Had my first shoot with Simon today and felt very comfortable, Simon is lovely to work with and very talented. We did some home studio work and location work which was amazing, Simon knows how to give directions but also gives the model freedom to bring in her own ideas.

I would definitely recommend Simon to anyone, what a lovely and successful day, thank you :)

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Simon for a tuition session at shutterworks studio. Simon picked me up and the conversation flowed easily, and during the shoot he was respectful, kind and eager to learn. He was happy to take on ideas from both Scott and myself which created a great atmosphere and some lovely images. I look forward to next time and would happily recommend Simon to others.

We arranged a last minute impromptu shoot today and after the drama of the rail replacement bus service and fading light we shot back at Simon's house.

Making sure you are at ease is his number one priority, he really cares for and looks after his models. We chatted up a storm and tried out a bunch of different ideas getting some truly beautiful shots!

Throughly enjoyed today, cannot wait to work together again!

I had my second shoot with Simon today. We went to a lovely location with plenty of options allowing us to create a variety of images. As always Simon was polite and extremely considerate. The day past very quickly and was very chilled and relaxed. Simon is fun to shoot with and we had a good laugh along the way. If anyone is considering shooting with Simon then I would highly recommend It. On both occasions Simon has arrived in good time and is very patient. His pre communications are exellent and I can't wait to shoot with him again.

Thank you again Simon for such a great day :-)

What a fabulous serendipitous shoot!

Simon was let down by his original model, so Chiara & I stepped in right at the last minute & sort of took over with our crazy styling ideas (sorry!) & we worked through quite a few sets.

Simon is lovely, personable & very friendly. We chatted as we started & he was happy to listen to mine & Chiara's suggestions to get the best from us. Simon's confidence was booming by the end of the day.

We all had a laugh & he captured so many lovely images.

Thank you & would work together again.

Definitely recommended x

Had my first shoot with Simon at my home on Friday.

He arrived on time & his pre shoot comms were excellent.

Simon is a super photographer.He gave great direction & knew exactly what he wanted to achieve.

This was a 3 hour shoot & the time just flew by so quickly which is always the hallmark of a great shoot.

I really hope to be shooting with him again real soon.

Recommended to all models.

Thank you Simon

I've had the pleasure of shooting with Simon twice now and doing some photoshop work for him.. once when he booked me for a full day at my beach home in Angmering.. we spent the day creating as many versatile sets as possible, in the decorated teepee, fashion & nudes up against the white wall, at the beach, in the sea.

We were fortunate to have perfect weather. Working with Simon is a dream.. he is super laid back, we chatted about ideas over a tea at the start of the day.. there was no rushing; everything was at a relaxed pace which gave us time to think things through thoroughly and what order to shoot stuff.. ie. tides / how high the sun was at any given time, etc.

Invited him to stay for pizza at the end of the day.. he really is the nicest guy and delightful company - polite, friendly, chatty.. and is so super keen to continuously better his photography / retouch work. This alone makes him such an appealing photographer to work with.. not a hint of arrogance or anything remotely off-putting.

Simon worked with me again (with Sakura Star) when he had a no-show, and again, was just the best. I literally can't recommend him highly enough and look forward to the next time! Thank you x

I spent today with Simon on his first model shoot. Although new to model photography Simon was extremely respectful, very easy to get on with and good fun to shoot with. The day flew past without a hitch. I would highly recommend Simon to all models be they new or professional. I look forward to working with Simon again in the near future. Thank you for a great day
