It was a pleasure to meet and work with Russ in Aberdeen after a while!

Russ is an experienced photographer and I've been always sure we could create great images. His hospitality was perfect and I really appreciated it.

I'm very pleased with the photos and looking forward to have a chance to work together again.

Highly recommended!

Many thanks.

Russ was all about making it work! I did ask him the difficult task to do night photography with little to no equipment, and he didn't give up until we made it work.

It was a pleasure to work with Russ and do recommend working with him if you get a chance! A pleasant company as well as a professional photographer who puts you in the forefront of his focus. Very nice to meet you Russ!

So happy I had the pleasure of working with this gentleman. The studio was a dream to be in and the photos are of an incredible standard even before edit.

The photos he delivered immediately and some edits came through within days.

He had great communication with me prior to the shoot and kept in contact up till the day checking in. Was comfortable and he also helped with direction where required. Would deffo recommend and work with again.

The Factory

Russ visited The Factory on Easter Sunday and I was not present to meet him this time but we chatted a few times and his communication was 'Spot on' . He treated the studio with respect and left spotless. Hope to meet another time.

I had a fabulous shoot with Russ, the atmosphere was very laid back and he was great fun to shoot with and very creative. He even gave me his sandwich when I was hungry, what a gentleman! 😊

We worked well together, he picked a great location and knew what he wanted from the shoot

Hopefully we can work together again in the future

Just had our first shoot with Russel yesterday, pre comms were really good. Rus is such a lovely bloke, the entire shoot went smoothly and the atmosphere was really relaxed, yet he was very efficient. He knows what he wants to get from the shot and is great at giving directions, which I really appreciated. 10/10 definitely recommend 🙌🏻

Russ is such a lovely guy.

This was my 2nd shoot with Russ and he once again delivered with some really awesome shots. We had a laugh, we discussed all things photography and more. He allowed for me to have a chaperone which is always a green flag and same as the previous shoot I got to see the images on a laptop before I left the shoot.

Not only is Russ a great photographer and highly professional, you can really class him as a friend. Can’t wait for our next shoot!

Had a great first shoot with Russ. We had a lot of contact prior to shooting and Russ was very friendly and made me feel at ease when I arrived.

He had great ideas for the shoot, gave guidance when required and together we got some amazing images.

Got some images straight away which was amazing. Can’t wait to go through the rest.

Would definitely recommend, I hope to shoot again sometime!

What can I say about Russel..?

From the moment he greeted me he was full of vibrant and positive energy which welcomed me straight away!

He is an incredibly experienced and creative photographer and this absolutely showed when shooting together today. My first shoot (and hopefully not my last!) took place in Russel's home which has a variety of different retro moods.

After out shoot we sat together and went through different images that we both liked. I was offered refreshments throughout the shoot and was made to feel so comfortable.

I couldn't recommend Russel enough!

Thank you again for a fabulous shoot and your wonderful music, until next time!❤️

Russ drove down all the way from Aberdeen to join us for a studio day yesterday with PP: KarrenaX, and PP CQH. Pre shoot coms. Were excellent with numerous phone calls planning the event. He turned up early after a very early morning start to get down to us.

We had a fantastic shoot which was fun, full of creativity, energy, and the all-important positive vibes that my project is based on. Russ entered-into the spirit of this project to the maximum and embodied everything about the ethos of what the project is all about.

He is friendly, open, positive, creative, sharing, patient and has a great positive attitude and energy that helped drive the shoot forward in the best possible way.

We shot digital, and on medium format film with a Hasselblad C500, and Mamiya RZ67, (both beautiful cameras), and a Minolta 35mm, courtesy of Russ. It was great to shoot on film again, looking forward to seeing the results when they come back from the lab. (Fingers crossed).

He is clearly very passionate about what he does bringing three different vintage film cameras (above), with him as well as his digital. He has a purist approach, and you only have to look at his profile to see that he is a prolific shooter dedicating much time to capture images at every available opportunity.

Both girls found him very easy, comfortable, professional and fun to work with, which is absolutely no surprise as he has such an open, genuine and professional approach to what he does.

Vey highly recommended for models looking for an open, honest, creative, no-nonsense photographer that is absolutely passionate about his photography in the most refreshing way.

I have already invited Russ back to come and shoot with us whenever he likes, as he is a perfect candidate for the philosophy of the uniqueness of my project. Positive vibes and Good Karma all the way, and it will be an absolute pleasure to host him here again and hope to have him back here as soon as our schedules allow.

Thank you so much for bringing all your positive vibes, (and vintage treasures), down from Aberdeen to shoot with us. I really look forward to our next session.

I had a studio day with Russel yesterday. He was very professional, creative, friendly and has a clear passion for photography. We were able to capture various styles/looks across various cameras with Russel giving great direction. I have already received several edits/images from the shoot and couldn't be happier with the results. Would love to work with him again and would highly recommend to any model/photographer looking to collaborate/work with him. Thanks again! C X
