Had the pleasure of having my first ever shoot with John! Thanks to his work and how great he is it has given me the confidence to follow my dream of being a model! All of his shots are beautiful and he is such a friendly and amazing guy! Would definitely recommend him to anyone and can't wait for the opportunity to shoot with him again! X

Had an absolute blast working with John! I instantly felt relaxed and he was full of great ideas. Not only is he a talented photographer but he's incredibly friendly and chatty. Can't wait to work with him again soon. Would most definitely recommend.

I've worked with John on 3 occasions and look forward to working with him again in the future.

John makes you feel welcome upon arrival and is a sincerely professional individual before, during and after the shoot.

He has his own selection of clothes which are to die for making every shoot more unique than the last. He responds to messages very quickly and send you the shoot photos within hours of the shoot.

What I particularly like about shooting with John, other than being fed cake, is how he uses an iPad to display photos taken whilst shooting. This aided me in modelling a great deal and allowed me to adjust my pose to get the best shots possible.

This is my 3rd time working with John and he is always such a pleasure to work with.

He is so easy to get along with and time always goes so quickly. He is very professional and communicates very well. The end result images always look beautiful!

100% Highly recommend! Thank you again and look forward to working with you again soon.

John is someone who I've wanted to work with for probably over a year now. So when the chance came for us to work together while I was at a loose end down in London, I went for it! His pre-communications are excellent, and on the shoot itself, he was exceptionally easy to talk to. He maintained a wonderful ease of chattiness with a passion for his craft and an interest in the subject as a whole. I also adore the images that we've produced together. I recommend him highly to models both new and more experienced.

Another shoot with John and more brilliant outcomes. Shooting with John is like catching up with an old friend, he's so lovely and very easy to get on with. Constantly makes sure the model is okay, fed and watered.

He has a brilliant eye for what he's after and always experiments with what he's doing.

I always feel like I could shoot for hours more, it seems to end too soon!

Thanks John, you're the best!

I really enjoy shooting with John, he is very friendly, welcoming, and professional. I have worked with him on 3 separate occasions and he has consistently given me high quality images that I am proud to have been a part of.

I really look forward to working with him again!

I had a fantastic shoot with John on Thursday, i felt extremely comfortable throughout. he was catering to my needs and provided great hospitality. I've already planned a second shoot as i feel our creativity will really compliment each others styles in future too. Our communication was great before shooting and while I was travelling to the shoot too which is really important to me. I will be recommending John to both professionals and beginners. :)

Amazing photographer to work with. Met for my second ever shoot, he made me feel so at ease and talked me through everything and helped me with posing.

A fantastic professional photographer I'd gladly work with again!

This was my first time shooting, and I was pretty nervous! John was very communicative, open to discussion prior and during the shoot and was a joy to work with, which definitely put me at ease. I would always be happy to shoot with him again, and though I have no experience he managed to get some fabulous pictures from our time together!

I would highly recommend, he's respectful, encouraging and incredibly personable.

Kitty Dawson

I had a shoot with John and we were good at brainstorming and deciding what photo sets to do.

He is very creative and skilled at what he does.

This is a photographer who know extremely well how to work with light, there was no taking ages for the lights or anything like that, it was perfect! :)

John made me feel comfortable and at ease.

Too excited for the pictures to come back :-D !

Portraits & pin ups worked on a product shoot for my business. both before and after the shoot the communication between us was excellent, with all aspects of the shoot covered so that i got the shots that i needed for my promotion.

i would definitely recommend Portraits & Pinups, and i hope to work together again in the future.

Never a disappointing shoot with John! I believe this is our third now, and he is by far one of my favourites to work with. So professional, yet so friendly and a good laugh. Time goes too quickly with John, way too quickly! But it's always great fun shooting with him. I've never disliked an image he's taken, he's just too good! Book him now, you will not be disappointed. Great photographer!

I had my first lingerie shoot, and also my first shoot in over a year with John on Saturday and it by far has been one of my most pleasant experiences from my time in this industry. It was a relaxed and friendly environment. He's extremely talented and always prioritizes the models comfort, and is great at collaborating with ideas and advising on poses and such to achieve the best shot possible. I highly recommend working with him, and i look forward to future shoots with him!

I had the pleasure of working John for the first time and it is an experience I will never forget.

John is definitely my favourite photographer by far, he works in such a friendly yet professional manner. We had such a lovely day full of laughs and produced some incredible work.

I cannot recommend him highly enough and cannot wait to shoot again!x

I've had several shoots with John now and they just get better and better! John is a really friendly, kind person who is so easy to get on with - I look forward to our shoots so much.

John has a massive knowledge and understanding of pinup and pays a lot of attention to the details. He isn't bothered by my fussy-ness with getting poses just right and always tells me if something can be improved, which is fantastic.

His work is simply beautiful, and the facilities at his home studio are amazing - private changing area/bathroom, refreshments etc.

Overall I would definitely recommend John to anybody and would particularly recommend him to new models who are a bit nervous - he has a calming presence and is so understanding.

Thank you for all the great shoots John, here's to more!

Storm Kitty

Worked with john yet again on a duo shoot and had a wonderful time! The 4 hours absolutely flew by as usual and the photos are awesome. Hes got such a huge selection of clothes i always get to wear something new! Highly recommend, cant wait for the photos!

Had my first shoot with John today. And he was definitely worth the travel from Cornwall. I did I duo shoot with Storm Kitty and had a blast. He was very welcoming, and super friendly.

Cannot recommend him enough, and I would love to work with him again soon! :)

Had my second shoot with John for a valentines themed shoot I had been wanting to do for a while and I knew he'd be the perfect photographer for it :]

I showed him the ideas and images I would like to achieve in the shoot, and we made sure we had all the props needed to do so. We covered a range of outfits in the short time we had from latex to lingerie using items from both our wardrobes (and his shoe collection is something to be jealous of).

I had a fantastic time shooting, and once again was made me feel welcomed and relaxed and I am over the moon with the results. I am really looking forward to working with John again as I cannot fault anything and the images are always amazing. He give's 100% with his work :] Highly Recommended :]

I had been previously recommended to work with John by three friends who had worked with him before, and I am so happy I got in contact with him.

One of the best shooting experiences I've had so far and I felt so comfortable around him.

He was super open to my ideas and we got some brilliant work out of it.

Can't wait for our next shoot, already booked for the 22nd, and I hope to work with him more in the future!

Not to mention, he has the most ADORABLE CAT EVER! Worth working with him just for the kitty! Hahah! x
