I really enjoyed shooting with John.

communication was excellent before & during the shoot & I felt completely at ease in his presence.

He is friendly and professional with a great sense of humour.

I feel we had a very productive shoot and produced some stunning image's, time just flew by.

He was patient and let me try some new poses to see if they work for me but also had load's of idea's himself.

Highly recommend and hope to work with him again soon.

I had my first shoot with John on Thursday and it was a pleasure working with him. John is really interesting to talk to and the time flew by. It was also the first time that I've worked with somebody using a film camera, and John very kindly explained how it worked. His pre-shoot comms were excellent and so was his direction on shoot. Very highly recommended!

Yet another shoot with John, this time with Kayleigh Lush at the new Upper mills studio. A very lovely person John is to work with, happy to take advice from his models and try new ideas. Also an amazing photographer and easy to work with and comes very highly recommended!

I worked with John for the second time this time in a studio in London, it was arranged fairly last minute as his original model was unwell. The studio we worked in was lovely and we got some really great images! John is lovely to work with, very easygoing and relaxed. He puts you at ease and is happy to listen to the models ideas as well as having plenty of his own and brings plenty of examples.

John is professional, polite and respectful at all times! We had plenty conversation during the shoot and laughs! I really love the images I saw on the camera they were beautiful! I really enjoy working with John and really hope we can work together again in 2015!! John comes highly recommended by me!

Excellent comms before the shoot and the shoot it's self went brilliantly! John is a person I felt comfortable with, great company and was proffesional through out. He came with great ideas but was open to listen to mine to.

I look forward to shooting with him again and would highly recommend him to all!

I had my first shoot with John last Monday, He was highly professional and made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the word go.

Our pre communications were fantastic and the shoot went wonderfully. We shot for 3 hours at i spy studio where we tried out various poses, he gave good direction and knew what he wanted to achieve from the shoot. John has a keen eye for light and and expression in images which drew me to his work.

It was a real privilege to work with someone who is inspiring and creative.

I would highly recommend John and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again.

Thank you John x

I had a wonderful shoot with John at I-Spy studio, we shot a genre that I truly love and had a lot of fun creating shapes, in beautifully set up scenes.....

He is a true professional, with an eye for beauty & exquisite lighting which he captures so effortlessly - John is also a wonderful host, bringing jaffa cakes, lovely conversation and vast knowledge to the shoot!

I do hope to work with him again, expect a relaxed & genuinely amazing time - John comes most recommended, a fantastic tog=)

I had an absolutely lovely afternoon shooting with John a few weeks ago. We did some lovely art nude shots and some dancing, in beautiful natural light and I think the images are wonderful. John is polite, friendly, and considerate. Not only that but he is a lovely person, a joy to converse with and spend time with. Really enjoyed working with John, and hope we can do so again one day! Highly recommended x

I worked with John a few days ago at his fantastic lighting and photography workshop in Gloucester where I was the model for the evening. I was extremely well look after and althugh naturally nervous at the start with 15 students to work with- John made me feel very welcome and at ease and I had a great time :) It was also a very good experience for me to work with a larger crowd :)

The three hours flew by, the students were very respectful,polite and the evening was perfectly organised with time for refreshments and changes. It was great to catch up and I really hope the students were happy with the results. John is a lovely gentleman, an excellent communicator and organiser and highly recommended to all.

I hope we work together again soon! Helen x

John and I were in contact for some time; eagerly looking for that opportunity to work together on some beautiful nude styles. Then the perfect arrangement arose when he visited Yorkshire - I cannot stress enough how simply outstanding the quality of the shoot was. Well worth the wait by any stretch of the imagination. Any model that is due to shoot with him should anticipate a booking that is crammed with enjoyable creativity, and superb etiquette making John the best company you could ask for.

In the beginning, communications were impeccable with details covered clearly an organisation that has to be deemed award winning. I could tell throughout the pre-shoot discussions that John would boast a spectacular talent for framing stunning curves and lines of the body, in fact his specialist eye for capturing the figure in all it's glory is to be noted as one of the sharpest. Props that worked their way into shot were put into excellent use by johns ability to compose what he was looking for by means of angles and lighting.

He is a gentleman with a superb sense of humour - If we weren't shooting I could easily chat to him for hours on end. John shows the best levels of respect for his models and I cannot speak highly enough of him, my recommendation of John is to be interpreted as very high indeed! :)

I had my second shoot with Jon a few weeks ago and its safe to say it was a blast! Even better than our first shoot together :)

Jon's pre shoot communications were perfect again, he arrived on time and it was a fun relaxed shoot!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the book come together and working with Jon again :)

I had the pleasure of working with John today after many months of great pre shoot communications and planning.

John was relaxed and professional, and an all round great person. John was great to talk to and was very friendly. I'm really glad we worked together and I'm so pleased with what I saw on the back of the camera.

I would recommend John to all levels of models and other professionals in this industry!

I look forward to our next shoot :)

I had my first shoot with John yesterday. He picked me up from the station and was very friendly and easy to work with. John knew what he wanted from the shoot and gave good direction with poses. I'm looking forward to shooting with John again and I highly recommend working with him. :)

Had a brilliant shoot with John yesterday at i-spy studio in Gloucester, he is very welcoming and chatty, makes you feel very comfortable and easy going. Knows exactly what poses he wants to achieve etc. very highly recommended and can't wait to work with again.

Had a lovely shoot with John the other week. He is a sweet and engaging individual who shows real passion for his work. John ensured I was relaxed and comfortable throughout our shoot and was happy to chat about a whole plethora of things from his beautiful camera and it's workings to the pros and cons of the rather beautifully built furniture in the studio. The quality of Johns work speaks for itself through his portfolio and I love the images I have seen from our shoot.

I would recommend John to all models of all experience levels.

Thank you for a lovely time sweetheart.

What a brill shoot, two hours simply flew by. Having worked with John before is was a breeze the second time around; he knows what he's after in an image, gives good direction and is super easy to pose around. I had an ace time and can't wait for our next one. Thanks again John and hopefully see you soon,
