Another super shoot with Ben and his partner in crime Phil!

I always look forward to working with them as they are very creative and we always get amazing results. We hadn’t caught up since I last hired an Airbnb in the midlands area back in 2020, so it was nice to work with them again after so long.

We worked our way through a few different looks, with some moody/voyeur style boudoir, lifestyle in the kitchen and sitting room, and ending with a edgy wet hair look. From what I saw on the back of their cameras we got some incredible images!!

Not only that but they are both super fun to work with and great company :)

Highly recommended and hope to catch up with them again next time!!

Ben! Wow! What can I say, he’s a legend!

We had the best shoot at a location I’d booked In Birmingham on my tour, we agreed to this shoot fairly last minute as I knew Ben was great to work with before!

The whole shoot flew by and was so utterly fun and enjoyable ! The highlight of the shoot that I can’t leave out of the reference is that Ben leaped over a fence for the shot and kind of well… ripped his jeans 👖 ha! What a legend! He’ll do anything to get that shot!

Proper fun shoot and one I won’t forget!

So glad I was his first shoot back & hope he booked in many more & id love to work with him again

Thanks

Highly recommended :)

Had the pleasure of working with Ben today and had a absolute blast!

Awesome photographer, with beautiful ideas and creative eye, and a joy to be around!

Super professional, friendly, and a good laugh too :-)

From what I could see from the back of the camera the results looked amazing!!!

Can’t wait to see the results.

Highly recommended and really hope we can work together again soon.

Thanks so much

It was great catching up with Ben again last week on my recent tour of Birmingham!

He joined his friend Phil on the slot that he had booked with me and it was a pleasure working with them both again, especially as Ben unfortunately missed out when they tried to book me together last year!

The two of them work together incredibly well, sharing the time evenly and fairly and they are both great company to be around too!

I adore the images I have seen so far, and have even shared one on my own instagram page too which was very kind of Ben to let me do :)

Highly recommended by me and hope to shoot again soon!

It was Ben's first time at our studio, he arrived early and ready to shoot. He was friendly and respectful also a great photographer. All round nice guy. Highly recommended. Welcome back anytime.

This was my second shoot with Ben, this time not on a portfolio builder.

It was absolutely fantastic! Ben was a joy as usual to shoot with and must be one of the easiest people to get on with.

Ben and phil had lots of great ideas for our shoot, making it so enjoyable and meaning we came away some fantastic results. He is a really talented photographer and it was a lovely boost to my confidence.

We had lots of laughs and the time just flew by!

I would definitely highly recommend Ben to all models of all experiences. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Loved shooting with Ben & Phil the other day at a new studio in Birmingham, working through a variety of different styles we got lots done and a ton of awesome images to go along with it!

Ben has a great sense of humour, is laid back and a really great guy to work with, I hope I see more of him in the future!

Thanks once again!

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome Ben to our studio today for his first visit.

Pre shoot coms were excellent and the team arrived well ahead of time for the shoot.

They came well prepared with a basic plan in mind and after finding the locations they quickly set about creating images.

Throughout the shoot Ben was a complete professional. Away from the camera he was the perfect guest.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Ben to any model or studio. Hopefully he will be back again soon.

Shot with Ben last Friday, he came to the shoot full of ideas, and knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot. Ben is organised, friendly and chatty yet keeps a professional demeanour throughout. An absolute pleasure to work with and if highly recommend him to any model considering working with him. Can't wait to shoot with him again. Highly recommended x

I had a wonderful shoot with Ben and Phil who teamed up together to shoot with me at Image-Red Studio, Tamworth a couple of months ago. I had seen Ben's work before on other models profiles and had always thought they were awesome and that he'd be someone I'd like to work with but the opportunity had never before arisen.

So when we finally did arrange it I was really looking forward to it. We planned to shoot some dance (ballet) style shots mainly with some portraiture and lingerie too. The day far exceeded my expectations as they were both so lovely and the shoot was at a really nice relaxed pace with breaks for lunch and tea/coffee but equally we got some absolutely belting images that I really love so definitely shows it's quality over quantity :D

Would highly recommend Ben & would 100% work with him again in a breath :)

Thank you Ben,

I always love working with Ben. He is such a great photographer, but most importantly one of the nicest guys and always great company throughout.

shoot number three now and counting.. Bens face is a familiar one that I hope to see regularly, his shoots are a breeze and I am always so happy with the results :) totally profession and easy going guy..

Don't hesitate working with Ben, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended always by me :)

Ben booked me for half a day at Image Red studio recently, he shared the shoot with another photographer. Communication before the shoot was exceptional, he was responsive very quickly which is always a help when I have limited admin time! The shoot itself was brilliant, I enjoyed working with the two of them immensely, they worked very well as a team and were always respectful and professional. I modelled to art nude with them both (they didn't shoot together, but separately) and I felt completely at ease to do my job. I would certainly recommend Ben to other models as a safe photographer, but he was also very skilled and took some beautiful images which he shared with me afterwards.

Incredible shoot with Ben at the weekend!

We worked out way through a few different sets, and himself and Phil looked after me very well and even provided lifts to make my life easier.

Really enjoyed working on his towel series with him and from what I've seen so far we got some beautiful images together :D

Highly recommended by me and hope to work with him again!

I loved working with Ben on Saturday. It was our first time working together, having been speaking about arranging it for a while. It was totally worth the wait, Ben was great fun to work with and produces brilliant images and is a really nice, outgoing and friendly guy. What more could you want?!

Really looking forward to seeing the images and hope it wont be too long until we get the chance to work together again!

Thank so much Ben :)

I shot with simian again recently at Sandon studios. It was lovely to work together again and catch up after not shooting together for so long. He had loads of great ideas and the images are stunning. Hope to not leave it so long next time! Highly recommended!

Serenity.

Ben attended Mick Payton and Jack Russell's workshop last Sunday and it was an absolute pleasure to meet/work with him. He has a lovely and friendly way about him and is so easy to get along with. It's obvious from his portfolio that he's very talented and takes some phenomenal images.

I definitely hope I can work one 2 one with him at some point!

I'd highly recommend Ben to all models - a must to work with :)

I shot with the lovely ben yesterday at TMA studio in Birmingham with Robyn Summers.

Ben had arranged the studio and the MUA and had all ideas ready to go - super organised!

Ben was funny, lovely and easy to get on with throughout the makeup process and shooting - he even had bought me and robyn outfits ready for the creative ideas he had planned!

it was an awesome shoot and images looked fab on the back of the camera!

Ben was also nice enough to give me and Robyn a lift back in to the centre of b'ham which was much appreciated :D

Look forward to working with ben again soon!
