I recently worked with Brian on a shoot and I can wholeheartedly recommend him. From the start, Brian was incredibly professional, organized, and clear in his communication. He took the time to show me the location beforehand, which helped me plan what to bring and get a feel for the space. The location itself was beautiful and serene, providing the perfect backdrop for the shoot.

Brian's attention to detail really stood out—the way he used light and colour to create different moods and thoughtfully approached each set. It was clear that he’s not just focused on getting great shots, but on making sure everything works together creatively. His ability to adjust the lighting and incorporate the natural surroundings made a big difference.

He’s also a genuinely kind and warm person, and it was a pleasure to work with him. His wife was there too, and she was equally lovely and supportive, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the day. They both created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made the shoot enjoyable and smooth. I really appreciated their kindness and attention to detail, as well as plenty of great conversations & tea!

As a photographer, Brian is great at giving direction while also allowing space for creative input. He’s patient, respectful, and knows how to capture striking images. I felt confident and relaxed in front of the camera, which is a testament to his skill.

Thank you Brian for a great shoot.

Look forward to working with him again soon! ✨🙏

I've had my second shoot already with Brian and although this one was a bit different than the fist, it was still really fun.

I will always recommend him 10/10 as he's simply a pleasure to be around, and work with!

I've had my first shoot with Brian recently.

From the get-go he was very exact on what his plans for the shoot were and had dates and times in mind which gave me time to prepare. One thing I really appreciated was that he acknowledged the levels that I am willing to shoot at, and made no efforts to push those boundaries. Instead he was extremely respectful and excellent with communicating. Never had to wait for ages to get a reply from him.

He collected me from my home and we went to a few locations where we got some great pictures! We saw horses at one of these stunning locations which was great. We had tea at his home with his lovely wife before I was driven back home. Brian is very conversational so there were never any awkward moments, just great shots.

Such a great person to be around and work with. 10/10 across the board! And I recommend :)

I know we will work together again soon!!

I have officially lost count on how many times I have shot with Brian over the years and it's always a great experience! This time we shot from the fantastic Fareham Studio. Brian came prepared with ideas for what he wanted to shoot!

A very talented photographer who I'm always happy to highly recommend to all!

Thank you for a fantastic shoot,

First class Photographer and all round amazing human being!

Communication was easy, direct, thorough and consistent from start until finish, with a detailed plan for the shoot and a flexible approach to create spontaneously also

Today's photoshoot was a models dream!

The shoot was relaxed fun, creative and a pure joy!

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity of working with such a delightful professional photographer, thank you :)

Oh.Gosh.You.Found.Me

What an incredible photographer to work with! I have honestly never met someone who is so well organised and yet still flexible enough that when things didn't work as intended was still able to get the shots wanted.

I had the honour of meeting and working with pan in his lovely warm home studio. Upon arrival I was shown the studio space we'd be using, the room where I'd be changing and the bathroom if needed. There was a steady flow of coffee and a very well thought out shoot plan.

Pan provided me with an idea of what style of clothes to bring, even going through my previous images to ask about set items. We decided against one dress as it's fairly heavy and would leave marks.

Working with pan was great fun. I was very impressed with the studio light set up and with just how quickly things could be moved around for different effects.

Pan was happy to let me free pose but also wasn't worried about asking for small changes which I was more than happy to keep in mind and apply.

All in all, a great shoot with a wonderful photographer.

I would happily work with you again and I recommend your skills to anyone who asks.

I just love shooting with Brian. The organisation that goes into a shoot with Brian is brilliant with great pre shoot coms, with that Brian is also happy to go with the flow when he sees poses/outfits that work. This is what makes shooting with Brain so lovely.

Brian had organised a workshop with two other photographers both coming recommended by Brain himself and this did not disappoint as they were also great to work with.

With lots of tea and time mapped out for breaks the shoot went smoothly and I enjoyed every minuet of it.

Would I recommend Brian...YES! Without a doubt.

Highly recommended and look forward to our next shoot.

Miss L Ginge

Well firstly what a warm and lovely welcome I got from Brian and his lovely wife, making me feel comfortable immediately.

Brian has a great set up and his own studio space with a dressing room, has made it into a fantastic space to create images. Along with this Brian was polite, professional and most importantly organised. From his first message coms were detailed and very professional.

We worked through a variety of styles which always makes for a great shoot. Brain had some brilliant ideas, however was very happy with my impute on posing. Working comfortably as a team we created some great images.

I very much look forward to working with Brian again and very highly recommended

I had a really lovely afternoon shooting aerial photos with Brian! I have a lot of rather large, heavy aerial gear, and Brian came all the way up to me with his van so that we could bring it all with us. We set up my rig in a hall that Brian had arranged for the shoot, and he was keen to help me in any way he could - carrying heavy rigging bags, helping me to build the rig & re-rig with different apparatus, running over to rotate me as necessary, etc!

During the shoot Brian worked hard to ensure I was well lit at all of the heights I worked at, and passed me the camera to look through the images after each set to make sure I was happy with how they were turning out.

We got some really gorgeous shots - even in their low res unedited form I'm really happy with them! I've had half of the edits back already and I'm now just trying to decide what to post first! As well as taking cracking photos, Brian is just a really lovely friendly person to chat to and spend time with, which made the time go by really quickly! Thanks again for a great shoot, and I hope to see you again for some forest antics on a less rainy day! :)

I had a really brilliant day with Brian, I think that he is an amazing photographer and I found the way that he photographs really easy to work with. He planned the shoot so beautifully thinking of every idea and he put so much effort into making sure that I was fully informed and knew what to get from each shot he was also very kind to me and looked after me so well at his beautiful home. I can’t thank you enough for giving me such a lovely day, and also giving me wisdom which I will use continually throughout my modelling career from what I saw from the back of camera I could see that the photos were going to be really interesting unique and something that I am really looking forward to see . Thank you so much Brian for such a lovely day and I can’t wait to work with you in the future, it seems we are on similar pages creatively which is a wonderful thing. Brian comes highly recommended by me to any model XX

Had a very enjoyable shoot with pan.

As soon as I arrived he showed me around his studio which was very well equipped.

He was friendly, welcoming and respectful throughout the whole shoot.

We did some gels which I had not done much of before, he explained everything very well and talked me through it.

I had a great time working with pan and I look forward to my studio day later this month.

Would highly recommend.

I had my first shoot yesterday with Brian. I can't express how much of an amazing photographer he is, but also how kind and genuine he was. I felt very comfortable, and Brian always checked my levels in which I'd be happy to work within. Brian was both appropriate, and very professional, and made sure I felt happy and safe.

Brian has an amazing home studio set-up with all professional equipment, and a separate bedroom and bathroom so I could maintain some privacy if I needed, he kept checking in to see how I was, and also showed me the images as we continued shooting.

I can't recommend working with Brian enough! One of the best photographers I have worked with,

Thank you Brian, again, for an incredible shoot!

So nice to have Brian joining us last Saturday at the natural and speed lighting workshop ran by modelography in Reading.

I have shot with Brian many times before and as always a very professional, super easy to work with photographer and also on of the nicest people you'll ever meet!

Very happy to highly recommend of course :)

Modelography

Great to meet Brian on my workshop at the weekend. Lovely guy, very easy to get along with and worked really well with everyone else. Would definitely recommend him to any model to work with!

Had my first and second ever shoot back with Brian after not modelling for over 3 years, and I couldn't have chosen a better photographer, mentor and friend to get me back in front of the camera.

Brian is amazing to work with, he creates such a fun, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. His creativity and enthusiasm for his art shines through in every photo he takes. I have been working with Brian for years now, he has not only helped me build my portfolio but has also helped build me as a person. I highly recommend working with Brian, my modelling journey certainly wouldn't have been the same without him!

Brian had organised a shoot with himself and a few of the photographers he knew from their camera club in his home studio. His pre coms communications were fantastic and he was happy providing any and all details I needed to know exactly what to expect on the day.

He made sure to let me know that he would be around at all times and was happy jumping in as an assistant with lighting and fabric throwing and all the rest!

When we actually shot together I have to say; we shot some fantastic images that I can’t WAIT to see! His ability to direct and visualise an image and what it has the potential to be makes him a pleasure to work with. We have booked a second shoot (weather dependant!) and I am so excited to be working with him again!!

I had a wonderful first shoot with Pan. Pre comms were great and he sent over ideas and concepts to work with prior to our shoot.

The shoot was productive and we worked through nearly all the ideas we set out to.

I can’t recommend Pan highly enough, he was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you for a great shoot!

What an absolute gentleman and total pleasure to work with. He was so considerate and extremely respectful. He was also very patient as I tried some new poses and some different sets with him. I am very pleased with the results we achieved together and look forward to working with him again in the future.

I met and assisted Pan while he was shooting with Miss Louise.

He was well prepared and arrived well equipped and on the day he was clear about what he was aiming for and how he wanted to achieve it. He was was very prefessional in his approach and was courteous and respectful towards his model who was comfortable and happy at all times.

Pan was also very engaging in discussions with me, willing to share and exchange ideas, more than happy to help and clearly someone who loves teaching.

Overall Pan is clearly a great people person and a great teacher and Id be happy to work with him again.

What a thoroughly enjoyable and creative experience for my first shoot with Pan.

Pre shoot communications were clear, thorough and full of information and planning.

Prompt, ran to time and incredibly professional....respectful and an honorable gent even when I was in a "vulnerable state", I never once felt uneasy which of course made the best work just flow.

Made to feel part of a team straight away, lovely to chat to and I asked so many nosey questions about the set ups that He was only too pleased to explain. Pan has a deep understanding and passion for his art.

I cannot wait to see the end results! (Despite us reviewing the captures every few shots in order to make adjustments and improvements along the way, it's still going to be exciting to see)

Thankyou for allowing me to be part of such an empowering and creative process.
