I had a very enjoyable first shoot with Colin at the Rotunda building in Birmingham, which was very convenient for me to get to and has amazing views of the city!

Pre comms were great and Colin sent me an email with some reference images to get a clear idea of what he was looking to achieve, he came super prepared with lighting and many lenses as well as shooting some lovely natural light images. It seems we got a bit of every season during our 4 hour shoot, but this allowed for a variety of looks and lighting I suppose!

Colin was a pleasure to work with, super friendly and easy to shoot with and he even provided some fruit to shoot with/snack on and soya milk for coffees!

I also happened to forget my lip gloss, so I organised to pick it up this morning and Colin offered me a coffee before heading home

Recommended, I hope to shoot together again sometime :)

Just wrapped up a shoot minutes ago with who is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers to shoot with. Colin is an abnormally pleasant person and talented artist. We had a productive day shooting at least two totally dynamite themes which allowed us to spend the rest of our time in lively conversation and still feel rather accomplished with ourselves 😃. He is skilled with natural light and also use of flash, and I can’t wait to see the results after his wonderful post processing. Loving getting started on what I hope will be a long collaboration together. Thanks again for coming by Colin.

Had a spectacular shoot with Colin yesterday from my Cumbria home. From the get go I felt completely comfortable in his presence, he is an absolute gem of a person and was pleasant and complimentary off the bat.

We had a quick sit down to enthusiastically discuss themes and have coffee, then got to work. We worked at a slow and careful pace and created some very strong images. He’s extremely lovely to chat to and knows his craft very well.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and am looking forward to all of our future shoots. I think we will create very special work together.

I have had many shoots with Colin now and each time has been a joy, just like today's! Colin is very professional and respectful of the models he works with and is always well organised with the types of lighting/lenses needed for each individual shoot. I find him to be one of the more advanced/professionals I have worked with in the industry and love having the opportunity to share ideas with him. A true gentleman! Thank you!

Colin was an absolute delight to shoot with, as soon as we met he asked where was good to go and get a coffee. An excellent start and a major Green flag in my eyes haha.

He was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable at all times! Colin has clear professionalism and puts alot of work and care into his craft. We even managed to shoot a bit of video which i absolutely loved! This all while conversation flowed very easily!

The shots where absolutely brilliant, and his editing is fantastic. I love the images that this shoot produced and we were on such a roll he even booked an extra half an hour! Another shoot has already been arranged with myself and colin and i honestly couldnt fault him. Really looking forward to our next shoot and i encourage any model to book a shoot with him.

Highly recommended!

Worked with Colin many times now and can guarantee he is one of the best photographers around! Such a lovely person and great photographer!

Every shoot has been productive, fun and a great atmosphere! Recently Colin did a shoot with me and my younger sisters and was patient with the little ones as one of them was not feeling herself and we got some lovely pictures!

Such a great guy! Always a great shoot! And always good vibes! Definitely recommend!

Third time working with Colin yesterday and I had such a great shoot! It’s always a pleasure working with Colin as he’s very loyal, professional and passionate about getting the shot! We work really well together and I can’t wait to work with him again.

Highly recommend!

I have known Colin for several years now and shot various styles with him but today's shoot was one of my first after lockdown, naturally I felt a little rusty as it's been a year out of practice for me. That said Colin made me feel very relaxed and reassured from his pre comms to the end of the shoot.

We shot at my home focusing on boudoir and portraits. Colin was on time and well equipped with everything needed including various lighting and lenses. We had lots of chat and laughs during the shoot while remaining professional. He was very respectful of my levels and regularly showed me shots on the back of the camera.

Colin is up there with some of the best photographers in my opinion and is not a one trick kind of guy, he can turn his head to pretty much all themes and styles creating beautiful art. I enjoyed his company from start to finish and we are already planning a next shoot. I can't recommend him enough to models of all experience! Thanks so much x

Another wonderful shoot with Colin last week! This time was our first remote shoot together due to the current circumstances!

Colin sent me a mood board in advance so I knew what look we were going for and could have styling etc prepared. As we have worked together before in person the shoot was super easy going and relaxed, and we created a wonderful selection of images together during the 2 hours we had!

Can't wait to work with Colin again in the future, be it remotely or in person :)

Happily recommended by me!

Lucky enough to have another shoot with the amazing Colin once again today.

We shot @ my sisters place & briefly on location, fashion & sportswear lingerie.

Ive worked with Colin a lot & would always recommend him. I think Colin underestimates how good he actually is!

Friendly, hard working, super easy to get a long with, professional & VERY good at what he does.

I would say if you get a chance to work with Colin definitely jump at it!

Thanks again, no doubt we will work together again! look forward to seeing the shots :)

I shot with colin 4 years ago and today was my second with him, how things have changed for both of us since the first! Colin was happy to use the location of my choice and collect me. I was greeted with a friendly smile lots of chit chat on route and upon arrival at the beach we got some fantastic drone images even though it was a freezing January day by the cold north sea! Colin was happy to let me do my own poses and we bounced ideas off each other creating 3 different sets of images. Colin is a total professional, he is definitely one to keep an eye on as his ideas, lighting techniques and general knowledge in photography puts him up there with the top dogs! It definitely won't be another 4 years till our next shoot! Highly recommended x

Really hope I am lucky enough to get to shoot with Colin again. This was our first shoot together in an apartment in Newcastle as he was recommended by another photographer I shoot with. His pre communication was perfect and he was very patient whilst trying to arrange the booking.

He really is such a lovely, gentleman. Really nice atmosphere and a good laugh. He is not afraid to give direction if he thinks something will work well.

He came to the shoot well equipped and has some nifty little gadgets to create some really nice lighting.

The only downside is that we didn't have long enough...2 hours ran away with us.

Highlyyyy recommend to anyone x

I worked with Colin today at my home and it was a complete pleasure from start to finish. I am always a little nervous working with photographers I haven't met prior at my home, but Colin was the perfect gentleman- so kind, respectful and fun to work with! We had a lovely half a day working on a wide range of Fashion to Art nude, being transported from the 1950s to the present time with Hair/Makeup and Wardrobe.

Colin is such a lovely, endearing person, was excellent company and someone I could have spent the whole day working with. He was very knowledgeable with lighting and I absolutely loved the photographs. He also did some fun behind the scenes video work, which was a break from the norm for me! It was a highly enjoyable day and I would absolutely love to work together again.

A very kind gentleman I can highly recommend to models and other creatives. Thankyou so much Colin and really hope to see you on your next trip, Helen x

Another day, another excellent shoot with Colin. The weather gods smiled on us favourably and we explored more of the woodlands local to me. A few outfit changes, some topless and making use of the foliage and natural lighting. I absolutely adore what I have seen on the back of the camera already. I highly recommend Colin to new and experienced models alike. We are already brainstorming our next shoot!

It was a pleasure to shoot with Colin! Pre comms were great before the shoot, he gave me clear directions to the apartment where we was shooting. During the shoot Colin was very chatty and welcoming I felt at ease and the shoot was relaxed. We got some great images! And I hope to shoot with Colin again soon!

Highly recommend!

I have worked with Colin before and we got on so well last time I knew we would this time. We wen down to a local beach to shoot a mix of fashion and nude. He know what looks nice and is great at seeing somewhere and thinking that would be nice to take images. We honestly di get some really really lovely ones. The ones he has posted so far I love! I hope I get the chance to work with him again and I would also recommend him to anyone. Thanks a lot for a fab shoot :D

I shot with Colin on location yesterday. He very kindly picked me up as we were working in my rather remote but lovely wilderness out in West Northumberland. Colin was super approachable and chatty, but wholly professional at all times, from the outset. We quickly got into a good flow of shooting and Colin showed me the images at intervals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Colin to any other model and I’m excited to plan a lingerie shoot next time. Respectful, very communicative, timely and very creatively minded, Colin is just the type of photographer we need in the modelling industry! Thank you 😀

Had a very good shoot with Colin despite the weather conditions! Pre communication was very clear as to what we planned to achieve, unfortunately the weather changed our plans but we still managed to shoot! Colin made sure I felt comfortable and warm. Really looking forward to shooting again with you, this time on a sunny day! :)
