Had my first shoot with John today. He made me feel comfortable from the minute I met him! John had an amazing eye for detail and lighting. Was such a good laugh today, and we created some bloody good pictures! He even turned up with a flask of tea, crisps and my favourite Jaffa cakes! Thank you so much for today. Can't wait to shoot again :)

I shot with Photowizard last week, and he was excellent throughout. He was very considerate about how cold it was out, and was thoroughly professional throughout. That said he was very friendly, and good to chat to on the way to/from the shoot location! I look forward to working with Photowizard again

I've shot with Jon numerous times, and I cannot remember if I ever left him a reference (I must have)

He is awesome. Funny, relaxing, easygoing, loaded with ideas and willing to try anything to get the right shot. He is very generous (he came to pick me up on the way to the shoot)

We shot latex and nude and some two girls shots with another lovely model and he was excellent at directing us both at the same time. I also sent him out to get coffee which he was more than happy to do. He is an absolutely great bloke, great photographer and I couldn't ask for more. I will continue to work with him and I suggest to any models thinking about it, please do!

This was my second time shooting with Jon as we previously met on a group shoot. We instantly clicked back then and got some fantastic rigging images so we decided to book a one on one shoot.

This time we decided to do a 50's pin up style at a hair salon and it was fantastic. Jon picked me up from my house, after driving nearly two hours to get down. He was instantly full of energy, positive and looking forward to the shoot ahead.

Jon has such an energy about him that really rubs off. He is passionate about photography, works well and does all he can to get the perfect image.

He is friendly, chatty and professional so I would definitely recommend him to others.

I have had a few images back from the shoot and they really are special, he is amazing at editing.

Thanks Jon!

Met Photowizard for an on location shoot. He is a very fun but professional guy who knew how to get the best out of every shot. We went to an abandoned army site that for some reason was not quite abandoned on this day lol. Nevertheless we still managed to get lots of photos done and had great fun doing so. Would recommend him for a nice relaxed photo shoot for anyone starting out and wanting to be put at ease x

I had my third ever shoot with Jon last week and he was a pleasure to be around. We met in Bristol City centre and he instantly put me at ease :) he is a very friendly and chatty man with a lovely personality! We wondered around Bristol taking lots of different shots which resulted in a vary wide variety of themed images which I really enjoyed. As I requested Jon gave me lots of direction and was incredibly helpful with telling me how to pose etc. I would highly recommend Jon if you want to have a fun shoot with great results - I'm very much looking forwards to seeing the final images :)

I met with Jon this week in Bath for a shoot and it was truly a lovely experience, I felt comfortable straight away and we chatted the whole way around the shoot. He was an absolute dream to work with and we got some lovely pictures. We had a lot of fun walking around finding cool locations to shoot, and he even put up with me smooching one of the Bath painted pigs :)

I would absolutely recommend Jon as a caring, considerate and fun person to work with. If you are looking for someone that will put you completely at ease and get some great pictures with at the same time then look no further.

Would definitely recommend this lovely, bubbly, creative and passionate man! Pre comms were fabulous with lots of preplanning on various locations throughout Surrey and Hampshire. Extremely well organised, and made our day go off without a hitch!

From the moment we started shooting we really clicked, between his brilliant directions and allowances for all my clambering around location for a good pose, we achieved some beautiful work. The first location was so good, we could have shoot there forever. We went off to our next location, and I got to see a lot (and learn a lot) about location lighting, and the challenges an environment can provide, but Jon was fantastic at working with the waning light to get some gorgeous arty shadows with my poses.

I'd recommend working with Jon (the firecracker) any time, and look forward to doing so again :-)

I was lucky enough to work with Jon this weekend on a group collaboration shoot, organised by Portrait X.

Jon is a really friendly, funny guy who gives great direction in order to create fantastic imagery and, from the shots I've seen so far from our shoot, he was definitely very successful on this occasion!

I very much hope to work with Jon again in the future, either in a group or one-on-one setting as it really was a pleasure to meet and collaborate with him.

Recommended to any model!

What can I say, before we even met I knew it would be a great shoot. communication was great and I was looking forward to the day. From the moment Jon arrived he had me at ease chatting away as we got ready to shoot. An absolute gent from start to finish, he checked on me regularly to ensure I was comfortable and enjoying the shoot. He brought a wealth of equipment and multiple lights which really impressed me. we worked through several different poses and styles from happy bride to jilted at the alter. Not phased by the arrival of the church warden we carried on shooting and got some wonderful natural light shots outside. The edits are beautiful. Highly recommended.

Yay - i got to work with Jon again!

This time it was a slot in SCSG's massive group shoot day.

John was great fun, he makes you laugh so much, is respectful and super friendly. Most of all he produces some fantastic images!

I can wait to see the results from this, our slot together was amazing!

Highly Recommended - again!

I shot with this wonderful man again! He is very professional, considerate, on the ball and knows what he wants to achieve. He will work with you, ensuring you're comfortable, even in the most unforgiving environments (tied upside down like I was, for example)

He's a great photographer, great guy and I would love to work with him again!

Photowizard was really friendly and easy going. Very chatty which puts you at ease and breaks the ice easily. Easy going and willing to try different things and go with your ideas as well as throwing his own ideas in - not afraid to experiment, which I think is part of what makes a good photographer. Photowizard aims to get the best of each shot as a unique image - his photos don't all look the same. He's determined to get a good shot and doesn't give up easily till he's got it!

Photos looked great from what I saw and can't wait to see them! :)

I did my first shoot with Jon today, pre communications where fab! Easy to get along with and arrange. Arrived on time and was like we have known each other for some time! Full of energy and just a joy to shoot with/be around. Jon was open to all suggestions and had lots of ideas for himself which was great to see, helped with corrections with poses, I was shown a few back of the camera shots and they looked great! I fully enjoyed today's shoot it was very relaxed and laid back, never at any point did I feel uncomfortable. I would be more then happy to work with Jon again in the future! Thankyou for today! Xx

Wow i finally got to shoot with John at the Chiddinglye Estate in West Hoathly, what a personality :)

He was just brilliant to be around, so funny he made me laugh all the time. We had a fabulous shoot utilising bridges and ruins, i can't wait to see the results!

I would definitely work with John again - lovely man.

Highly recommended :) x

Had an absolutely fabulous shoot with Jon today, great pre-shoot communications and the shoot itself was laid back and I know already that we've got some amazing images.

What I really appreciated was that he was happy to show me the images as we were shooting (important on a trade shoot) and was happy to chat about cameras and photography (I'm also a photographer).

The whole shoot was a delight and I would highly recommend!

Violent May

I had a shoot with John the other day and it awesome!

Really chatty friendly guy who put me at ease. And then it was an awesome shoot!

Super professional and gives guidance when needed, also has awesome super cool equipment to bring to shoot. Totally recommend :)

Had a wonderful shoot with Jon the other day in a gorgeous cemetery in Bristol. He is a very laid back photographer but also very determined as he knew exactly what he wanted to get out of our shoot.

Its a big shame we couldn't shoot for longer but i think the photos we have are stunning all the same.

Highly recommended and looking forward to working with him again soon (hopefully next time for longer!)

Thanks Jon
