A great first shoot with Russ! He was warm, friendly and engaging. He came prepared with some fun ideas and outfits and we had a brilliance and creative couple of hours working through them.

A very professional photographer and a lovely person. Highly recommend!

A great shoot with Russ, he turned up on time, with great ideas and we had such a fun shoot!

He visited me on my London tour, was very easy to communicate with pre comms and on the shoot was great to bounce ideas off.

The pictures also look great!

Would 100% recommend to anyone else!

I had an excellent second time shooting with Russ! This time a solo shoot at my home location.

Once again Russ was a pleasure to work with. He arrived punctually, was warm and friendly and was so easy to work with.

The shoot time absolutely flew by which is always a good sign! We covered a range sets/styles and Russ made good use of the different areas of the space.

We got some fantastic results and it was a really enjoyable shoot!

A true gent and so easy going,

Thank you for a lovely shoot.

Highly recommended!

I had a pleasure to work with Russ on the group shoot in loft studio and I really enjoyed it!

Russ was very professional, respectful and friendly

He took some amazing images and I really hope to shoot with him again, highly recommended!

Russ has previously been to our studio but it was for one of JD lighting tuitions. This was Russ' first time at one of our mini group shoots.

We really do appreciate Russ travelling so far to our studio, even though he was under the weather.

Russ communicated well with our model, Martina and was respectful at all times.

BOC images looked great and hopefully we'll see some edits posted soon.

Russ is highly recommended to all and hope to see him at our events again.

Many thanks for your support.

Had my first 1-1 shoot with Russ after shooting with him previously at group events. He was kind enough to offer to pick me up to go to Two Wei - as I am not a fully fledged driver yet. Russ was polite and professional and fun to work with. He had plenty of ideas but was also happy to collaborate when I thought of a potential shot. We shot for 6 hours but the time flew by, even when slightly chilly.

He was considerate of my needs throughout and his comms were great (much better than mine, since I had been run off my feet!).

A fabulous shoot and would recommend!!

Russ is one of my favourite people to shoot with, we get along like a house on fire. He's a great photographer and great company so I was ecstatic to finally do a shoot at Gloucester Ghoul.

As usual we had way more ideas and props than needed but I gues we'll just have to book another one in!

That was probably one of the best shoots we've done together and I can't wait to see the edits. It will probably take me an age to pick a few favourites so watch this space for...a while :D

Can't recommend Russ (and Gloucester Ghoul as a location) enough. Always highly recommend. Until next time!

I'm super lucky to get to shoot with my friend Russ, not once but twice this summer at 2 very cool locations!

I'm really looking forward to where next as I know it'll be a fab shoot as shown by our previous record of shoots over the 10 years. What better way for me to start a studio day than with a shoot with Russ, Always makes it the perfect day.

I very highly recommend him just like i've been saying for all these years, shoot with him you won't be disappointed!

My first shoot on dry land with Russ at The Attice Studio and I had a lovely time. He was just as professional, polite and plesant as I remembered and allowed the perfect mix of flow posing and direction to perfect.

He knew exactly how to direct and capture shots that made the most of my outfit choices and body type and clearly has a fabulous eye for great images.

I look forward to the next time and would recommend!

We were planning to shoot for a while with Russ, and finally got the chance to! Pre coms were great, Russ is down to earth, professional,gentleman and he made me feel comfortable straight away. He is such a creative photographer, as he had so many artistic ideas for posing, props,camera angles everything was to the best standard. I was impressed with the pictures we got. Highly recommend

10 years! like 10 whole years of shooting with Russ. If that doesn't say something then I have no idea what will. Yet another new location and it was fab as always.

A day out with Russ is a day well spent!

I'm making this short and sweet as all the references over these years still stand true. I love our shoots and look forward to many more including our next one already booked in.

I very highly recommend him!

Russ' first visit to Two Wei but after the tuppenny tour he settled right in. Russ is very polite, friendly and easy to get along with. He worked very well and professionally with his model and together we believe they captured some great images.

We have no hesitation in recommending Russ to any studio or model that he wishes to work with as he is a true pleasure to host. Thanks for making the long journey to get here Russ and we hope to see you again in the future :)

Another wonderful shoot with Russ at Aura studios on Friday. Time always flies- maybe 4 hours isn't enough as we always get so carried away with aerial that we forget about other stuff we wanted to try until last minute. Always reccommend Russ as a photographer, he has a great eye behind the camera and is excellent company

Russ asked me to attend the Dorchester prison event and we had a great shoot! Russ’s pre comms were great he let me know times and offered to give me lifts to the venue. Having worked with Russ before I knew we would achieve some great images. Russ had lots of ideas for the day and made use of the space shooting in lots of different rooms and corridors of the prison. He came prepared and brought tea and snacks which was nice as the prison was very cold! I look forward to to working with him in the future snd highly recommend!

RussB came to a tankspace studio day that I was booked to be a model on!

I wasn’t able to interact that much as I was under water for the most of it!

The day went smoothly and all the photographers that attended were lovely and amazing I hope

To see you at the next one 💖

Halo Haynes

Had my first shoot with Russ at Tankspace as part of a group event and found him to be really easy to get along with and work with and super polite and nice. His portfolio pictures are lovely so I'm sure that he will have got some super shots and is somebody I would happily work with again, as it was so easygoing and professional!

Thank you and lets hope our paths cross again :)

First time ever working with russ. He originally booked time on my studio day that I was holding at a local studio. Unfortunately the owner and his family tested positive for covid so we couldn’t shoot there. Luckily I was staying with a photographer and he offered for us to use his home as a base to shoot from. It wasn’t ideal but we still had a great shoot and got plenty lovely photos. I hope we get to work together again soon. Thanks a lot for a great shoot.

Russ attended myself and Roxy’s duo tour and we had a really enjoyable shoot!

Russ arrived on time, was friendly and full of energy. We shot both solo and duo and managed to cover a range of sets in the 2hr time slot.

He was very enthusiastic, easy to work with and had plenty of great ideas.

Thanks again Russ for a great shoot!

Third time shooting with Russ was a pleasure as always. He always pulls through with finding amazing studios, kindly picked me up from the station and drove us 2 hours to the amazing Studio Fifty Eight in Kettering where he humoured my upside down antics on various pieces of aerial equipment as well as artsy art nude and lingerie. Picking my favourite photos is once again going to take forever because they're all so bloody stunning! Highly recommend Russ as a photographer- he's very creative, puts a lot of thought into the structure of the shoot and is all round great company.
