I had a wonderful photoshoot with Eric!

We met at the Pennard castle with the stunning view towards the Three Cliffs Bay to do an artistic bikini photoshoot with a piece of a sheer fabric in the wind and after we went to the beautiful Oxwich Bay to have a fashion photoshoot.

Eric was a real gentleman and it was a pleasure to work with him. He was was professional and so welcoming! After the shoot Eric offered to drive me back to my hotel when one of my buses didn't arrive which was extremely kind of him!

I am very grateful we could do the photoshoot at one of the most beautiful places and I am sure the photographs will be incredible.

Had a really good shoot with Pappy during my Tour to the South of Wales at my hired Apartment.

On the day of shooting Eric was really easy to work with and talk to. He brought along a book of high quality printed images of his previous work along with some ideas for the shoot. It was so lovely to see some vibrant images to get us started.

We shot lots of different fashion looks along with some lingerie and implied stuff too. Eric is really good at framing any composition and really takes his time to perfect and put shots together and I really appreciate his admiration and dedication towards his photography.

Time flew by any we had a fantastic shoot.

More than recommended! Can’t thank him enough for such a lovely shoot.

Eric recently did a shoot at my studio with @alice_the_fabulous. He was an absolute gentleman, and both myself and the model enjoyed working with him immensely, and I thoroughly look forward to working with him again. Most definitely recommended.

I had a lovely shoot with Eric at a studio in Swansea.

He arrived with a warm and welcoming attitude and I felt at ease to shoot with him. Eric has a great eye for a photo, and although he seems a little nervous with it all, I think he's doing really well and creating some lovely work!

He was a pleasure to shoot with, and I definitely recommend him. x

Eric applies to one of my casting calls and I can honestly say he’s one of the sweetest photographers I’ve ever worked with! The shoot went at a lovely relaxed pace and we worked through a variety of styles. We got some lovely shots! I would happily work with him again!

What a sweetheart. Eric is one of the most/possibly the most! generous photographers I have worked with as well as talented.

Due to his age I did not know what to expect but his age says it all, all down to expierience.

He was very laid back, great communication and knew exactly what he was doing. Absolutely great to work with, highly recommend.

I had a 2hr shoot with the lovely Eric at Manse studio on my mini Wales tour. He knew what he was after and we shot a few sets in the time, pictures looked great from what I saw! Eric is a gentleman and easy going. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others :)

I had a fabulous shoot with the lovely Eric...what a gent!

Eric collected me from our meeting point and drove us to our little cove spot on the beach in Caswell Bay. What a great location he picked!

Eric puts you at ease and I felt very comfortable during our shoot. Communication was perfect from pre-comms and through the shoot.

We worked really well together and nailed the shots! Eric has captured some blinders and I can't wait to see them!

He even made sure I got back to the station on time ♥

Would happily work with Eric again in the future and I definitely recommend!

I worked with Eric again a couple of days ago on my studio day at Curiosity.

Eric had a bit of help from Arthur for the first half an hour of the day and then he was left in my hands. Due to the camera not being able to set off the flash I helped Eric set up a low key art nude continuous lighting set up.

Eric was happy for me to help with camera settings, lighting and composition. I just wanted to make sure Eric walked away with the best shots possible and I definitely think we managed it! :)

I am looking forward to seeing the images and hopefully working with Eric again one day. :)

I had a lovely and very relaxed shoot with Eric. He took some lovely pictures and we had a great chat. He was also kind enough to give me a lift to my godson's birthday party afterward.

I would happily work with him again and highly recommend him. Xxx

This was my first shoot with Eric we worked on location. He drove all the way to my house and the locations I suggested, very polite with excellent pre shoot comms, respectful and helpful.

The shoot was very relaxed and creative, and I was very pleased with the results I had a peek at.

Would definitely recommend him :)

I worked with Eric for a couple of hours during my ten day Wales tour last week. We made the most of the stunning weather and headed out to shoot on location for 3/4 of the shoot, then finished up in the hotel room shooting some nudes and lingerie.

The shoot zoomed by- but we got some super shots and got a lot done! Eric was easy to work with- he had ideas but let me pose freely and look on the back of the camera to see what the light was like.

I hope I can work with Eric again one day- whether it's in Wales, or at my own studio. Thanks, Eric! :)

Shooting with Eric at a hotel in Wales was a pleasure, he is very professional & relaxed....

Armed with some lovely ideas, Eric used some wonderful angles with his camera to capture glamorous images - always explaining what he was doing and reasons for it, he knows his stuff!

I would definitely recommend Eric to you models, thank you for a wonderful time :)

I shot with Eric when he attended my Big Picnic event at Rhossili Bay and had a great time!

He is professional and very relaxed which instantly made me at ease, shooting with him was very easy, he gave direction and knew what he wanted to capture!

It was a fun day & I hope that Eric will come again to the next event :) Highly recommended!

He’s very professional, respectful, friendly and gives great directions to achieve the desired shot. The time just flew by and we got some fantastic images! I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Eric again. Thank you. Franka x

I worked with Eric at David Radfords studio for a few hours. Eric is a lovely man to shoot with, with a professional attitude. Good direction and a very relaxed shoot. There is no way in his 80s! More like 50s with his energy! Thankyou for a lovely shoot and I hope we work together again soon! Best wishes, Helen x
