Had a wonderful shoot with John yesterday. He is a very friendly person and a real gentleman. John made me feel welcome from the first minute and despite the cold weather, the house was cosy and warmed up. John had some very interesting ideas, his taste in images is quite different from most of photographers which makes working with him even more interesting. During the shoot we had a lovely conversation and became friends. Look forward to working with him again and certainly recommend.

My first time shooting with John was lovely. He is funny, laid back and so hospitable. Not only did we create some gorgeous images (watch this space, will be posting soon!) but he made the extra effort to make up a spare room for me but bought me lovely vegan food. His house and neighbours house that we shot in is absolutely beautiful. One thing that particularly stood out was his eye for photographing me as a person, not just a model. Hope we shoot again in future!

I had the pleasure of shooting with John on my recent tour to South Wales.

John lives in a beautiful rural setting with his lovely bouncy little dog.

John was very welcoming and had kindly made me lunch and plenty of refreshments.

We shot over at his friends beautiful property in the village which was stunning.

John is kind and funny and together we produced some lovely work.

Highly recommended and I would work with him again.

I'm not sure how many shoots we've done now, it's a fair few & that's probably reference enough! I do keep coming back. Shoots with John are always a very enjoyable creative process where I know my input is valued. We never know what we're going to get but we always get something!

Thank you so much John for another lovely day, hopefully see you & Lukey again soon xx

The shoot was relaxed. John is great company and great conversation. He made me feel comfortable and even brought me a bright red lipstick for an idea he'd had. He even took the time to incorporate my dog into the shoot, which I am most thankful for. Unfortunately for us, it did rain for alot of the time we had, but that's typical Welsh weather for you, regardless, it was a lovely day.

Thank you John.

Not every photographer will get you lipstick for a photoshoot but John will haha!

Had a fantastic day! It was very chill and some very different images will be coming out from this! Very exciting!

Just a lovely day indeed ^^

So our second shoot, joined with the amazing Becky!

I found myself having so much fun during the day and I haven't shoot for this long for a while! We when shooting from 12 to 8 (good fun indeed)

It was a good arrangement and a fantastic day! And I sure there will be future activities!

Highly recommend

Another fabulous shoot with John. The fact I keep coming back for more is a reference in itself. Great company, super food, flowing conversation about everything & nothing - oh, & we usually manage to take some photos too. I really appreciate the opportunity to experiment & try different things & work out together how to improve. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but I always enjoy the process. Really pleased with the shots we got.

Until next time, thank you, love to you & that dog! :-)

Yet another fabulous shoot with John. I'm not sure how many times we've worked together now but it's more than a few & that is probably recommendation enough.

However, this time John had found a fabulous beach location for us & we took some lovely images while the sun was going down - I really love them. When working with John I always know I'll come away with some interesting & different images that hopefully we both really like.

Of course John is highly recommended by me & I'll keep coming back as long as he'll have me. Thank you!! Love to you & Lucy :-)

I had a shoot with John today the but unfortunately the train that I took to get to the location was delayed by half an hour! (Which was very annoying) however, John was completely accepting of this fact! and our photoshoot overran because we just had a plast!

It was the first time that a photographer has provided me with a costume/clothing to wear for a photoshoot and I fell in love with this hoodie! (that he let me keep) thank you!!!

I also, got to work with his very cute and adorable little doggy too!

I like the fact that there were several different kinds of photoshoots, all in one day! It all works together in some strange way!

Had a great time indead!

Yet another fabulous shoot with John. I absolutely adore shooting with him because apart from the fact that he is such a wonderful host, I know that we will have fun trying to create something different & interesting, & I really enjoy this creative process with John. We always come up with something that is just a little bit special. This reminds me of what I LOVE about modelling - creating something that captures the viewers' attention & provokes a response.

I also so appreciate the effort & thought that John puts into his shoots - coming up with ideas, sourcing props, clothes & locations (whilst always being mindful of the model's comfort) & some absolutely delicious food.

John, thank you so so much, you're a true gent & all round lovely person. Until next time - love to you & Lucy :-)

I had the pleasure of working with John again the other day. John is lovely, he is an absolute pleasure to talk to and work with. We created some fabulous unique images on the day and I honestly didn't want him to leave.

Wholeheartedly recommend working with this gent.

What an absolutely lovely man!! John came to my rescue when my accommodation fell through for my recent tour in Wales and let me stay with him for the duration.

He collected and dropped me back to a train station many miles away from his home, bought in food to fit my diet and was such amazing company to be around.

Pre-shoot communications were great and I had a sense that we would get on even before we met.

We shot a fair few sets in John's home (the weather really wasn't on our side) working through various ideas and reviewing regularly which is such a good idea.

I even got to spend lots of time with Lucy, John's very sweet dog, which was wonderful as I miss my dogs when I'm away from home!

I can wholeheartedly recommend John as a photographer to work with but also as an all round lovely person. I truly hope we get the opportunity to work together again in the future! Thank-you so much, John! :D

Not sure how many shoots this is now, but shoots with John are always fun & truly collaborative. John usually has an idea or a location in mind & then the images evolve from there as we go along with input from both of us, which is a really nice way to work.

Again, great hospitality, John really does know how to look after his models, I stayed overnight so that we could shoot both days.

And this time I brought sunshine with me!!! There are some fabulous locations near John & it was really nice to take some shots out & about this time without freezing to death (although John is always really considerate when it comes to the comfort of his models).

I really like what we captured on the back of the camera, I've already posted my favourite shot from the beach as I loved it so much. If you're looking for something really different for your port & to have fun & great company in the process, go & book a shoot with John.

Look forward to next time John. Hugs to you & Lucy xx

Just a relaxed and chilled shoot with John, he booked me for the full day so we had plenty of time to chat and open up. It was a very relaxing environment his home is beautiful to shoot in! Definitely will be working with John again, I left smiling and confident that we achieved some good images, hight recommended!!

John was a sheer delight to work with: friendly, hospitable, open-minded, and always sensitive and considerate. During my time over there I was really well looked after (as a vegan, one always slightly dreads staying away from home, but he had this perfectly covered), and during the shoot itself John was full of good ideas as well as receptive to my own. He had scouted some really beautiful and amazing locations, and thankfully we got enough of a spell of good weather to do them justice (although out work indoors, for the rainy spell, was also a joy). I warmly recommend him, and hope that it may not be the only occasion we shoot together ...

I think this was our 5th shoot together & we had a lot of fun exploring ideas & creating images. John is great at coming up with shoot suggestions & then we see how it develops & where it takes us.

I really enjoy John's very relaxed way of working & it's great to be able to check the images on the computer so that we can make adjustments & the whole process feels very collaborative, & fun!

Great hospitality & company as per usual. I did manage to bring dry weather with me this time but it was bitterly cold so we only managed a few images outdoors - John was always mindful of the temperature & my comfort.

I very much look forward to our next time together & really will try & bring dry AND warm weather with me! Love to Lucy & thank you! :-) xx

I had my first shoot with Seaweed John today. I don't have much experience and John was patient and kind and put me immediately at ease with his relaxed approach. I'm super pleased with the shots and look forward to working with John again.

I has the pleasure of working with John again last week, it was yet another really good shoot! I travelled south to his home and as always received a warm welcome and first class hospitality.

We had a brilliant day of shooting in his home as the gorgeous Welsh weather was against us.. It hailed and rained lots.. We did various sets throughout the day, exploring different emotions and doing different themes. I absolutely love the images and think our work together just keeps getting better and better!

Thank you for a such a great shoot, it was lovely to see you and Lucy again :D

Highly recommended 👍

Another super shoot with John. Thoroughly enjoyed his Pembrokeshire hospitality - wonderful food & drink on offer throughout the time I stayed with him.

We shot during the evenings as well as in the day & John had lots of ideas for different lighting whilst also working with the available natural light.

Shoots with John are always very relaxed & laid back with ideas flowing to & fro. I love that we are both happy to suggest changes to poses, angles etc & check the back of the camera frequently to see what works & what doesn't. It's then great to have a tea break :-) & check the images on the computer.

I feel totally relaxed & comfortable shooting with John working on anything from clothed images through to experimenting with some erotica.

A total gent, fabulous company, full of ideas, lots of laughs & we always manage to create something special together - what's not to recommend??

Already looking forward to the next one, when I'll hopefully bring better weather with me!!!

Love to Lucy & thank you again :-) xx
