So our story continues, me and Russ attended the Woodchester mansion shoot and heck was it a good day- well actually it was great.

After an 8am pick up and a 2 and a half hour drive me and Russ shot through this beautiful old mansion for the day and we produced some brilliant images which I won't ever forget.

As always Russ was on time, professional, fun and easy going. Preparing me with great communication skills and knowledge so I knew exactly what to expect and what I needed to bring. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with him and in honesty I always do he is so laid back but knew exactly what he wanted to get from the day which is always a big help yet he let's me pose with ease when I want to.

I will obviously be shooting with Russ again as it's always a pleasure, we created some amazing images and have such fun days out.

Thanks Russ. For a great time!

Look forward to planning more in the future.

Words can't explain how much I enjoy shooting with Russ, but our images say it all. We work extremely well together, he creates outstanding images and being our fith shoot together speaks volumes. I am always keen to get on the camera and be checking out the great images we produce.

He knows how I like my images to be created, what poses suit me best and lets me pose freely without making me feel pressured into to much direction.

I am excited to see our final results and can't wait for our big shoot in Woodchester mansion in a few weeks time. Thanks again Russ.

So much fun and much more to come!

Russ is a true gent!

We made our way to Northington Grange for a fashion style shoot which Russ very kindly drove me too!

The location was perfect, so much variation and opportunity to be had there! We had a few outfit changes and different looks, from bright sunshine to less when the sun started to go down.

Russ is friendly and relaxed and I had a really enjoyable shoot. Very much looking forward to seeing the images!

I'm sure it won't be our last :-)

Thanks again Russ!

Having not long come back from my Berkshire tour I had a second chance to work with Russ and of course I snapped it up. This time we were shooting at Map Studios and it was great to work in a different environment with him.

He arrived on time, even after having a fair drive to get there, and was ready to shoot promptly. As always working with Russ is very easy and he had a good idea of what we would shoot. He had good understanding of the lighting and studio equipment too.

He gives great direction where needed but also allowed me to do my own thing. It felt like we were really able to work as a team and it was great fun. He even brought some fab props and items to use.

As I have said before he comes highly recommended! Thanks, once again for a great shoot. It was a total blast.

I was so pleased to finally get the chance to work with Russ while down on my Berkshire tour. When I first came across his portfolio I knew we just had to work together.

His communications were great and we had a clear plan for the day's different locations, shooting art nude. From the moment we met I felt comfortable and confident. He is very approachable and easy to talk to. His knowledge of the locations was great, and his careful planning made sure I stayed warm and fed throughout the day.

Thanks to his offer of driving us around, we managed to visit a great variety of locations throughout the day, and with his professional approach to his work, the shoots flowed easily. He allowed me to pose freely but gave great direction on his ideas too. We laughed and chatted our way through the day and the time flew by.

I can highly recommend Russ to any model new or experienced at art nude.

Thanks so much for a great day! It was a blast and I hope we get to work together again in the future.

What can I say about my first shoot with Russ? Well, it was an absolute pleasure! Russ turned up on time, with everything that he needed and a polite, professional, friendly manner, which always goes down well. A true gentleman. We got on very well from the off and I really did enjoy working with him. We bounced ideas around nicely and worked together well to achieve some great shots.

I highly recommend working with Russ if you get the chance.

I had had a wonderful shoot with Russ! He had lots of ideas for some really great shots, he is very friendly and brought hot drinks to keeps us warm despite the cold weather. He was also very accommodating when I asked to reschedule our original date for the shoot.

I'd highly recommend working with him as it was an absolute pleasure and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Thank you.

Had my second shoot with Russ on Sunday along with his photography friend John and Steph Easter (another model). Last time we shot was 3 years ago and certainly not leaving it that long again.

Russ is so much fun to be around and to shoot with. Really started our day with a lot of laughs.

Russ always remains professional but knows how to have fun and he is a great photographer with lots of crazy ideas. Lol!

Thank you so much and hop to work with you again soon

Had an amazing shoot with Russ last week, we went to the beautiful railway arches for our first part. I'd previously looked at his work here before and was so happy to get a chance to shoot there and it was a complete surprise :)

After we went to hope gap, it was a beautiful day and the view was incredible. We got some really flattering shots and as always Russ was a complete gentleman. Conversation was great and we had a fab time, he even supplied the coffee :)

I love shooting with Russ and can't recommend him enough! Shame we didn't get to do everything we planned but just means we'll have to book in another - Can't wait for the next one ! Thank you x

Russ is a lovely fellow, we had a shoot this morning at a rather haunting derelict site - unfortunately, they have started the demolition and upped the security but, despite these obstacles, we got in and shot for a couple of hours! Russ was very friendly, polite and enthusiastic, gave fab direction, made sure I kept warm (it was a wee bit chilly and damp!), and fed me Jaffa cakes. What a lovely man! And an awesome photographer. I highly recommend working with Russ, can't wait to work with him again myself!

I had the pleasure of working with RussB at the West Hoathly Charity shoot. It was my first day modelling and he was brilliant. He made me feel at home and took some incredible shots! Great communication throughout the whole process and with some helpful advice to :)

I had a surprise second shoot with Russ at a charity event group shoot on the weekend, when I was a last minute addition to the group. We didn't get to communicate in advance, as I was there as a last minute replacement, but we got to make use of a great location on our impromptu shoot, and the photo results that he kindly showed me on the back of his camera looked awesome. :) I hope we will work together again. Highly recommended. :)

Another Fab location? YES

Excellent comms? YES

Do I still enjoy working with Russ? Of COURSE!

It's always a pleasure to work with Russ and he just keeps on giving to our shoots. We are well into our double figures now and I cannot wait until our next one. Russ is a very caring guy and was making sure I was comfortable through out the whole shoot and even though we have become friends he still remembers his manners and shooting etiquette.

If you get the chance to shoot with him then take it! It's fab working with Russ!

I worked with Russ on my tour of the south, he picked me up which was lovely of him to do so, Russ had sourced some amazing locations, some of the best locations I've had the pleasure of working at! we started at a old disused private school which was not short of amazing! I haven't had chance to go through our pictures yet but I know we have some crackers from what I saw on the back of the camera!

Russ is a lovely genuinely nice man, he was polite and professional throughout the shoot, and always a gentleman :)

I can highly recommend russ to work with and you wont be disappointed if you do!

all the best viv

I have shot with Russ on numerous amount of occasions now and every single shoot has been great.

Russ has always provided me with a professional but fun shoot, with amazing images to follow (even on a paid shoot!!) He has provided lunch and transport on every shoot and can not fault him.

I wouldn't ever say I have a favorite photographer, but we have had some amazing shoots, and can honestly say I would have him shoot all my work if possible.

A great friend aswell as a great photographer.

thanks Russ. xxx
