I recently had the pleasure of working with Philip on a shoot, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Philip’s communication leading up to the session was clear, thorough, and professional, which made the planning process effortless.

On the day of the shoot, Philip was not only punctual but also incredibly organized and welcoming. He created a comfortable and positive environment that allowed me to feel at ease and truly enjoy the process. His creativity and keen eye for detail shone through, and he provided excellent direction while also encouraging collaboration.

I highly recommend Philip to anyone looking for a talented, hardworking, and friendly photographer Thank you, Philip, for a fantastic experience !!

I am delighted I had the pleasure of working with Philip recently.

From the start, Philip displayed an exceptional level of professionalism. Not only is Philip a talented photographer, but he is also a wonderful person to be around. He graciously invited me to stay at his home, where he cooked a delicious dinner for us. This act of kindness reflects his character - welcoming, genuine, warm, and thoughtful.

Throughout our work together, I found him to be incredibly easy to work with and very respectful. He maintained open communication before, during and after the shoot. He created a safe and collaborative atmosphere that made the entire experience enjoyable. He’s studio is amazing! Full of beautiful fabrics and props.

I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future.

I definitely recommend Philip! Beautiful experience altogether and stunning results.

And just to add he has a beautiful dog Alfie who kept us company and helped with photoshoot. 😊

I had what I would call a divine shoot with Philip!

Philip welcomed me with the warmest of feelings and sharing artwork with me for inspiration to our shoot that was already very spiritual and symbolic.

When we were actually shooting, posing in his studio and in the sets that he carefully dresses with rich colours and fabrics, it felt very meditative for me as there is this wonderful sense of calm and thought into creating with Philip.

After the shoot I was still and still am in awe with having worked with Philip and the quality of his work and specially, the beauty of his soul which cleary came out during our wonderful conversations during and after our shoot.

I cannot wait to work with Philip again, I really hope we do so many more times!

Thank you so much Philip, you are special!

Something About Olive

I had a fantastic shoot with Philip during my trip to Dublin earlier this month. His communication beforehand was great and he was kind enough to offer for me to stay for dinner and to stay in their spare room if I needed as his studio is a few hours outside Dublin. He met me at the train station and was so friendly and chatty I knew it was going to be a great day. He has a lovely warm home studio that we worked out of, he had plenty of inspiration and props and we got a lot of beautiful shots. He and his wife were so hospitable and kind and it was really lovely to meet them both! I would highly recommend working with him and would be delighted to work with him again myself.

I had an amazing shoot with Philip in March, at his awesome little home studio - we started with a gothic moody vibe, with a cool spider web set that P has designed himself, did a wonderful few painterly sets, creating shapes with props, flowers, playing with light & shadow. So many beautiful sets!

Philip is a great human being, very respectful, chatty, kind, made sure I was watered, fed, coffeed, and warm enough, with heaters on before & during shoot -would highly recommend to all models.

Philip has been absolutely wonderful to work with, very professional, respectful, and kind, not to mention amazing at his craft. I was blown away by the results we achieved, he really knows how to bring his vision to life. He also was kind enough to provide snacks and even cooked a lovely meal (very important for someone with a ravenous appetite like myself :).

I would absolutely recommend him to any model, and I'm looking forward to our second shoot

Traveling through half of the country to shoot with Philip was so worthwhile. Philip is talented, engaging and so approachable. I felt so comfortable around him throughout the whole shoot. We created such amazing shots together combining both our interests, skills and creativity. Most of all, I felt I made a friend and am beyond grateful to have collaborated with such a gentleman. I look forward to seeing you soon in front of a lense or just to share a coffee. Highly recommended. 10/10, definitely don't miss out on an opportunity with Philip. Otherwise, you'll miss out on working with a unique photographer as well as meeting a beautiful soul. Thank you Philip once again.

I found Philip very professional,chatty and helpful.He brought along some snacks for us which was thoughtful of him.His communication was great both before and during the shoot.

It was our first time shooting together but hopefully it won't be our last and that we can arrange another shoot soon.I would recommend him as a photographer,a lovely guy.😊

Had a wonderful time with Philip shooting multiple emotive concepts. Great energy and vibe he managed to lift my mood after a full day of shooting with his warm, kind and super friendly manner.

As a photographer he knows what he wants and he gives direction that helps achieving the best results in a faster way. He is efficient and communicative.

Beside the professionalism, he shows so much care about the wellbeing of the model during the course of the shoot which is very important from a model point of view!

overall, an absolute pleasure to work with him and would love to shoot with him again in the future! highly recommended.

Finally had my shoot with Philip last Saturday at NGCC studio in Dublin.

Pre communication was great, Phil shared with me ideas and moodboard. We kept our conversation ongoing until the day of the shoot.

On the day everything went smooth, after a short intro about his projects we went through the ideas discussed. He was thoughtful of my needs, asking if I needed breaks and how I was feeling. While shooting he let me pose freely but also was giving useful directions when needed and together we achieved great results! So happy with the edits, who shared very quickly after the shoot :)

Apart to be a talented Photograper, Phil is a beautiful human, very caring, warm, friendly and great company.

He kindly gave me a lift home after our shoot.

I would love to work with Phil again and again :) recommended with no doubts!

Thank you Phil for the amazing shoot! V

It was a pure pleasure to work with Philip, he thought about all details beforehand, we had plenty of time to collaborate on the ideas we want to produce. We had an awesome shoot and results turned out amazing. Now looking forward to shoot more with Philip ♥

This was my first shoot with PJD and it won’t be my last . I really enjoyed shooting with Philip for a number of reasons. First of all he knew what he was looking for in terms of images and sent these ideas to me prior to the shoot . I had a good idea of what clothes would suit and prepared myself to suit his ‘ghost’ theme. He had great communication prior to meeting , gave me fantastic direction and encouragement throughout the shoot , he even brought me nibbles and drinks and made sure I was comfortable with everything we were shooting . I felt very happy exploring the theme and he was also great company and shared lots of his knowledge on photography. He’s a friendly , professional and kind photographer who is a great role model for how all photographers should behave and treat a model , with respect. Thank you 😊

Philip was part of a shoot event on my trip to Dublin and was a delight to work with. He is friendly and easy going. We also managed to squeeze in a small conversation in Dutch, which -much to my suprise- he has mastered quite well.

Amazing shoot with this lovely chap recently on my Dublin tour.

Phillip arrived on time and raring to go :)

Although he hasn’t shot with many models you wouldn’t have thought so, very chatty and such a friendly soul.

The images look great and can’t thank him enough for booking a shoot with me.

Thank you so much and hope to see you again real soon.
