I had a lovely second shoot with Phil at Pavilion Studios. As always, he is polite and so easy to talk to. The shoot flew by and we managed to get through a lot of different sets and outfits! From what I saw BOC there are some incredible images that he took. A huge thank you for being such a star and I hope to work together again soon!

Had the pleasure to shoot with Phil when I visited Edinburgh for the first time during the Easter bank holiday. I had previously seen Phil’s amazing work and great references and I was very pleased we got the opportunity to shoot.

Phil’s pre shoot comms were excellent and when we met on the day of the shoot, we quickly built a rapport.

Phil had chosen a fantastic location which worked brilliantly for the style of the shoot. We even got access to a private residents garden which was a great addition to the shoot.

Phil was an absolute joy to work with, he communicated really well throughout the shoot and it was lovely to be in his company. He captured some outstanding images.

Highly recommended and I hope to work together again on my next visit to Edinburgh!

I had my first shoot today with Phil at a studio day at Pavilion Studios. He is a delight to work with. He is very kind and has such a great sense of humour and we clicked instantly. We both like to chat but that doesn't mean that we don't get things done! From what I saw on the back of the camera he got some amazing photos. Highly recommend working with him and hope to do so again soon. Can't wait to see the images :)

I've shot with Phil mannnyyyyy times now and as always we had a great time.

We chat for way too long and yet somehow always shoot a mad amount of sets and create some great images.

This time we shot at my new studio space, Phil was creative with the space and we shot some different styles that we haven't in the past, it worked a treat.

Highly recommended as always! I look forward to our next shoot :)

Phil, I just love his energy! He’s so happy, bubbly snd fun! He brings a vibe that no one can match!

I made a friend in Phil and he really is a diamond behind the camera! He knows his light.. isn’t afraid of having a laugh and a chat & wow! We got through some sets in our shoot.

Truly blessed to have modelled for him

Can’t wait until next time

Thanks

Highly recommended:)

Highly recommended and can’t wait til next time!

Fab shoot with Phil last week at Synergy Photography studio. We have worked together on a number of occasions but this shoot has so far been my favourite. He came to me with some brilliant, clear and creative ideas for looks so I knew exactly what he was looking for and the styling. Phil is very professional and relaxed. His pre communications is great. He allows for free posing, creative input and also knows when to direct to get the best possible images. Highly recommended.

Yet another awesome shoot with Phil, we always have a lovely time, though we do chat more than we shoot!

We got some cracking shots, probably some of the best yet.

Highly recommend as always.

Much love,

Another awesome shoot with Phil- and oh boy did we really crack through the sets during this one at Pavilion!!

Maybe our most productive shoot yet!

Love the results and CAN'T WAIT to see some more edits from this shoot. We were on fire!!

Hope to do it again next year! :D

Another awesome shoot with Phil!

This time we did a 4 hour shoot at the apartment I had hired in Edinburgh, and as usual it was so much fun!

We worked our way through a few different sets, amongst all the usual chatting haha :P And from what I saw on the back of the camera we got some awesome images!

Hope to see Phil on my next tour of Scotland, or on a Summers Abroad trip in the future - that's if his wife allows him now that me and Mr Summers have given him the push to buy a new Sony camera :P hahaha!

Artemis Fauna

I had another great four hour shoot with Phil during my Scotland tour- this time we shot at Synergy studio.

God did we have a hoot- oh and in between the chat, laughing and...urm, interesting conversation..!! We took some really awesome images!!

Really enjoy working with Phil, always have a great time and leave with a smile on my face!

Can't wait to see more results from the shoot and hope to work with Phil again in August next year (or before) ;) :)

I had such an amazing time shooting with Phil today at Synergy studio. We shot for a half day but the time just flew by.

He was polite and friendly from the beginning but we were having such a good laugh by the end! Somehow, despite managing to insult my feet, my butt and anything else going I'm still leaving him a good reference so he must have done something right!

We shot a whole load of styles but Phil took time to set each one up, not just rattling off thousands but thinking about what we were creating which was a really nice creative atmosphere. He also shot on both digital and a beautiful film camera which was super exciting to work with!

Phil was really respectful when directing and an all round interesting person, I can't wait to see the images and would happily recommend him to others!

Thanks again!

Scarlot :)

Another wonderful shoot with Philip on my recent studio day at Synergy!

It was a pleasure catching up with him and from what I saw on the back of the camera, and the few results he has posted so far, we got some seriously awesome images. All whilst having a good old natter about photography, cameras and holidays haha!

Highly recommended by me and hope to shoot with him again next time I visit - and maybe have him on a Summers Abroad trip next year too :P

I had some time to shoot with Philip on my studio weekend at Pavilion studios in West lothian.

What a brilliant few hours we had together.

Philip is creative, comes prepared. Makes the model feel comfortable. Is a laid back man who I got on well with and had a laugh with whilst also creating fab images that I cannot wait to see.

Looking forward to shooting again in future

Would recommend

Brilliant shoot with Philip and Ziggy at the beginning of the month. We started with a natural look and ended with a super fun pink beauty look. This shoot was great to be a part of and I can't wait to see the final results. Philip is highly recommended and hopefully will get creative again in the future.
