Worked on an underwater group shoot with Sam. He is very versatile and really worked hard to get the shots, in unusual and tricky conditions! He was working with two female models and worked equally well with both. He is very friendly, fun and easy to talk to and would be an asset to any shoot! Highly recommended!

Today I had the opportunity to drown Sam, teehee. We were working together on an underwater group shoot, Sam is the perfect gentleman and helped my dress stay down when it had a mind of its own :-D really easy to get on with, he's super amazing with movement and we literally just bounce ideas off each other, very professional, very friendly and made me feel at ease.

Highly recommend to the whole world and beyond :-D

Awesome first shoot with Sam today -- a duo shoot with Rosamund where they put up with really excessive dithering about with LED fairy lights on my part.

Sam brings an actor's instincts, which means that if like me you're starting to think about how to frame the story around a shot, or even just how you'd like your models to convey a mood, he's someone you need to work with.

We had really useful discussions about the art around the work, and he has a highly organised portable wardrobe, too.

A definite recommendation from me, especially if you're working on a duo or experimental shoot; he's someone you want on your team!

Was a pleasure to work with Sam, he made the shoot easy took direction where needed but posed extremely well. He brought a few changes to the wardrobe that helped mix things up a lot.

Was a great shoot and I highly recommend him.

Thanks again

Sam was a total delight to work with, he even got to the shoot despite car troubles!

He was on time, his communication before the shoot was brilliant and whilst on the shoot he was friendly and professional!

The photos themselves came out exactly how I wanted them, thanks to Sam being able to interpret the brief of the shoot.

I would 100% recommend Sam, and would love to work with him again in the future!

I worked with Sam on a Jack Vettriano inspired set and he was awesome to work with. Very charismatic, a very good model and knows how to tell a story with his movements. We attempted some dancery balance type poses, and he lifted me as if I wasn't a lump (note to ladies looking to do duo poses) which was fabulous! Recommended to anyone. Looking forward to working with him again :)

I was the photographer in the shoot that is mentioned below. Sam was a model and more as he was engaged from the beginning in planning and the artistic flow of what we were trying to do.

He came with suitcases full of stuff for the shoot and his attention to detail is spot on .

Sam is very professional comes with ideas and is willing to adapt to the specific circumstances in front of him. He is very sensitive in the way he works with female models giving them space and communicates with clarity .

He is also just very good fun to work with!A pleasant man who is committed to his art and who works his socks off to get the right image . I'd love to work with him again .

I had the pleasure to work with him on a jack vetteriano inspired group shooting. He was very professional and creative. Communications and exchange of ideas lead this project to high standard. He created a relaxed fun working environment.

I hope to shoot again with him in the very near future.

Sam was a pleasure to work with and was ready to shoot with an array of outfits based on the mood board I sent over. We met early and managed to get some nice shots outside before the rain started, we got an extra special model in the form of a fox join us too and both worked well together ;)

Sam was very brazen as I suggested we nip into a shopping centre as the rain came down hard, we managed to get a few shots off before we were stopped but they have gained some great feedback.

A friendly and joyful person to work with, thanks Sam!

Had the pleasure of working with sam today. I'd never posed with another model before but he made me feel totally at ease and gave great tips on how to feel more comfortable and natural. I hope to work with him again soon

Sensual Art

Sam came for some portraits at extremely short notice but threw in the idea of some art nudes too. Professional from start to finish, his communications beforehand were superb, he knows his acting stuff, knows how to look good, was even able to help Rosamund get the pictures she wanted, and then turned his creative skills around to helping us get some duo shots too - a first for Rosamund - including some duo art nudes. His attention to detail on the review screen helped us all get some great results.

Thanks Sam - the other ideas we were throwing around will need a little more planning but I'm really excited about the prospect of them!

Lovely guy, very friendly and easy to get on with. Knew how to pose himself as well as handling my feeble attempts at direction ! Would I shoot again ? Yep, definitely.

Shot with this gent yesterday on a group shoot and he was absolutely fantastic in every way possible, Sam helped me out immensely as I've never really shot a male before. He was calm, understanding, patient and took direction well when needed :D would recommend Sam to professional or amateur.

Gideon

Sam is an extremely amicable young man, with a relaxed and friendly manner which endeared him to both the togs and the models who were also at the shoot. Sam demonstrated an accomplished knowledge of the art of getting the best out of a pose slipping into character with consummate ease. He has an excellent work ethic and made the shoot flow.

A very enjoyable shoot which produced some great shots for all the togs.

Thanks Sam, hope we get to shoot again sometime!

I highly recommend Sam! He's a lovely, decent and hard working guy. He arrived with a wardrobe fit for a king and prepared for any eventuality. Great grasp of light and actually helped a lot when it came to irradicating unwanted shadows. Very professional and a good laugh as well. Until next time Sam, I'm sure there will be!

Mia King

Shot with Sam at a group shoot, what an amazing guy to shoot with. Both fun and professional, taking direction well and making suggestions for good shots. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any level of photographer and look forward to working with him again x

Had a fab shoot with Sam at a group event organised by myself.

He arrived on time, had loads of outfit ideas as discussed beforehand.

Sam has a great fun friendly personality, fitted right in with the theme of the day, which was to have fun and get pics.

Professional throughout, patient, and a great fun to be around.

High recommended.
