Simon is a great creative personality with the strong eye for detail and a precise vision of the shoot and what he expects from his model. He clearly communicates his ideas and knows when the shot was great, that he clearly communicates to encourage and direct the model. Simon was very collaborative and passionate about wardrobe options and picked what he believed worked best; he’s got a great visual taste and communicates very professionally! I’d love to work with him again and I highly recommend him to any model.

A fantastic shoot with the lovely Simon...

Our second shoot together...

Simon is a great guy to work with...

We did a mixture of outside and inside work...

We achieved really good images in a short space of time...

One thing (amongst others) that strikes me about Simon is the way he can get me looking really slim (with creativity) just by changing my angle slightly...

I have seen the images edited and I LOVE them, can't wait to upload them soon...

Thank you Simon...

WOW, I shot with Simon after quite a few years, Simons photos were excellent, he is creative, organised and superb at multi tasking. I was wowed by the back of camera images whilst on the shoot, he also gave me a lift to and from Wales (legend). 3 hrs with Simon flew by! Cheers Simon.

Another fabulous whirlwind of a shoot with Simon in Wales… We styled some awesome looks and rampaged through the wild gardens making funky images!

I’m always grateful to work with Simon as there’s always so much fun and creativity! Thanks so much Simon :D

I had a fabulous second shoot with Simon during Paul's Wales event at the weekend, this time a solo shoot.

We discussed ideas and outfits beforehand and Simon provided some incredible steampunk accessories, masks and strappy harness lingerie which I loved wearing on our shoot. We also did some fashion and art nude towards the end of the shoot. We managed to fit a lot into the time we had. Simon showed me images on the back of his camera throughout and they were amazing!

Simon is very talented, creative, respectful, professional and easy to work with. He gives clear direction but also allowed me to pose freely and give input and ideas too.

Highly recommended by me and would love to work with him again :)

Thank you!

It was so great to reconnect with Simon during the Pauls Studio Wales Weekend, this time having the opportunity to shoot on location rather than in studio. We really utilised the space and worked our way g through many juxtaposing sets. I look forward to seeing the work we created and hope to work with Simon again!

I had a great shoot with Simon in his studio when I visited his local area. Simon is really easy to work with, he knows what he wants to achieve and gives excellent directions. We worked through a number of different sets and the images on the camera looked great. Simon was completely professional and respectful throughout the shoot and I have no hesitation recommending him to any model, he's a lovely person and a great photographer.

Summers Abroad

After hosting Simon on multiple UK events we finally got the chance to host him on one of our abroad adventures! Simon joined us in Nevada and as expected fit in to the group really well :D

Simon is great company both on the shoots themselves and in the social downtime too! He got on with Mikki who he was paired to shoot with for the week, both working very well together, and the 2 models loved working with him as well :)

All in all a great week with lots of fab memories. Happily recommended and hope to host him abroad again in the future :D

Simon is an intelligent and patient photographer.

He answered my casting and after a good number of calls from interested parties who sadly were unprofessional and therefore I refused to work with I felt Simon was in a class of his own.

3 hour shoot with many ideas of his which were laid out in the pre wedding week via email.

We had a variety of images using both B&W and colour. Different types of film and a very satisfying result.

Will definitely shoot again with Simon.

Simon attended The Manor House event and I was lucky enough to get a 1-1 slot within the day :) Simon contacted me beforehand with ideas and outfits we could use, really helpful as this saved alot of time on the day. His precision is always on point and just from the back of the camera the images again looked fab. We are already planning another shoot and I literally cannot wait. A true professional and lovely guy to work with. Highly recommended:)

Another brilliant shoot with Simon at the Manor House! This one might have been the craziest one yet!

Simon had a wonderful and wacky theme for the shoot and we had so much fun with it :)

The pictures from the shoot look absolutely epic and I hope to work with Simon again soon!

Thanks so much :)

Whilst on a weekend in Wales at an event organised by Paul's studio I was lucky enough to get paired on a duo shoot with Hattie grace.

Before even shooting I felt a gr at presence and energy from Simon and was so excited. He was everything and more. So considerate of the models being cold/unhappy and made us both feel so comfortable throughout. We worked in outside locations and indoors and got some amazing images. Simon gives great direction and bouncing off the models energy. I absolutely loved my shoot and will definitely be working with Simon again! Thank you!! :)

I was super lucky to get a little bonus shoot with Simon at Paul’s Studio Wales Weekend recently. I’ve worked with Simon quite a few times.. so I knew that we would have fun!

Of course we had a blast and got some wicked pictures! I’m looking forward to working with Simon again in the future and really highly recommend him. Great photos and great times!! Thank you :)

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Simon for the first time at the weekend during Pauls Wales trip at the most stunning working farm estate location. The shoot was alongside Bella Peach who is one of my favourite models to duo with. We did a mix of indoor and outdoor shooting and Simon was very kind and didn’t make us shoot outside in the cold and wind for too long. He definitely puts models comfort first. Simon gave us great direction but he also allowed us to give our own ideas and input too. He let us see the photos on the back of his camera and I was blown away, they were amazing! Simon is professional, respectful, easy to talk to and an overall joy to work with. I would certainly work with him again and I highly recommend him to others. Thanks Simon :)

I had the pleasure to work with Simon during the wales weekend organized by Paul.

Working with Simon was a real pleasure, lots of set of images using different part of the building indoor and outdoor. He is creative and great photography. I can’t wait to see final results.

I would be happy to work with him again and I recommend him to other models and creatives. Thank you so much Simon for the great shoot!
