I recently had a two-model shoot with Portraits & Pinups. John was pleasure to work with; friendly, polite and professional. He has a great set up in his studio perfectly catered to pin-up complete with a vast retro wardrobe and props. We got a variety of different shot both individual and as a pair with several wardrobe changes. He

He communicates very well, on set and in follow-up comma and edited and supplied photos promptly. I'm very happy with the shots.

I'm really looking forward to working together again.

Had another fab shoot with John recently, the only tough part is choosing the final images as this man doesn't take a single bad photo!!!

Such a dude!

I had a fantastic shoot with John at his beautiful studio in central London.

Pre comms were great, John built a fantastic rapport and really brought a lot of enthusiasm and detail to the shoot. When we met at the station John was funny, kind and knowledgeable and we had a great chat getting to know each other before the shoot.

Johns studio is superb, warm comfortable and with a bathroom that any model would trade a left leg for, everything I could want or need was there from make up spares to absolute tonnes of wardrobe!

John a fantastic at directing as well as going with the flow and full of enthusiasm and energy which meant four hours felt like one.

I would recommend John over and over, and can't wait to work with him again,

I loved working with Portraits & Pinups and am looking forward to more collaborations in the future!

When I asked the lovely Phee Jameson to model a dress of my Dazzling Red latex range, she asked Portraits & Pinups to shoot the pics. With amazing results, I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much!

Thank you again!

I know you said you don't need anymore references, but I'm going to write one anyway!

Yesterday I got to shoot with John, and may I say what a wonderful shoot it was. Despite me being late due to train delays, we got cracking and had some lovely chats. John is so easy to work with and is so laid back. Absolutely lovely guy who respects who he works with. I definitely want to work with John again!

Fully recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Thanks again John for such a brilliant shoot.

I finally had the chance to work with Jon and had an absolutely amazing shoot.

There was good communication before hand and discussions on what outfits and style could be achieved. And I got to shoot in some amazing latex pieces! We covered so many styles that time just flew by.

He was professional, fun and friendly during the shoot and I quickly felt comfortable which helped.

I felt so pleased afterwards with what was achieved and I very much hope to get to work with Jon again :] Highly recommended :]

Loved working with John. We initially planned a shoot a year ago and due to unforeseen circumstances with a bee it had to be postponed. I was so happy when I could arrange a date to shoot while I was down in London on my tour. We did several sets from vintage lingerie to latex and I love the images I have seen so far. John has great ideas and is a fantastic photographer. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do all the ideas so I hope I am able to shoot with him when I am next down south. 100% recommend him to any model especially for those who want to try something more retro and pinup.

I could not recommend John more highly. We had our first shoot together this week and it was such fun. John knows how to put the model at ease when shooting and is funny and easy to get on with. His studio is professional and spacious and ideal for a great range of shoot ideas. The images that we got were exactly what I was looking for and I am excited to see the final edits.

I has an absolutely marvellous shoot with John he is so lovely, funny and is very professional at the same time. I meet up with him a few weeks back to meet in person and to plan our shoot. He has the most amazing outfits latex and non-latex there's so much to do. It was my first ever latex pinup shoot and he is very good at directing and has brilliant props. I love his cat chilli (Hes so Fluffy) I can't wait for our next shoot.book a shoot with John you won't be disappointed great guy

Another amazing shoot with John (Portraits and Pinups). Pre shoot communication was excellent. John was all set up and ready to go when I arrived. He provided plenty of refreshments and pizza and was generally hugely hospitable. We came away from a super fun shoot with tonnes of great shots and I can't wait to shoot with him again in the near future. Needless to say, he comes highly recommended.

I had the most amazing pinup and boudoir shoot with John over the last two days and had a fantastic time dressing up and doing some classic cheesecake and sultry boudoir and latex. We have been planning this shoot for a good few months and it finally got to happen as I journeyed up from Liverpool. Pre-communications where excellent, we devised a Pinterest board with ideas and went through dresses to use etc. John is extremely friendly and makes you feel very at ease and his props are out this world he was so very prepared for setting scenes and getting the best out of every photo. Overall, I would highly recommend working with him and can't wait to plan another shoot when I travel down south again in the future :)

John is a very accommodating photographer, this was my first latex and pinup studio shoot and he was great at giving directions and full of patience.

Have to add that he has a beautiful collection of dresses, props and latex too! So much to choose from, you won't have time to fit it all in. He even has the basics such as eyelash glue and hair bands (great if you have a mishap or forget anything).

If I'm ever in London on tour another time I'd be happy to shoot with John again. His attention to detail and interest in pinup is amazing. Thanks for the experience! X
