I would be happy/comfortable with.

Tom booked a great location for the shoot that allowed us to get a great range of styles, levels and sets in the four hour time frame. He also brought his own props, which came in great use.

His attention to detail resulted in amazing shots with a range of creativity.

Tom has a relaxed personality and made me feel very comfortable on the shoot. We were able to have a laugh in a good atmosphere as we worked together. I would highly recommend working with him! Will definitely be shooting again.

I really enjoyed working with Tom. Our sense of humour matches so that's great and he is also an enjoyable person to work with. He has great ideas and I can't wait to see the pics and shoot with him again!

I just had my second shoot with Tom and had another really exciting session. Tom has an eye for detail and really does catch the moment. His pre shoot communication is thorough but he still allows room for the shoot to be spontaneous and flow, which makes for a really enjoyable and rewarding day. He is highly recommended but I just hope we don’t have any cows at our next shoot location.

Stargirl01

Well what can be said about Tom, unique, talented, funny, exciting and more. We have spent quite a while developing numerous ideas and themes for our shoot and his attention to detail in doing this and communicating these is exceptional.

Despite all the hurdles we have faced recently with weather forcing a couple of postponements, it even rained on the day and then traffic delayed Tom, none of this fazed him and he soon got prepared and into the session, which was both a series of previously agreed shoot ideas but also spontaneous images that were brilliantly executed by him.

Tom takes his photographic art seriously but has the knack of still enjoying the experience and engaging with the model in a really positive and relaxed manner.

I would recommend him to any model that wants to have a positively different modelling experience and I am looking forward to working with him again in the near future.

The first shoot with Tom.. Well, it was something really novel and extraordinary, the location, the photographer, the way the shoot went. Loved every minute of it, despite the fact that we were locked in a grave yard :D but, hey, new impressions are always good, aren`t they? Tom is a great photographer, taking photos from unusual points and was making me think more then I`ve ever done before. Highly recommend and certainly will shoot again.

Had a great shoot with Tom, he was covid safe throughout. He gave great direction. We shot a whole bunch of different kinds of images and outfits. Time flew!

Really creative guy, recommend
