Nick is such a lovely guy and so super chilled.. he's respectful and takes the time to plan the shot whilst at the same time acting spontaneously if he sees something which will work. He actually knows my partner, Simone Orsini from years ago where they attended a strobist group, which was a nice surprise.

Nick totally understands light and his post work is flawless, which although is not necessary at all(!) is such a pleasant experience - we were bouncing ideas around on how to get cool effects from lamps and blurred bits in front of his lens, etc.

The photos from our shoot at The Hacienda are still, in my opinion, so pretty and flattering and the excitement from seeing them is still there.

It would be an honour to shoot with Nick again.. he comes very highly recommended by me :D

I had a fantastic shoot with Nick at Sandon Studio recently. This was my first time working with him and I'm glad that he booked me as I had a really lovely time and was thrilled with the images we made. Nick invited me to contribute some of my own styling and posing ideas which was super fun for me, and Nick was quick to see interesting lighting and composition possibilities that added life and mood to our concepts. I'm so glad that we got to share ideas and collaborate, and working with Nick is a true pleasure. He has a cheerful and gentle personality and a real love of beautiful imagery and style. I hope to work with Nick again and highly recommend him to other models.

Thanks Nick for a great shoot.

I was very pleased to have had my third shoot with Nick at Sandon Studio as fate seemed to bring us together! I always enjoy working with Nick! He is a lovely man - a true gent! Always has great conversations and Is always fab company! He is probably one of my favourite photographers to work with.

He is clearly a very accomplished and talented photographer! He has a great knowledge but also has a great creative eye! He is always searching for that shot that is better than the average shot - he strives for the best and for something original - and he certainly gets it! Nick produced some of the best images of the weekend of me ! Some really beautiful images indeed! Full of lots of colour and great compositions!

Nick really works for his shots! It feels like a real collaboration and tea effort when working with Nick! He often asks for models input and listens and tries and ideas! he is just a really great creative to work with!

I really hope I get to shoot more with Nick next year! :D Highly recommended by me!!

I had the pleasure of working with Nick a second time at the loft studios this week. He is a joy to work with, nice and chatty and calm. he is great with set ups and lighting and always gets great shots.

After the shoot I got tagged in images straight away and as suspected they looked great!

I highly recommend working with NIck if you get the chance, I hope to again sometime in the future:)

I had a wonderful time shooting with Nick at Sandon Studio! Nick is a really lovely easy going guy, he made me feel right at ease from the beginning of the shoot! In addition, Nick has a real passion and love for art nude, he aims to create wonderfully beautiful images and achieves this wholly!

Nick brought along a range of delicate props that really helped to enhance our shots, he thinks very carefully about his compositions and it pays off in the beautiful images he produces.

The images we created are lovely, I'm very pleased with them. I had a super time shooting with Nick, great guy as well photographer, highly recommended :)

Nick booked me on my studio weekend at Sandon Studio and he was a joy to work with. Pre shoot comms were great, I knew what items to bring with me for our shoot. He arrived on time and he is friendly, chatty and polite. During the shoot we worked well together and I had great fun with some gorgeous red material he had brought. He was a gentleman and helped me get up and down off a windowsill safely which was really appreciated. He showed me the back of the camera and the images looked really amazing. I really enjoyed our shoot together and I hope we get to work together again another time. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing shoot with Nick recently at the Hacienda, pre comms were excellent and we organised the shoot quickly and efficiently.

I absolutely adore working with Nick, I think this was our fourth/fifth time together. Sometimes a model and photographer just click and have a amazing connection where each other just knows exactly what the other person is thinking/aiming for and I have that with Nick, we create absolute magic and I think the results get better every single time! I was absolutely blown away and we shot so many beautiful images and managed to get through so many sets!

Nick comes highly recommended and I cannot wait to shoot together again at some point this year.

Thanks for everything!

I have been lucky enough to work with Nick twice now! The most recent time was at an art nude event I organised at Guys Cliff House . This was an exciting event which hosted 4 models. Photographers rotated around each model then came together at the end to shoot all 4.

I was very pleased to have Nick there as I knew that it meant that there would definitely be some beautiful shots produced from the day and I wasn't wrong!! Nick has already published a lot of stunning images from the day and I am very proud to be featured in some of those images!!

Nick is one of my favourite people to work with!! I love his easy going attitude! He is always very positive and enthusiastic! He is always very respectful- to the point where I felt comfortable going up a ladder in the nude with Nick supporting it at the bottom as I knew Nick would be respectful and professional!

I really enjoy Nicks company and love the way he works! He made me feel great on the day, he made me feel confident which meant I was on top form!

Nick is a great photographer- very skilled with a great artistic eye! He is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with! I hope to work with him again soon!

Highly recommended by me!!

Its always a great shooting with Nick! He is so creative with a passion for capturing inspiring images! This is the third time Ive shot with Nick and I hope it isnt the last.

Nick always brings an array of gorgeous clothing, which I always LOVE and they suit the styled sets we went for perfectly.

The time we have shooting together always goes so quickly, Nick is so easy to chat with and Im always over the moon with the end results. Highly highly recommended by me :-D

What a professional and creative person! I had a short space of time shooting with Nick last Friday and I really enjoyed the experience. I really hope we will get to work together again in the near future :D

I had a fantastic time shooting with Nick recently at Windmillart during a networking event. Pre-comms were great and Nick had many good ideas for us to play with.

He arrived promptly and was patient whilst my make up was being finished up. Nick had brought a selection of beautiful dresses and hats with him which we combined to create a number of looks. Karen from the Wardrobe Department was kind enough to lend us one of her garments to use too, which worked perfectly with one of the lovely hats Nick had brought with him.

Nick is super easy to work with and we worked well together as a team. He was fully professional and respectful throughout our time. The results so far have been fantastic and I look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to work with him again sometime in the future.

Highly recommended.

Nick is one of my all-time favourite people to work with so of course, I recommend him! A lovely chap and a talented photographer! Always respectful and always professional! :)

So i FINALLY had my first shoot with Nick - it has been a while in the planning! No dissapointments! Nick was everything I expected and more! I had a great time shooting with him and I think together we created some fabulous images!!

Firstly, pre comms were fabulous!!! Secondly, so was Nick!

Nick has been to The Hacienda before so he knew his was around! I was really inspired by the fact that Nick was eager to get a shot that was different! He didn't want to produce similar shots to his previous ones, which I really respect in a photographer! Nick really pushed himself to get something different and I really think we achieved that! Nick put so much energy into the shots! this was great for me as I was abke to bounce off Nicks enthusiasm and excitement!

Nick is a lovely guy! very respectful, very easy to talk to - i enjoyed his company a lot!

he is a fab photographer technically, so the shoot flowed well and was made easy for me to do my thing, as Nick did his bit so well!

I am very pleased to already have another shoot booked in with Nick! Looking forward to it lots! Highly Reccomended !!!

I had a second shoot with nick in London this weekend, & it was just as good as the first. I am very happy with the results and recommend him highly once again

Ayla

I love working with Nick, he is honestly the loveliest person you will meet!

As well as having a great vibe to him he happens to be an excellent photographer and I love all the images we have produced together.

He comes highly recommended from me :D

I had a fantastic shoot with Nick just yesterday at my home location.

It was our 3rd/4th time working together but it was our first 1-2-1 shoot (not on an event)

Nick arrived on time, and with quite a few ideas to work on. He also let me suggest a few ideas too and we worked together during the day in creating some awesome images!!

I really love the results and had a great time.

Thank you, Nick. I really hope I can work with you again one day :)

Nick booked half a day with me at the opening of exclusive new London studio The Hacienda today!

We worked though a wide range of styles and created some amazing images! I can't wait to see them edited, a seriously good session that was super-chilled yet exceptionally productive and creative. He didn't over direct and had some good ideas and demonstrated competent technical skill, good knowledge of how studio lights and natural light work on a body and face. Nick was easy-going, polite and respectful at all times I am very happy to leave my recommendation here.

Had a great shoot with Nick today, despite a quick change of location plan, Nick still came with enthusiasm and passion to create some fantastic images.

He has a great eye for photography and I love the photos we produced, on top of that he is also lovely company and easy to get along with!

Thank you :)

When I found out Nick was going to be at my studio day I was very pleased. I adore his portfolio!

Nick made the effort to contact me prior to the day to introduce himself and share his ideas with me.

Nick is great to work with. Excellent lighting skills and great at giving direction. The time absolutely flew by!

I would definitely work with Nick again and recommend him 100% to other models!

Thanks again Nick.

Eva Seraph

Can't believe it's took me this long to realise I hadn't left Nick a reference!

I worked with Nick a few months ago at the Loft Studio in Colchester 1 to 1 and again briefly during an evenings group shoot.

He is great fun to work with, has a good range of ideas, happy to listen to anything you have to say and is very good with lighting!

I am extremely pleased with the final results from our time working together and thoroughly enjoyed working with Nick and hope to do so again in the future.

Highly recommended
