This was my second shoot with Tony (the first about 2 years ago being one of my favourite shoots of all time!). Last time we shot purely on location and this time we did an evening erotic shoot from my home. I absolutely adore working with Tony :). He is a total gentleman but also has a great sense of humour and the 2 hours we worked together shot by in a blur of giggles and just generally being a bit stupid but by some luck and skill we pulled off some amazing images. Tony came to the shoot with a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve and by working together and exchanging ideas we had 2 hours of very productive fun :)! I can't wait to work with Tony again hopefully in the near future. Very highly recommended :)

Today I had my first shoot with Tony and it was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We shot for 4 hours at Cottage Studios and covered a huge range of looks. The weather allowed us to shoot outside first so we got some lovely location shots before heading into the studio. We shot a number of different sets using all sorts of themes and props :)

Tony is very laid back, really interesting to talk to and a very respectful and professional photographer.

He even bought me a sandwich and some heels for the shoot!

Very highly recommended by me and thank you for a great day!

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Tony at a superb location in London recently.

Tony’s pre coms were superb! Rates, levels and dates were confirmed with ease and a professional attitude.

Tony is a diamond, his approachable personality put me instantly at ease and with this in place we had a very productive 4 hours shooting.

He has a keen eye for lighting and style, and comes complete with an abundance of creativity.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Tony and sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future.

Would I recommend?.... Yes! In a heartbeat! 100% superstar!!!

Thank you for an epic shoot and my first as a Northern girl gone South side x

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Tony last week, it was a superb shoot!

Pre-communications were excellent, and Tony even kept me updated before the shoot as he was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

When he arrived at the location it was evident that we would get on! Non stop chattering all the way to the shoreline I felt instantly at ease :)

We had a short and sweet shoot that evening as we were trying to catch the sunset and it got dark fairly soon but it was epic non the less.

Tony is a wonderful house guest, polite, considerate and a great conversationalist with witty jokes and interesting stories. It was an absolute pleasure to have him stay. The next day we had planned to go out on location but due to the weather being against us we stayed in and shot from my home. It was fun, relaxed and very interesting playing around with different lights and ideas. I especially love the window series we did and can’t wait to see the results :)

I can not recommend Tony enough, great guy, awesome photographer! Thank you so much for such a wonderful couple of days.

Hopefully we will meet again :D

Many thanks

I had an excellent shoot with Shutterman on Tuesday. He is very easy to get on with and gives good direction. Precomms were very good. I hope to work with Shutterman again soon!

I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful photographer for the first time.

We worked together from my home, working on solo and duo sets with Helen Diaz and we got so many stunning images!

Tony is a genuinely lovely person and an absolute gentleman. He is so professional, laid back and very fun to work with! It truly was an absolute delight working with him and I can't wait until next time!

Thank you Tony,

I worked with Tony for the first time the other day at my home with the amazing VOLKOVA and had such a great time! It was our first time working together so I am always a little nervous but we had such a great shoot!

Tony is very professional in his approach, extremely respectful and a gentleman to work with. He was very reliable and bought a great selection of lighting gear which was very useful for the shoot. We experimented with a wide mixture of Fashion to Art nudes and I particularly loved the use of the colour gels! I am looking forward to the uploads as they looked fab on the back of the camera!

Tony is also great company and very relaxed to work with- I really enjoyed the shoot and went away smiling. Thankyou so much Tony and really hope to work with you again soon!

Highly recommended to all, Helen x

I enjoyed a brilliant shoot with Tony yesterday. He is such a nice chap, really lovely to talk to to plan the shoot and even nicer face to face.

as a newbie its really helpful for me to have a little direction and feedback and Tony was great at both.

We had a lot of fun trying out different locations in my house and I loved what he showed me on the back of the camera. The images I've seen so far are really lovely - he is a talented man.

I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Tony, hes great.

As soon as I met Tony, I knew it will be great shoot.

Tony is such a lovely and friendly person. He was absolute pleasure to work with. We done few different styles. Tony was well prepared and full of ideas.

Tony, thank you so much for our shoot, absolutely love photos and i hope I will have a chance to work with you again.

Highly recommend.

I had an amazing shoot with shutterman. He is a lovely man. He is ever so gentle and sweet. We created some amazing images, you can tell he is very hardworking. We have comnunicated effectively and really enjoyed our time together. Im never going to forget it. I do recommend him without a doubt.

Do I recommend Tony for the second time after a full day of pure epicness? You bet I do! :D

I'm still in awe at all the amazing sets we conjured up at Joel Hicks Photographic... and how perfectly improvised it was after a change of direction with the ideas/plan for the day. I think that shows just how good a team rapport is because we had no problem at all filling the day full of innovation and spur of the moment looks as and when we saw an opportunity. :) Some of the best images can occur this very way and Tony captured so many sublime moments, I cannot give him enough merit for that... shooting into the sun/shooting creative studio lighting for a particular mood, shooting softer looks... he nailed it all and each collection of images had something absolutely exceptional. :) Tony puts a great deal of care and effort into his work, he will take action to better angles and work different lighting to get variations which cleverly create a different image out of a similar pose. All genius ways of thinking as he has a truly artistic eye for creating stunning work across the list of genres. :D That's what's nice about working with Tony: in a single shoot we can cover elegant, sensual, elaborate, quirky, fun, glamorous - you name it! It's challenging for a photographer to switch so effectively across lots of different styles as it's the composition and mood that can make a shot. But Tony got it! :D

And of course there were no shortage of laughs once again! I think when we shoot we somehow manage to magically create these extra time-stop moments where we can happily chatter about everything and everything (quite literally) but on the same note at the end of the day you look back at what we've done and there are so many amazing images in the bag. Now that's some skill! :D The best part is... even though Tony and I have magical time-stopping abilities during which time we go at it for the chinwag/brew drinking championships; it still feels like time has flow by at the end of the shoot! Now work that one out! :P He is such a fantastic chap, I will bellow it from the rooftops for all models to hear because it's always a guarantee of a positive shoot. Relaxed, creative, courteous, down to earth... every good value that makes a model 1000% in the zone happy and driven to rock that teamwork.

Next time is always one to look forward to! Thank you ever so much Tony... And thank you for tolerating my crazy body-painting brainwave, :P you shot it like a champ!

I had my first shoot with Tony today and it was awesome! We shot in the beautiful factory studio in central London. The studio was totally gorgeous and Tony made the most out of the brilliant features. He was very creative with lots of ideas to keep is busy for the whole shoot and gave just the right amount of direction when I needed it.

I really enjoyed the shoot, and really hope I get the opportunity to work with him again. From what I saw of the pictures on the camera, I know they are going to be great and I'm really excited to see them!

I would recommend working with Tony if you get the chance. He is a genuine, friendly, polite and fun guy to work with! :)

Yippee! Yayyy! Hurray! :D Tony and I finally had our wonderful shoot together after missing out previously with truly unfortunate circumstances... But to be honest, our shoot puts true meaning to "everything happens for a reason" because in the very beginning we discussed the hopes of being blessed with nice skies etc. out on location... When we got around to then working together, it was one of those days where everything just fell so beautifully into place! We summoned the most amazing sky at Joel Hicks Photographic, got wonderful golden evening light and even did some shooting in the studio as well with a totally different feel to the images. I could rave until the end of this year about how much of a productive shoot it was: Tony got the full wrath of my bonkersness and the pair of us just had an almighty laugh from start to finish. :)

I have always been able to communicate with Tony really effectively: he is on the ball with PurplePort discussions about ideas and what not but will also text if he needs to which is so handy for model when you literally have admin coming out of your ears. He's so passionate about his photography that it inspires you as a model before you have even shot together... Now that we have, it will be even more lovely on future shoots because you always bounce off each other better and better. That said: I commented on the day of our shoot about how it felt like we had already worked together - Tony is so easy to gel with and whilst he puts amazing creative ideas forward which he wants to achieve, he will wholeheartedly support models who can give their own input. I really felt a lovely team relationship when we worked together and the shots have come out absolutely stunning (and that's an understatement!)

Not only is this gent kind, funny, respectful and conscious of the models comfort at all times: he's also a very good photographer and cam adapt to capture different moments of beauty in both natural light and controlled studio light settings. We got a great deal of range produced in the different sets and spent a lot of time chatting/putting the world to rights and talking about the most crazy things from the buzz of a shoot to global warming!! I had so much fun working with Tony and I cannot wait to do so again!

Thank you for a wonderful shoot!

Well where do I start??? I had the most fantastic shoot with Tony yesterday at Joel hicks location- pre-shoot communications were excellent & easy. The actual shoot was amazing, Tony was polite, patient & imaginative. He made me feel comfortable at all times & made sure I was safe, (very) warm & well looked after.

Not only did he care about my comfort as the model he also cares about the images. He took his time & put in a lot of effort to get great shots.

I can not wait to see the results

By far one of he best shoots I've had in ages & can't wait to do it again

I think it's safe to say I highly recommend & wouldn't hesitate to encourage others to shoot if try are lucky enough to have the chance

Thank you for a lovely day
