I work yesterday with John and have an amazing experience, professional, fun, easy to follow directions, teaching me knew things.

Jhon is really professional, communication was great letting me know what he needs and what we are going to do.

I highly recommend no just because results are amazing but because full experience is really enjoyable.

Can't wait to work with him again ☺️

Always a pleasure to shoot with John. If you want professionalism and attention to detail at its peak , with added giggles , guidance and enthusiasm- he’s your guy. We cycled through a range of looks and everything we covered came out well. John is always willing to try something new and keep things fresh - he thinks very quickly and knows exactly what he wants to portray in an image or style. It’s very evident that he has been in the game for a number of years and the ease with which we settle into a shoot is testament to his ability to create a great experience. Highly recommend for experienced and first time models. John will keep you right, comfortable and confident, with stellar images to show for it. Thanks for another fab time John: I’ll be back when I can.

Had a second shoot with John recently and it all went really well from the communication to the actual shoot day, we had a great laugh and some food during the day, lots of different outfits and backgrounds too so there was such a good variety of images in the end. Highly recommend x

Have worked with John twice now and he is honestly one of my favourite photographers to work with! Makes models feel so comfortable and puts them at ease - all nerves are gone within the first few minutes.

Received all images within a couple of days and they were edited to such a high standard!

Would 100% recommend shooting with John if you get the chance - he's definitely one of the best.

John was really nice and professional, we had great conversation during the shoot and I felt really at ease with John as he explained everything.

The images turned out great and I was sent them very soon after the shoot which was great. I have had many compliments on the images from the shoot and I use them regularly.

He is a talented photographer and I look forward to the next shoot.

I was absolutely delighted to be HMUA for John and Anastaciia's shoot. This is my second time working with John as MUA and both shoots have been absolutely fantastic.

He puts models at ease straight away, and pre comms are perfect for ensuring the right kit is packed for the planned looks.

A very knowledgeable, professional photographer - you will be guaranteed a fantastic shoot with amazing images!

Thank you again John for having me a part of the shoot.

It was my second studio shoot with John in Falkirk. Pre communication was excellent, he is really friendly, polite and overall a great person, who makes feel the model as much comfortable as it’s possible.

John was so lovely and I enjoyed time spending with him during our shoot. This photographer will always help you and give you a good direction with poses as well as would be happy with your own ideas.

I received all the edited images next day and

was just amazed with them!!

I can definitely recommend shooting with John if you ever get a chance, he is a real professional in this field.

Thank you so much for such wonderful photos as the results which we achieved just exceeded all my expectations and looking forward to working together again💗🙌

First time shooting with John yesterday. I would highly recommend. Even before the shoot John keeps in touch up untill the shoot. Asks what you would like to shoot. Gives ideas also. Also helped me with having a make up artist in place as I was travelling very early.

I felt comfortable with John sat and had a coffee before the shoot and chatted while getting my make up done

The shoot itself was amazing we done so many different looks. We got a lot done . But the hours flew in as it was fun and John chatted away. His work is amazing love the edits I got back already can’t wait for the rest. Would definitely shoot with John again

Worked with JR2 as a photographer in his studio. JR2 is very knowledgeable about photography and lighting and guided me as a beginner to achieve fantastic results. Would highly recommend working with JR2 for people starting out and needing practice with getting high end professional images.

I have worked with John about 4 times now and my daughter has also had a shoot with him. I have nothing but good things to say about John. He is an absolutely brilliant photographer but also very down to earth, professional and respectful. We have always had a good laugh during shoots while still getting the job done and producing some great images. His attention to detail like position of hands or hair out of place etc is also very impressive and beneficial in a shoot.

I hadn't been in front of a camera in over a year and decided to get back into it but was a bit anxious and my confidence had dropped a bit, but John made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and brought my confidence right back out in no time. Unfortunately I also couldn't get childcare for this day and my daughter had to tag along with me , John is absolutely brilliant with her too and as a mum I appreciate that so much as I didn't feel she was in the way or annoying him at all.

The images John produces are of a very high standard , as is his communication before the shoot and the effort he puts in during the shoot. I can honestly say he is the best photographer I have worked with and I will always highly recommend him.

Thanks again John, I've got that confidence back and ready to dive back in!😊 I'm sure that won't be our last! Until next time x

I had another wonderful shoot with John last weekend in his new studio space. I have worked together with John before in a previous studio, where he had also hosted me on model days and was a great help with advertising them and for help on the day.

John is genuinely one of my favourite creatives to both work with and chat to. He is one of the best in Scotland in my opinion, and I truely do enjoy working with him. John is always respectful, fun, full of ideas and is so easy to collaborate with. His images speak for themself, and every model I know has a high opinion of both him and his work. I will always recommend John to models who are both experienced in need of a portfolios update, and to those who are new & need a bit of guidance. I run a model safety chat and John is always letting new models know of the group which is fantastic so we can all keep in touch of fellow creatives both good and bad.

John always has a high standard of work, and always helps model feel good in their skin. He is a true delight to work with and as I say, will always be recommended by me to others.

Until next time John! ⭐️

Always a great experience with this photographer! John is very talented, manages light very well and takes care of all the details so that the photos come out as best as possible. It's always nice to talk and there is a friendly atmosphere. I'm always happy to come back to photo sessions with John. I would say he is the best photographer and know so far, the photos are always very professional and arouse interest

📸✨Had the pleasure of a photoshoot with John yesterday, and it was an absolute delight to return to the camera after a year. John's patience during my first shoot back was greatly appreciated, making the experience smooth and enjoyable.

John is not only a brilliant photographer but also a supportive and professional individual. His positive and helpful demeanor creates a comfortable atmosphere for models. I genuinely look forward to more collaborative shoots with him in the future!

Had my first shoot with John and what a pleasure. I thought our shoot was scheduled 30 mins earlier than planned, although I was welcomed early to arrive at a fully equipped studio and well organised. John welcomed me with a coffee and croissants and good chat and laughs before the shoot.

He is very knowledgeable and gives direction well when he has a pose in mind he wants to capture. I received some of our shots the same night and already over the moon with our work.

Thanks again, John!

Few days ago I had an amazing shoot with John for the first time at the studio in Falkirk. Pre communication was great, John is not just a professional photographer with an excellent taste and attention to every detail, but a really lovely person and true gentleman who will take maximum care to ensure that during the photoshoot model feels as comfortable as possible.

I wholeheartedly recommend him to absolutely ALL models. If you are new model and just want to practise your skills and gain some experience or if you are more experencied and want to extend your portfolio, while working with John you will have a chance to do it! He will not only help to instill in you the confidence that after a photoshoot with him you will feel 100% like a diva, but also help you with a posing and advise how would be best to stand in order to look great in the end, since he has so many years of experience in photography.

For me it was one of the best shootings I’ve ever had in my life, as I got a charge of positive emotions and wonderful vibe with a chance to work with such talented photographer.

Just received all the edited photos and I am really in love with them, as they came out so beautiful and definitely will extend my modelling portfolio!💫

Already looking forward to our next shoot with John!

Thank you so much again,

Nastia

Pre communication and communication during the shoot was great and understanding. John was friendly and insightful providing feedback and advice on posing as well as the industry as a whole.

Jogn knew how to use his equipment well and a variety of lighting was used which made for a lovely variety of shots.

A couple of early edits have been sent through quickly and the results are fantastic.

John is a lovely, friendly and clearly passionate photographer and I wouldn't think twice about recommending anyone to work with him.

I met and worked with John for the first time today and I have to say, it was probably the best shoot I've done so far since starting modelling 10 years ago. John is a lovely guy with a clear passion in photography. This certainly shows in his work. I've already got a few of the images back and they are just stunning.

Pre coms were perfect, music taste was even better 😁

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with John and I'm already looking forward to our next shoot.

Working with John was a great experience! He is considerate, kind, a great photographer& completely professional. A pleasure to deal with pre shoot communications & after. I have posing skills but it is always nice to be given a nudge and get some direction also to capture a great shot! I would work with John again he was happy to let me decide on my themes as I wanted to get creative and do something a little different for me. I'd recommend any model to work with him and have happily recommended him to other models especially new models as I know they would be 100% comfortable with him and get great 1st shots for their portfolio.

He was super quick and very generous with his edits. He's a great eye for detail and didn't disappoint. We got some fantastic images 😍
