I had my second shoot with Karl on Saturday and I laughed from start to finish but we still managed to get the shots we wanted!

Karl is a great photographer and a great person.He knows what kind of shots he wants and will go to any lengths to get them(isn't that right Alvin as in chipmunk?!).We have already planned out next 2 shoots and I can't wait!

Well this is my second shoot with Karl (this man is glutton for punishment :)) karl was the first photographer to book me for the whole morning of my first studio day before I even set up the casting call (I felt touched) Karl messaged me continuously the last month or so with ideas for our shoot and I was think oh my lord what's he going to do these ideas are bonkers :) no surprise the ideas worked a treat and Karl nailed it,his direction was second to none,lighting and posing even a little tinsel just worked,Karl is a good friend of mine and his work keeps getting better and better,Karl presented me with a couple of gifts before our shoot Brussels sprouts are lovely this time of year haha,Karl my friend thank you for being you and making my studio day as great as it was

Karl booked me to shoot at the Natural Light Studio (some new place.. ;) ) a few weeks ago. His pre-comms were great which was appreciated as I needed to fit the shoot in around working nights full time! He booked me for a variety of sets from topless to fashion and also aerial hoop and fire (though it turned out to be too bright in the studio to do fire in the end!). On the day he was great to work with, super friendly and respectful, and made sure I was happy and safe (telling me to ensure I warmed up enough before doing the aerial set). We christened the studio's new trampoline too, doing some jumping shots which was great fun! I very much recommend Karl, he is a lovely gent and great fun to work with - would be very happy to shoot with him again :)

Natural Light Spaces

Karl has been in the studio a number of times and is a good regular in our space.

A great guy to work with, excellent coms, fantastic forward planning for his shoots and always well prepared with all the props he needs.

He works well with the models and is always respectful and polite with them.

Respectful of the studio and its equipment.

Karl is highly recommended by the studio and is always welcome to shoot here.

I got to shoot with Karl on Friday at Arrow's Natural Light Photography course. He was a great photographer, and we had a great time! He tried some new ideas, and I think they worked out! We communicated well and had a great time shooting. Highly recommend and excited to work with again!

Well Karl was my last photographer to shoot with me on Saturday at the lovely new studio The Natural Light Studio. He is so full of life and such a joy to model for. In communications over purpleport Karl came up with a very fun concept with Ted his bear and that was just such a laugh to do. Hehehe.

We did a few shots outside and some indoors and Karl worked well with just natural light and studio lights too. We got some really cool art nude, glamoury shots and fashion shots! I am very happy with what I saw on the back of the camera and I can not wait to see photos going up on Karl's portfolio. I do hope to model for Karl again soon in the future and I urge others to do the same :)

Ecce!

I worked with Karl on Arrow Photography London's group workshop and he was a great guy to work with - polite and friendly, and he took on board Mike's advice in creating some beautiful and unique images. I would happily work with Karl again and recommend him to others :)

Karl attended my very first group shoot today and what a lovely bloke he is!

Just an all round decent, lovely fella to spend a day with.

He was anxious as he knew I fully intended to push him out of his comfort zone and push him I did!! Everything I threw at him he grasped quickly and added his own spin to it.

Took some awesome images from what I've seen so far too!

Highly recommended from me!

Great evening had by all! Karl came to my home studio (MaNix Studio-Peterborough) to shoot male model MA77 (holding a fresh hot dominos for us all to eat-amazingly kind!!) I had the brief opportunity to nip in and have a few solo and some couples shots too, Karl was kind enough to capture our little 3year old Austin too. Karl has a great sense of humour, doesn't take himself to seriously and is laid back on shoots which makes them a breeze every time. He give clear direction, is chilled and professional and so of course he is recommended once again by me :)

Well done on your first FPI - pleased for you!!!

MA77

Had a great shoot with Karl this evening. It was a very relaxed yet productive shoot all done with a friendly and fun atmosphere. I'd recommend him to anybody and he's certainly welcome at ours anytime.

Shile Road...what can I say, what a lovely genuine down to earth guy. After a rotten morning on the road did he turn up stressed and harassed like I would have? No he arrived with a huge smile and a steaming coffee for me. (Talk about knowing how to win a girl over!!) He was very trusting having left me to decide outfits and themes (brave brave man!) thankfully I think he liked most (if not he was too much of a gent to say). He was patient, kind, enthusiastic, fun and great conversationalist. I loved the pics I saw back of camera and am looking forward to seeing properly. I would thoroughly recommend working with Karl and sincerely hope I get the chance to work with him again. Thank you!!

Well, what can I say about Karl? He's an absolute pleasure to work with :D

He turned up on time (early actually) with lots of idea's for our shoot but also let me pose myself. He was extremely easy to get along with, chatty, friendly and professional throughout :)

We got though a number of different styles during the 4 hours and I look forward to working with him again soon!

100% recommended by me :D

What a brilliant end to a brilliant day! Karl booked the last few hours on my studio day at Map. We'd discussed several ideas in pre-comms so I knew what to expect, and we covered all that and probably more in the time. We finished off with a flour shoot which required good communications and timing, but that was no problem for Karl, meaning we ended up with some great images. A laid-back and chatty guy, I'd happily recommend him to others and hopefully we can shoot again some time.

Sorry for the late reference!

Karl is a brilliant guy to work with! He is always great to talk to and have a laugh with, really down to earth and makes me feel at ease.

Karl has improved in many areas of his work and I am confident he will continue to do so.

He is happy to explore various genres, take suggestions as well as having enough ideas of his own and props to go with that.

Any direction given was good and easy to follow and Karl also enjoyed shooting with Mia too and got some lovely photos of her too.

I would definitely recommend Karl,to any model or studio and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Had my first shoot with Karl today after he answered my casting. It was last minute and so he didn't know what to expect from the location,however Karl turned up and nothing phased him.

Karl is a model's dream photographer to work with - as he turns up with bags of energy and enthusiasm and allows the shoot to be full of fun. He will direct where needed, but the shoot was a collaboration throughout. I am already enjoying the results from the day.

I recommend Karl to all models - you won't be disappointed.

I look forward to our next shoot :)

Always live shooting with Karl. He has an abundance of ideas so you're never just posing for the sake of it. Karl getting more and more creative and his photography is improving rapidly. It's been a pleasure to have worked with him for so long.

Thanks again Karl, stay cool!

Had a great shoot with Karl at my home on Monday. It was a very last minute shoot but comm's on Karl's side were brilliant all details were laid out and confirmed in a couple of messages! On the day he arrived on time and was happy to be flexible.

Greeting me with a smile Karl was friendly and chatty, more than happy to sit and have a cuppa and talk about the shoot etc...

We had a simple plan and the shot itself flowed perfectly at a nice and relaxed pace... The shots we got were brilliant!... We shot some lovely natural lingerie work and some macro work....

The shoot itself flew by with lots of chats, giggles and images!...

I would certainly recommend Karl to other models....

Thanks again! And I hope we get to work together again in the future!

Today I had my first shoot with Karl on Skegness Beach.

He is a fantastic photographer,very easy to get on with and a proper laugh.He always made sure that I felt comfortable with the levels.He even bought me breakfast and snacks!

I have not laughed so much on a shoot for a long time.i'm not sure what was funnier,Karl sinking in the sand or getting locked in the car park!!

I can't wait to see the images and really looking forward to working with Karl again.

Highly recommend 😊

I was lucky to meet and work with Karl on my studio day at Map Studios earlier this month. Karl is full of great ideas, I was impressed by how creative his ideas are :) Karl arrived on time and ready to shoot, he is very easy to work with, has a great sence of humor and knows what he wants to achieve from the shoot :)

All the photos I've see so far from the day they look fantastic.

Highly recommended to all

Thanks Karl,
