John is absolutely amazing to work with! My first ever shoot was with him and I can't express how much of a wise decision it was. He is incredibly helpful with direction but also gives you the flexibility to pose however you want. In addition to that, he is very supportive behind the camera i.e. advising how to get started on PurplePort and tips on modeling. I highly recommend John and hope to work again with him soon. :)

John shot me and my friend for a location fashion shoot although the weather wasn't the best so we headed to the studio and shot fashion and latex

We got some awesome photos together and had a fun shoot.

Will keep this reference short as I'm pretty sure all the other references say

it all :) thank youuu :)

Had a fantastic shoot with John. He's a super nice guy with a friendly vibe and is super talkative which made me feel instantly comfortable. Even picked me up from the station so I didn't get lost! Would certainly recommend him to anyone wanting a very professional photographer and an amazing bunch of photos to follow. Can't wait to work with him again and shoot a different idea. Thanks again John!! X

Really enjoyed shooting with John at his studio yesterday, he is incredibly organized and we managed to do a wide variety of changes, he owns an amazing collection of outfits, latex and props and anything else you could possibly need to shoot! He’s a really good photographer and I’m in love with the images! He was very helpful with direction but also gave me the freedom to pose however I wanted as well. Very laid back and relaxed person and cares about the model having a good experience above everything else, one of the best shoots I’ve had! I highly recommend John and hope to work with him again soon :)

I would definitely recommend working with John he is hard working and a really easy person to get along with, he has an incredible wardrobe and shoe collection to choose from aswell not to mention the latex choice ! which is my personal favourite. We have created alot of strong photos from this set and I hope to publish this next set :) thank you very much is always a pleasure to shoot with you xx

Ive had three shoots with John so far. All I can say is hes amazing. I would never have started off if it wasn't for him, he brought out my confidence, and I got better at posing in each shoot and we always got a lot of good shots. He always makes sure the model is comfortable and will try to make your ideas come to life. I will definitely be shooting with him again. Highly recommend having a shoot with him.

Had such a fun shoot with John today! We had collaborated previously for my latex brand, this was the first time we met in person :)

Planning was pretty last minute, but John was flexible and travelled to the apartment I was staying at in London for our shoot.

We shot different sets (latex & lingerie) and he was super creative about using the available space (including the bathroom!). I saw the unedited images: wow! We created some awesome shots :) I highly recommend John!

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with John at his home studio this week!

John is not only a fantastic photographer, with an excellent space/setup, and INCREDIBLE wardrobe and accessories haul (which we used to the tune of 4 outfit changes!) but just a lovely lovely person. He has amazing ideas about posing, accessorising and mood, was encouraging and kind, and provided me with hands down my favourite shoot yet!

I really hope I get the chance to work with John again!

As it was my first shoot I was incredibly nervous but immediately from meeting John he was chatty and friendly. He clearly knows a lot but also has an extreme passion for his craft. He made me completely at ease and laughed the whole way through. I have never had so much confidence than in the lovely studio he has at his home. His studio is nice and bright with easily adjusted lights and ample room for changing discretely. He is polite and helpful as well as insightful and honest. I never felt like he was just schmoozing and felt his opinion was honest yet thoughtful. His critique and guidance is gold. Can't wait to work with him again!

Another shoot with John, more amazing outcomes.

We shot with another model called Ruby Alexia. What an amazing, fun filled day! We got through some great sets as well as having s right old laugh. John is always so lovely and accommodating, making sure the models are okay and well.

Thank you John!

I've had the pleasure of working with John on a number of occasions. He was the first professional photographer that I approached to start a portfolio. Since then we've had a fair amount of shoots and not only has my portfolio grown, but my confidence has - an incredible amount!

John is extremely kind, helpful and professional. (I'm not just saying that)

I couldn't recommend anyone as much as I could John.

His style of work is designed to make you feel at ease as well as excited about shooting and in return delivers high quality shots you have the pleasure of going through and choosing (for post processing.)

I've not personally shot Pin Up style, but just being in his studio I know there is an incredibly large selection of outfits and props that could be used!

John really is a lovely person to shoot with, and will help you grow if you want or need him to. Nothing is too much trouble!

an 11/10!

I felt very confident and comfortable and I would certainly recommend this photographer. Tony has a great wardrobe and shoes to choose from, I had a blast ! :) and i cant wait to share the results. Thank you very much for the opportunity and i hope to work with you again in the future x

The studio is a great space with a range of props and accessories to choose from. I had an awesome time and I highly recommend Portraits & Pinups to any model - newbie or more experienced !!! Top photographer! 5 stars!
