Wonderful to see Peter last month and catch up on a pleasant location shoot at Hailes Abbey ruins. Peter arrived on time and as usual pre comms were great. Peter makes me laugh so much, we always have a natty and good time catching up as we drive to the location.

Once we arrived, Peter shot at a relaxed pace and was open to my ideas as well as coming up with his own. We shot against the ruins and had a good time along the way.

Peter is a down to earth, good fun photography to shoot with. I consider him a friend. Because we are always so comfortable shooting together, the shots always come out relaxed and natural.

I always look forward to seeing Peter and I'm excited to see what we created on this shoot.

We have shot many times now so of course, Peter is definitely recommended!

Many thanks for your time Peter :)

It was a delight to work with Peter again last week when he booked me, alongside another photographer, for a four hour shoot at Daniel’s Mill in Bridgnorth.

I’ve met a few photographers through Peter, and he’s such a wonderful guiding presence for those who aren’t used to model photogrpahy. He’ll be encouraging and helpful without once ‘taking charge’ and I think it’s a testament to Peter’s gentle, kind personality that so many photographers fee comfortable enough with him to try something out of their comfort zone.

Peter, of course, was wonderful to work with as always and I’m so glad he chooses to book me again and again. I always look forward to a date in the diary!

Recommended wholeheartedly other models, always! Thanks so much Peter ❤️

I was so pleased to work with Peter again recently when he booked onto my model event at Dracup’s cottage in Bridgnorth.

It was a wonderful shoot and the time really flew by. Peter made the most of the lovely location and it was fun experimenting with different coloured lights. He also brought along a pile of amazing and unusual outfits, lent to us by his lovely daughter Kim. This meant our images from the day were entirely unique.

As always, it was so nice to catch up and capture some amazing images too. Peter was kind enough to allow me to pick a few to be edited and they are beautiful!

Peter was also kind enough to gift me an absolutely stunning dress that I’d worn during a previous shoot. I’m so incredibly grateful to him for that, as it really will be worn and loved.

I’d recommend Peter to everyone and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks so much Peter 😊

This reference is for both the medieval themed shoot and also the hours boudoir shoot at Penguin Studios at the end of March.

Peter and I have shot together many times now. Every shoot with Peter, is good fun, experimental and often something completely different. Peter wanted to try a medieval inspired shoot with his collectable sword he owns. As usual Peter was considerate, had his own ideas and was his usual fun self. It did get cold on this shoot, so he was kind enough to grab us a warm drink afterwards. The photos from the medieval shoot came out really well. I had never shot this theme!! But was pleased with the end results.

Peter and I have shot alot of location but we had amazingly never done studio boudoir! Peter turned up early to the studio and was well prepared. We worked together on range of ideas and Peter was relaxed shooting boudoir. Today we got a featured on Purpleport for one of our Boudoir edits, stood by the natural light window. The hour flew and it went really well.

Peter is a really fun photographer to work with. He is always courteous to the model and captures some good shots along the way!

I would always recommend the lovely Peter! :) x

A lovely Christmas themed shoot with Peter at the end of November. We went to one of our favourite spots Broadway and shot amongst the Christmas lights! Peter arrived on time and had excellent communication skills leading up to and during the shoot! Peter made me laugh as usual and the shoot was very enjoyable. I didn't expect any different as we usually have a fun time on our shoots. Peter was reliable and professional and genuinely cares about the models well being. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Peter with your family and thanks again for another great shoot :)

Of course definitely recommended!! X

Peter booked me recently for a shoot around my home town of Bridgnorth, with another lovely photographer, Kevin.

Peter had bought a perfect replica of the black gown worn by Rita Hayworth in Gilda, so the main objective of the shoot was to make use of that at Bridgnorth train station. Peter booked four hours so we also shot a red wiggle dress in High town too.

It was such a lovely day, spent with wonderful company! Peter and Kevin are both so kind and easy to work with. We shot a variety of images, despite there only being two outfits to make use of due to a lack of changing rooms.

My favourite look was definitely the Gilda gown at the station. Peter did so well in buying an authentic, well made work of art, and I was privileged to wear it for him. We certainly gave visitors to the station something to look at. Haha!

It was all together a delightful way to spend a sunny afternoon. I’d recommend Peter to other models a hundred times over!

Thanks for another lovely shoot Peter! 😊

A fun afternoon shooting with Peter and Kevin at the local Arboretum to me. The shoot as always was very enjoyable and relaxed. Peter, Kevin and I had great banter between us. Both of them were of course completely professional as well of course. Great communications by Peter too prior and after the shoot. Thanks very much Peter. Another good shoot :) x

I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve worked with Peter now, but each shoot is such a joy! And so I was really happy when he booked onto a duo shoot at Daniel’s Mill in Bridgnorth, hosted by Vampire Princess and myself.

As always, Peter arrived early and raring to go on the day. He’s always full of ideas and his passion for photography is contagious! He’s a really sweet, kind person and shoots with him are a lot of fun, Wednesday was not exception.

Peter’s images are beautiful and the back of cam images I saw on the day were lovely.

Peter was also kind enough to bring along a dress he’d commissioned so I could try it on for a future shoot with him. The dress fit perfectly and was so beautiful. I’m so looking forward to wearing it with all the styling and accessories!

I’d recommend Peter to other models always! Thanks so much Peter 😁

This was my first time working with Peter on my duo day with miss Rosie Lea.

Peter was great to work with, very respectful and I can’t wait to work with him again

A great afternoon with Peter today. Not sure how many times we have shot now but everyone is enjoyable. Peter is a down to earth, genuine photographer. He is creative and easy going and has a good sense of humour. We got some great images today at the Lavender Fields and at Upper Slaughter. I find Peter easy to shoot with, he suggests his own ideas and is open to mine. Peter also shows back of camera images regularly. We have a good laugh and an enjoyable time on every shoot. I would definitely recommend Peter to other models. We have shot together countless times now and they are all good fun :) x

Had a great shoot with Peter in the studio. Has a wonderful style and so easy to work with! Highly creative and was such fun!! Highly recommended!!

Peter attended my model day at Myk G Studio before it closed down, it was the first time we got to work together and I am so glad we did! Peter is one of the kindest and respectful people you'll ever meet, he was constantly showing me images during our shoot which helped a lot during the shoot to create amazing images. And no surprise there, every image Peter has posted since I absolutelty love, I also got a link from him to more images which I'm still working my way through because it's so hard to choose my favourites from this shoot!

If you get an opportunity to work with Peter, don't miss out on it! You'll have amazing time I'm sure :)

Thank you Peter for a fab shoot :)

Peter and I enjoyed a Steam Railway shoot last week on the Gloucestershire Steam Railway. Peter is easy to get on with and the shoot flowed really well. We have shot a handful of times together now and I look forward to our shoots when one is coming up in the calendar! We shot at a very relaxed pace and enjoyed a nice ride on a couple of Steam trains whilst there. Peter is always open to my ideas and creative with his own. Peter is always very hospitable and brought me a coffee and an ice cream. Peters communication before and after the shoot is always spot on too. I will always recommend shooting with Peter - as every shoot we have had, has been a very enjoyable day :) x

Lovely Peter back in the studio after a couple years away ( Covid grrrr) attending Paula W model day here at the studio. As always peter is the complete gentleman not only respecting the model but also the studio and its equipment.

I know that Paula enjoyed working with him and whilst I haven't seen any of the images Im confident they will be great.

I can highly recommend Peter to all models of all levels and studio owners as well.

Thanks for coming Peter

Miss Rosie Lea

I’ve worked with Peter 13 times now and each shoot is an absolute joy. Most recently Peter responded to a casting call looking for photographers interested in shooting my ‘Alice in Wonderland’ sets at Far Forest Studio.

Peter is as kind and considerate as they come. He’s also a creative photographer with a head full of amazing ideas! It’s always so much fun to work alongside him and catch up ❤️

If you want a lovely, comfortable and successful shoot work with Peter! I’m already looking forward to our next shoot. Thanks so much Peter! 😊

I absolutely love shooting with Pete, he drives 3 hours to get to me and 3 hours back he absolutely amazes me with his dedication!

This time around we decided on a car shoot. Pete rocked up nice and early, so of course after his long journey I made sure I got a coffee in him 😁 We then went looking for a good spot on the seafront for a good background and came across a lovely car park just before the sand dunes near my house.

The day turned out to be really lovely and sunny so of course we had to move around to get the best light from various angles and ended up with such a lovely variety of photos!

I would recommend Pete over and over to anyone curious about working with him. He is dedicated and ready to try new ideas where no one else will, he is a privilege to work with and now a good friend of mine.

Thank you for another wonderful shoot and here's to the next 1 😊

Peter came to the Light Painting and Long Exposures Group shoot run by Alastair Currill and I. I always like to see Peter as I know him so well now; He is a friendly face to the group. As usual Peter was his lovely self, respectful of others and the group shoot dynamic and fitted in well. Thanks for coming Peter - see you in June :) x

Another great shoot with Peter! Peter came down to my 1920s Flapper Girl Group Shoot on Sunday. Peter was on time and social with the group. Peter is now a photographer I particularly look forward to working with, we know each other well and often have chats about the family and things we have been up to. As a Photographer, Peter is kind, and fun. He is creative and always respectful to the models he works with. On this shoot Peter was kind enough to bring me some old records to use as future props for shoots. He is such a lovely Photographer to shoot with and I am looking forward to the next shoot. Of course I definitely recommend him :)

See you in April Peter, thanks for a great shoot! :) x

Peter attended my Christmas Pin Up Group Shoot recently at F8 Studio Gloucester. Peter came in as polite and friendly as usual. We get on very well so was nice to see him and have a catch up. A very relaxed and easy photographer to shoot with, Peter is very down to earth and a good family man. Peter fitted in with all group protocol and was respectful to everyone at the group shoot. Thank you for coming Peter, have a lovely Christmas :) x

A lovely start to Autumn shooting with Peter on the 1st October. A picturesque location shoot in Broadway, we wandering around at a casual pace, shooting at spots we thought were attractive.

Peter has great conversation and stories and keeps the shoot moving at a steady pace with his creative ideas and chat. We found plenty of places to shoot and even the sun joined us too!

Peter was also kind enough to buy me a coffee and help me with my bag, he is always very considerate of the model and makes them feel comfortable. Looking forward to seeing the photos as it was the start of Autumn and a beautiful day. Thank you Peter - a pleasure as always :) x
