Met Russel in a group photoshoot yesterday.

He was a pleasure to work with, with a very positive attitude and the images he produced are simply stunning.

Looking forward to working with him again

Organised a last minute shoot with with Russ, lots of communication before hand and helpful direction wise. Really accommodating, made me a cup of tea (instant happiness) and showed me around his home, so I could see where we were shooting.

I felt at ease within minutes of meeting with him. He’s very sincere, genuine and trustworthy, both as a person and a photographer. Lots of ideas and open to my ideas, he kept me informed throughout the shoot and he made me feel comfortable and respected at all times.

Answered any questions, helped guide/ direct me (as I’m fairly new to modelling). Went through the images afterwards and sent them to me there and then. He even provided a lovely, warm, bowl of soup (lentil in case you’re wondering).

I could not recommend working with Russ highly enough and would love the opportunity to work with him again.

I put a casting out and Russ applied. We had been messaging about a shoot for a good few years and finally we got to shoot.

He was an absolute pleasure to work with, great fun, easy to get along with, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Russ to work with and I look forward to the next time.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot.

Russ was absolutely lovely to work with. The pre-shoot communications were great and he made me feel comfortable in the shooting location. Communication during the shoot was also great, and we were able to work together to produce some cracking images.

Would definitely recommend working with Russ.

Second shoot with Russ in his gorgeous home, he lit the fire so could try some there, he made me a cuppa upon arrival and had even prepared a pan of chicken soup so I could have a warming bowl before I left, nothing is too much effort for Russ, very welcoming and a lovely person.

Russ makes every effort to get the shot perfect, makes sure the picture is gorgeous, adds lights, moves props/furniture whatever it takes. He makes sure you get the pictures promptly and left my reference before the end of the day, a fabulous day and would definitely recommend. Be looking forward to working with you again Russ, thank you.

What a fabulous first shoot with Russ! Really easy going guy who welcomed me in to his house which was a delight to shoot in. Plenty of pre comms so knew what to expect in terms of style of the house, Russ did a tour and made me a cup of tea and then got changed and started. We transitioned through the house and created great images. Russ is enthusiastic and makes the shoot easy, the time flowed and we finished with uploading the images over a bacon bap and another cuppa, completely excited by these images. Would highly recommend Russ, can’t wait to get back there and work with him again soon, an amazing shoot start to finish. Thank you Russ for a great afternoon and gorgeous images!

Had a vintage lingerie shoot today with Russ in his beautiful home, which by the way if a fantastic place to shoot, with a abundance of natural light. Add this with Russ' obvious passion for genuine vintage items/furniture, I was in my element!

Pre communication was fantastic and we even fit in a video chat, so I could see the areas we'd be shooting in. Giving me a great visual so I could plan looks that would work well.

We decided on a Retro/Vintage theme and not only was Russ hupful during tricky outfit changes (corsets), but he was super respectful and I felt at ease throughout the shoot. During which we exchanged ideas, giving each others a go and bouncing off each other.

Russ was not only a great photographer to work with but a perfect host throughout the day, checking in with me to see if I needed anything, and even finishing off the shoot with a fry up!

After the shoot we looked through the photos and I am excited from what I've seen. I would be more than happy to work with Russ again and highly recommend him to any models looking at working with him.

Thanks Russ 😁

Wow what can I say! It was so good to see Russ yesterday after all these years! The model industry had gained another amazing photographer! I highly recommend Russ to anyone! You will not be disappointed! Super friendly and respectful and booking a shoot is easy! Straight forward comms, and kindly me up from the station to shoot with him at his lovely home. The images are of course cracking, and he has picked up right from where he left off. Good to see you again and hope to shoot again real soon!

Thank you!

Have had the pleasure of working with Russ at the past 2 group shoots, first at Candiland and second weekend just gone at Silverman Studio’s. The first group shoot was all female models and last weekend was a b/g duo.

Russ takes a great image regardless of what he is shooting, he captures his subject so well be it birds, or female models or a duo. He is enthusiastic and passionate about his photography and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He provided me with all images and he edited all of the ones I asked for really quickly. He’s just such a gent and really easy going guy with a genuine love for creating gorgeous images. Thanks Russ, looking forward to working with you again soon x
