A second fabulous shoot with Phil, again at York Photo Studio.

It was lovely to work with him again and have a catch up! Phil's shoots are always very relaxed and highly creative, this shoot was no exception.

He was expanding on an idea he had previously tried and we spent the time working on this, as before Phil provided some absolutely stunning dresses to wear.

They were beautifully looked after and clean.

The shoot flew by and we created some really beautiful and unique images (big thank you to Kevin for being the 'thrower')

Working with Phil is a lovely process and I would certainly recommend him as before!

Thank you again Phil!

I had a fantastic shoot with Phil in York on the 26th! Pre-comms were excellent and the shoot itself was really relaxed and fun. I found Phil really easy to work with and had the best time dressing up in all the costumes he'd brought along. Phil was really helpful in directing and showing me examples of the exact kind of image he wanted to achieve, whilst giving me a lot of freedom to try out a lot of different poses and variations on the same themes.

Would 100% recommend and can't wait to work with again! :)

Today I had a wonderful shibari/boudoir shoot with Phil at a local hotel. My spouse did the rigging required and also assisted with the lighting. Phil was very welcoming of both of us. He is a good host and he was very mindful of our comfort throughout the shoot. He has an excellent eye for what works. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the results! His pre-communications were also excellent and the exact amount of detail required to make it work. I recommended him to new and experienced models alike :)

I got shoot not just once but twice with this lovely fellow, once on location and once at York Photo Studio....

Phil is the most respectful and thoughtful photographer I've met, with a wonderful eye for capturing classic scenes - he is fantastic to talk to, and as always, the images look incredible :)

I can't recommend this awesome individual enough to all, what a lovely photographer, don't miss out on working with Phil :)

I had a lovely time shooting today at Rise Hall with Phil and his wife, Sarah.

All communications prior to the shoot were really good which made it easy for me to pack and prepare for the shoot.

Phil and Sarah arrived with a huge assortment of dresses in a range of sizes, colours and styles which meant we had lots to choose from. Even though we only had a couple of hours together we moved through several sets quickly due to great communication and understanding of what we wanted to achieve.

Phil was really considerate of me as a model, not wanting me to get too cold if we shot outside and was very well organised which meant we could really make the most of our shoot time.

I'm really excited to see the results from the day and would not hesitate to recommend Phil and Sarah. They are both lovely people :)

I was lucky enough to work with Phil yesterday and I am so pleased he booked on my studio day. His pre comms were great, he arrived on time and was warm and friendly. I was blown away by the stunning outfits he brought with him. I loved his passion for what he does and you can really tell he enjoys what he creates. I loved experimenting with the different dresses and fabric. I would love to work with him again, highly recommended from me. Thanks Phil!

Well I spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon working with Phil at the York Photo Studio. I have admired his work for sometime and was very happy that he had booked some shoot time with myself!...

When he arrived I found him to be very warm, professional and friendly. He is clearly a talented photographer with an eye for beautifully feminine photographs!... He brought some stunning dresses with him and was more than happy to shoot something with a different feel!...

The shoot flew by and was full of tea, chats and wonderful photographs!

I would certainly recommend him to other models and would love to work with him again in the future!

A very genuine person and wonderful photographer! Someone I felt extremely comfortable around!

Thank you again Phil!

I had a really lovely first shoot with Phil during my first studio day at York Photo Studio. Phil is super creative and even brought some gorgeous dresses for me to shoot in on the day. We shot a mixture of images in the studio and also outside as we were lucky enough to have some bright and beautiful weather. Hopefully I will shoot with Phil again in the future. Highly recommended to all creatives.

I recently got to shoot with the absolutely epic Phil again on a fabulous afternoon of shooting some breathtaking medieval outfits and scenes at York Photo Studio!

Phil is one of those amazing individual who is both fun and relaxing to be around, with his confident way around the camera, the perfect props he brought along and the ideas/feedback/direction he gave during the shoot, means incredible images :)

Thank you for a most unique and awesome afternoon - easily recommended to all models!

I hope to work with him again.

I worked with Phil for the first time at Colton towers.

He is extremely friendly and makes you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot.

Great at direction and knows exactly what he wants from a shoot, highly recommended by me.

Had a fun location shoot in York yesterday with Phil and had such a great time!!

Phil is super easy to work with, gives great direction, great conversation and knows exactly what he's aiming for.

I would highly recommend Phil to any model and I hope to work with you again in the near future 😊

I shot with Phil today at my studio day at York Photo studio. We had a 1-2-1 session and he was also in the group session at the end. Both were fantastic and easy with Phil. I loved our 1-2-1 session as Phil had already planned a super vogue inspired concept. I love working with people like Phil as he has a fantastic creative energy and makes you feel great! It's refreshing to work with a photographer who not only thinks outside of the box but then takes it to a whole new level! I look forward to working with Chris in the future. A sure winner for me.
