Creativity Hub Events

Simon is one of those rare people who can see images before they're taken. He can find new angles, places, ideas in the flick of a switch and he has the ability to weave stories into every frame he shoots.

Away from the camera he is considered, thoughtful, kind and friendly and is a wonderful personality to have on set.

We loved hosting Simon at our event last weekend and we'd welcome him back in a heartbeat.

Had my first shoot with Simon today and I absolutely loved it! We had a perfect weather so we shot around a few different locations around Southampton. I got to say, light was really on our side today.

Simon is a genius at capturing fashion images that have something different to them. We originally planned on shooting for a few hours but we got so many amazing pictures that there was really no need for shooting more.

I definitely recommend Simon to any model and I’m looking forward to working with him again :)

I had a wonderful time shooting with Simon for a group walkabout event with Angel and I. We shot various locations in Brighton, Simon came with great ideas and really utilised both the city and seaside scenes to capture some stunning images. He's a fantastic photographer and also creates really cool edits! Simon is professional, fun to work with, nice to be around, and a great laugh with lots of witty lines to keep you humoured! Thank you Simon and I hope to work with you again, 100% recommend! :)

Simon came to mine and Elle Beth's Beltcraft event, and his ideas were brilliant! He is always a fun one to shoot with, plenty of laughs and even brought a fabulous vintage dress. I love that he looks for different images, going against the grain. His images speak for themselves, I always adore how he shoots me. We've shot a fair few times now and its always enjoyable. Highly recommended! Some of the best portraits captured for sure, he has something special.

The exact date we worked together has slipped my mind, apologies, but Simon is fantastic - very prompt and clear with communication, fun, accommodating and professional. We got a bulk load of great images in such a short space of time and shot at various cool different spots found walking around my area. Definitely recommended! Thanks Simon!

Ah. Now. This fellow is just fackin' incredible - I shot with Simon at the beautiful location of Studland, and spent the entire time giggling, high fiving, shooting, chatting, rolling around on beds, floors and in the car, and trying not to fall over. As you do. Simon took all of this into his stride like a pro, I was very impressed! He is such a funny, sweet individual, with bags of enthusiasm and an awesome eye for creating amazing images - just work with him! NOW! He's a beauty.

Highly recommended by this Celtic nutjob.

Well what can I say that his portfolio doesn't..... Simon booked me for the studland shoot this weekend just gone and I am so pleased that he did, he is absalutly fantastic!! Accompanied by a fantastic MUA joules, I think we made a great team putting all our ideas together.

Simon is respectful, creative, talented, punctual, professional and such a pleasure to work with!

I would highly reccomend him to any model and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again!

Thanks Simon!

I worked with Simon at Studland Bay House very recently and had such a MENTAL, fun day!! Simon had very kindly booked the amazing Jools MUA who was absolutely sensational and designed three different looks for Hair and Makeup over the course of the day! We really were the dream team and had such a lovely day together! The day was full of laughter, banter and madness, truly!

Simon is such a lovely gentleman- everything you could wish for in a photographer; a talented photographer, kind, considerate, charming and FUN! I wasnt very well in the morning and Simon and Jools completely lifted my spirits over the course of the day and made the day so super creative, engaging and very enjoyable that I soon forgot my woes and was bouncing from the ceilings, high as a kite from coffee! Which in hindsight possibly wasnt the best idea as I am super sensitive to it! ;)

It was my first time working together with Simon and Jools and I couldn't have wished to have worked with such lovely, talented, creative people! Thankyou for such a lovely and memorable day, full of laughter, I didn't want to let you both go! I absolutely loved the photographs we achieved together and looking forward to seeing the results. You both made my weekend and I really really really hope we work together again soon! Super highly recommended, Helen x

So Simon messaged me about a last minute shoot, I'm so pleased I was available to work with him! A great person to be around, funny, enthusiastic and has a creative vision. Simon was relaxed and happy to 'go with the flow' having not worked with me or at my home.

We pushed the boat out with some shots, and styles and even lenses that neither of us were massively confident in using but it worked! The shots looked lovely, natural and I think we nailed it!

I would recommend Simon to any model, of any level of experience and I really look forward to working with Simon again!

Another awesome shoot with Simon! I applied to his very last-minute casting for a few hours on the beach tonight - the wind was less than forgiving but the light was stunning. We worked quickly through a few sets before retiring to the warmth of the local Prezzo where Simon very generously bought me dinner. As always, the shoot was productive, fun and laid-back. Simon is one of my favourite people to work with and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Thanks for another great shoot!

Simon came onto one of mine and gemma Huh's fashion day at Beltcraft studio in London.. We worked with natural light and on the day the light wasn't at its best. But wow! He made it work..

Loved the shoot & can't wait to work with Simon again

Big high five
