I’ve been an avid admirer of Neil’s work for a while now and I’m chuffed to have finally worked together! 🙌 Neil is super easy to work with, nice and chilled and blimey those photos speak for themselves! We had a great shoot working from my home studio yesterday using a mix of natural light and flash and I loved lol of Neil’s ideas and the fact he allowed my bizarre creative input too! Thankyou so so much for such a great shoot and I can’t wait to work with you again!

Highly recommend!

Best wishes

Neil came back to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Nicole Rayner for their '1 Year Basford Anniversary shoot'.

As always all pre comms with Neil were great, everything was well organised and him and Nicole arrived with everything they needed for a fantastic, creative shoot!!

Neil is a pleasure to have around here at Basford, he is easy to talk to, polite, friendly and always completely respectful of our location. We have already seen some images from the shoot and they look fantastic!!

Neil would be welcome back anytime to Basford and we really hope to see him again soon!! Thank you Neil!!

Neil is always welcome at the studio and we look forward to seeing him again! For two main reasons:

1. He’s a kind person and lovely to talk to, gets on well with us and all the models he has shot at the studio!

2. Additionally, he is superb with a camera!! We are always excited to see the images after one of Neil’s shoots!

Neil comes highly recommended by us as a studio, including models that have shot with Neil at our studio!

See you soon Neil 😁

After a few delays mainly to me taking a time out from the industry for a few months I had my first shoot back with Neil.

I've known Neil for a long time and he is a lovely genuine kind man with a amazing eye and passion for what he does.

This time Neil booked the kiln studio in Stoke and we had a amazing day covering many sets and styles while having fun and a laugh along the way. We ended the day with a wagamama.

Highly recommended by Me and I can't wait to work with Neil again.

Nicole Rayner

Would I recommend Neil? Well I think that’s pretty obvious as I shoot with him so often!! And so very lucky to get to do so!!!

We’ve had many a wonderful shoot, and I probably owe him many more a reference - but what more can I say?! Neil’s a great friend and it’s been amazing to watch his work and enthusiasm develop and grow! I love how much Neil continues to push himself - and continues to learn! He is really bringing unique and brilliant ideas to shoots, with bloody great results that i’m really proud to be a part of!!!

Neil has been present on so many of my shoots and events over the years and i am so glad he was at my recent ‘Stripped Back event’! He was super respectful to anll of my models and very patient anmd encouraging towards Liv Wild - my amazing mentee ! She anlso had great things to say annout Neil annd i wouldn’t expect annything less! 100% recommended. And looking forward to our next shoots!!!

Liv Wild

Neil. I can't Thankyou you enough for the lovely experience I had with you on the stripped back event. I had such a confidence boost from you. I appreciated your patience, your directions. Such a lovely respectful man! I would absolutely love to work with you again! And straight away gave me an incredible shot that I could use for my portfolio!! 10000% recommended.

Rachelle Summers

Another wonderful shoot with Neil!

We returned to Two Wei studio but this time using their grounds. We did some classic art nude, some styled fashion and some fab creative drone shots too before ending the shoot under the rain shower!

It’s always lovely working with Neil, he’s very kind, respectful and looks after you very well throughout the shoot.

Happily recommended and hope to catch up again soon :)

Great to have Neil shooting here for his first time yesterday with the simply awesome Ivory Flame.

All comms were as they should be and Neil is a thoroughly pleasant person to deal with. Respectful of studio spaces and props available, to the point that once both Neil and Holly had left, it was like they hadn't even shot here.

Happy to fully recommend Neil to all! Thank you - Lee :-)

Ivory Flame

An absolute joy to work again with Neil, this time a delightful 1:1 shoot at Scorpion Residence.

I really enjoyed the time, Neil is so down to earth, fun and friendly. Thoroughly professional and considerate whilst shooting, the time flew by, we achieved a fab range of images, exploring many interesting options at the venue, with a relaxed, creative atmosphere and pleasant conversation :-)

I also especially loved the different effects Neil was exploring this time, with movement, emotion and blur, really engaging to work on together. Thank you so much Neil! Very happily recommended :-)

Neil came back to Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday to shoot with Nicole Rayner, Keira Lavelle and Miss C.

It was so great to see Neil again!! He's such a wonderful person with a real passion for photography. Pre comms were great and everything went really smoothly on shoot day.

Neil is so tidy and makes sure to look after the location at all times. He's welcome back anytime and I really hope to see him again soon!!! HIGHLY recommended from us!!!

Miss_C

Neil asked if I would join in with a trio shoot with the gorgeous Nicole Rayner and Keira Lavelle!! Of course I jumped at the opportunity!!!

Neil is amazing!!! He has so many great ideas and this shoot was no exception!!

We shot many great images including some strong sets in the courtyard, including images with motion blur, and, some softer boudoir images.

Neil is a complete professional and an excellent photographer. I'd highly recommend him and hope to see him again soon!! Thank you Neil!!!

Neil and I have worked together countless times now and each shoot is always totally different to the last, even though for the most recent one, we shot out of versatile 2G studios again.

This shoot was more about striking lines and shapes for the first part, before we finished off with some softer headshots.

As ever, the conversation on-set is brilliant and we both have a great time in each other's company. More Neils please!

Neil came to Basford with Nicole Rayner as my first official photographer and I couldn't have been happier!!!

Communication with Neil was perfect prior to the shoot. He arrived on time and was friendly, polite and tidy.

Having had a sneak peak at the back of the camera (with permission), I was so impressed with his work!! I can't wait to shoot with him myself as Miss C!!

Neil is welcome back to Basford anytime and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Finally great to meet Neil. Had great time shooting from my home. Neil arrived on time. He was polite and friendly. Really easy to work with. Can't wait to shoot with Neil again, real talented photographer 100% recommend :)

Rachelle Summers

It had been so long since I caught up with Neil, so I was chuffed when he decided to book a half day on my studio weekend at Two Wei!

Neil is a total sweetheart, he is such a caring, kind and respectful person. Always making sure you are comfortable throughout the shoot and just such a nice person to be around!

I’d more than happily recommend Neil to others and really hope we don’t leave it as long next time!!

2W Location

Neil's first visit to Two Wei on a Rachelle Summers organised model day. Neil was a pleasure to host, very polite, professional and easy to talk to. In addition to this, he can also capture wonderful and creative images which is quite apparent from a review of the ones he has published from his visit.

We have no reservation in recommending Neil and look forward to a return visit from him in the near future.

Neil captured so many incredible images of my physique on our third shoot together that I asked for copies! I think this was definitely our best work yet. For our third shoot we worked out of 2G studios (our first time in a studio as we did location both prior times).

As ever, Neil promptly sent a deposit, arranged the venue and sent me detailed directions. Upon arrival, Neil showed me some various props and themes we could explore (fabrics and masks) before we got going.

Neil is always so skilled at capturing me from the best angle that I never need to worry about how I pose (because often muscle can look flat/fluffy if someone isn't sure on how to shoot it).

One of my favourite things about working with Neil is that he's happy for me to just roll through different poses as I explore each set and let my creativity explode. He's always on-hand to offer some suggestions and adjustments to make the shot even better!

It's always a pleasure shooting with this gent!

Thanks for choosing to work with me again,

Lila

Neil came for a day's 1:1 in the studio! We went through lots of different techniques during our 8-hour shoot with @everlyrose and Neil had no problem absorbing all of the technical info I spewed out in that time! Tbh we could be twins - same hairstyle :P very similar glasses and our camera bags look pretty much the same, inside and out :)

Neil is very considerate of everyone on-set, and was a joy to work with. He has a great understanding of angle, composition, and lighting and we rattled through a number of sets and variations with ease.

Neil is full of enthusiasm for the creative process and I would have no hesitation in working with him again!

PoeticMinx

Another shoot with Neil! He is the kindest… I was not feeling well that day and he was very understanding. We also took some amazing images . It is a pleasure to watch Neil evolve in his photography every time we work together. Thank you so much again!

I finally got to work with the amazing Neil after being friends for a long time virtually and chatting on zoom with a group of models abd photographers throughout lockdown.

Neil travelled to me and we had a nice chat where I went over some locations with him before we took some pictures at the house.

We then went on our adventure.

I took Neil to a local beach with lots of wrecks of old boats, a country park with huge sandstone rocks and finally a beautiful mile long country road lined with huge oak trees.

Neil was more than happy to try these locations with me and we achieved some beautiful fine art nudes.

Neil and I are in the process of arranging a second location shoot near his home this time and I can't wait to shoot again.
