I had a brilliant shoot today with Simon, He was friendly and made me feel comfortable straight away. He gave good direction, we managed to get so many amazing shots.

I hope to work with Simon again very soon and I strongly recommend him to others.

Big Shot Studio

Simon attended the studio again yesterday for a shoot with model Zuzka, he brought along a very impressive collection of guitars to use as props and even had his own handmade guitar with him.

Simon managed to get some really atmospheric shots during his time here and as before he was respectful of the model and of the studio environment. He was professional and made the model feel at ease.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon, he is a friendly and very chatty guy and not to mention a very talented guitarist too. Nice to see you in the studio again Simon!

Another superb shoot with Simon on a 'girl and guitars' themed shoot. Loved modelling for him and it was another excellent and positive experience creating images that we are both delighted with! Simon is a great communicator and puts one at ease, which really lends itself well to capturing great images. I would unreservedly recommend Simon as a terrific photographer that has a real eye for great angles and is very perceptive in terms of the light and angles that will work. This is the second time I've shot with Simon - following our successful elegant fashion and milk bath shoot at Thurston Lodge. We are already arranging our next shoot together! Highly recommended to anybody!

I had a really great experience shooting with Simon! Let me tell you, he arrived at shoot..over-prepared! He had a great attitude, fantastic camera and even studio lights..(our photoshoot was outdoors). If needed he gave me directions and was okay if I wanted to do things my own way. Generally amazing person, and definitely would recommend this photographer.

Simon-40 was absolutely fantastic to work with. Very easy to get on with with excellent pre-shoot communications (supported with a Pinterest board he initiated and we both contributed to) and a fantastic, positive and creative attitude that lent itself well to achieving great shots. I recommend him 100% and am looking forward to shooting with him again!

I had a wonderful shoot with Simon this past weekend at Wolfe Cottege Studio and was thrilled with the amount of stunning images we've achieved. He was friendly and well-organised, and had a great balance of directing me for some shots but also allowing me to pose freely for others. I would highly recommend to any models out there who are looking for someone with great photography skills and a creative outlook!

Really enjoyed shooting with Simon at the murder mile studio. He was very professional, easy to work with and produced some really cool photos ! Definitely recommended

Wolfe Cottage Studio

Simon came to our first Saturday Shenanigans last weekend and as ever was highly accommodating ( . . . as we'd had a last minute change of model!) But no complaint from Simon, he was as enthusiastic and encouraging supportive to the model and seemed to really enjoy himself.

In recent months, Simon has become quite a regular to the studio and it's always a pleasure to see him every time he comes.

Highly recommended

I had the great pleasure of working with the lovely Simon for the first time yesterday at Wolfe Cottage Studio. I stepped in at the last minute as the booked model had cancelled the day before, so I had been a bit concerned that the photographers taking part in the event might be a little disappointed at the last minute change in model. Simon helped me completely get past these concerns - he was so kind and positive from the very first click of the shutter, and his enthusiasm continued throughout the day. Simon is up there, in fact, among the most enthusiastic photographers I have ever met! He really is a ray of sunshine, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He also creates some blooming marvellous images - I can't wait to see some of the results, which looked awesome in the back of the camera!

Thanks so much Simon for a lovely shoot, and lets hope we can work together again soon :)

This has been my second shoot with Simon and i am certain we have created some amazing images once again! He came up with great ideas before the shoot which i found very interesting and helpful and he is very professional.

Shooting with Simon is always great fun and i will definitely be shooting with him again.

I would definitely recommend to other models!

Thanks again.

Had a fabulous second shoot with Simon! We first worked together at a clubnight for Wolfe Cottage Studios, and returned there for our one to one shoot yesterday.

Simon is friendly, professional and very easy to get along with, so there were many laughs from the get go. Prior comms were great and Simon conveyed perfectly the style he was aiming for and what items he thought would be good for me to bring.

I threw together a bag of things to fit our chosen style, which we quickly got through and selected a range of outfits. Simon was very aware of the sort of images he was looking for and directed posing comfortably - a great trait when working with newer models that not all posses. However he is also able to explain his ideas so well that it is easy to pose freely for those more experienced. So all in all I would 100% recommend to models of all levels of experience.

Shooting with Simon is always a blast and he not only deliveries wonderful imagery but also brings a great energy to the shoot, adding lots of fun and creative ideas, which I believe always shows in the pictures.

Simon has been to my house countless times now and we regularly shoot together on various paid, TFP and group shoots.

When I was organising the shoot Simon was really helpful and he kindly offered to collect the make-up artist and take her back home after the shoot because my car was in the garage. Simon always goes out of his way for me and no favour is ever too big. Even though Simon had a very early start he did not complain once and we were all happily sat in the living room chatting whilst I got hair and make-up done.

Simon is incredibly polite and seems to get along with everyone that he meets. He has no problem sharing his equipment and he's very good with newbies. Simon's knowledge of photography and camera equipment is really strong and he's more than happy to share some tips and tricks.

He got some fabulous shots and Simon always lets me pick my favourite shots to be edited. His turn around time is very quick.

I would happily recommend Simon to other models!

After the DC Comic group shoot Simon booked me for an additional hour of shooting. The theme was Gothic elegance and he got some beautiful shots. Simon gives direction well but also allowed me to do my own thing and I feel that we worked well together. This meant that we were able to create some stunning images. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final products!

Simon, is an absolute delight to work with on shoots I've worked with him on 2 shoots prior to Sunday and every time hes friendly, hard working, easy to get along with and an outstanding photographer/editor.

Not only did he go above and beyond for this shoot by collecting and returning me home, he was so hard working and some of the photos i briefly saw on the day looked phenomenal. I can't wait to see the end results! I look forward to working with him on future shoots! :)

Big Shot Studio

Simon is a genuinely lovely guy and we have found him to be really friendly. His pre shoot communication is always spot on and he is very respectful of the studio environment. He knows how to work in a studio capacity and is familiar with a studio setting and lighting.

He behaves professionally and respectfully with models and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other models and studios. Simon it was a pleasure to have you in the studio and as you already know you are welcome back anytime.

First time working with Simon at a clubnight at Wolfe cottage studios, 100% recommended for both new and experienced models.

Simon is friendly, very easy to conversate with and has a keen eye for creating imagery. As we were working together during an event I am looking forward to shooting one on one and getting to develop shooting styles together further.

If youre looking to book a shoot with Simon, jump to it! :)

2nd shoot with Simon and wow! We covered a range of themes including horror and conceptual, some of the best being the levitation set. I am keen to see the results and I am sure he will deliver just as he did on our first shoot. Simon is a down to earth, chatty and understanding chap. Highly recommended.

I've worked previously with Simon on a shoot with another model AJ, most recently he asked me to help on a shoot and the images I've received are amazing!

His work and level of professionalism is incomparable to anyone else I've worked with before, he's polite, attentive and always informative to any model and Mua.

I can't recommend him enough to work with, he's an absolute delight and talented photographer, I look forward to working with him in future photoshoots.

10/10 😁🎉
