I met Claire for a shoot in Bath and it was absolutely brilliant working with her. I'd returned to modelling after several years out and I couldn't have asked for a better first shoot. She also brought her son with her who was an absolute delight and was the cause for many laughs.

I look forward to seeing the final results.

Thank you again for the lovely experience!

Regardless the last minute agreement, the shoot with Claire went really well! I was relaxed working with her, having fun and taking some really good shots at the same time. Highly recommended! x

I recently did a shoot with this photographer and her inimitable style belies real talent. She captured an artistic moodiness in a photograph of me that could make a vintage Jazz album cover. An extremely talented woman who brings out in people the expressions that very few see. I highly recommend her and would love to work with her again.

Claire is an absolute joy to work with! She found an amazing location and her attention to detail is exceptional. The whole shoot was great fun with Claire's great banter. Her passion for photography really shows as does her imagination in creating themes and clever post production techniques. I was sent a finished image on the day of the shoot which is incredible and I can't wait to work with Claire again. Her little boy is a charm too, even if he doesn't like babies! 😉

Aha I cannot even explain how down to Earth Claire is! The shoot was fantastic - she's particular about what she wants from an image and managed to capture it every time. One thing I noticed was her focus on pure quality. We didn't take an abundance of pictures as she managed to capture perfect shots in the matter of 3-5 attempts (sometimes only one shot) which is rare these days! Claire is so easy to get along with, not once did I feel awkward, Infact i don't think I've ever felt as comfortable as I did today! All in all was a really fun and fantastic shoot. Would definitely reccomend and would love to work with her again. X

I had the opportunity to shoot with Claire last week and what a pleasure it was. A lovely lady & a joy to work with, laughter all round. Communication was fantastic preshoot, during and after, ideas were discussed prior to arrival and we worked together with ideas flowing from both sides to produced some great images. I very highly to all and already set to work with her again soon!

I would defiantly recommend working with Claire if you are lucky enough to get the chance! She's got such an funny and down to earth personality!

Today i had the pleasure of shooting with The Apprentice

Up in weston supre mare at some place near a touristy beach.. not sure on the name of it again lol.

But any ways. Even with the souring heat and vast amounts of inconsiderate tourists walking in the line of a shot or infact even taking there own images of me posing looool it was a Good laugh and fun throughtout the whole day.

Claire is such a nice and chatty person and is easy to get along with. She bosses the set around imputting idea's that she has for a shot making tweaks here and there if it needed.

So looking at some glances on the back of the camera i am sure we shall have some good images

Thank you for the day and i recommend The Apprentice to all the fellow Purpleporters

To have a shoot with her :)

Having noticed Claire's port sometime back and liked some of her previous work, when she posted that she had a model drop out of an upcoming shoot it seemed like a logical thing to do to apply to fill in even though it was at very short notice.

Having done just that and since Claire was happy to include me in the days shoot, it turned out to be a fun experience which although largely improvised and not specifically planned out in advance, was enjoyable and productive as we battled against the hordes of tourists in Central London.

Obviously having definite ideas about what she likes, what works for her and what she can do in the editing process Claire has an eye for detail that leaves you confident that she's going to give any shoot her best shot and deliver some great results (!).

Hopefully we'll shoot again, possibly with a bit more planning next time (although I'd also be happy to wing it again) and no doubt it will be another productive, fun and enjoyable day.

All good! :)

Had my first shoot with The Apprentice yesterday. It went really well. She worked in a way that made me feel relaxed and kept it fun but she was also professional. The images she got were amazing, definitely going to be a tough one to choose which goes in my portfolio! Would definitely recommend :)

I recently had the pleasure of doing a shoot with the apprentice. she has a very relaxed friendly style and likes to take the time to create the image she has in mind. Would like the chance to work together in the future :)

Had such a great time with Claire. It was a quick session but really enjoyed myself, Claire is so creative, on the ball and was really easy to get along with. Explained to me how she was going to take the shot like as for lens wise. I would highly recommend her and would love to work with you again.

Kind Regards

I had an impromptu shoot with Claire on a Friday evening. I had a few questions about outfits and style and Claire was very quick at getting back to me about them. On the day, she was at the location early and had scouted out some good angles/backdrops already so we could get shooting pretty much straight away! Claire was committed to doing whatever necessary to get the perfect shot: she spent most of the shoot lying on the hard stone floor!

Unfortunately the weather was a little against us (very windy despite the sunshine), but I know we got a few great shots- can't wait to see them :) I would definitely work with Claire again in the future.

I would highly recommend Claire very professional and was easy to get on with.

Had a wonderful time. Her son was a gem also.

Had some amazing images would definitely work with her again. Really looking forward to the images to add to portfolio.

Thanks again

What a lovely kind soul! Had a great time with Claire for our London shoot. She knew what she wanted and worked hard to achieve the best possible. Definitely recommended if you want a relaxed, friendly shoot and wonderful results from this talented photographer. Thank you Claire x

This was my second shoot with Claire and after the great experience of the first there was no way I was going to let a second oppurtunity pass me by especially as it was a London shoot!

I was picked up and transported to the capital to have a sensational shoot with the incredible Atlanta Johnson.

Claire's vision and work ethic are second to none. She knows what she wants and works extremely hard to get it! The images are testament to this!

I can't recommend Claire enough!

So take her up on a casting and see what all the fuss is about 😁!

Had my first shoot with claire last week. Was my first shoot back since around last August so I was a little nervous before hand. Claire was great at making me feel at ease and was fun to work with.

She's given me plenty of amazing shots from the shoot and I really look forward to working with her again :)

I had my first shoot with Claire today and it was great. She was very fun to work with and very easy to talk to. Her direction was great as I'm still quite new to the industry and she was excellent at picking the best background. She really knows what she is doing with her camera too

Alex Kelsey

Second shoot with Claire this week, and it was just as enjoyable as the first! Claire is great fun, and made the shoot really laid-back but we still got some fantastic images. She is full of fantastic creative ideas and is definitely highly recommended, I can't wait to start working towards our next shoot :)
