I shot with John today along with Haelin Rayne.

Pre coms were perfect.

John is a friendly guy and easy to get along with.

He makes you feel incredibly welcome and is very attentive.

His home studio is 2nd to none. It's comfortable and has everything you need and more.

Thanks for a fun shoot :)

Had a brilliant shoot with John this weekend.

Fantastic communication from the beginning, John also set up a Pinterest board for both of us to share our ideas and looks for our shoot, which was really helpful. John also arranged for my hair and make up to be done by a local artist who was brilliant.

Was made to feel very comfortable and felt very at ease with John from start to finish. His hospitality is superb and second to none.

Really pleased with the photos, and his home studio is awesome. Great direction from John, would highly recommend and really hope to work with him again.

I had such a great shoot with John. We both came up with great ideas for the shoot and the results are amazing! He is very professional and made me feel welcome and at ease at his home studio, and has a lovely home too!

I would highly recommend John for shoots!!!!

I so hope to work with him in the future for an 80's shoot.

From the start John creates an excellent atmosphere to shoot in. This was my first shoot and I instantly felt at ease in his well kitted out studio. He keeps the shoot fun as well as giving guidance, which makes for a very enjoyable yet efficient session (I can't believe how many outfits we covered and was really impressed with the results)! I would love to shoot with John again and can highly recommend him.

Had a brilliant first shoot with John today. He provided an array of latex costumes and was helpful, professional and friendly. He has a great studio set up, we had a really productive session and I can't wait to work with him again. Awesome!

Had a test shoot with jbp two days ago, he was really welcoming and put me at ease straight away, offered me drinks and food and had a good chat before getting started. He has a great selection of outfits and props and I feel we got some great shots out of it. He gave helpful advice on poses and made sure I was comfortable with what we were doing. Already planning on shooting with him again and collaborating our ideas to get some really interesting images! Would definitely recommend :)

I had my first shoot with Jbp at his home studio. He is very friendly and professional. The shoot theme was latex and i had the chance to do something a bit different for my port. He is a very organized and creative person. Looking forward to the results.

Highly recommended

WOW! What can I say about John?! To put it shortly, a truly amazing guy who made me feel welcome straight away! Met me at my car and helped me carry my bags in, gave me the nicest drinks and even made me a pizza! Now that's good hospitality!

We tried several different styles out and he gave me excellent direction! The photos we got are truly amazing! ☺️ I would jump at the chance to work with him again!! Book him now!

I had a test shoot with John and I can recommend him 100%. He has very good attitude and easy to work with, polite and professional. He let me see the photos during the shoot, which is very helpful. He's got many cool outfits and props and the studio is well equipped. Also, can give very useful advices. The photos were in my Dropbox straight after the shoot- super quick. Everything was good and we will be shooting again soon, can't wait :)

I had my second shoot with John last week, yet again an amazing fun shoot! Got amazing shots from it and would love to work together more when I'm back. He is so laid back and easy to get on with, so awesome!

I highly highly highly recommend him! :)

I had a sugar skull themed shoot with John and a MUA yesterday at his equipped home studio, and it's safe to say I had a fantastic time and some great images to show for it.

John is incredibly friendly, chatty and at all times professional. He allowed me to see the images he was taking throughout the shoot, and asked my opinion and made sure I was happy at all times. He gave direction and suggestions where necessary, and was keen to get some fab shoots at the end. The unedited images were Dropboxed to me by the end of the day.

I had a great time and was very much recommend John.

I had the best Pin Up 50s shoot with John and the MUA Sunday 26th April. It was so fun and easy going. We got some amazing images and we are having another shoot this month!

He is so nice and made me feel so comfortable around him. The studio is the best, cutest studio I've seen (wish i had it myself).

I recommend him to everyone!

I had my first pinup photo shoot with John and it was a great experience. John knew that this was my first shoot and he was extremely welcoming and made me feel at ease. He was hugely professional; talking me through everything he was doing and gave fantastic direction. He also has a wealth of knowledge regarding the industry, which he shared with me. He has an expertly equipped studio and a wide range of props. The final images are of a fantastic standard and I cannot wait to work with John again. I highly recommend him.

I worked with John for the second time this weekend doing makeup for a Vintage/Pin-up Photoshoot. He is very calm, professional and communication was great, as the first time. We had a lot of fun, images are amazing and I wish to work with John much more times. Thanks for everything!

MarinaSaliba

Work with John was a truly amazing experience. We made a productive photo shoot in his beautiful studio last Sunday. He was on time to pick up me at the train station, he was very kind to worry about mine and models comfort while we are working, was patient with the time it takes to do makeup, hair and change clothes. His photographers skills are fantastic: creative, versatile and communicates all the time with us. We were able to make great photos for all portfolios. Besides that, we had a lovely afternoon and I felt very comfortable working with a very nice person. I highly recommend him and want to work much more times with John.

Thank you!

I shot with John at his home studio yesterday, not my first shoot with John but my first at his home studio. As always he was professional, welcoming and friendly :) his home studio is just incredible, very spacious and plenty of light and backdrop choices, a spacious bathroom and changing room with a lovely mirror and lighting setup for the ladies to do their makeup, of course don't let me forget a mini fridge! :D all in all I had a wonderful day and the studio is fantastic, John is a great host and never fails to impress me with the pictures he returns so I would very highly recommend him to anybody looking for a good quality photographer :)

thank you John xx

Found John via a friend who shoots with him regularly.

Despite booking the shoot super last minute, I had a fantastic and fun shoot with John!

He picked me up from the station, super welcoming and really professional - we managed to shoot an array of ideas, different backgrounds, different concepts and John conveyed my crazy ideas in my head perfectly!

We had such a good laugh at the shoot, brilliant pre-shoot communication, and communication during the shoot is also fantastic - able to see images as you shoot so you're able to even tweak your pose as the model if you aren't 100% happy - such a fab idea!

Unedited images received the same evening, and started editing the images straight away. The final edit image of one idea I had in my head, John put together so wonderfully! So happy!

Thank you for a wonderful shoot!

I'd definitely recommend John, super professional, really creative and I can't wait to shoot with John again! :) x
