after a few year out of modeling I contacted peter to see if he fancied doing a shoot just to see how i felt with it all again and glad to say I was made very comfortable and started to regain my confidence once more.

looking forward to the next and would defiantly recommend this friendly and professional guy

Peter and I had organised a day group shoot at a fab studio several months ago and it finally came around!

Peter was brilliant in pre shoot communications, reassuring me it would be a relaxed day, which it most certainly was! And the photographers who joined us were equally as lovely and chilled.

Peter was super easy to work with, complimentary, friendly and professional and I hope to be returning in the new year!

Thanks Peter!

I had my first shoot with Peter just a couple of weeks ago - after being on each others radar for some time the opportunity finally arose and it was just pure awesomeness! Well worth the wait! :)

Peter came to shoot me at my home with plans to work entirely with natural light; a major challenge at the best of times and potentially utter havoc when the sun is dancing in and out of the clouds. As circumstance should have it... we had the latter, but that didn't stop Peter nailing some absolutely fantastic imagery in each and every set we did. I love his style: elegant/sensuous beauty with an element of just playing it by ear and sharing creative inspiration like the fabulous team that should form when a model and photographer work together. Peter includes his models in that innovative ideas-process every step of the way, never missing an opportunity to catch them in the loveliest possible way. It is so nice when this happens on a shoot as you really get into it and feel totally comfortable just going for it with suggestions, poses, the full works! I can safely say that I fully enjoyed working with Peter, even if this was the only reason :) I got so excited when he sent the first few edits through for me!

I also have to give credit to the way Peter takes his time and carefully composes images to get them looking as nice as possible. His eye is working on the shot the minute I shift pose and he will nail the angles to flatter the model/add drama/inject character with a careful watch on what the light is doing. He's a very good photographer indeed!

In terms of professional etiquette and respect for his models mid-shoot, Peter's is a Perfect example of how to make your model feel completely at ease. He is polite and courteous at all times with a really lovely character... we did almost as much nattering as we did shooting! But it was all good fun and the time flew by which is most certainly a good sign! I had perfect communications from him in the days before (and after), just an absolute gent really who I would not hesitate to recommend very highly to other models! I very much look forward to the opportunity of working together again soon, hopefully it won't take us as long to fix something up this time around! :P

Thank you ever so much Peter!

I had a brilliant time working with Peter at Map Studio in Loughborough. Peter is just great, he's so kind and friendly and easy to get along with. He had loads of great ideas for the time we had to shoot together and he produced some beautiful images that I love.

I would work with Peter again anytime and highly recommend him.

Thank you for making our shoot possible even though I live in South Wales! :)

Had a fab group shoot at JFYP, which was organised by Peter.

Pre-comms were excellent and well organised. He was warm and welcoming when I arrived and introduced me to the studio owner and all the photographers taking part.

Peter was very approachable and easy to talk to. He gave good direction and allowed me to pose freely too. I felt very comfortable throughout, and the time just flew by. He had a good plan for the evening and communicated his ideas well.

I look forward to working with Peter again in the future. Thanks for a great evening :)

I think its safe to say that Peter and i created magic on tuesday!!!

We hadnt met/shot together for 18 months, so it was a long overdue catch up and project that was beyond amazing from the moment we saw each other.

Ideas OVERflowed and were full of enthusiasm.

We were VERY comfortable.

We were VERY happy.

The time literally melted away.

Peters abilities never cease to amaze me: his adventurousness...passion...keen eye for lush lighting and wonderful, caring nature make him one of my favourites.

Thank you so much Peter. For your energy...for the experience...for the images...for making my day.

I got to work with Peter for the third time last week during my studio day at MAP Studio. Although this was our third shoot it was our first 1-2-1 booking! It was a very successful and fun three hours.

Peter had a few ideas on what he wanted from the shoot but was also open to my suggestions, baggy trousers and bonkers posing. ;)

We got some great images and had a lot of fun in the process! Looking forward to next time :) Thanks, Peter :)

I had the tremendous pleasure of working with Peter on another all day home shoot at mine last week. Groovy quick pre comms as always, he turned up on time, and we had a quick catch up and natter about what we were going to get up to, and then we got down to business.

We got through so many different styles and genres it's unbelievable especially as we we do spent a lot of time chatting! I've already had a few images sent over and they look excellent, I adore working with Peter as he's such a gem, he makes shoots so fun, and they are always a nice challenge as we do something a little different each time.

He obviously comes highly recommended by me and I'm always looking forward to the next time I shoot with him.

Thank you for another great day,

I always enjoy shooting with Peter and today was fantastic. After a break from modelling he made me feel fully at ease straight away and we got some amazing photo's! I would definitely recommend to all models! Thanks again Peter.

Having worked with Peter several times over the years it was a pleasure to work with him at my own studio for the first time. Peter has always been a pleasure to work with and this time was no different. He has a knack for being productive and creative but at the same time the shoot itself feels relaxed and fun, allowing plenty of time for conversation and exchanging ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and would happily recommend Peter to anyone, I saw fab images from the it too.

Thanks again for another great shoot :)

I had an awesome shoot with Peter today :)

He is a very friendly person who you can have great conversations with, and a fantastic photographer who knows exactly what he wants to achieve and works hard to get top results.

We worked with several different themes and it went very well, he knows what outfit and props will work best and helps you with the styling too :)

Highly recommended :)

As soon as you pick up a camera on a group shoot I think YES!!!! This is what I spent hours getting ready for because I know a great image is going to be created. I've worked with this chap a million times before and I'm sure there will be a million times more. Highly recommended to all xX

Peter kindly organised a day at his studio for me, taking the last few hours. I highly enjoyed our shoot together, he had some ideas, made good use of lighting as well.

He as an exceptionally lovely person to work with, chatty and friendly throughout the day making sure i was topped up with plenty of tea and snacks :) highly recommended by me and I would love to work with him again.

I had a great shoot with Peter this morning.

A true gentleman, and we made some amazing images together. He is, in my books, a highly recommended photographer!!

He's great at what he does, very skilled with lighting and post processing.

Not only that but we had a great chat throughout our shoot, and he picked me up from the train station and got me back to my hotel safely, carrying my bags at every given opportunity.

Thank you so much for shooting with me Paul, I sincerely hope to work with you again!

Highly recommended!!

Lots of love,

Just had my second shoot with Peter on another group shoot event at JFYP studio.

It was yet another fun day with looooads of crazy ideas and fun- the day flew by but we fitted in so much! :)

I was well looked after, kept warm, fed and watered all day- so it kept me energetic and happy (which is what I needed after that awful hotel!!)

I hope to see Peter again this year, perhaps for some 1-2-1 work down at mine :) Thanks, Peter!

Had a brilliant shoot with Peter at MAP Studio. Peter sent me ideas of the styles he was looking to shoot before we met, which was great as then I could bring the right stuff and be better prepared. On the day Peter was completely lovely, relaxed, easy to get on with and experimental. We shot quite a variety of styles which all looked totally different. I loved each one :D Peter took some fab images and was happy to show me them as we went, which is always useful. The shoot was a total joy and Peter is not only a pleasure but also respectful & professional . The images I have seen from the shoot afterwards look amazing also! Highly Recommended and thanks a million for a great shoot :D

I spent the day at JFYP Studio doing a group shoot hosted by Peter! Peter also got to shoot with me as well. The workshop was very well organised, with the group of photographers who were very professional and relaxed, each taking turns to work with me 1-on-1. Lunch was provided and I was given regular tea breaks. We did a mix of art nude, glamour and fashion. I had a great day and think there were some lovely images that came out of the day! Lots of different lighting set-ups and even a cool gel set-up which was really awesome. This was my second time working with Peter, and I'm sure it won't be the last. He's awesome to work with. Highly Recommended :)

Peter organised another fantastic evening at JFYP Studio. It had been a while since a last visited the studio and it is always lovely to catch up with Peter.

This particular evening we focused on working towards artistic nude. The ideas were great and the evening without doubt a success. Highly recommended by me.

I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with Peter for the first time over Christmas. He arrived on time and was charming and friendly. We had some excellent conversation during the shoot and he shot at a comfortable place making the shoot relaxed and enjoy able. I love his style of work and due to my recent interest in photography was fascinated watching his work flow. He really knows how to work the lights. He was very undemanding and allowed me to pose freely meaning I could really express myself during the shoot.

I would definitely recommend him and hope we can shoot again sometime in the future.
