Had my second shoot with Russ yesterday due to me asking for a last minute shoot and he was available. We managed to do a few different sets within the couple of hours that we had and it was great to catch up since the group shoot earlier in the month.

Russ is professional, chatty and thinks outside of the box which is what I really like about him and his work! Can't wait to see the images and I'm already looking forward to working with him more in the future.

Thanks for a great shoot :) x

Today was my second shoot with Russ and it was such a fun afternoon.

Me and Russ shot together a few years ago and just recently got back in contact. His communication is always good , he arrived on time and he was just as friendly as always . Wonderful company.

He directed well and showed me the images as we were creating them and they looked incredible.

I would recommend Russ to anyone and I look forward to the next time we shoot together

I had a great time with Russ. This was our second together and it was excellent. We had two different locations and we created some amazing images. I cannot wait to see and add to my portfolio.

Russ was an absolute gentleman. He was kind and considerate, as well as funny. I would highly recommend him and I hope to work with him again in the future.

He was my second photographer on a group shoot - and one of the shoots that I was looking forward to the most!

Before the shoot he messages me with ideas that suited me and my styling, also with reference images from previous years. This was super helpful to me!

Throughout the shoot he was friendly, encouraging and full of ideas and suggestions. He also let me loose around the farm too, as I demanded he photographs me on a old dump truck - oh the glamour! Haha.

I really had a wonderful time with Russ, I am so looking forward to seeing his images and to hopefully working with him again in the future!

Russ is a great photographer and a gentleman. I enjoyed my shoot with him on Sunday. We did a mixture of fashion lingerie and art nude. It was great fun and I loved every minute of it.

The proofs looked great and I cannot wait to see the finalised images. I look forward to working with Russ again.

I worked with Russ at a charity group shoot over the weekend and we had various ideas beforehand which were discussed, we decided to go with a bit of lingerie as well as some art nude and I got to work with some Isis wings which was challenging at first but once I got the hang of them it was great and I love the images that have come out from them!

Russ is very professional, always happy to give his own input and ideas as well as getting my own ideas as well. I had a great time and would highly recommend Russ to anyone thinking of working with him.

Thanks again! :D

This is my 4th time shooting with russb, and what can I say that hasn’t been said before?

Russ is an absolutely amazing guy, so very chatty, always makes me laugh and have fun whilst shooting.

Russ had some great ideas as we was shooting in the barn and we shot from fashion to nude and all the pictures looked amazing back of camera!

I always recommend Russ b he’s a gem to work with!

Russ is a fabulous dude!! [Insert very happy emoji wearing sunglasses]

We had a very wonderfully enjoyable and productive shoot at a sensational location (scouted by Russ) during my latest tour of the South: and better still, weather wise we were so truly blessed that day! The location was out of this world and a true "Keira playground!" :P Russ has an exceptional eye for cool places to make pictures and we got a mix of absolutely gorgeous images done. Russ did an unquestionably amazing job of wrestling with the harsh light to make quality pictures out of the conditions. It can be tricky, especially when you've got a such pale model who literally does a better job of reflecting the light than an actual reflector plus sparkly garments. He rocked it, and worked the angles like a boss too... I just did my thing and clambered around the place whilst Russ through no end of awesome suggestions and ideas in the mix followed by capturing a stunning picture from the set. :)

The shoot wasn't always smooth sailing (not down to us in anyway) but down to one of the typically standard challenges that you get faced with from time to time when shooting on location. PEOPLE. What was usually a lovely quite and peaceful location with few people normally going there was quite busy and popular with families and teens on the day due to the great weather etc. But Russ was totally understanding and we shot some exceptional clothed images when the circumstances didn't allow for nudes... Even developing a fan club! Russ is very aware and respectful of making his models feel comfortable and I cannot stress this enough. Regardless of the shoot plan/goal, he will put models wellbeing and comfort first which is the sign of a true professional person. Sometimes you have to improvise and that's just what comes with location work... But we made it a blast regardless! :)

Communications were always absolutely fantastic from the start: I was very tied up with coordinating my travel plans for the tour and making sure it would all fit nicely so Russ was a huge hep with his swift and concise communications. He's a real gentleman and you get this from the very start of shoot discussions. We also had a great laugh on the shoot and chatted loads which always works wonders for forming an amazingly enjoyable rapport with teamwork. :) Part of the reason for doing the job is getting ace working relationships rolling and having lots of "high-five" moments. This shoot was exactly that and better!

Thank you so much Russ!

Only me again lol 😉

Well what can I say about my dear friend Russ. We’ve shot so many times now I’m running out of words of appraisal about him .

I’ll start by opening up a box fireworks 🎆 🎇 🔥 🔥💥💥💥and crack open couple of bottles of champagne 🍾 🍾 🥂 🥂 to celebrate our umpteenth shoot together . It certainly was a shoot to celebrate as we totally smashed our shoot again . With my case of bits and bobs and Russ’s camera 📷 we created some cracking images. What I saw at the back of the camera I was extremely happy 😊.

Russ took me miles away near Oxfordshire to 2 fantastic locations. They certainly had a wow factor about them . The outfits I brought I don’t think I wore more than 2 lol. Being a nude addict it’s hard to keep me dressed so most photographers say lol 😂😊😉.

I absolutely loved our trip together as always. The weather was with us to so I got to sit amongst the flowers to capture something different that I’d not really shot before 😊.

I absolutely love working with Russ. I also love being his muse too. So we bang our ideas together and the ideas all work which is great 👍.

Russ is a dear friend to me as well as being a fantastic photographer. A gentleman and a wine drinker not a scholar lol haha . Oops Russ hee hee 😂😂. We’ve booked another 2 shoots in so I wonder where Russ will be taking me next time . Woo 😊.

Now for the last bit of my weird and wonderful reference 😊😊👍👍😉😉

Had my first shoot with Russ, picked me up from the railway station and dropped back there all to plan.

Very relaxed and easy going shoot, couple of minor interuptions, but nothing to get phased by. Totally enjoyable shoot.

Love to work with Russ again in the future.

Boom 💥 tastic another successful shoot with my dear friend Russ. 😊. I think that’s 11 shoots we bagged . As per usual pre shoot comms are excellent. Russ does make me laugh so much when we’re exchanging messages about our shoots.

I’m happy to say our shoot was very productive, funny and super cool 😎

Russ has great knowledge of superb locations. This time round he took me to the seaside and a church ruin. I absolutely loved the beach as it was so hot . I managed to sit on the crest of the waves without the big buggers dragging me into the rough seas. I must admit I was scared as I have a big fear of water , I did try and get Russ’ shoes wet . But he wasn’t having it lol 😂.

We then drove to a beautiful ruined church. I surprised myself I wanted to do some sets with clothes on for a change . I thought Russ was going to faint haha . As I normally want to get me kit off ASAP. It was such a beautiful location. The sun was shining so we decided to capture dappled lighting sets too. I absolutely love working with Russ. He’s a very dear friend of mine . So it’s akways a pleasure to see him 😊. I’m happy with some edits I’ve had back from Russ. Right enough of my ramblings.

Now for the last bit of my ref . I think last bit is very apt lol 😂😂

Had such an amazing shoot with Russ today.

He picked me up from my house and took me to the studio and back again.

He also came with a lot of outfits for me to model in (more then I had)

We had such a good shoot I would love to shoot with him again.

Definitely recommend to all models.

I organised a shoot for Silver and Russ attended the morning session. Russ is a very easy going guy and worked well with Silver and the other photographers joining us. Thoroughly recommended.

Chelz is that incredibly crazy chick☯️☯️☯️☯️

Firstly let’s celebrate 🎉🎉🎉🎉 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂, I’ve got the greatest pleasure in leaving Russ his 100th reference. 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🥂🥂🥂🥂.

We smashed our 10th shoot today . Our shoots are just getting better and better . The loves and feedback where getting on our with is phenomenal 😊😉.

We started where we left of with some more low key with new props etc .

Russ and I had discussed other ideas for the rest of our shoot. So in came Russ with a few bags full of goodies for us to use as well as a few backdrops .

We divided what were the best ideas to do first as time was passing by so quickly . Apparently I was keeping Russ from using his camera due to us chatting lol 😂. No surprise there eh. I always get the blame 😉. What I saw at the back of the camera I was wowing and grinning from ear to ear as we nailed it with every set we did . I’m very very happy with the finished edits 😊

Our pre shoot comes are always so funny . I absolutely love working with Russ . He’s a very dear friend of mine . I’d be lost without him as I’d have no one to take me out on location . Well when it’s warmer .

Russ is a real gentleman, a professional photographer and a fantastic location finder . On that note I must now leave this 😉

Had my second shoot with the lovely Russ,

We originally planned to shoot at a studio but unfortunately fell through.

Not to worry as we made a back up plan,

When we arrived at the studio after me getting us lost sorry for that!

We worked through many sets and had a good laugh and the shoot flowed!

Love working with Russ!

Highly recommend
