Shot again with John today! Super laid back and helpful, since I'd never really shot pin up before, and totally willing to get on the floor and show me what to do! As always really fun and easy to get along with and I'll be back soon! Highly recommend :)

I worked with John for the first time this month and he was organised, professional and responded to messages in good time.

In all my years of modelling I have never come across a photographer who has such an array of outfits for models to wear! He has an array of latex, pin-up outfits and more. Plus a great selection of props and a clean, tidy, well equipped studio with a good choice of backdrops and sets.

He is easy to work with and respectful. Provided me with the images super fast and has a good style going on with his work.

I would certainly recommend and work with again anytime.

Wonderful shoot with John today! He had an huge range of latex, so much so that I need to go back to fit more in as we ran out of time! Super chatty and fun, incredibly polite and I will most definitely be working with him again, as even the unedited photos are amazing! Highly recommend :)

Had another wonderful shoot with both John and another model yesterday. Communication before hand was good and he was very welcoming and we had another great day, time seemed to fly by! We got through a good few outfit changes and created some lovely images. Cannot wait to see the finished result! Definitely would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Myself and my partner had a lovely shoot at John's home studio this afternoon and were made to feel very welcome upon our arrival. John gave us plenty of constructive tips to help us improve our own work and took some fantastic shots during a two hour shoot which passed very quickly and enjoyably - and was also kind enough to let my partner play around and experiment with his studio equipment.

All in all it was a great shoot and I would highly recommend working with John.

I worked with John a good number of times now and I must say I hold him in the highest esteem! The most wonderfully easygoing photographer you will ever meet! He is friendly but professional, full of ideas but open for others, humble yet confident! I love working with John and our collaboration has enabled me to get my work published twice now and also were rewarded an FPI. 100% recommended!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with John and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, he makes you feel so relaxed with his great ideas and props.

John has a well equipped studio, he knew exactly what he wanted to achieve from the shoot and also taking on any ideas I had too.

It was my first latex shoot but he seemed to know what would and wouldn't suit me. John's pre communication is great , from start to finish, all in all a fantastic shoot, now comes the hard part to choose the edited images. I would definitely recommend John and hopefully will shoot with him again soon x

I had the absolute pleasure of working with John for the first time this weekend. It was a joint shoot with John, Miss Red Toxin and myself and communication was great from the off. John was very welcoming and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. He was full of good ideas and had a wonderful supply of props and outfits for the two of us to experiment with. The day seemed to fly by and was great fun. I cannot wait to see the end results and hopefully have the pleasure of working with him again in the future.

I was fortunate enough to be the make up artist for john and Amy bliss and it was fantastic. The studio is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need. The area for make up is light and full of natural light which is perfect when applying make up.

As it was my first shoot john and Amy made me feel so at ease and confident. I can not wait to book our next shoot. Thoroughly recommend both of them and thank you for letting me part of the team.

Had my 3rd shoot with John at his home studio (and already looking forward to the next one!). John is such an awesome, professional photographer, so easy going and so much fun. Love his outfits, props and ideas and the shoots are always a pleasure! I'd thoroughly recommend John if you are thinking of trying latex or pin up! He rocks!

I had my first shoot with John a few weeks ago and it was fantastic from start to finish. Pre-shoot communications were excellent; we shared a Pinterest board that ensured we were on the same page, meaning our shoot was really productive.

John's home studio is one of the best I've seen, fully equipped with everything you could need. As a photographer, he is very talented and knows exactly what he's doing - the photos speak for themselves. In general, John is really easy to get along with and feel comfortable around, such a joy to work with. Loved it!

Can't wait to work with John again, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

I've worked with John twice now. The first time for Emerald UK fashion magazine, and the second time at his home studio.

John is an incredible photographer who produces extremely high standard professional work. I felt very comfortable and relaxed during the shoot and he is very lovely an absolute pleasure to work with.

The outcome of the photos for both the shoots were so beautiful and I am extremely happy.

I literally cannot wait to shoot with him again and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thankyou so much.

Amazing shoot! This was my first shoot in almost 3 years and I was incredibly nervous. John was very friendly and helped me shake away the nerves. I very much enjoyed working with him and hope to again in the future. John was happy to help give directions and listened to my own ideas too. It was a really fun shoot and would highly recommend working with him. The photos I saw on the day came out wonderfully and I can't wait to see the end results, thank you!

I worked with John for the first time on a group shoot for Emerald mag valentine issue - we models all had amazing princess gowns to wear! John was very friendly and a good laugh, had lots of ideas and was happy for my input too, I enjoyed working with him. Recommended to others for sure, and I'd be happy to work with him again myself.

I worked with John today in his home studio, and WOW I had a blast! It was my first latex shoot, John kindly provided all the outfits as well as refreshments and offered snacks. Very friendly guy, easy to chat to and takes amazing photos. It was such a productive shoot, I can't wait to book another with him soon.

I had the pleasure of shooting with John on 22nd December 2015. This was the first of many shoots that i am sure we will do together. He is so lovely and so welcoming and really makes you feel comfortable in his home (which contains the best home studio ever!) Pre-communication was great and we were able to throw ourselves into a whole range of ideas, all of which produced excellent results. I look forward to working with him again in the near future. Highly recommended photographer!

Amy Bliss

Having previously shot with John, I already knew I was in good hands! But I must say he truly excelled with this shoot. It was a pretty demanding day, as we were ambitious with the range of shots and outfits we planned to accommodate but we exceeded our plans by far.

Not only did we get great images, but I had a fun time getting them (and hopefully they are soon to be published).

John is an absolute trooper and worked flat out whilst remaining the perfect host. He is a passionate and highly skilled photographer, who I look forward to working with more in the future. :)

John is a great photographer. His communicated was great, I was very comfortable shooting with him. I was over from Australia and he was nice enough to meet me and drop me off at the right places. I had a great time and look forward to seeing the final photos. I would recommend him to anyone that enjoys pin up style photography.
