I had the pleasure of working with Terry for a dual location beach and fairground shoot in Southend. Terry is a highly professional and skilled photographer with a wealth of expertise and a keen eye for capturing unique and creative shots. Communication throughout the shoot was friendly and relaxed, making it fun and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Terry and look forward to working together again 😊

I had a such great shoot with Terry at his studio. He is professional, friendly and great at giving directions. Terry had some creative and fun ideas, a great set up and he was a perfect host throughout offering drinks and anything needed. I felt comfortable straight away and we’ve done some shots I haven’t done before. Different and unique styles. We got lots of amazing images.

I strongly recommend Terry and hoping to meet him for another shoot soon !

Terry is super friendly and professional! He has a well equipped studio with lots of props and wardrobe! We had a cuppa, he picked me up from the station, we got some amazing images! Highly recommend!

What makes Terry very special is the way he immediately establishes the most friendly and warm human connection with his models. From the love interest in their character and aspirations, he draws inspiration and knowledge of their personality, before starting the shoot. His spacious cottage studio has interesting props to interact with, amazing light equipment that Terry skilfully uses to emphasise his model features and wardrobe, and a cup of good tea to start a conversation. He delicately blends smooth guidance with the freedom of wardrobe choices and posing, so that the model could express themselves with ease and fun. Every idea is welcome and this is how an amazing, pure and thoroughly captured photo is born, topped with the great quality of editing. Terry knows publishing rules and tips better than anybody else and with him, you can be sure that you’ll be published. I highly recommend this seasoned, sophisticated professional and a true gentleman!

It was exactly one year ago when I shot with Terry the first time; I managed my first international publication with him and can truly call it the kick start to my modelling career :-) Time to say a big THANK YOU and also for the further work we did (3 more outstanding publications and a wonderful head shot shooting.)

Yesterday we turned an idea we had 1 year in our heads into reality: and the only word I can think of is WOW!

What a shooting!

It was a highly creative one and we had a so talented MUA on board. Terry was once more brilliant when it comes to all technical and artistic aspects. When we went through the shots we did we realised that we all loved it. The colours, the poses, the outfits, MU and composition were beautiful and quirky, truly superb.

Terry thank you so much for working with me, your energy, talent and passion you put in every creation!

Hope we create more magic together 2024 and the following years :-)

If you are looking for a photographer who will push your portfolio to the top: you don't have to think twice shooting with Terry

Highly, highly, highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Terry two days ago. Such an interesting experience! He is an amazingly talented professional who knows exactly what he wants and can communicate it in a pleasant yet firm manner. The images he obtained are absolutely stunning.

Communication was perfect from the beginning. He picked me up at the station and drove me back. His very well equipped studio has everything that is needed to produce excellent results, and it’s also a fascinating place for someone with a curious mind like myself.

Finally, he is also a very interesting person with great conversation, which made our interaction even more enjoyable. I totally recommend him to anyone looking to obtain top quality images in a safe and pleasant environment.

I had my first ever retro shooting today with Terry and I cannot put into words how amazing it all was. The studio where we shot was equipped with everything and, if possible, more. It was like being in Mary Poppins’ bag.

Terry was very patient, open to dialogue but at the same time precise with what he wanted.

We were joined by Laura Hoile who brought some stunning corsets, hats (made by her!!) and skirts.

The photos, from the previews, look gorgeous and I am very much looking forward to seeing the final result.

It would be a huge joy to work with Terry again in the future, and I cannot recommend him more.

I had an amazing shoot with Terry yesterday.

He was so lovely to pick me up from the station; it was a short drive to his studio, which is a wonderful place full with props and technically outstanding well equipped.

The pictures we produced were really exactly what we both were after; nevertheless there was also room for an outstanding creative idea Terry came up with. I simply loved it!

Terry always showed me the pictures on the big screen and after the session we

picked the very best. I can't wait to see the full outcome.

If you are looking for a photographer who stands out of the crowd and produces high quality images: Terry should be your choice!

I worked with Terry very last minute, and really glad that I did!

He made me feel comfortable from the beginning and had some great ideas to shoot at both the beach and fairground. He has some great camera kit to work with that produced some amazing lighting techniques, and he was super helpful with directing poses, and also making sure that I was comfortable and ok throughout the whole shoot.

Highly recommend working with Terry! You will have a great shoot and come away with some great images. Thank you so much!

I would definitely recommend this photographer to work with I love his work. When I was working with this photographer he would always show me the images and the select ones I love, he gave me a mirror to also pose and practice my movement’s and learning how to move in front of the camera.

I brought my own outfits but retro had a room with accessories and a few types of outfits amazing to work helping with my direction to pose I have worked with him now 2 times high resolution images and great to work with.

I was so honoured when Terry asked to work with me as I love his work. He was very hospitable offering hot drinks and breaks between the shoot. I was able to view images and select the ones I love which I never have the chance to do on my other shoots. Also Terry provided a mirror so I can see my poses and a screen where I could see the pictures as he took them. Terry was very good at giving direction on how to pose and had a range of posing ideas. Although I brought most of my outfits, Terry had plenty accessories available at his studio for me to use. I thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with him and cannot wait to see the pictures.

Working with Terry was an absolute pleasure, fantastic photographer and very professional. He was very efficient with arranging our shoot and discussing what types of shots we were aiming to achieve.

The studio was perfect with a spacious dressing room equipped with mirrors, dressing table and plenty of spare shoes/clothes. Terry was also very hospitable offering hot drinks and biscuits which was very much appreciated on a cold day like we had.

During the shoot, Terry was very professional and guided me with directions whilst also allowing me to experiment and explore my own poses/angles so all in all was a very collaborative process. The whole experience was enjoyable with Terry being upbeat and personable meaning I was at ease and felt very comfortable. We had a great shoot and I can’t wait to see the final images. Couldn’t recommend Terry highly enough.

Great to work with T on his ideas and concepts. He has lots to work with in his studio. He was courteous and polite from the beginning. Highly Recommended

Terry offered me to do publication for a magazine together and I deliberately agreed, knowing how good he is in publication shoots.

It was in his studio at Leigh on sea, Terry, me and my sister who did make up for me create a great tram vibe and pictures came out very beautifully.

Terry is professional, very well known in fashion industry and easy going. It was great to work with him!

Highly recommend!

Lucy Norton

Had my first lockdown shoot with Terry and loved it! He has great knowledge of how to shoot a FaceTime / Zoom shoot. He gave me lots of direction and feedback. It was great fun and I would highly recommend him! Can't wait to see the final photos!

Miss L Ginge

I had my first virtual shoot with Terry, I could not think of a better person to try this new concept with! We actually achieved more than I thought. Terry was able to use the space and lighting I had in the room. I can not wait to see the results.

I have seen Terry's results of his other virtual shots and they are great! I look forward to heading to Terry's studio when we can to have another great shoot.

If you get to work with Terry snap up the chance to, his just great! 110% recommended.

Starr Lively

Had a great time during our virtual photoshoot. He was very accommodating considering we're on opposite sides of the ocean! We were able to work through some odd technical difficulties to produce some great shots. I'm happy I got to work with Terry and I hope to meet him in person one day!
