Had a very brief shoot with Gary at Wortley Top Forge today and very glad I did!

He came very well prepared with a boot full of outfits of all shapes and sizes and he showed examples of and explained his style.

He gave great direction and was great to communicate with whilst shooting and was very respectful and courteous when it came to the dress gaping over my chest (unavoidable due to the style)

Hope we get to shoot together again soon and would definitely recommend

I had the pleasure of meeting Gary yesterday at his studio open event and what a pleasure it was! Communication from the start was clear giving me a full breakdown of the event so I knew what to expect when I arrived. Gary was so welcoming, kind a pleasant to chat to. Giving me a full tour of the studio, going above and beyond making me feel at ease.

I shot with Gary for a small amount of time but we captured some fabulous images! It is clear that Gary is a professional in what he does. He gives clear direction, works with models and photographers extremely well.

If you get the chance to work with Gary, take it! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Gary

Where do I start with Gary!!! Amazing 📸. So much so, I've had multiple shoots with him this year already. Gary has always been very professional and respectful of my levels and age appropriate images. He constantly and positively pushes me to get some fantastic creative images. I've definitely become a better model with Gary's help and crazy ideas 🤣. Every shoot is a laugh as well as a workout! The studio is well equipped with everything needed, along with various outfits and props to use. I have no hesitation recommending Gary and look forward to creating so many more images with him.

Working with Gary has been an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, the entire experience has been fantastic. Such a professional , creative and talented photographer he is ! His ability to make me feel at ease in front of the camera and capture my personality in the photos was remarkable. Even though i warned him that i might act weird at times , he managed all of them very well, appreciate that you understand your model very well. And yes i could do the shoot all day with him cause hes got lots of interesting outfits in his studio and couldnt stop myself from trying most of them. Thank you for your exceptional work, and I look forward to many more photography sessions with you in the future. Highly recommended !!!

Met Gary yesterday at a little group shoot at the Tankspace!

Such a lovely guy, full of interesting, explorative and brave ideas. He brought something unusual to the table and it's worked so well! I'm really happy it was him that I got to work with because what I've seen at the back of the camera was screaming incredible :)

Absolutely recommend working with Gary.

Thank you for having me in front of your lens,

Gary took me along to my first group shoot. I arrived feeling completely out of my comfort zone and full of nerves. After giving me a good pep talk and quick warm up shoot I went on my way feeling incredibly confident and the day has turned out some incredible results. I am already eager for my next one thanks to Gary!

Well what can I say about Gary other than he’s absolutely awesome! I have known Gary for a good 10 years now and shot with him multiple times (infact Gary kick started my modelling career off!) he’s fun and laid back, will never push you to do anything you don’t want to do and is always brimming with ideas and will try anything to get the shot you want. Highly recommended

Was an absolute pleasure and a privilege to team up with Gary. We managed to pull something cool off together, at pretty short notice. Gary was chatty and polite, which made me feel at ease. He was very accommodating e.g. offering to pick me up and bringing a pop up tent to change in. He arrived on time and all communications were great. His expertise and passion come across. I love his vision to create something different and believe we understood each other well, I shall look forward to working together again. Would recommend.

Had a shoot with Gary on Sunday it was a great day ! He had lots of ideas and was very friendly and the day just flew by . I would highly recommend working with him if you haven’t already

Wow! What an amazing photographer and service provided, Gary picked me and my partner up from the train station right on time and drove us to his shared studio. Upon arrival we were made drinks and made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable

Pix photography is great with his camera, has a real eye for an amazing shot and certainly delivers on the post processing. My shoot with Gary was refreshing and a great experience for me, I would absolutely love to shoot again if he would have me.

Absolutely recommend to any model new or experienced, old or young. Gary is your man! Thank you so much.

Am I aloud to just write Gary is awesome?!

No?… ah well then let me elaborate! Gary is one of those creatives that is thoughtful and kind as well as professional and talented. He’s always happy to

Help assist on my shoots and has done on so many occasions to which I’m truly grateful. Recently Gary came and shot with me and Lottie on a bridal editorial I had put together and he took plenty of amazing shots! He also was more than happy to make sure we were safely collected and dropped off at home, made sure we were well looked after throughout the whole time shooting (which is a given with Gary) AND he even jumped on board helping me with bts for my social media which was a great help.

Gary is always full of ideas, not just for shots but he’s literally bursting at the seams with stunning creative concepts that any model would be proud to have in their portfolios! Gary is now even rivalling me on the size of his model wardrobe! He literally goes that extra mile for the attention to detail for that perfect shot.

If you haven’t had chance to work with Gary yet you need to!

Always highly recommended by little old me and there will be many more shoots I’m happy to collaborate on with Gary!

Get booked in!

Best wishes

I absolutely loved the shoot yesterday!

Super professional and had so many quirky ideas, we got so many amazing, interesting shots! Was good to get the creative juices flowing, we ended up with so many ideas we didn't want to stop shooting!

Really respectful of my levels, I didn't feel any pressure at all which made me super comfortable and confident in front of the camera!

Would definitely recommend, fully enjoyed every aspect of the shoot and can't wait to work together again!

It was so great to work with Gary remotely again for the 2nd time.

We had a clear and concise plan to shoot shadow bodyscapes, a challenge I was so keen to make work despite it being a remote shoot.

Equipped with knowledge and advice from Gary I got the props and used my imagination to create what we had hoped!

Gary communicated so well and by using a parasol and taking clear direction we really did achieve intricate shadow patterns and I am so proud of these images.

Thank you again Gary for connecting and creating with me. Sadie

So pleased I applied for Gary's remote shoot casting call! He is a total gent and has the patience of a saint! We had obstacles that we didn't let stop us! He is spontaneous and adaptive with creativity, as I am so that worked well. We shot anonymous boudior styles that worked brilliantly! I Highly recommend Gary! His creative eye and direction was paramount to making a remote shoot work as successfully as ours did. We will be shooting again as more ideas flow between us both!

Had a great shoot with Gary just before Christmas 2019. I shot at the studio in HD9 which wasnt too far from me which was a bonus.

Gary is awesome to work with and has some brilliant ideas. He made me feel at ease and also good sense of humour :-)

Would definitely work with this photographer again and highly recommend

Too excited for words... but here we go...

Thank goodness Gary put up a casting with a fabulous idea to remote shoot. Without knowing exactly how this was possible, I jumped at the chance and applied. Thank you, thank you to Gary for accepting.

On the day of the shoot, Gary was completely prepared for handling the software required to make it work. Obviously tech-savvy, able to troubleshoot and certainly patient. I absolutely loved the shoot because Gary was directing well, explained his ideas, continually aimed to improve things as best we could given the circumstances, he is experienced with lighting, has a vision for what he wants to achieve and happy trying different things. It was a new challenge for both of us but Gary was totally easy to work with and keen to get good results. I think, we smashed it. I'm so happy with the images and I would highly recommend working with Gary whether remotely or face to face you'll have a great shoot and fab pics.

Thanks for a fun day :)

Wow still buzzing after the photoshoot yesterday! I have been following Gary's work for ages, wanting to work together for longer than a while. I just love his style, dramatic look, lighting and limitless creativeness. He clearly has a passion for photography and lots of ideas - plus he has skills to make them work! Lovely, respectful gentleman and a talented professional. Awesome communication, understanding and exchange of ideas - loved it! We could stay in the studio for long hours...but someone has to edit photos lol. I am definitely working with him again- so should you!

Gary is absolutely amazing!!

So easy to get along with and makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. His directions are clear and really helpful.

The studio set up was great and we did loads of different styles from portraits to body scape and they all turned out amazing!!

I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I can’t wait to work with him again in the future!!

Thanks so much for an amazing shoot!

Without a doubt the best studio shoot experience I have had (including my previous modelling incarnation haha!)

Undaunted by my inability to travel light, and with excellent pre-shoot communication, Gary has arrived at the studio ahead of time to ensure warm and comfortable ....this level of thoughtfulness and consideration set the tone for the whole shoot, which was fantastic.

Gary is creative, professional, happy to go with ideas and offer others and equally when it comes to direction - although we seemed to be on the same page in this sense so worked well.

Very respectful but personable, it made the shoot a relaxed and enjoyable time and a fantastic creative outlet.

The images we reviewed I am extremely proud of and look forward to seeing which he selects!

I would definitely recommend Gary without hesitation

Gary encouraged me to try out modelling for a shoot at his studio after we met at a wedding. I had always been interested to get in front of a camera and Gary was the perfect person to ease me into it. I arrived at the shoot with very little knowledge and even less of an idea of how I expected the shoot to turn out.

The results absolutely blew my mind and I couldn’t wait to book my next shoot.

Gary is completely honest and if he doesn’t feel something works for you or his work he will let you know straight away. I’d highly recommend working with this fantastic photographer!
