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!

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 :)

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

I had the great pleasure off shooting with Simon. Pre shoot communications were excellent.

Simon and i agreed before shoot what type off shoot we were going to create.

We used both our ideas and created some fantastic images.

What i liked about Simon was the fact that he knew exactly what he wanted out off the shoot.

I loved the lighting he used which was like a spot light. He moved it up and down so that the lighting focused on certain parts off my body. Very very affective. I haven't shot with that sort off lighting. The results were great.

We used quite a few props which we both agreed worked well with me.

I whole heartedly recommend Simon.

As per usual i finished the shoot with a great finale.

Simon was very happy with that.

Hope to shoot with him again in the future

Thank you so much for creating some wonderful set off images. Can't wait to see the edited images.

I had worked with Simon at a photoshoot in Wales a year or so ago but yesterday we got the chance to work together again and had so much fun! We shot some lovely fashion and nude images in a glamorous manor house and used some lovely outdoors locations too. Simon is full of ideas, creative, enthusiastic and an awesome photographer to work with. I would highly recommend him to models and I'm really looking forward to our next shoot!

I had my second shoot with Simon a few weeks ago at a run down barn. Simon had some fantastic ideas and knows exactly what he wants from the shoot. We did some high fashion against the graffiti background and a mixture of glamour and art nude. Simon is so much fun to work with and I love working with him. Highly recommended. xx

Penny Brooks

Had a great shoot with Simon yesterday down by the canal in Chelmsford. A fantastic backdrop and a truly professional photographer. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him and I believe together we created some really lovely images. I couldn't recommend working with Simon highly enough and look forward to working with him again in the future.

I had a shoot with Simon earlier in the week to test run his new studio, which was spacious and comfortable! Simon was very professional and laid back and easy to work with, and I even got to model some of his wife's lovely handmade jewellery!

Simon responded to a short notice casting I posted for a shoot, and I can honestly say that he is a pleasure to work with. His comms prior to the were excellent. We went through a few ideas that he was wanting to try and he made me feel at ease. During the shoot he made sure that I felt comfortable and allowed me to see the results, which is always helpful. He has a keen eye for detail, some excellent creative ideas and is a lovely bloke to boot. I would highly recommend working with Simon and look forward to working with him again.

Worked with Simon today for the first time, He was really relaxed and he was a very nice man and very easy to talk to and get along with are 2 hour shoot flew by. Simon knew upfront that i had a male chaperon and he was fine with this as chaperon was not even in the same room. Very good communication before shoot i asked him how he wanted hair and make up and what outfits he wanted so i was already for when he arrived. I really hope to work with Simon again x

Had a great first shoot with Simon today at a local studio. Pre shoot comms were great, from the minute I met Simon I felt comfortable and found him very easy to chat with. He had great ideas for the shoot and allowed me to view the pictures as we were going so I knew what we were achieving. Overall a great shoot and brilliant photographer.

Highly recommended and hope to work with again.
