Just got home from my third shoot with Jim Saltire Photography , Well what can i say we had an artistic creative shoot. I think this was my most favourite shoot to date. It was like I have known Jim for many years as he is very warm and welcoming. Jim is an amazing artistic photographer and endless creative ideas that I loved.

I think that most people who get the chance to see the images will just see what a great creative photographer he is!!!

I very much hope he was just as happy as I was today and would jump at the chance to work with him again! Cheers Jim you're a 100% topman :-)

Working together was an absolute pleasure! Lovely guy, very funny so a joy to work with but also respectful and professional. I worked with a male model when we had our shoot, all three of us could talk and shoot together with ease, his studio was nice and clean, as well easy to get to (I travelled by train to Birmingham New Street). Can’t wait to work together again!

WOW!

First of all, I’m going to mention how fantastic Jim is at photography! The images we captured are absolutely out of this world, Jim thinks outside of the box and that is exactly what I’d asked for as my portfolio is very much compiled of the same poses and images!

I had my first shoot with Jim today and it definitely won’t be the last!

Jim is an absolutely fantastic photographer with a fantastic personality to match. He’s a genuine, down to earth guy.

I’d never felt so at ease with a photographer, which definitely makes all the difference in the images.

As we were shooting, Jim kept showing me the images so I could see how they were turning out- I genuinely cannot wait to see them properly :-)

I walked into the studio feeling quite down about my appearance as well as forgetting how to pose, and when I walked out I felt a million dollars! Jim built up my confidence so much and the images were absolutely fabulous if I do say so myself!

Jim helped me with posing which I found really helpful and made me feel more at ease while shooting

The studio Jim owns is immaculate and a very professional space to model in, a clean and tidy environment is just so nice to work in

I’d recommend Jim to any model, whether they’re new into modelling or experienced.

Thank you so very much for shooting with me, I enjoyed my time thoroughly :-)

Looking forward to our next shoot

Had my first studio shoot today, can honestly say that I was lucky enough for it to be with Jim.

Communication before hand was spot on. Upon arrival Jim was amazing, so relaxed and but my nerves at ease, so patient, had a laugh and makes good coffee :) Loved his vision and artistic flare.

I would definitely collaborate with Jim again.

I highly recommend anyone and everyone reach out and work with Jim.

What a fantastic man my second shoot with Saltire Photography, amazing artistic photographer. His direction and professionalism is incredible. His pictures he took today scream out his passion for his work, creating masterpieces. Really couldn't be happier. He also gave brilliant direction and was a wealth of information on photography and modelling, sharing tips and techniques. As ever Jim was professional and respectful and was so easy to work with and I never felt uncomfortable. It was like working with a friend, having a good chat and laugh. It was an all-round enjoyable shoot; I adore working with a passionate photographer!

My second shoot with Jim and I just have no words to say how truly amazing he really is.

The rapport we have, the direction he gives and the shots he creates are just remarkable. Shooting in the centre of Birmingham in 29 degrees heat is no easy feat but he took it all in his stride.

It is really true what they say about the relationship between a photographer and their model. If you click then you create great work- Jim is the easiest person to gel with. Working again with him in a weeks time, and safe to say I can’t blumming wait!

Had a great shot with Jim yesterday in his convenient Birmingham studio. He has a great vision and had great ideas that I could never come up with! I hope we can work together again and see what other great ideas he comes up with. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to shoot with Jim last week. It was the most amazing experience. He is a true gentleman and put me at ease immediately. We had communicated before the day, and discussed poses, outfits etc, so no time was wasted. He had created a plan for the day and ensured that I was comfortable with every shot.

His ideas, vision and focus are nothing short of incredible and we produced some truly fantastic shots. I am working with him again next month, and I cant wait to see what we can produce.

He is literally FAB and super super talented!!!! I cant recommend him enough.

I was fortunate enough to grab an opportunity to shoot with John yesterday at Bodyline Studio. It was an entirely unplanned shoot other than a 15min chat the night before, he was on-time, full of enthusiasm and able to work off the cuff and highly creatively. He has a fantastic eye for a shot and to create something with a little extra pzazz. Felt completely comfortable, safe and respected at all times - would recommend to new and experienced models alike.

I shot on location with Jim yesterday and what can I say, it was nothing but brilliant.

Preshoot comms were fantastic, we discussed themes, outfits and location, Jim also sent the postcode and street views of our meeting point.

The shoot was relaxed and good fun. Jim gave good direction, making sure he got the right shot but also welcomed my thoughts and ideas.

Jim is really easy to get on with, good fun - we laughed alot and a fantastic photographer.

I can't wait to work with him again and would highly recommend.

I've just had my first shoot at Nuneaton Studio with Jim. Everything was easy to arrange, communication before, during and after the shoot. Jim is a very artistic person, with a lot of ideas for the shoot! He was super kind and professional from the first approach, during and to the end of the shoot. Jim was always careful with me, asking if I was comfortable with the poses he proposed etc..I really appreciated this attention! I also love photographers who have a clear idea of what they want to photograph. In this sense, we took a good "few shots" but almost every shot was great. This gentleman artist who I would love to work with again! Highly Recommended!!!

Shooting with Saltire was an amazing experience. He's an incredible person, imaginative and creative, enthusiastic and energetic and so passionate about his art. The shoot itself was thoroughly enjoyable and lots of fun due to his wonderful sense of humour. His images are powerful and emotive and I'm so happy to have worked with him and will be doing so again in the very near future.

I have shot with Saltire Photography on many occasions. Each time he is well prepared, totally professional and always shoots with respect. His sense of humour and attention to detail make shooting with him both easy and a pleasure. I would highly recommend him to any model wanting quality artist shots taken.

I’d highly recommend Saltire Photography to any new or experienced models. He is such a lovely guy who is easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour. He has a good range of photographic equipment and excellent lights. Be sure to bring a book for the set up tho.... Seriously tho he has great attention to detail and gets excellent shots. Communication and timekeeping are spot on and there is no pushing of levels, he is a complete gentleman. Hope to have the pleasure of shooting with him again soon.
