I have had two fabulous shoots with John. He is chatty, friendly and very easy to get on with.

The first shoot at Spitfire Studios was very relaxed. I had lots of freedom to choose my poses and it was great fun. When John wanted a model at short notice in London I didn't hesitate to agree. On the second shoot John had a clear idea of what he wanted and gave good directions for each shot. Both shoots were very pleasurable. The organisation was uncomplicated and straightforward. Highly recommended.

What a lovely chap John is. Felt comfortable instantly. John has a 'playbook' to work from that helped me to understand the images we were aiming to create. Great use of the various props at the Old Chapel studio. This was my first shoot back after a lengthy break and I was delighted with the way the shoot went. A quick view of some of the shots in the camera has given me confidence that the finished and shared output will be something we can both be proud off. Working with John is highly recommended.

John is a lovely chap, we had communicated a few times prior to the day and he was always polite and responsive. John quickly put his models at ease and was a pleasure to have in the studio. We look forward to welcoming him back to the studio in the future.

He knows what he wants, he allows you to be yourself and bring new ideas.

All the communication before, during and after it was perfect. I just have nice words for him.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John in Chippenham during my SW tour.

John is an absolute delight to work with. Very creative, friendly, talented and a down to earth gentleman!

He came to the shoot prepared knowing exactly what he wanted, but he was happy to go with the flow too and allowed me to pose freely, which was nice. :-)

Etiquette and manners are impeccable! I'm sure we have some stunning results which I'm looking forward to seeing and I would very happily work with John again.

Highly recommended!!

Had a lovely shoot with samthedog last minute at a location model day. After talking about working together some time ago, it was lovely to finally be able to get to work together. We shot some beautiful art nudes, and I quickly learned that not only was samthedog very easy to pose for, he really had an eye for light and angles, and as a result from what I could see got some lovely results. Very nice guy and clearly a talented photographer. Hope to work together again soon.

It was my second time shooting with John, and it has just confirmed in my mind what a wonderful guy he is! I'd highly recommend him to any model. He is very respectful, considerate, has great attention to detail and gives brilliant direction- a true artist.

I enjoyed the shoot thoroughly, and I hope to shoot with him again some day.

I really enjoyed my shoot with John. He is a very professional man with a kind and gentle manner, who looked after me well and made me feel very much and immediately at ease. He helped to direct me with poses, but also gave me the opportunity to experiment with something different too. I love his approach and his way of working. He is a very talented photographer, whose work I very much admire, and I am so very pleased to have met and worked with him at last! It was well worth the super long train journey there! Thank you John! :)

Had the pleasure of working with this great photographer again at my studio day at New Upper Mills studio . This was a 3 hour slot the time just flew by. We done a great selection of images. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I hope I get the chance to work with John again at some point I came away from the 3 hours with John buzzing. Thanks again for taking up the 3 hour slot. Hope to see you again later in the year.

I had a brilliant shoot with John last week during my trip to Gloucester. We shot at the Matchbox studio and made the most of the natural light coming through the large windows.

John made me feel comfortable from the start and I enjoyed looking though his look book as he explained what he wanted to achieve during our shoot. He gave plenty of direction but also allowed me to move freely so we got through plenty of poses in our 3 hour shoot. I really enjoyed doing an art-nude set and know we've got some great shots.

He is very polite and respectful with lots of great stories, a real pleasure to work with and I would happily recommend him.

Thank you John, I look forward to working with you again.

I had a lovely shoot with John at the Matchbox Studio in Gloucester. He was really easy to gel with; he has some fantastic, creative ideas for poses. He is really good at communicating what he wants to achieve from the shoot which made my job so much easier! :) And together we were able to produce some really beautiful images.

I really enjoyed working with John and am very much looking forward to working with him again in the future.

John was a pleasure to work with & a total gentleman. The shoot was relaxed & comfortable with a good atmosphere, whilst John provided good direction & feedback where appropriate. We chatted throughout & that made the shoot go so quickly. He was polite, courteous & professional throughout.

Thank you John
