Ben used our facilities today on a Sunday Studio. The first thing you notice about Ben is is sharp wit and sense of humour which puts people at ease quickly. A knowledgeable guy who has ideas and knows what he wants, puts models at ease and treats everyone with a friendly respect that provides a fun atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Had a eventful shoot today with simian.

The changing room set on fire! But we managed to save it and continue to have a awesome shoot!

It was really productive and we got loads of different sets, 800 pictures in 4 hours, i think thats a new record!

Simian was really easy to get along with and really respectful.

Looking forward to working with you again on saturday!

Highly recommended!!

I worked with Ben during a group shoot evening at Tip-Top studio in Birmingham on Monday evening.

Ben was a really nice guy. I know you don't get a lot of time to build 1-2-1 rapport on these events but on each mini session I did my best to talk to people and get to know them a bit :) Ben bought a really cool prop along with him and I enjoyed shooting in it!

The images from the evening looked really great- I loved the variety of ideas and really enjoyed the whole event, it was so much fun! Thanks, Ben- hope to work with you again one day :)

This was my second shoot with Ben and this time it was a 4 hour 1-on-1 shoot at Tip Top. Ben's communication in the lead up to the shoot was perfect, I knew exactly what the themes were, and what I needed to bring clothing/lingerie wise. Ben did a fantastic job at locating me in the train station, and we made our way to the studio. The whole shoot was very relaxing, productive and good fun. I loved each and everyone one of the sets, and for his first time doing bodyscape, I was very impressed with the results. Overall a great experience, and would recommend Ben to anyone. Thank you for booking me :)

Sorry for the delay. I worked with Ben on my very first shoot and was just amazing. As well as ideas he already had, he was coming up with new ones throughout the shoot and was very professional. I would definitely work with Ben again and trust his judgement.

Thanks Ben x

I worked with Ben for the second time at Tiptop Studios Birmingham last Sunday. Ben is polite, easy going and professional photographer, great person to work with. Ben takes some lovely images and always shows me the progress on the back of his camera so I can see what we are achieving. Ben is a lovely person to shoot with and I look forward to to next time we work together.

I am happy to recommend him to other models and creatives out there.

Thanks

Carla :)
