Rob has been an absolute pleasure to work with. When he first got in touch with me, I was blown away by his work. And honestly, I felt quite special that he had reached out to me given the beauty of his models.

Speaking on the phone for the first time was pleasant and put me at ease. He was extremely professional, friendly and easy to have a conversation with. He was happy to be flexible along with my work and social commitments.. Plus the dreaded weather, which he kept a keen eye on.

My train arrived, and I was welcomed with a friendly greeting before continuing on our way. The car journey was pleasant; gorgeous views and we had no shortage of conversation which I really enjoyed. He treated me to an absolutely gorgeous bottle of white wine, which always goes down well with me!!

As discussed in our phone conversations prior to the shoot, he came fully prepared with towels, blankets and even a meal deal in case I got hungry! I deeply appreciated this, as it demonstrated that he is thoughtful and caring, and truly appreciates his models.

The shoot itself was brilliant. I absolutely loved it. It was my first nude shoot but it did not take me long to feel at ease. Rob is excellent at direction and it did not take long for us to have an understanding when it came to posing.

I was expecting to be cold at least a little bit, since we were shooting in water, in the UK, in September. But the weather was absolutely perfect, I even got the chance to do a spot of nude sunbathing! By the time the day had come to a close, I was really on a high. It also went by so quickly, I was sad that it had come to an end seemingly so quickly.

Rob is truly a professional in his field, and knows his locations and their particular lighting conditions throughout the day and across the year. I got this impression of him from our very first conversation, but I have to say he only went above and beyond any of my expectations. I look forward to working with him in the very near future :)

I've lost count how many times I shot with Rob now, abroad and in UK, but what I do know is that Rob is a brilliant photographer and a person. He has become a friend over the years, someone I can have a good chat to, as well as get creative with. Rob is caring and supportive, but above all - he is a little bit nuts (in a good way) so we just click. It's a passion to create beautiful art nudes that drives him, and it's very evident in his impressive portfolio of work.

He is meticulous at organising everything from the location, logistics, his tonnes of equipment and everything in-between. He excells in his craft, because he literally puts blood, sweat and (sometimes) tears into it, and this passion is contagious.

I love the locations he picks, he is drawn towards natural beauty and this is another reason his compositions work so well, he takes time to research beauty spots that are both stunning and serene.

I think the work speaks for itself, I've done some of my best work with Rob, we make a great team and even when I'm not feeling or looking my best - he goes out of his way to uplift and capture the beauty that I sometimes fail to see in myself.

As always, highly recommended 😊

I previously shot with Rob back in 2009 and here we are many years later working together again.

We kept in contact and started chatting about doing a waterfall shoot, so I was delighted when both the weather and our availability synced.

Rob was just as much the gentleman as I remembered and it felt like no time had passed at all. He is a lovely guy and made me feel extremely comfortable immediately.

He was very conscious of keeping me warm and comfortable on the day and ensured I wasn't feeling the chill from the water ect.

As for Rob's work, it speaks for itself. He stands out in his field, and I absolutely loved the images that we created, big fan of his work all round and love his style.

I would highly recommend working with Rob if you get the opportunity to, I am looking forward to shooting again in the not so distant future this time! Thanks again Rob.

I had such a brilliant shoot with Rob recently - at an INCREDIBLE waterfall location/s in the Lakes, a place that was remote, blessed with beautiful sunshine, and not a soul in sight. Which was perfect for the watery nude shapes we shot, with a bit of rock sitting, standing in front of the falls & in the water - the shots are just gorgeous!

Rob is excellent at communication, very respectful, very aware of safety, artistic, fantastic artful eye, and funny to chat to - felt totally at ease in the water with him checking in regularly, and enjoyed his company immensely. Would highly recommend to all models!

Thanks again.

Had another fantastic shoot with Rob, but this would be my first in the beautiful lake district – and hopefully not the last!

Rob once again went above and beyond in accommodating me and making sure I was cared for, contented, and ultimately that I was having the best time ever! I’ve shot with Rob on numerous occasions, and he always knows how to make me smile and bring out the best in me. His attention to detail and knowledge of light and composition is truly remarkable and I’m delighted once again by the results. But honestly even if we didn’t shoot at all (not that we could let that happen 😉) I love his engaging, fun and warm company and spending time hiking through the beautiful waterfalls and hills is an experience I’ll never forget.

Thanks again 😊

I had a shoot with Marie Slivers Sy at Robs home studio in Bishop Aukland, he was an excellent host showing me around the two shoot rooms and helping with my gear from the car (i Take to much sometimes ), also making tea and letting me try one of his camera's.

Highly recommend by me .

I stayed a whole week at Rob's for waterfall shoots and studio sessions at his house. I met great photographers and worked with Rob also. As always Rob is definitely careful that you feel very confortable at his house and also that you get everything you need. Loved my pink room by the way. Not only did he show some location to some of the photographers but also discussed the equipment they used and a lot about photography. As always it's a delight to work with my friend Rob. 5 years of shooting, 15 FPI's together. We're indeed a very good team. See him soon ❤️🥰

Second shoot with Rob, and I am so grateful 🙏 to work with such a talented creative, so passionate about his work and so into the details!!

He was incredible hospitable, he cook a special dish, that I love ❤️ on my arrival to his place. Thank you! 🙏

He is always looking out for his models, making sure they are always comfortable and happy! He's a very skilled photographer, knowing the best angles and lighting to compliment his model to her full potential. I got my images back the same day!!! 💖 We had two days shooting in the breathtaking waterfalls and we also did some amazing photos on his studio house. Rob puts 110% into his creative images, flawless!! 100 per cent 💯 recommend him, to any model. Really looking forward to working with Rob again!!

Third shoot now with Rob and they just keep getting better !!!!!

Rob took me on as a model for his Almería trip and I was over the moon , it was my first time shooting abroad and it did not disappoint .

Rob is one of the very few photographers I can without a doubt say works harder the then models , he went above and beyond for this trip ensuring everyone was well looked after with the help of Finn our amazing chef !

He carefully planned the days as we went along to suit the weather, drove us to the most stunning locations and of course took breathtaking images ! All whilst carrying heavy equipment which isn’t easy when walking on rocks , up hills ect …

He ensured everyone was happy and let us rest when needed , although Rob was non stop throughout the trip !

Shortly after my trip to Almeria we planed to work together again as shooting at waterfalls has been on my list for a very long time .

The weather was not working in our favour on the first trip which involved a 3hr drive , we waited around for a while hoping for sun but when that failed Rob was ready with backup and although he loves bright sun I absolutely loved the images we created with cloud cover .

The water was very cold so Rob definitely suffered having to get into the water to get the shots but it definitely paid off .

We got luckier a few days after on our second location thankfully it was a lot warmer as I got got into the waterfall for this , but everything looked incredible im still amazed at the professionalism and attitude Rob has towards for his work

My reference says it all really, it’s a privilege to work with him and I hope we have many more shoots in the future

Rob is just so fucking amazing!!

He hosted me for a couple nights in his (adorable) pink room 💗💗💗

Rob was an excellent host and he took great care to meet my requirements, driving me to and from the station and making sure that I feel comfortable and he was beyond my expectations!!!

His home is a great place to shoot and is completely equipped as a studio, with an amazing assortment of LEDs, studio flashes, props, outfits and everything that you could need.

I recommend Rob 💯, his pictures are so beautiful as you can see in his profile, he is very perfectionist when it comes to his lighting, he gives excellent directions to get the best results!

I am so happy with the results and I can’t wait to shoot with him again. For me he is a 10/10!

He is also fun , friendly, he got a great taste in music, and he is so pleasant to talk with! We did some amazing photos in his house pole, which I totally enjoyed, we did breathtaking photos in a beautiful landscape with waterfalls, we also shoot in his adorable pink room 💓!! He is so passionate about his work!!

Thank you so much Rob!!! 💖

Had another fantastic trip abroad with Rob, thank you for the week of adventure!😊☀️

We were situated in the beautiful and accommodating surroundings of Almeria’s rural countryside, with incredible varied and unique locations all within a short distance away. Rob and Finn are excellent hosts and I soon felt right at home.

We shot in a range of naturally breath-taking sites, including rockpools, sandy beaches, rocky coastlines, ravines and marble quarries (to name but a few).

A day shooting with Rob is always jam-packed and fun. He is caring, highly motivated, passionate with solid technical expertise regarding equipment, composition and light.

I’m constantly impressed by his meticulous planning and eye for detail, he goes above and beyond to make the impossible possible and no stone is left unturned! 😉

I’m so grateful for the amazing experience and look forward to working together again soon. Thanks again!

I would 1000000% recommend Rob to any model! My first shoot with Rob was great. He really takes pride in his work and makes models feel at ease when shooting.

Would love to work with him again in the future!

I've shot with Rob a few times over the years on numerous different projects. Just got back from my first trip away to Futerventura with him! I've never been on a trip away before with a photographer but what an incredible first experience. I would 100% recommend to any other models considering shooting with Rob

Rob hosted a shoot with Archingaimee at his home studio.

Rob was very helpful throughout the shoot with advice on set up and posing Aimee within his studio setting.

The studio itself proved very useful the dance studio with bar worked very well as did the bedroom resulting in a wonderful shoot and soe great images

Wow wow wowwwww!!! First shoot with Rob and what a phenomenal one it was to !

Want to start of by saying Rob is absolutely fantastic not only does he take breathtaking shots but also goes above and beyond for his models and guests.

I contacted Rob originally to apply for his casting for Almeria to which we had a great phone call about , when Rob suggested we do a pre shoot first I was very excited, I’m not sure how I never came across his page before but I’m glad I did .

After chatting we arranged a trip for me to come to Newcastle and shoot , not only did we shoot but he also offered me his home to get extra bookings on my stay there .

Rob made me feel comfortable straight away and picked me up from the airport , he was well stocked up with food I liked and drinks and was so unbelievably accommodating .

We had a day for ourselves to shoot at his wonderful home which was a great place for a huge variety of shots , we started with some natural lighting with bright sun , Rob showed me the shots as we went along, I knew from seeing the back of the camera we would have so many great ones .

After this we moved on to do some very glam shots on his bed setup , he made sure the lighting was perfect and we shot different variations of coloured lights which worked really well and of course finished things off with his new pole and ballet bar setup.

I had such a wonderful time , I must mention robs awesome taste in music to which topped things off !!

A very very high recommendation from me !!

Very excited to create more images in Almeria

5 starts !!!

Thank you for your trust and time and energy you put into things !

Rob is great!

He hosted me for a couple nights in his (adorable) pink room, and I also shot with him yesterday. Pre-comms were great and I had a good idea on the kind of vibe he was looking to get, but my gosh - the images and ideas were even better than expected!

Rob has a large shoe selection, and nice accessories etc to choose from so it kinda felt like Christmas being able to choose through them. His lighting and all is spot on, and the different rooms allow for absolutely awesome vibes - I especially loved his barre and pole set up!

Rob was very accommodating and friendly, and I felt comfortable straight away ☺️ he was making sure I was kept happy and was on it straight away if I needed anything.

Absolutely obsessed with the pics, and can’t wait to create more magic again in the future! 10/10

I had an amazing first shoot with Rob at his home studio. Pre communications were excellent and the shoot was swiftly arranged. Upon arrival, Rob instantly made me feel at ease and comfortable. He was chatty and friendly and gave great direction to achieve great images. The time simply flew by and I couldn't be happier with the results. I look forward to working with Rob again in Spain 😊 I highly recommend him!

Been wanting to work with Rob for a long time now and we finally got around to shooting Saturday and it was such a fantastic shoot.

Rob is so friendly and gives off the most chill and amazing vibes making you feel super comfortable throughout the whole shoot.

He is extremely easy to talk too and so complimentary which I love as it really helps to hear the photographer is happy during shooting :D

The shoot was so easy flowing and the time just disappears!

He is very perfectionist when it comes to his lighting and I'm sure his work shows that as it is always spot on.

I think out of all the many images we took I loved 90% of them and that made choosing favourites feel impossible! He does not take a bad picture!

I also got to use his latest addition to his home studio which was a pole and dance themed corner and it was wonderful!!

I am so happy I got to meet and work with Rob and very much look forward to the next time. Highly recommend, thank you Rob!
