WOW. What a perfect first impression of purple port. Phil and his wife are not only the lovliest, friendliest people but also are incredibly skilled at photography and direction, I was so nervous and yet with their help I felt so natural and had a lot of fun today. We had a cup of tea and a chat about what we'd like to shoot and we'd made Pinterest boards of what styles we like previously. Overall, Phil had very organised planning, was so understanding and just generally a very talented and kind person. Thank you, so much, for today.

Phil is very experienced and instinctively knows how to get the best out of a model. Having his wife there makes for an extremely relaxed atmosphere, and she has great ideas about accessories and details, such as hair and make up. I really enjoyed this shoot and I'm looking forward to working with him again. Fantastic images and a very quick turn around.

I had a shoot today with Phil at his house. I felt welcomed and they eased my nerves, him and his wife was so easy to get alone with. He rocked it!! I would highly recommend. I will be going back for

Definite.

This was my second time shooting with Phil, and it was way more fun than the first time.

We started with a lovely cup of tea and then got straight to it, we stuck with all simple ideas to see what we could create and it seemed to really work for us. Not to mention we had Phil's wife Carla there who helped us keep up the energy all the way through the shoot.

It was also really great seeing how both our skills have grown in the past 2 years and being able to catch up. If anyone is wondering if they should shoot with Phil then the answer is yes! I can not reccomend him more, him and Carla are so easy to get along with and and amazing at making the model feel comfortable.

Let's not leave it so long next time.

Wow! Where do I start? Phil and his wife are so lovely, and they both have such a great eye for capturing a models best angles. They have a wonderful little studio, and offered me a nice warm beverage. As a fairly new model I'm still exploring poses and expressions, but they made me feel so comfortable and I felt free to try new poses and experiment. Great experience and looking forward to doing a shoot again in the future. Thanks again!

I had a lovely time at Phils shooting gells for the first time. Both him and his wife are lovely company, and very conversational making the whole thing a breeze without any awkwardness. I particularly liked the company of all the cats aswell :D

I would 100% recommend Phil, his wife also helps out too, assisting when needed with any direction on pose and helping to hide those labels which pop out of underwear on shoot :P Great few hours xx

I had my First shoot with Phil today and his wife. I’ve never done a studio before it was great to experience new ideas.

I love every moment of the shoot it was fun and full of laugher, I can’t wait to see the pictures.i got abit lost on the way but manage to get there and was offered a drink and then had a chat with Phil to go through ideas he made me feel relax and comfortable.

We did range of different things and his wife in the background was helping with ideas and Phil gave good direction.

I would definitely recommend them to any model and I would deffo love to book another shoot very soon with them.

Thankyou for a good day x

Phil kindly came to the rescue when our photographer cancelled the afternoon before the shoot. Myself and the MUA were so grateful!

Phil's comms were excellent and comprehensive, so organising everything was so easy and we rocked up with various looks and knocked out several sets in only a few hours.

I had a great time and was made to feel so welcome by Phil and his lovely wife, and we were so well looked after too! Phil was easy to work with, gave great direction and had some very helpful suggestions too!

The photos that we are receiving are absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted to achieve too, thank you!

Highly recommend Phil and I would definitely work with him again, hopefully soon!

A really nice photographer with a very helpful wife who is often in the background pointing out faults and giving ideas. A warm photographer who you can feel really comfortable around. Had a great shoot today and although I'm yet to see my images as it was today he has shot my wife before and the outcome was fantastic as is the rest of his portfolio :)

Phil was great and put my nerves at ease as I had not done any shoots for years. His wife Carla was helpful and lovely to chat to. Look forward to working with you again!

Had a wonderful photoshoot with Phil! His home studio set up is brilliant and he and his wife were incredibly welcoming and friendly. With their support I was able to try different styles and poses which meant the shoot was both enjoyable and confidence boosting for me! The pictures I have seen so far are beautifully photographed and I wouldn't hesitate to work with Phil again. Thank you so much!

Second shoot with Phil and it was just as great as my first. Him and his wife were both very happy to welcome my partner for his first ever shoot! Fantastic couple and fantastic photographer. I hope I will get chance to work with Phil again.

I had an amazing time shooting with Phil today! Was such a amazing experience and really taught me a lot!

Phil knows exactly how to get amazing shots and knows how to create beautiful effects, he’s such a creative photographer who is open to new ideas!

Him and his wife Carla made me feel comfortable the minute I met them and the creativity in the room was amazing with Phil skill and experience on the camera and Carla helping with poses,styling and ideas it’s was a shoot I’ll always look back on.

So so so excited to work with them both again soon they are a perfect team together!

Thanks so much for having me!

Had my first shoot with Phil and it couldn't have gone better. This was my first time shooting with a photographer I did not personally know or knew through a friend so naturally I was very nervous turning up and not knowing what to expect. However after a cup of tea and a bit of chat it wasn't long before we were all relaxed, having fun and playing with ideas. I was even lucky enough to meet his wife, Carla who was a great addition to the shoot, she may have not be doing the photography but she is great help when it comes to posing the model. Together Phil and Carla make a great team and I would highly recommend working with them, specially if you're new to modeling.

Had my first shoot today with Phil. I was made to feel welcome straight away and I had the pleasure of meeting his wife. They both made me feel safe, secure and definatly made the shoot enjoyable. I would defiantly recomend Phil and I am not only looking forward to seeing the pictures, but also looking forward to working with them both again.

Had my first shoot with Phil recently and it was great, I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed and that nothing was too much trouble.

Carla was a great addition as she helped keep the mood light, suggested and helped with positions and kept the atmosphere cheery.

Phil was great behind the camera, gave me direction and encouraged me to push myself for better results.

I am very much looking forward to seeing my images and hopefully shooting with Phil again in the future.

I had a shoot with Phil today and was met with a friendly and enthusiastic approach straight away from both him and Carla. I want to make sure I recommend them both! Phil is amazing behind the camera and really knows what he is doing with lighting and angles, very focussed and polite while directing. Helped me expand on my look with expressions and body shapes I couldn't have thought of myself! And of course the wonderful shoot environment would not be complete without Carla, her posing/outfit suggestions worked perfectly with Phil's photography style. Highly recommended, I had a very fun day and achieved hundreds of stunning yet varied shots! I hope to work together again in the future.

What a fun day!!

Me and my friend came to have a shoot with Phil and we weren't disappointed :)

He was open to us having some music on low to help us get into the swing of things, he made us feel at ease, he was very polite and trusting. The shoot was very laid back and fun, which is exactly what you need to feel comfortable!

How comfortable we were definitely shows on the photos and it's so good to have a studio set up in my portfolio! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos.

Recommended, thanks Phil! :) x
