I had the good fortune of meeting Phil at a networking event, held at the Boilerworks in Stoke on Trent. Not sure if he came, expecting to model, as it had been some considerable time since he last visited, but I’m so pleased he was more than happy to.

Phil is a seasoned professional, something which shows in his confidence and the fluidity of his posing. More than happy to recommend Phil to any photographer, novice or experienced.

I worked with Phil for the first time today, along with Bethany Cammack. He was an absolute delight to work with being very patient while I tinkered with the lighting set-ups and took direction very well even helping to develop my ideas to ensure we captured some truly stunning images. If you want a serious "proper" male model then I have no hesitation in recommending that you book Phil for you project. thanks phil :)

Highly recommended

I worked with Phil on a duo model day at the x factory. Phil is professional but at the same time a lot of fun to work with. We worked along two themes, the main one being dance and the beautiful pics speak for themselves.

If you’re looking to book a male model, Phil is one of the best

This was the second time Phil has joined us at JFYP Studio, both times working will ElleJ on our "Recreating Vettriano" workshops. Phil and Elle work so well together and were excellent at interpreting the look we were trying to create. It has really been a pleasure working with Phil and I can honestly say that he does show a genuine interest in trying to capture that image and style that you are trying to achieve.

A second workshop featuring Elle J and Phil Bruce helping us recreate the Jack Vettriano look. Phil is a great partner to Elle J and made it easy to get the shots needed to show the JV look. Phil demonstrates a very positive attitude and does his best to make sure the photographers get their shots! I'm sure we'll do this again! Well recommended! And thanks Phil. :-)

Phil and myself were booked on another group shoot of "Recreating Vettranio" and I am so pleased we were booked together again. Phil and I work really well together as a duo and it really shows on camera. Pre shoot comms are always great and during the shoot we pose well together and move freely. He arrived on time and was ready to shoot with a selection of suits. I really enjoy working with Phil and I look forward to working with him again. I would highly recommend him to photographers and models. Thanks Phil!

I have recently worked with Phil on a group shoot at JFYP Recreating the work of Vettranio.

What a great Guy to work with. Very professional , friendly and chatty. He Works hard with you to get that image, and any ideas you put to him for creating that shot that pose.

Works with direction or without.

He also worked well with Elle J as a duo team. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Phil to other photographers looking forward to working with Phil again...

Barb, my wife and partner at Catchlight Pics, and I recently had a most enjoyable and highly productive shoot with Phil at our Mill Studio. Pre comms were spot on and Phil arrived on time and 110% ready to shoot. He brought outfits and changes appropriate for the ideas we had discussed and was totally enthusiastic about the themes.

As he is a very likeable, professional and dedicated individual I would recommend Phil without hesitation. Already looking forward to our next (already booked) shoot.

Barb Lander

My husband and I had the opportunity to shoot with Phil last week. What a great shoot it was.

Pre shoot communication was great, we discussed some ideas for the shoot in advance.

Phil arrived on time with outfits that fitted the shoot perfectly.

Phil is hard working and talented. Happy to pose by himself as well as take direction. Professional throughout.

We couldn’t have asked for anymore.

We already have our next shoot booked and can’t wait.

Recommend without hesitation to everyone.

Elle J and Phil Bruce came for the first of our "Recreating Vettriano" Workshops at the studio. This is to pay tribute to Vettriano with poses and lighting that can be edited to have that Jack Vettriano look. To do that you need great models - tick - Elle J and Phil were great. They looked the part bringing a wardrobe that complimented the tone and style and elegance being looked for. They took direction well and gave all the photographers attending what they were after, and contributed a few suggestions of their own. This sell out workshop will likely happen again and we shall no doubt be using Elle J and Phil for that.

Phil had a great look, great clothes and easy to get along with! Recommended!

Well recommended! Andy @ JFYP Studio Smile

Phil teamed up with ElleJ today to join us at the studio for our workshop "Recreating Vettriano", an idea that came out of an earlier shoot with Elle. Once we decided that we would go ahead with the idea Phil was an obvious choice for the male model. Not only an excellent model in his own right, I knew how well Phil and Elle work together and I was not disappointed with my choice. For this type of shoot you need models who can interpret the idea you have and Phil did this perfectly. The whole day was a complete success and much of that has to be down the models. I would highly recommend Phil if you're looking for a male model.

Had the pleasure of working with Phil, great communication, really friendly and professional guy - would recommend and work with again

Markusbrehmphotography

I was thrilled to hear that Phil agreed to work with me when he was referred by menandunderwear (who had separately featured us in the past).

Especially since Phil was traveling over 5 hours (round trip)to get to my home studio.

Our pre-shoot communication was brilliant with ideas being created along the way.

Phil is the most professional, genuine, fun & loving guy you will ever meet. His love and passion for the industry is not only displayed through his success but also his always positive attitude and willingness to create art and to collaborate in any setting and he becomes very much part of the creative Team. Our first shoot together was my most successful collaboration, as we achieved 8 international publications.

I can highly recommend Phil to any photographer and I am privileged to have worked with Phil myself. Thank you Phil - you are incredible!

I am looking forward to our next shoot together.

Phil is a great model to work with. Pre shoot comms are always good, he listens to your ideas and poses well with or without direction. He always brings a selection of items with him and is prepared for the shoot. He is chatty and friendly and I really enjoyed shooting him. I would highly recommend working with him. Thanks Phil!

Elle J

What can I say that I haven’t already said about this awesome guy? We have worked together many times now and every time is such great fun. He is polite, funny and a gentleman especially when working closely together. It’s important to have trust in your partner when working in a duo and Phil ticks this box for me.

I also got the chance to photograph Phil and he takes direction really well and poses great on his own. I would highly recommend working with him and I can’t wait to work together again soon! Thanks Phil!
