Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Simon for the first time.

Simon booked to work with me on my Christmas portfolio builder event at Talliston House, co-hosted by Helen Diaz. It was truly a delight working with this talented photographer.

Simon is a lovely man who is very friendly, professional and fun to work with. He has a great sense of humour and made the shoot very enjoyable.

His lighting set ups are stunning and he executes each idea quickly and efficiently, producing stunning results!

Highly recommended and I would love to work with Simon again!

Thanks for a great shoot, Valis x

I worked at the amazing Talliston House again in December, on one of my Christmas events co-run by the sensational Valis Volkova!

Simon was one of the 4 photographers that booked onto the Talliston Christmas event- and we had such a lovely day! We had worked together previously a year or so ago, so it was lovely to catch up!

Simon is such a professional, respectful gent, who is full to the brim of super creative ideas! His lighting set ups are also fantastic and we achieved some truly stunning photographs together!

Simon is a a great team player, is fantastic at giving the model direction and aims to create high quality images which I really think is reflected in his portfolio. He also thinks outside of the box with angles and creates unique images as a result!

Thankyou so much Simon, I really hope we get the chance to work together again soon and look forward to seeing the results!

HIGHLY recommended to all, Helen x

Simon is a relaxed and experienced photographer. Communication prior to the shoot was good and clear. Shoot went flawless and since we did public art nude I found it important that Simon knew what he was doing and was very quick.

Besides public art nude shots we did a lot of other styles and Simon was full of ideas. I would recommend and work again with Simon :).

I had a wonderful shoot with Simon recently on one of "Paul's Wales Weekend' trips. Simon came up with plenty of ideas that we discussed before our shoot so on the day I knew exactly what to bring and expect. We used a variety of different locations within the grounds of the place we were staying at and each one gave a totally different feel to the photographs we created! Simon is a very good photographer and it showed even on the back of the camera (which made me feel wonderful about what we were creating!)

He also brought along a portable flash and used this very effectively as the bright sunlight could have been very challenging, but he knew exactly what he wanted to achieve and made everything super easy! Along with shooting glamour, nude and lingerie styles, Simon had also brought some rope and was happy for me to do some self bondage for a few sets, which added something very different to the shoot and we finished off inside the house where Simon set up a mini studio and we used images already captured to create some weird and wonderful artwork!

I had loads of fun working with Simon, he made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and I highly recommend him (and would love to work with him again!)

Thank you!

Had a blast shooting for the second time with this lovely character at a recently modelling trip in Wales. Simon is halerious and knows how to make the shoot fun which is just what I needed at the end of a tiring day. Not only that but I'm super impressed by his skill level and mindset towards photography. We shot some sets using gel lighting which was awesome

But also took it outside and did some interesting fashion shots; I would recommend Simon in a heartbeat and hope to work with him again soon :)

Had a great shoot on Sunday with Simon at Paul's wales event. Simon was lovely to work with and I felt comfortable the whole time. He had loads of great ideas and was happy to take on my input. Together we made some beautiful images and polaroids. Can't wait to see the edits and work together again in the future, highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Simon for the first time as he attended mine and Ayla's duo day at The Hacienda. Ayla and Simon had shot previously so Ayla had told me about how fab Siomon was. He lived up to expectation! I thoroughly enjoyed posing for him as he brought some really fabulous ideas to the shoot!

Simon is clearly an artist as he works hard to make sure that his shots have a believability to them!

Simon has great technical abilities - he knows what the light is doing and is able to work quickly and efficiently! He doesn't take a silly number of shots - he works on a set until he is happy, which is my favourite way to work, as I find quality is always better than quantity. ]

I really enjoyed Simons ideas - they were fun and creative and so varied!! Ayla and I were challanged and asked to use different skills which is alway fun for a model!

The shots I saw on the back of the camera were lovely! I was very glad to be part of Simon's collection of fabulous images! I would love to work with Simon in the future. Reccomended by me

Ayla

I worked with the lovely Simon again at The Hacienda alongside Nicole Rayner. As usual Simon was on top form and even though it can be challenging working with two models he captured some fantastic images! For those who haven't worked with Simon, he is kind, chatty, quirky and has some amazing and crazy ideas which are a pleasure to try out! Thanks for a fab shoot Simon and hopefully see you soon :)

I shot with Simon on my recent tour where he very kindly picked me up from the train station and drove me to my next location when we were running late, a life-saver, thank-you!!

We shot at two different locations and Simon had brilliant ideas as to what kind of shots he wanted to achieve.

It was a lovely shoot with great company! Recommended!! :D

I got the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Simon and his mountain of a light at the weekend haha!

He booked me for the afternoon at Pauls Manor House event which was great, I always love doing the 1-2-1 sessions as it's so much more personal and relaxed and you can really collaborate together :)

From what I saw on the back of the camera - just wow! Some absolute blinders can't wait to see the finished results :D

Really can't recommend him enough, lovely guy, total pleasure to be in his company and look forward to next time we shoot together!

Worked with Simon on Saturday at his home studio which is well equipped for a shoot. Had fun with lighting and adding something a little different to my port. Simon is easy going and professional makes you feel really comfortable, he likes a challenge and has a great eye for what he wants to achieve from the images. Would love to work with him on location at some point too.

Highly recommended

Had my 1st shoot with Simon recently. He had a clear idea of what he needed to cover for his project and we shot a range of different styles. We also improvised a bit as I danced and leapt around while he tried to catch me in action. Great fun and a really easy person to get on with.

I had another awesome and inspiring shoot with Simon recently at Paul's manor house event. Simon is a great character, full of ideas and always brings lots of stunning dresses. It's nice working with Simon as he is great company, but is always focused on achieving the most beautiful images in the location. I am truly happy with what we achieved, with lots of laughs and a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks again for your time, and I'm sure I'll catch up with you again soon. Always a winner, 5 stars!
