I shot with Omz as part of a shootathon! & had so much fun. He’s super creative & we got some amazing shots on the roof. I was so happy with the images & would definitely recommend shooting with him. He makes you feel very comfortable & guides you well when you need to change your pose & comes up with great pose ideas too! Will definitely shoot with him again 💕

Absolutely amazing to work with. Had some great ideas and gave some great directions and recommendations to improve the quality of the photos. He made me feel extremely comfortable and I throughly enjoyed the shoot.

Couldn't recommend enough and looking forward to working again together in the future

Met OMZ on a London Tour with my partner.

After a couple of shoots with different photographers my confidence was knocked by some of the outcome, till i met OMZ, he was a lovely guy and very friendly and chatty the Photos we both received were amazing and so grateful to have this opportunity of working with him, I highly recommended!

Me and Joseph got to work with Omz on the last leg of our tour in London! While this was my third time working with him, it was Joseph's first time. I had an absolute blast working with Omz, communication was amazing throughout, and as usual, an absolute blast to work with! His effort when capturing the shots is wonderful and he definitely brought out the best in us! But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

As per, I would recommend him so so much. Such a talent with the lenses!

I had an awesome shoot with the amazing OMZ!

He was patient despite me turning up late for the shoot and gave clear directions throughout. He also kindly accommodated my creative direction and merged it with his vision.

Pre coms we’re clear and timely and OMZ has offered to provide me with 12 edited versions of our images.

A really, genuinely lovely guy and an amazingly talented guy! X

I had my first shoot with Omar a few weeks ago In London, his comms were excellent and his friendliness put me at ease right away. The images came out beautifully.

I was impressed with Omar's professionalism and really look forward to working with him soon. Xx

I met Omar at a group meet up and was really impressed - he had clear ideas about what he wanted to achieve and gave great direction. Shooting and chatting was really relaxed and I'm glad we got a chance to shoot together!

I had an amazing shoot with Umar, he made me feel extremely comfortable as someone new to lingerie/boudoir and implied work. I really enjoyed the shoot, I learned so much about this style of modelling (boudoir) as well as modelling itself, what photographers look for, how to craft the perfect image and manage lighting, background, poses etc. His guidance with poses was so useful and helpfully given/demonstrated. I highly recommend working with Umar and would definitely like to work with him again in the future!

An absolutely lovely shoot with him yesterday morning. He didn’t just make a relaxing atmosphere he also made me smile. I can easily recommend him to anyone.

A professional guy for my first ever shoot. Was accommodating that I was early and we finished the shoot early too! Was very kind and gentle towards me as I navigated poses and everything whilst being nervous. I was very happy with the end results and he sent me the images within two weeks.

Umar is a fantatsic tog' and I definately suggest working with him!

Excited for the next one:)

Today I had my first shoot with Umar16, he was friendly and easy going with good communication to discuss the styles we did for the shoot. Show me new ideas of poses and creative ideas. Gave me clear directions and was a good shoot. Umar16 shows enthusiasm and building working friendships in the shoot which is important in this industry. I would 100% highly recommend him and look forward working with him again in the near future.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

Another trip down to London and I had the opportunity to work with Umar again. And although our first shoot went really well, this shoot made it look like child's play! The ball was in our court and we both worked really hard to get the BEST images we could get.

And boy, there are some unreal results.

Really looking forward to seeing the final products of this shoot. I'm absolutely ecstatic and can appreciate the shoot was a right laugh here and there in all!

I look forward to working with Umar plenty more times in the future.

100% recommend.

Ivy Vxlentine

Umar was very prompt and supportive despite my map not being efficient and other factors. But he has an eye for detail, very social and professional. Really looking forward to working with him again :D

Umar was great to work with responded quickly and was on time, I was the makeup artist for this colab shoot, he knew alot about lighting and Came well equipped with everthing he needed to get the shots we wanted. the shoot was a golden-hour one, in an out door location, so we had limited time to get what we wanted before we ran out of light. umar has really great camera skills- I think we had the exact same vision for the shoot and I was so pleased with the images he captured! really looking forward to working with him again on future projects would highly recomend!

Had a fantastic shoot with Umar16

He was polite and made you feel at ease from the start. He worked well with the lighting and got the light perfect! He was great to talk to and conversation flowed easily. He is very professional and took pride in his photos. I would definitely be planning another shoot with him!
