Ben attended one of our group nights last night & what a great guy! Easy going, with a great sense of humour! We would definitely recommend him to any model!

We look forward to seeing you soon!

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Ben during my tour of the UK.

He had a bunch ideas ready for the shoot and we managed to work through them quickly. He was friendly, very laid back and totally respectful.

I would be more than happy to work with him again, and I hope to do so in the near future!

I was lucky enough to work with Ben on one of my favourite shoots to date, a big production based on Peaky Blinders shot on location with full costume and regalia! He was a sheer and utter delight to shoot with, indulging me getting (maybe a bit TOO MUCH!) into character, coming up with some great ideas and concepts and generally making the day both fun and productive.

The quality of the finished shots speak for themselves, and are some of my favourite photographs of the year. Top to bottom it was a brilliant experience shooting with Ben and I can't wait to do so again!

I worked with Ben on a photographer workshop organised by Tiptop Photography recently. Ben is an absolute delight to work with; friendly, funny and a complete gentleman. As always, his images from the shoot are beautiful. Hope we get to work with each other again Ben! Thank you for a lovely shoot :) x

Sunday July 31st saw me working with Ben among a wide range of photographers and models brought together by Tip Top Photography for a 'Peaky Blinders' inspired shoot at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley. I simply love the beautiful images Ben came up with that day - I find his portraits both thought-provoking and thoughtful, and great souvenirs of an ever interesting, challenging (in a good way!) and hugely enjoyable day.

Had my first shoot with Ben on Friday in Birmingham. Highly recommended by me :)

Pre-comms were clear and consise meaning i could prepare for the shoot accordingly and everything went as planned.

Ben is completely relaxed to work but also professional, best mix ever. Really great shoot and I can't wait to see our result :) Thanks Ben and good luck with all you have happening in your life. Don't be a stranger X

Worked with Ben for the first time last weekend on a series of shoots we are working on together. He was so helpful advising on locations to suit the looks and his pre communication was absolutely fantastic!!

Ben provided multiple smoke bombs for the shoot also which looked amazing! He has an excellent eye for detail in his images and the final images are absolutely superb! Perfection!

Can't wait for the next.

Met Ben on set, working with Ciara Gallagher for a metallic MU series.

Ben is a fantastic photographer, has a great eye and comes well stocked and prepared for the shoot. He was an absolutely joy to work with, one of the easiest shoots I've ever had. He gave me great direction given difficult light and we had amazing fun with smoke bombs (always a plus)

Happily work with Ben again in a heartbeat!

I worked with the lovely Ben and his friend Phil ("66Phil66" on Purpleport) on a recent tour to the area where they very kindly booked me for half a day at a local studio! Ben was very organised in the booking, had a ton of great ideas but was also happy to incorporate my ideas and madness on the day! I really liked the towel series in particular which was great fun- the bodyscapes were also beautiful and he was a pleasure to work with.

Ben and Phil were very respectful, kind and considerate to work with and made the shoot really enjoyable, allowing for breaks and a good brew! The studio they booked was also a fantastic space with everything a model or photographer needed. I had such a fun and memorable shoot and would love to work together again soon! Thankyou for a lovely day, we must do it again sometime! Highly recommended, Helen x

I had an excellent with Ben the other evening at Tip top studio in Birmingham.

Pre communication was very good and I knew exactly what was needed and what to expect.

Ben was incredibly down to earth, funny and so easy to get along with and work with.

He's nerdy and enjoys gaming too so I can relate to him pretty well :PP.

His lighting skills are very good and he certainly knows how to take to most flattering portraits!

I was wowed by what I saw on the back of he camera , so I am seriously looking forward to he final results.

I would certainly jump at the chance to work with Ben again in the future and I would highly recommend him to other models.

Thank you! :D

My first shoot with Ben was a very last minute booking when his model he had booked let him down, with the little time we had the pre comms were great. Ben knew exactly what he wanted to do, he is very professional, keeps the teas coming, a good laugh & easy to get on with. I would highly recommend working with Ben! the photos we created look great. :)

Ben is always a joy to work with, I had my 4th shoot with him yesterday at tiptop and on location. He is easy going, fun and full of ideas. I always feel happy and comfortable working with Ben and also have a laugh! The pics looked cool too :) highly recommended.

After finally managing to reschedule our first shoot I had the pleasure of working with Ben.

We both got stuck in traffic on our way to the shoot, so I had arrived a bit stressed! Luckily, Ben was very relaxed & calm, he was polite & professional.

We got some beautiful natural light in the bedroom set in the Tip Top Photographu Studio, as well as some fashion & portraits. Ben was a laugh to work with, we got on very easily & I would highly recommend him to any creative.

He's easily one of the most chilled out photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Thanks Ben!

Finally got the opportunity to work with Ben after months of planning and ideas. Everything came together great - Ben knows exactly what he's after and how to get the shot so we managed to get through a few sets of images fairly swiftly! A few images were edited soon after and they're great quality. Would highly recommend Ben and I hope to work with him again soon!
