It was a delight to see Simon again at Paul's Studio Wales Weekend.

It had been far too long since our last shoot!!

Simon takes amazing photos, and is just so easy and fun to work with.

Super recommended :)

Highly recommended!!

Simon was great to shoot with, super easy and chill to work with. Highly recommend!

Summers Abroad

Simon joined us on our first event of the year ‘Winter Wonderland’ (that should have been our last event of last year - stupid covid!)

It was such a pleasure hosting him on another event. He always fits in really well with the group and is really easy to talk to! It was a fabulous day with lots of laughs and it was really nice to catch up with Simon :)

Happily recommended and hope to host him again soon!

I have worked with Simon many times and we got together for a half day shoot at my home and local park. It was so nice to catch up with Simon since our last shoot together. Simon always has a plan or approach to a shoot which is great to work from, but he is also very creative and happy to flow on the day.

Highly recommended

I had the best time shooting with Simon, and from the BOC I think his images will be some of my best work!

We shot together at Paul's Manor House Event, I'm so glad I got to shoot with Simon, he was brilliant to work with.

Our first session was in a grand bedroom with the most beautiful windows and luxurious bed.

Simons lighting was superb, made me feel glamorous and glowy. This was perfect for the boudoir set and really set the mood. He gave great direction and had some really great ideas too (even demonstrating some posing - Simon you are fabulous darling!)

We moved onto the bed, capturing some playful concealed nude images. This was a lot of fun and again Simon gives great direction and the images were looking fabulous! He often showed me the back of the camera which I really appreciate, all of the above combined with excellent communication, we were able to collaborate on such an enjoyable level and it was just a really productive shoot.

Once Simon is happy he's got an image he can use we will move onto something else which keeps the shoot interesting, I was not bored for a single second. Simon allowed me to pitch in on some ideas, which made me feel great when he was on board with the denim set. I'm really exited to see those ones! Simon's quick thinking and creative mind allowed for us to use the biggest reflector ever!

The last set in the room in front of the art piece, at first I didn't like it and felt it was distracting, but Simon made it work. He's brilliant!

After a break we moved downstairs to one of the lounges. Simon was open to outfit changes and together we decided on some outfits that would work for the room. Just wow, Simon has such a good eye for composition and it was awesome that we agreed on everything! I love working with someone where you're both on the same page and the shoot just flows. It was possibly my most productive shoot ever and I'm just so so happy that I had the opportunity to attend such an amazing event and work with someone as professional as Simon.

We shot in front of these large floor-to-ceiling doors. For this set Simon had picked out my suit and paired it with a corset, it looked so cool! I felt fabulous and very Vogue :D Like we were shooting for a magazine!

I'm sorry to waffle on, I just loved this shoot so much. When we ran out of time, Simon was packing up, I noticed the beautiful light coming through the glass doors. We did a very quick last set and some art nude just outside and they were probably my favourite images from the day.

Thank so sooo so much Simon, for one of my favourite ever shoots! I hope we can work together again

I 1000000% HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIMON!

Summers Abroad

Simon joined us on our B.E.A.C.H event. It was our creative collection event of the summer so we had multiple themes all under one roof; Sci-Fi, 70’s, Copa Cabana, Arabian Nights, Venice Beach and Movie Night.

Simon came along to an afternoon and a morning slot on different days to shoot with the variety of models available and it was lovely hosting him on another event after 2 years since the last!

We can happily recommend Simon and hope to host him again in future :)

Rachelle Summers

Had a fab shoot with Simon on my recent tour of London!

It's always a pleasure catching up with him, and we always produce some lovely images on our shoot together.

Simon was also incredibly kind in offering me and Mr Summers lots of advice on lighting equipment and some travel bloggers that have came in super handy for our upcoming trip to Japan too :D

A lovely shoot all round and great company too! Happily recommended by me :D

Shoot number three for Simon and myself but this time in a studio during my recent tour.

Simon has some great ideas and these were fun to work through.

Thank-you for another great shoot! :D

I had the most amazing shoot with Simon last week at Paul’s studio Manor House event :) and what a pleasure it was to work with Simon.

I was impressed at the amount of equipment he had, very professional photographer. Thoroughly enjoyed working with him and we got some cracking shots from what I could see from the back of the camera :)

Simon - Thank you for making my first experience at the Manor House so enjoyable, I hope you’re happy with the images.

Hope to work with you again sometime

Had the groovy pleasure of shooting with Simon at Rachelle Summer’s Stepford Wives event at The Hacienda in London along with Nicole Rayner :)

Simon arrived early and enthusiastic for the awesome day ahead, filled with a tremendous amount of colour, props, outrageous outfits, and crazy sets. Simon was so easy to work with, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun, super chatty and friendly as well throughout the day :D

I would happily work with Simon again anytime and hope to in the future, easily recommended!.

Thank you for coming to our simply mad event,

Scarlett

Shot with Simon again at the beach in Covehithe. Simon kindly picked me up, kept me warm and took some stellar shots.

Highly recommended!

Rachelle Summers

It had been quite a while since I got to work with Simon, so was chuffed when he decided to book on to my 'Stepford Wives' event :D

Unfortunately Simon ran into a string of bad luck which led him to be late to the shoot, but he didn't turn up in a bad mood like some would. He took it in his stride, got himself set up and got cracking with creating some wonderful images! It's a real shame he didn't get to fully enjoy the full 3 hours but it was lovely catching up with him nether the less and I hope we don't leave it quite so long next time :)

Happily Recommended!

This was my second shoot with Simon but this time at a different location for us both.

Simon arrived very well prepared with a huge amount of equipment which was used around the location.

We worked through many sets during our six hours and achieved some great shots.

Recommended! :D

I had a wonderful shoot with Simon, we did a mix of indoor and outdoor shooting, I got to meet all his wonderful cats and dogs (I LOVE animals, don't you?) and got to cuddle them a bit before going out to a beautiful location not too far away, where we were lucky to get a mix of sunlight and cloud coverage, and some wonderful photos between the different sets. The last couple minutes we got slightly rained on but it proved to be a memorable experience and I had lots of fun outrunning the bit of rain :D

Wonderful work, great personality, very respectful, and overall a great shoot :) Hope to do it again some time :)
