On arrival I was really nervous but Russ put me at ease straight away. We had previously talked on the phone so I already knew we would get on. Russ and I looked through images prior to our shoot so we both knew what sort of outcome we wanted.

I had a brilliant time working with Russ and have seen him now a couple of times.. And already planning the next time. I can't wait!

Obviously it goes without saying Russ is amazing at what he does so I felt privileged to shoot with him..

Had an awesome shoot with Russ yesterday.

He had amazing ideas and he is a great photographer.

Russ is very professional friendly and made the shoot really fun.

We took some amazing photos that I adore and can't wait to work with Russ again :)

Another awesome shoot with Russ with awesome results.

Russ is so easy to work with and always makes the shoots thoroughly enjoyable.

Fab direction, fab ideas, fab personality.

Thanks, see you soon :)

Well what can I say? I had an absolute blast with Russ today shooting some cutesy nude images and moving to bondage/ fetish work.

Russ picked me up (always a bonus) and we shot in his new home. Russ is incredibly easy to work with, has fab ideas, is respectful, knows how to make you look hot and produces great results. I also got to see Freya which is always lovely and she makes a great sandwich!

Pre- comms were great and I knew what we doing from the get go. Russ is a great conversationalist (as is Freya) and the time flew by! We got great results and there wasn't an image I didn't like. All in all just fab shoot and we're already discussing the next.

1000% recommended, see you soon.! :)

I worked with Russ on location last year and had a fantastic shoot. Very professional and full of weird and wonderful ideas! Even the cold mud couldn't deter from such a fun shoot. I felt at ease at all times and would recommend anyone who has the chance to shoot with Russ to take it.

Russ and I had been planning a shoot for some time so I was really excited to finally book a date. As luck would have it, Freya was available too so we decided to turn it into a shoot with her too. They both made me feel very relaxed from the get go and we managed to get through loads of ideas. Russ has a fantastic imagination and a great eye for composition - it was really hard to narrow down the selection.

We'd lost the light before we were able to shoot any rope suspension but Russ said we could do it anyway just so I could have a feel for it. I'm so grateful to both Russ and Freya for the whole experience; I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and I know I've learnt a lot.

I highly recommend working with Russ, his direction is brilliant and his creativity is unique.

Thank you Russ - I know we've got lots of great photos and I can't wait to shoot with you again in your new place :)

I've been wanting to shoot with Russ for quite some time now so I was glad when we finally arranged to shoot together during my last trip in Gloucester. We were supposed to shoot in the afternoon but my train from London got cancelled and by the time I got there it was getting really dark outside. Russ was very accommodating, he kindly let me stay for the night and we decided to shoot in the morning instead.

I was very excited because I've always wanted to do suspension bondage (I was a little nervous too as I didn't know how I was going to handle it), but I'm so glad I asked Russ to do it. He made me feel so safe, and I felt completely relaxed around him. He also let me pick some images right after the shoot (which was hard because they were so many I liked!) and I just absolutely adore the final images.

I found him extremely easy to chat to, a great company, a lovely person... and a great sense of humour! Oh.. and he's not too bad at cooking either :P I hope we'll shoot together again and I definitely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Russ and Amber for a lovely stay. Marla x

Have shot with Russ on a few occasions both in studio and location environments. I have been impressed every time by his professionalism and his eye for detail. He is easy to get on with and quick to make you feel comfortable and confident. He takes care in his work, trying to bring out the best in every shot, and is great at giving direction when needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

Russ is friendly and professional. He has a natural ability with the camera and gives good direction. He has a eye for really bringing out the best in you directing faltering posses throughout the shoot. It was a pleasure to work with him! I Look forward to working with him again. Highly recommend! Thank you! : )

Shooting with Russ at The Big Picnic event at Rhossili Bay was magical, something I didn't expect, so I was obviously excited to get the chance to shoot with him!

Russ has such wonderful ideas for images, always suited to the model that he is working with, so using the beautiful surroundings & weather, he directed me towards poses which were fun (and messy) to execute - Russ is magical with his manipulation of natural light, really impressing me with his way with the camera & amazing angles, whilst making me giggle with his wonderfully dry humour :)

It was so exciting to shoot with such a professional & complete photographer, I do hope that we shoot again - cannot recommend him enough, Em xx

I've shot with Russ twice now and each time had been a blast! Lots of fun and frolics around the countryside and in beautiful abandoned places. He's always full of inspiration and passion for photography and the outcome of the images are phenomenal. Whether it's being tied up in abandoned buildings, running around wheat fields, splashing around in rivers, messing about in the spare room studio you're guaranteed to have a good time. I always leave with a big grin on my face and spring in my step.

I would highly recommend Russ to anyone and I can't wait to go back and shoot with him again!

I loved loved LOVED shooting with Russ! He is such a lovely person to work with! I felt instantly comfortable around him... I loved his ideas and what he was also teaching me about angles and shapes on your body.

I love the photos too! Like I'm literally over the moon with what we got from the end of the shoot! I highly recommend working with him he's a extremely talented photographer and a great laugh! Plus he managed to put up with me moaning about twigs and sticks and spiders getting on me :p

Shot with Russ recently, had an absolute blast. Russ is so easy going and friendly it's easy to forget your on a shoot and not just hanging with a pal.

However, with camera in hand Russ is a real professional and has an amazing eye. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

I really look forward to working with Russ again and highly recommend him to anybody out there.

Great work dude

First of all Russ is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet :)

Russ and amber were kind enough to let me stay over the weekend while I shot with them and others and I had such a lovely time!

To shoot with the feel was really relaxed yet professional, as it was a style of shootingid not had experience in Russ was considerate to make sure I was happy at all times and made the shoot feel fun and always safe throughout. I don't need to say how good the photos are a they were fantastic as always and so so hard to chose favourites!

Had a lovely lovely time, would fully recommend and would jump at the chance to shoot again!!

Just got back from an amazing weekend in Cheltenham with Russ and Amber. Not having shot any real rope work before I was more than a little nervous, but very curious. Don't know why as I loved every minute.. Stunning location and Russ was incredibly conscious of my safety, comfort and cold levels, and great direction made it really easy, blown away with the shots!!

Awesome hospitality too, with amazing cooking, great films and tunes, and a few cheeky bottles of wine! Thanks again for an amazing weekend, and if you need a crash pad close to London you know where I am :)

Finally got to shoot with Russ & it was well worth the wait!! Russ is such an awesome person, so relaxed, bubbly & cool. We shot both location & studio and got some amazing shots!! Our shoot involved a lot of rope tieing so I put my full trust in Russ and he was very gentle and considerate making sure I was comfortable throughout!

Russ made me feel at ease throughout the shoot & it was relaxed but really enjoyable. He has endless ideas which is great and his enthusiasm really shows through! Russ really knows how to get the best out of a model and always knows how to get the best shot. Russ really respected my levels and ensured that I was happy with all of the shots.

Russ's work speaks volumes as it's magnificent and it was a pleasure working with him. If you get the chance to work with him, jump at it!!

Thanks so much Russ.. Can't wait to shoot again!!

When Russ added me to his WTWW list I did a little happy dance and after swapping ideas & inspiring images; months later we finally got to work together and create some awesome art.

Totally worth the wait, and we had so much fun! Russ put up with me for a weekend and the conversation & banter made a great few days. Also the spicy meatballs and cheeky bottles of red were pretty darn good too ;)

I was spoilt for choice with images and I’m totally over the moon with the final ones that are proudly on display in my port :)

A really good shoot & weekend, I look forward to the next one (if I’m allowed back hehe) thank you x

I had my first Shoot with Russ at the beginning of this year (sorry to take so long with the reference). Russ made me feel very relaxed as i was extremely nervous but soon we we're laughing and joking. Very easy to talk to and was able to give me direction as i had never done anything like this before.

The images that we got were awesome and i'm excited to see what the future holds and would hope to work with Russ again.

(again sorry this took so long)

i was lucky enough to have shot with Russ again the week just passed- and it defiantly isnt the last time.

The images we decided on are far more awesome than i could have ever anticipated. I'm completely blown away with Russ's style and his natural ability to achieve sensual images. They honestly all were that good, only tough part was narrowing them down. oh plus i got to work with another model finally.. YAY..

As is clear in the results, i love working with Russ and would recommend any model given the chance should. He is also great company to be around. Look forward to the next time Russ, thanks for a great couple of days :)

I had my second shoot with Russ over the weekend and he kindly let me stay at his place while we worked on another set of stunning images. I am so grateful to Russ. Since working with him the first time, my passion for modelling and photography was ignited and my portfolio has improved tenfold thanks to his talent. Russ is a pleasure to shoot with, his friendly,fun and laid back personality enabled the time to literally fly by...it was so sad when the weekend had to come to an end! Our images look absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to proudly display them on my port. Highest recommendation possible! I look forward to the next time we can work together, Russ!

Thanks for everything,
