Would I recommend Russ? 100%!

Such a lovely bloke who was super friendly and warm from the get go.

Russ made me feel at ease and I love how he shows the images he’s taken straight after pressing that button which helps as a model because I can see if I need to change positioning ect.

Russ even helped me with my own camera as I’m wanting to get into photography. He sat and let me watch how he edits his photos and I even got 3 edited images back just before I left the shoot.

Book a shoot with Russ now! You won’t be disappointed

Had an awesome first shoot with Russ at his house today. He offered to pick me up and drop me off, offered food and drink (always a plus!) and was very chatty. I quickly felt comfortable in his company. We shot TF, lingerie/art nude and Russ was great with direction and very careful to pay attention to details. He even showed me how he would edit the photos, and edited several for me there and then so I could post them on my social media immediately. Russ clearly has a huge passion for photography and went out of his way to welcome me. I would definitely recommend working with him to other models. Look forward to the next shoot.

Had a great first shoot with Russ up in his home in Aberdeen. Lovely retro feel about it.

Great guy, nice and chatty. Has a great set up. Knows what he's looking for and gets the shots 👌.

Sent me through a great selection of images and quickly!

Look forward to shooting with him again in the future.

Thanks again.

I had a last minute shoot with russ yesterday. He was so lovely and welcoming. He invited me in and we had a coffee and a tour. We then got to shooting and he was showing me the images as we went along. He helped me with various poses and ideas which was amazing. We then finished up with some homemade soup while he went through some pictures and edited some there and then while I was with him and I got to go home with around 11 edits! I am so impressed with the quality of his work and how fast I got the pictures. It’s such a shame russ is moving next week but I wish him the best of luck and it was an absolute pleasure working with him

Russ was kind enough to host a shoot day at his lovely home for myself and 3 other photographers working with 2 amazing models today.

Russ was an excellent host, extremely accommodating,very knowledgeable and helpful with placement and lighting setups and kept us supplied with tea, biscuits and fed us some lovely homemade soup.

A proper gentleman, THANK YOU!!

I had the pleasure of attending a shoot hosted by Russ at his home, he is very helpful and knowledgeable, always ready to suggest what works well with lighting etc and had a constant supply of tea and biscuits. A great host and top guy, thanks Russ.

An awesome second shoot with Russel at his home studio! He really knows his stuff when it comes to working the angles and lighting perfectly to set the scene for some cool shots. A genuine fella, Russel’s friendly personality and great banter will make anyone feel welcome. After a long break to have my third baby, I really appreciated his helpful direction to get me back in the swing of it. Overall, a fun and productive collaboration. Thanks Russel, I can’t wait to show off our pics 😊

Amazing first shoot with Russ, can highly recommend him! We shot at his home which is by far the most fabulous location I've ever shot in - every corner is beautiful and an opportunity for a great photo.

Russ was brilliant and highly professional, great with direction and had super ideas plus he was very open to my suggestions and making them work. He very kindly shared his superb chicken broth after our shoot and had a great turnaround time (instant lol) on my pics.

We created some of the best photos I've had to date (he's a star finding the best angles!) and I hope I get a chance to shoot with him again.

I has an amazing shoot with russ yesterday. He was so open, nice, friendly and respectful! Even though the shoot was cut short due to the horrible weather i still throughly enjoyed it! The photos are amazing, and were sent back really fast, and he edited so many. They are absolutely gorgeous! He's been a pleasure to work with and so professional. He kept checking his camera to check how the photos were coming out which was amazing to see! I'm looking forward to my next shoot with russ,

Rebecca

Had another great shoot with Russ today!

As always he took many nice images and I love loads of them.

Also, he sent all images straight away and sent many edited images a few hours after the shoot.

Working with Russ is very easy and also fun.

I recommend him to any experienced or new model to work with.

Russel was amazing and a true gentleman. I can highly recommend him for his professionalism and being a perfectionist in his photography. He checked all images to confirm he was happy with it and he also gave me good direction when required. I felt instantly at ease with him and his home. My partner was also welcomed into his home and I will definitely want to meet again ASAP. He has edited a good number of images already and is happy to do more as and when I pass him the choices.

Had another amazing shoot with Russ tonight.

As always we tried some different ideas that totally worked out.

I love working with Russ, he’s easy going, it’s always relaxed and we get the best images.

If you haven’t worked with him yet I highly recommend that you do!

Just had my first home shoot with Russ he was kind enough to travel to me. It was a quick home shoot and all went well, Russ was lovely and chatty, he is able to work quick given the short time we had and saw some nice results from the back of the camera. Overall a pleasant experience and a lovely chappy, would happily recommend to others 😊

I’ve just got back from my second shoot with Russ and to say I’m happy with the photos is an understatement. Russ is a true gent and I felt very at home from the second I arrived. Russ is very patient and gives clear direction but also let me have some input too. We rearranged furniture and russ tried different types of shots and experimented with different angles and lenses until we got the shot we were working towards. Once we finished shooting he had the photos straight on the computer and was editing them straight away. I would absolutely recommend shooting with Russ and can’t wait to work with him again.

Second shoot with Russ, and best shoot yet. Always accommodating and easy going, relaxed environment makes for great results. Knows which setting works for which outfits, and gives so much freedom with costume and poses. Always hospitable in his home, looks after the models as a priority, and got some cracking images, some of my favourite yet. I do hope to squeeze in another when we can. I will always enjoy how he goes through his camera gear and settings and editing process with the models, makes it feel like an all round effort

Another great shoot with Russ. I feel like our shoots get better each time and he’s always a pleasure to shoot with. Professional and friendly. Edits are always done super fast and to high standard. Defo one of my fav photographers. Hoping to get some outdoor stuff with him at some point soon too :)

This was my second shoot with Russ and what an absolutely fantastic shoot it was!!

I travelled to Russ' house for this shoot (a stunning house to photograph in which provided us with plenty of choice for rooms to use)

Russ is super friendly and easy to get on with, very professional and an absolutely superb host :) He was helpful with posing ideas but also open to try any thoughts and ideas that I had too. It was a thoroughly enjoyable shoot and we ended up with tons of amazing images!!

There was an extremely quick turn around with editing the images and getting them sent over to me, the majority within 24 hours!!

I would highly recommend working with Russ and hope I will get the chance to again in the future
