Simon arranged an amazing shoot abroad to Majorca after responding to my casting call for a beach shoot. His communications were excellent and he was brilliant at arranging everything, including the flights, accommodation, car hire and places to shoot. His creativity and ideas are so inspiring and he created some beautiful photos in some really stunning locations. He is polite and attentive and easy to talk to. He kindly offered to shoot my fashion designs to help me promote them :)

I would 100% recommend Simon. One of the best shoots I've had!

Had a really lovely shoot with Simon at the Wales weekend. I worked alongside Roseanne during this shoot who was also a stunning model.

He was a real pleasure to work with, full of ideas and great with lighting.

I would highly recommend him :-)

I shot with Simon at Paul-Studio event in Wales, shooting around the lovely location and in the mansion too.

I had a great shoot, starting off as a bride which was my first time shooting this so lots of fun!! Then we did art nudes, Simon has great lighting and creates stunning images.

Thanks for an enjoyable shoot,

It was a total pleasure to work with Simon on the Wales weekend. He was very organized and had great ideas, and props planned, which meant that we could get a lovely variety of sets done. Thankyou also to Alex, Simon fixed it with Alex to lend us some of his latex, it was really enjoyable to shoot in such gorgeous things! The photos looked excellent on the camera, because Simon really worked with the light and knows what he's done. A total quality production, and thankyou so much for your offer of help with transport too. Definitely recommended!

Had the pleasure of working with Simon in Cheshire at Studio de Lumiere. He arrived very prepared with lots of wardrobe and accessories. Had a great time working with him and will gladly recommend him to all.

I have worked with Simon many times and I see something different every time. He is always prepared and organised with lighting, props, outfits and ideas. He has a good sense of humour and is friendly and easy to shoot with. A great photographer! I look forward to many more shoots in the near future. x

I have had two very successful and creative shoots with Simon during Paul's studio events (one in Wales and one at the Manor house) both 1-2-1 sessions.

Simon has taken some brilliant images on both shoots- from epic landscape nudes (with me precariously balancing on a fallen tree in gale force winds to me dancing around the Manor garden in POURING rain and lightening!)

I have really enjoyed both shoots and I hope to see the images go onto Simon's PP portfolio one day ;)

I also hope to work with Simon again one day for more wacky ideas! :)

I had another fantastic shooting with Simon.

This time we created lovely images in outdoor location.

He's a creative photographer with special skills in portraits.

I felt very comfortable as usual and I had fun.

I would recommend Simon to every model who loves art and wants to do experimental work.

Hope to work with him again next time in UK.

all best,

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Simon on my recent tour of London and Kent, with Tim's Cottage as our venue.

Never have I seen a photographer come so well prepared and organised, he knew exactly the type of images he wanted to produce and we also had some fun playing around with different sorts of lighting I know we managed to produce some really different images with my varied selection of instruments.

Simon was really easy to get along with, polite, professional and our four hour shoot just flew by.

More than happy to recommend Simon and look forward to seeing some of the work we produced.

Thank you for a really enjoyable shoot .

I had great time working with Simon at Tim's cottage on my tour to Kent today!

Simon was on time, well organized, with professional attitude, great communication, clear and creative ideas, respectful at all the time, easy and pleasant to work with and to talk with. He has a lovely personality to match as well, which makes shooting time really enjoyable. The best thing - he lets models be themselves and creates fantastic comfortable atmosphere to be around, which obviously helps to achieve the best photographic results! Time just flew by, absolutely enjoyable shoot! Highly recommended to all models to work with!

Thank you - Tina Kay. xxx

I invited Simon to come to Spain with me for 5 days. We stayed in my parents villa, which we used as a base and shot on location. We did some fashion images, bridal, glamour and art nude over the 5 days. Simon is such a pleasure to work with. He is so easy to get along with and to work with. He produces high quality images which I cannot wait to show off on my portfolio and website :) Simon is a virgo like me, so were both laid back and know exactly what we want....luckily, the images we wanted to achieve were the same!! ;)

I would highly recommend to all models of all levels of experience. If you are new to modelling, Simon will really help you to boost your confidence, guide you into the poses required for the levels of modelling you would like to take. For the more experienced, Simon will be one of the nicest photographers you will work with and will produce high standard images which will benefit your portfolio.

He also has a fully equipped home studio which I must shoot at one day :)

Keep up the good work lovely!

Highly recommended!!

Had a great shoot with Simon on Sunday after he replied to one of my casting calls on PurplePort. Communication before the shoot was first class, and he gave me the creative freedom for styling and makeup and let me run with my ideas whilst incorporating his own ideas into our shooting schedule.

Simon clearly knows a lot about lighting and had a lot of kit which was used to its potential on the day. He can change easily from a studio to location effortlessly with great results.

Simon is a lovely genuine guy and would definitely recommend him.

I worked with Jonathan at Prp studios on Sunday 18th May.

Really enjoyed the group shoot .

Jonathan is able to imagine and visualise an image and direct me to create exactly what he wants, he has a very good eye for detail, and produced some great shots!

Friendly, a good sense of humour and easy to get along with.

Looking forward to seeing some more images, and hopefully working with Jonathan again soon.

100% Recommend !

Thank you

Marie 😊

I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday shooting with Simon at The Manour House event ran by Paul's studio. We started with some art nude and he knew exactly what he wanted and how to achieve it. The second half of our session was so different to what you'd expect at a location we were in but the idea was amazing and it really worked well, I'm super excited to see the results.. I had fun through the whole of the shoot. Simon is a real joy to work with, professional, knows how to direct a model and keeps things exciting. I most defiantly highly recommend him!

I had my first shoot with Simon yesterday at Prpstudios in Rayleigh. I must say how fun it was to work with him as he's full of really unique yet amazing ideas. We created some images that were completely different to what I already have in my portfolio and I am so pleased with with the results so far.

I'd definitely recommend him to any model out there who wants really good quality images for their portfolio and i definitely can't wait to work with him again some time!

Had a great shoot with Simon today in a super cool studio in London :) ... Simon is a great guy good fun to work with an has really cool ideas for shooting. The photos looked really cool looking forward to seeing the results would definitely work with him again!

I worked with Simon for the first time alongside my model friend BexWhite and had a very enjoyable shoot! Simon arrived very well prepared with lots of ideas but also was open to listen to our ideas.

Really professional, respectful, friendly and a great photographer! I really enjoyed working with Simon and would most definitely work with him again! Highly recommended by me indeed :)

BexWhite

Where do I begin... I just love working with Simon! Simon came to my home to shoot with myself and Lottie21 during our weekend event. It was so good to see Simon and to shoot with him, having not done so since last winter. Simon is really passionate about his photography, and puts a lot of thought and care into the images he produces. Simon came to the shoot full of ideas but was also happy to allow Lottie and I to have some input and to share our ideas, which is something we both love to do.

Simon remains one of my favourite photographers to shoot with. He is completely respectful and professional in his approach, and is also just simply lovely to be around. It was such a lovely shoot, and I only hope that another year does not pass before we shoot together again. Thank you Simon for a brilliant morning :)

Have had the pleasure of working with Simon a couple of times, the latest being on my East Anglia Tour in December 2013.

Simon is a really nice guy, with some great ideas and plenty of technical knowledge to go with it.

He was really helpful in his pre-shoot communications and arrived with loads of great kit to create some beautiful images. Simon works well with his models showing consideration and kindness as well as interest in their ideas. He is also lots of fun, with a great sense of humour, and we had a good laugh throughout.

I really enjoyed the shoot and look forward to working with Simon again in the future.

Highly recommended to all,

Lizzie xx
