Wonderful meeting Owen for the first time last weekend for his shoot with Gia. Owen's whole day was highly organised and well arranged and he'd brought a cornucopia of props, lights, kit and effects to realise the shots he had in mind.

I loved Owen's enthusiasm for the photographs he was creating, clearly a passionate creative and it was superb to see the out of camera shots looking so amazing at the end of his and Gia's shoot.

Looking forward to welcoming Owen back to Saracen House Studio studio again soon.

I shot with Owen for the first time at Sacaran Studio after applying for one of his castings.

Pre comms were super clear and he let me know exactly what shoes to bring, as it was all art nude and Owen provided everything else (as well as bringing shoes himself). He had a very clear idea of everything he wanted to shoot and sent me examples before the shoot, so I was completely in the know even in terms of lighting etc.

The shoot itself was great, with food etc for during the breaks so I was fed and watered throughout. I was comfortable the entire time and Owen was super professional and clearly knows what he is doing. He was also super easy to get along with and the 8 hours flew by, as we chatted in between shots and lighting set ups.

He was clear with direction when needed and provided props for me to use throughout which helped me to come up with poses and added to the images. He had some really cool ideas and I think we achieved everything that was set out in the plan.

Overall Owen was fantastic to work with and and he is a truly great photographer. He even gave me a lift back home after the shoot, since it was semi on the way! We got some really great shots and I hope to work with him again. 100% recommended.

I met Owen for the first time yesterday at Far Forest studio where he accompanied Everly Rose on a Halloween themed shoot. As a photographer who is not particularly strong on the technical side of things I greatly appreciated Owen's presence - he is extremely knowledgeable, highly talented and imaginative. I have emerged with some lovely, interesting and unusual images of Everly and that is due in no small part to Owen's advice and guidance. Highly recommended to all models - and other photographers!

Not sure what else to say, my millionth shoot with my mentor Owen, always a great day, gets my ideas as I do his, feeds me and puts up with my nattering while I put up with his 'lets add this light :P '

Great guy, super talented clever and funny and a fantastic person.

Today owen helped on my studio day and mentored another photographer, the result are outstanding, I can't recommend him enough, Thanks dude xxx

Had a fantastic shoot with Owen at the studio,

We did a nude/oil shoot with lots of different lights & effects (fog / wind machine etc). Was a full days work but worth every second, got a few front page images from the shoot also which was great !!!!

Owen was professional and well mannered, he also provided a lovely lunch and catered for my dietary requirements xx

I had my first shoot with Owen yesterday at the fabulous Two Wei Location House and wow what a day it was.

We had 8 hours booked which turned out to be around 12 hours. Now this might sound like a hefty day, but my time with Owen was effortless, fun and the time just flew by.

Pre-Comms where fantastic, Owen is thorough, clear, concise and to the point in the sort of thing he wanted to create. He sent a mood board on Pinterest which I always appreciate and I offered my own thoughts there too. We acted in sync in our planning.

When I arrived at or location I was met by the owners giving Owen a tour of the grounds. After a cuppa and a chat we got to work. Owen came armed with some beautiful garments which were used in many different themes.

He certainly is quite the magician in his craft and has all manner of tricks and ideas up his sleeve. There was fog, lighting, wind, gels, gadgets and the all important laughter. Owen even brought lunch.

Im thrilled to say we really did create magic together. I can only hope we work together again.

Highly recommended to anyone. Owen is truly wonderful.

Thank you for such a fun packed day xxx

So Owen came to weave his magic at Two Wei. You cannot fail to admire his work on the pages of this site so when he enquired about booking us we were, to say the least, made up!

The expectations of a great shoot grew even more with the unloading of each magic machine and prop from his TARDIS like vehicle. Well we weren't disappointed, what a great shoot (our longest ever btw), Owen really is a master of his craft.

Not only is Owen a very talented and ingenious photographer, he is also a thoroughly nice chap who we can whole heartedly recommend to anyone who's lucky to be asked to work with.

Thanks Owen for a fabulous day :)

This was my 3rd shoot with Owen! This time we shot a variety of styles (mainly glamour, boudoir and nude) at my friend's place in York. I think we managed to utilise the space pretty well. Owen, as always, mastered the light and did not disappoint with providing special effects!

The images look stunning and we had a lot of laughs.

Highly recommended!

I modeled for Owen at Hampson St studio for the day. Owen is very skilful and knowledgeable when it comes to lighting techniques. We tried so many different lighting set ups throughout the day and they looked stunning. So many beautiful images were created. Owen was even kind enough to buy me lunch which was very much appreciated.

I do hope to model for Owen again in the not too distant future.

MelVicMakeup

Owen is a highly skilled photographer, he has amazing knowledge and understanding of lighting which I found so interesting, I was there to do the hair and makeup but I also stayed the whole day which was amazing learning all about the way Owen creates his master pieces.

Owen’s hospitality was great too, especially his wife’s homemade granola bites!

Together with the model we all worked well together, a great team and Owen I would highly recommend to all who want to build up theirs portfolio, his rates are very low considering the expertise and knowledge and results he creates! Love his work and love the images so far.

Highly recommended and thank-you for a great day.

Rayne Swan

Would recommend Owen without hesitation. I'd been looking forward to working with him for a while and when I saw he wanted to do a 1940s shoot I jumped at the chance. Time flew by on this shoot and we really nailed the look, which I'm super happy about. Owen is so easy to work with and get along with and i would love to work with him again. Thanks Owen :)

I worked with Owen this weekend , we shot for a full day and the time flew by. I have worked with Owen many years ago and always admired his work. I felt at ease and relaxed through the shoot. I have received two fantastic images within 2 days and I adore them, they have the waw factor I was looking for and knew Owen would achieve for me. I highly recommend Owen.

I’d been so excited to shoot with Owen, this man certainly did not disappoint. Owen was so friendly and professional throughout the shoot, and the most prepared I’ve ever seen a photographer in my life!

I had a great shoot with Owen, he knows how to take the perfect picture and we got some amazing images, I cannot wait to see the finished results. I’d 100% recommend Owen for some beautiful photos and a great day!

Thank you so much!

Ivory Flame

I was so excited to have Owen join one of the days of my Electric Dreams event at The Hacienda in London! We had discussed lots of ideas and possibilities prior to the shoot, with Owen even ordering a smoke machine that he kindly donated to the Hacienda, as well as bringing his laser projector and other cool bits of kit!

He was enthusiastic and fun throughout, getting on really well with the fellow photographers that day. He worked brilliantly with all the models and it was awesome to see his mind at work at the venue, creative and focussed on capturing the details, arranging brilliant lighting set ups, and wowing everyone with his creations!! A pleasure to shoot with! :-)

When the pre-comms are detailed and meticulous, full of ideas and inspiration you just know you are going to be in for a absolute treat of a shoot. And I so was.

Let's start just on a personal level. Owen is a warm, friendly and articulate guy who is more than happy to chat on any subject. Intelligent and knowledgable, the down time between setups was filled with friendly, witty and informative chat that would please me beyond measure across a table sharing a pint.

But let's get down to why we are really here. Photos! You only need look at Owen's current portfolio to know that this is a man whose ability, vision and artistry are simply breathtaking. I have never in my entire modelling career met someone who understands the science and mechanics of photography as much as Owen and it shows in his work. Because from that quantitative approach he is able to tease and nurture the qualitative out of his subject. To find the beauty, the elegance and the indefinable je ne sais quoi that turns pixels into art.

If you havent shot with Owen before and wish to, ask him. Hope he says yes. In fact do whatever it takes to make him say yes. Sell a kidney. Sacrifice your firstborn in the most biblical way you can think of. Because it would be worth it.

Absolutely and completely recommended.

Owen came along to the incredible Electric Dreams event that model Ivory Flame organised, at the Hacienda Studio in London - and wow, what an incredible creative force this guy is!

We shot some incredible gel lighting on the rather stupendous bed, made use of the neon signs - the images are truly beautiful! Owen is a lovely person, great to chat to, super friendly, and an artistic wonder. Would highly recommend this fellow to all models and artistic souls.

I had a dream of a shoot with the wonderful Owen today at his beautiful home studio.

We had discussed ideas of some interesting portraits and headshots before we met up and Owen had kindly arranged a amazing MUA for the day.

I was made to feel very welcome and Owen is a genuinely lovely guy, he has clear visions and his photography lighting and direction are spot on, he is a pleasure to work with.

We all gelled as a team and it was a delight to see our vision come to light.

A brilliant shoot, can't wait for the next one :)

I had my first shoot with Owen today - what a pleasure! Right from the outset he made me feel very comfortable (offering a cup of tea before hand to discuss hair and makeup). He came up with some very innovative ideas throughout the day and even supplied me with a great sequin dress for full body shots! Can’t wait to see the edits. I had a great day - thank you!
