Another superb workshop held by Shawn. If you've not attended one of these sessions, then you're missing out on a photo fun education with a great bloke. Watch out for these workshops and jump in. All that's needed is a good attitude and your camera.

I attended an excellent workshop hosted by Shawn yesterday. We covered so much ground and explored many lighting and set options. Highly recommended indeed.

Shawn is one of the most regular photographers that I work with and we've always made a great team! We had a beauty & lingerie workshop at Neon Dreams studio, it went very well and everyone was very happy with their results from the shoot! Shawn is amazing at teaching but also very sociable with everyone he comes into contact with and he’s genuine person. As always highly recommended :)

I took a recent workshop with Shawn and Charliee Rose. I learned an awful lot and had a lot of hands on time and good advice. Don't tell him though or it will go straight to his head! I highly recommend signing up for any workshops or tutorship he is offering. Recommended.

Worked with Shawn on multiple shoots and I'm always amazing by the final work. Has an amazing sense of negative space when he works along knowing what works with the looks Ive created with him. A pleasure to work with on every shoot and has never let me down with the final images. highly recommend him from everything to teaching-location shoots- beauty and more!

So Shawn organised a group shoot last month and invited me to model for this event. And I don't regret it! That was my first group shoot and it went so well!

Shawn is a great organiser, who teaches very well photography, he's very experienced. He selected a very nice location with a good choice of photographers. They were all very nice to work with, friendly, professional and pretty talented I believe!

It was very enjoyable and would definitely work for him again, even with him as he's such a talented photographer and a lovely person!!

Yet another epic shoot organised by Shawn. Great models, great location, great organisation, great bunch of people - and the weather behaved! A really fun shoot - I highly recommend Shawn's events.

Not too long after I first joined Purpleport, a certain photographer became one of my biggest influences. It took me a while to realise that he was actually Shawn, but I was filled with absolute joy the moment I put two and two together as he went on to become a true friend of mine.

Since I first met this fine, upstanding, extremely intelligent, hard working, dedicated, polite, gentle and soft spoken man, he has been incredibly supportive of me as a photographer. In addition, he has shown nothing but care towards my elderly parents, and he has always enthused about their beloved back garden whenever he brings Charliee over for a shoot.

One of my fondest memories of him is when he took it upon himself to escort my mother and kept her company in a nearby local park where I went off to shoot with the amazing model who is aforementioned. Consequently my mother became quite taken with Shawn ;)

Purely from the kindness of his heart, he collected me from, and later dropped me back at Swansea railway station on the Saturday that I was booked with Charliee. Throughout the day, Shawn did everything to make me feel comfortable in the fabulous and truly photogenic house which the two of them had rented for the season.

He cooked an exquisite meal for us and was always there if ever I needed technical support.

It is always my pleasure to recommend Shawn highly to others.

Thank you for such an unforgettable Saturday in Swansea, and also for continuing to inspire me in so many areas.

I had the pleasure to meet Shawn on recent event organised by him, which was duo group shoot with Charliee on the beach.

Shawn is a lovely guy and it's very easy and fun to work with him.

The event went very well and was organised brilliantly.

I have seen a few images taken by Shawn on the event and they look absolutely stunning.

I'd love to work with him again in the future!

Thanks Shawn :)

I attended one of Shawn's "Little" events :)

Normally I have been a bit disappointed with group shoots, as too many photographers, with too few opportunities and not enough time. Well please be assured Shawn's events are absolutely different!

With two models, properly scouted set of locations, and a constant humorous word or twenty, there was little to be disappointed about!

He curated the event superbly, with plenty of input. Also getting out of the way as needed. Mindful of his "clients", and highly respectful of his models he simply conducted all to perfection.

It certainly helped that the models were superb, well versed in keeping a crowd at bay and posing to perfection all the time.

A great day and I'd highly recommend if you get the chance to attend one of the events planned over the next month or so...

I luckily had a shoot at Fine and DanDee studios where I met Shawn and agreed to shoot.

Shawn's pre coms were excellent and we established what we could achieve. It was great to work with someone with such experience. Shawn shot with ease and we created some fanatic images.

It was great to work with such a realist and someone to listen to and learn more about the industry.

Shawn is relaxed and chilled out on a shoot and great fun to work with. I would highly recommend working with Shawn as a model or as a photographer on one of his events.

Thanks Shawn!

Brilliant well organised walkabout shoot in Brighton last week. Shawn was very helpful and certainly knows his stuff. Charlie and Angel two gorgeous models lit up what was in part an overcast and rainy day with their smiles, array of outfits and poses. Spirits were never dampened. Everything done professionally and timely. Got some really amazing images and want to add more to my catalogue so looking forward to the next shoot. All very highly recommended.

Great workshop at Fine and DanDee studio run by Shawn. Very knowledgeable, down to earth and laid back.

Shawn invited me on a workshop shoot he had organised for me to be the model.

Shawn is a lovely man and easy to get a long with. He is super laid back and friendly which made me feel at ease for the workshop.

I look forward to our next workshop!

Another successful group shoot in brick lane this time organised again by Shawn this time modelling with Charlie , all went well in a very crowded street shoot, expected in a very popular area of London

we managed to get through a few sets , a few wierdos along the way, but that's a busy trendy area of London for you, Charlie you were a legend

Thanks again Shawn

Fareham Studio. I had the pleasure of meeting Shawn at the event he organised as a group shoot with two of the UKs top models. Namely, Charliee & Poppy Haskell.

Shawn set up the lighting for all the sets and explained fully what type of lighting he was trying to achieve.

As you can imagine, this event was sold out, with photographers taking advantage of the opportunity to shoot two models at the top of their game.

Thank you Shawn, I enjoyed your company, the sets, the studio and of course shooting two beautiful girls.

I hope to come to more of your events in future.

Highly recommended...
