I had another shoot with Gordon at his studio in Cheltenham and even though this was a short shoot, as i was at his studio shooting with another photographer we still got images we were really happy with.

He bought lots of jewellery and a couple different things for me to wear which he had in mind sinse our last shoot together. He was interested in portraits for his portfolio, so he bought a couple of wigs for me to wear and focused on capturing a stunning headshot.. which im pretty sure we got a few we were really happy with!

He switches up angles and lighting, and he always turns up on time and shows nothing but respect to any models in his company.

Cant wait to work together again, thanks alot Gordon.

I am calling it!!!

Gordon is by far bloody brilliant. Such a loving, caring, fun, professional individual. Fully prepared, always in time. Just amazing. He is someone who after the first shoot I can add to my chosen circle of photographers who will always have priority.

Loved every minute with him and the images after

I had a fantastic time working with Gordan at the Wales weekend!

He is a really lovely person, interesting to talk to and is incredibly knowledgable in many different fields. He's a very open person, speaks his mind and had lots of fantastic stories to share about the army, leaving me in stitches.

Not only is he a great person, but a talented photographer, scouting locations and ensuring they are suitable for shooting along the way.

He's also incredibly considerate of models- always ensuring my safety and wellbeing, which is appreciated exponentially from my perspective.

Highly recommended and hope we can shoot again!

Had my third shoot with Gordon. After a quite stressful trip to Wales I was happy and relieved to learn that Gordon is the first photographer I’m shooting with :) He’s a great guy to work with! Funny and talkative so the atmosphere during the shoot is always relaxed and friendly. But most of all, he makes sure the model feels safe and comfortable! Highly recommended to any model!

I love working with Gordon! He is always on time, never cancels and he's always smiling. He really is great to work with, he understand what you are trying to capture and he produces such impressive work. I can't recommend him highly enough. He has also become a good Friend. Thank you Gordon.

Had a studio shot and was incredibly pleased with the process.

Gordon's studio is equipped with all the necessary equipment for wonderful shooting. There is also a make-up room for make-up and disguises.

Gordon as a manager was presenting during the process and provided assistance when necessary. A fine studio and lovely pictures.

Thanks to Den for help in creating pictures!

My shoot with Gordon was at Photo24 studio shoot in Gloucester after some great pre event comms. I got a little lost in the industrial estate and he very patiently guided me over. It was a very warm day but I was extremely well looked after with water and fans. Extremely professional and always ensured that my modesty was protected (nude shoot) which was greatly appreciated. Looking forward to working together again xx

Loved working with Gordon, it was a really great relaxed 2 hour shoot before my studio day and he made me feel comfortable and explained what photographers would be there etc.

He's really kind and thoughtful and has a great sense of humour. He sure knows his lighting and how to set up a good boudoir set which he let other photographers take advantage of, which was very kind of him! He also printed a image of me that we took just a couple f hours before and let me take it home.. very thoughtful gentleman!

We got along just great, and i cant wait to work with him again!

Highly highly recommended.

Gordon is an absolute delight, shot with him again but this time at his home studio.

As soon as I arrived convocation ran very smoothly and he had already pre prepared the sets.

He provided outfits, endless cups of tea and biscuits and I couldn't recommended him enough.

Highly recommend.

Worked with Owlnet again, this time at Chris Blanches studio.

He is an utter star and I haven't changed my opinion since the last time I shot with him.

He was well organised and prepared, arriving early with a handful of beautiful unique backdrops.

We have already started arranging our next shoot at his home.

Look forward to it.

Highly recommend :)

Yet another brilliant weekend shooting with Gordon on location to complete the second and final part of his Owl Warrior saga.

What can I say that hasn't already been said before? Gordon is just lovely to work with. A genuinely kind, easygoing guy, he places great emphasis on having fun during our shoots and is very laidback whilst working. Gordon is concise, professional and knows what he wants prior to shooting so it's always nicely structured but relaxed.

As always, cannot recommend enough! Thank you for another lovely weekend, adoptive tog father!

Had a very special shoot with Gordon at The Welsh Weekender hosted by Paul's-studio. Gordon brought the most amazing 1920's dress which fit like a glove along with accessories to match to fit the theme or 'femme fatale'. It's rare a photographer puts forward such a well thought out and amazing idea for a shoot and it ended up working like a dream. Gordon was highly professional on shoot and chatty; always making sure I was comfortable, warm and had adequate breaks. Thank you so much for a lovely shoot, can't wait to see the rest of the femme fatale series! Grace

Another great shoot with Gordon, this time being at the Wales Weekend by Pauls Studio.

Gordon is always full of different ideas and up for a laugh which makes my job so much easier.

We got through loads of different ideas and sets, gordon was always ensuring I was ok and couldnt be more thoughtful.

A real pleasure to work with at such a stunning location

Thanks again Gordon

Recommended by me as always:)

Worked with Gordon a couple of times with my partner LittleOwl, once as a model, once as an assistant bodypainter and once as a photographer in training. A top bloke, he's got some great ideas but will also help anyone if they need it. Great comms and very friendly, he's got some cool stories from his time in the army and is really easy to get on with. Got some more projects with Gordon planned in the future and looking forward to it. Definately recommended, great bloke. Thanks mate!

Had another absolutely brilliant shoot with Gordon down in and around Llantwit Major and the St. Athan Boys Village after he came to stay in Wales for the weekend.

Gordon has been most skillfully preparing an outfit he liked to call 'The Owl Warrior' for the past six months or so with a particular story in mind and he very kindly asked me to bring his Tawny to life. I've known Gordon for about a year now and he's nothing short of an professional gentleman. A genuinely lovely, kind guy, Gordon is full of really interesting and funny stories from his time in the Army and you can quite easily end up chatting into the small hours if given the chance! A real character and full of great creative ideas, we had an absolutely fantastic time traversing the urbex ruins and Llantwit Major beach with my partner as we were shooting - it's always a very relaxed environment when you work with Gordon and it's easy to build up a great rapport with him very quickly. His top priority is model comfort and safety and he makes this irrevocably clear from the get-go, so is always very respectful of levels.

Although he knows what he wants and usually has a few specific poses in mind already, he'll allow you plenty of creative freedom with posing as well and more than once we've developed an idea or two by just faffing around and having a laugh! His communication skills are brilliant and I knew exactly what to expect from the shoot beforehand, so it was much easier to get into character and have fun with the shoot. Though this isn't something I've normally put in my photographer references, it needs to be said - Gordon's fashion sense is off the chain!! Having carefully planned this outfit for a good six months pretty much down to the buttons, everything on it was practical, comfortable, well fitting and to be frank, I felt like a complete and total badass in his almost Resident Evil-esque outfit!

Gordon had the images sent back to me within (I think) three days as well as a movie he'd fashioned out of the image stills to fit the character story ! They looked absolutely fantastic and I was really touched by the level of thought he'd put into the story behind the shoot, going so far as to include our shared love of owls - I knew there was a reason we got on so well!

There are still a few key plot points missing from the crusade of the Owl Warrior, so Gordon and I (and hopefully my partner, whom is tragically killed in the story) will be shooting this again in the future but in the meantime, I can only say that you should absolutely 100% shoot with this lovely gentleman if given the chance. Definitely recommend and I can't wait for the next arc of the story - thank you again Gordon for such a lovely, fun filled day!

I just love working with Gordon! He has some fantastic ideas, he is considerate and very kind, if doing an outdoor shoot where it might get a bit warm, he makes sure he provides water for the team. His work is amazing! I've worked with him several times now, he is a pleasure to work with and I know I will always get exactly what I want from the shoot. He is very accommodating and definitely someone I can trust. Gordon would never let you down! Looking forward to many more shoots together.
