I had a great time working with bill during my 1-1 studio day at red dawn studio in Aberdeen. He showed up on time and ready to shoot. He had some ideas he wanted to work on and was really good at directing me. I really enjoyed myself and I love the images he has uploaded. I would recommend him to everyone and hope we get to shoot together in the future. Thanks for a great shoot.

It was just awesome to finally get the chance to work with the wonderful Bill! :D We has spoke about doing so on a couple of occasions prior to securing our first shoot and dates just didn’t quite match/work out. But we didn’t give up... And during my latest tour of Scotland, we made it happen. And the epic-ness was bouncing around the room. Such a fantabulous half day packed with inspiration of all kinds working from the brilliant (and newly renovated) Red Dawn studio. Was it worth the wait? You bet! :D

Bill was a star from the very initiation of us working together. His communication was flawless and we chatted about precise styles that he wanted to try, and subsequent outfits to bring. One style that we would work quite largely with was latex. And since it does take that bit more prep and care often to achieve the best out of it, the pre-shoot discussions were very valuable to ensuring we got some cracking images filled with sass and vibrancy. :) Other styles we shot included art nude shapes and AMAAAAZING shoes from the studios stash... Bill has a wicked eye for picking out cool stuff to incorporate into the pictures, all of which reflects the overall care and attention that he puts into his photography to achieve quality results. :) The back of the camera was absolutely smokin!! Not a stone was left unturned to take every set to its optimum; as a photographer - Bill is technically aware with a fine eye for perfection. At one stage we had Doug at the studio balancing on a stepladder and letting party poppers off whilst Bill timed the shot with exact precision to catch the confetti... In another set Bill was sprawled on the floor to get the better angle of my pose. He puts total energy into his work, and I can tell you first-hand: it pays off.

Stunningly-magic images aside... Bill is a true gentleman! He was chilled-out and easy-going to work with, his nature is super upbeat and really fun to be around which makes way for a whole lot of fun to be had while you work. :P The cuppa’s were regular, and the pace: relaxed. We chatted just as much as we took pictures and hit off a really lovely rapport to ride off, bouncing ideas around. I cannot stress enough how highly Bill respects the models he books and how totally at ease anyone would feel working with him. His courtesy levels and etiquette are just sublime and he’s a genuinely nice person through-and-through. Even Doug the studio owner had no-end of good things to say about Bill before Bill and I had met. :)

Do I recommend this gent? Oh bucket-loads! What a corker of a shoot that was, and providing Bill is crazy enough: I would be jumping to shoot with him again! :D

Thank you so much, you’re a true star!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Bill for the first time recently driving up to his area in Aberdeenshire with my partner to shoot in Bills home studio space doing some artistic nude and latex styles. He has a wicked set up and there was a little changing area for me to put my case and do my hair and makeup which was perfect, also the place was so cosy.

Bill is such a gentleman, a lovely person and so friendly, his communications leading up to our shoot were excellent and during our shoot he was great at giving direction leaving me freedom to pose at random also. We had a blast of a shoot resulting in some superb images.

He even made us some sandwiches and my partner Stuart kept us filled with coffee. Such a welcoming person and a wonderful photographer.

Do not miss a shoot with Bill, I highly recommend him to all creatives. You will have a great time and leave with a smile. Bill was so organised, professional and our conversation flowed resulting in a nice smooth session that went so quickly.

Thank you Bill,

I look forward to next time.

Aurora :)

I worked with Bill for the first time today and I have to say he was very clear on the ideas he wanted to go for including the styles and poses and discussed it prior to shooting! He is a lovely, easy going guy and I felt completely at ease around him. I would highly recommend Bill to any model, starting out or experienced! Look forward to our next shoot :) xx

Another opportunity to work with Bill and like the first time working together he was an absolute joy to work with. This time we undertook some location shots in chilly highland locations and then some with Bill's Scooter Club. Once again an absolute pleasure, a true professional, great team work and first class communication. I very highly recommend him to all and look forward to working together again hopefully soon. Thank you Bill xx

I had a great first shoot with Bill at Red Dawn studio in Aberdeen. He's friendly, chatty, great fun to work with and as he had many ideas beforehand I knew exactly what to bring and what images he wanted to get. The time absolutely flew and I definitely recommend him!

I had the opportunity to work with Bill on a 2 hour studio shoot at Red Dawn. And what a brilliant photographer to work with. First class communication from the outset and throughout and I felt comfortable the minute we met and throughout the whole shoot. A total joy to work with and we worked well together to produce a lovely set of images. A true professional with great banter and ideas. I VERY highly recommend him to everyone and look forward to working with him again, hopefully soon! Thanks again Bill x
