If I would recommend him? All his references speak for themselves . :)

This was my second shoot with Simon but this time we ventured out on to location.

Only a short shoot but Simon has brilliant ideas and knows how he is going to achieve them.

It was so lovely to catch up and work together again and I think we achieved some great shots.

Thank-you, Simon! :D

I worked with Simon during my Eastbourne tour on a workshop and 1-1. He also hosted me whilst I was in the area which I am most grateful for!

Simon is an incredibly creative artist and it shows in his photography. I loved the images we created together.

He was committed to our shoot even thought things were against him so I thoroughly appreciate that.

The workshop was run really well, He was great with time management and helped me to get a further booking.

I really enjoyed my time working with him and I highly recommend and would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Simon!

I worked with Simon for the first time yesterday as part of a studio workshop he was running.

We got talking in advance, which gave me loads of time to prep, communication was on point and Simons professionalism shone through.

On the day I really enjoyed the workshop, lovely photographers and Simon made me feel very welcome and at ease.

Simon is a true all round artist, very creative and funny, we both share a dark sense of humour so had a laugh as well.

After the workshop we had a couple of hours to create pictures of our own and chatted constantly, Simon was very kind, creative, organised and witty! What more could you ask for :)

I really look forward to working with him again, it was an absolute pleasure x

I've been wanting to work with Simon for a while as I really like his mischievous images and finally managed to do it (TFP) yesterday. He came to pick me up from the station and took me to his huge home/studio. We shot in different rooms using a variety of outfits and lighting and felt very comfortable around him at all times. He’s super outgoing,professional, polite and was open to all my mad ideas. At the end of the shoot his friend came by with a lemon cake and we had some tea together which was nice.

He was kind enough to give me lots of jpgs and I’m soooo happy with the results as we got some truly amazing images that I already posted on my port. This man is a multitalented genius. Don’t miss the chance to work with him! Plus he's right in front of the beach :-)

Thanks you so much for everything Simon.

Xx

Yesterday I had my first shoot with Simon. Pre-shoot communications were excellent, he is a very talented, skilled and professional photographer, giving a lot of importance on working with different lighting and his studio is spacious,very well equipped. Simon is very friendly, funny, with a big sense of humor, it's easy to work and get along with him. I had a wonderful afternoon creating beautiful art, I got the pictures back the same day.

I highly recommend him and I'm looking forward to our next shoot! :D

I have just had my first shoot with Simon. His pre-shoot communications were great and he very kindly put me up in his guest room the night before our shoot.

I modelled for a tuition session first and then worked with Simon on a few ideas. Simon is easy to get on with, professional and creative.

Love what I have seen from our shoot! :D

I remember when I fist met Simon at his studio down is Eastbourne and he was super to work with :)

This time I travelled back to Eastbourne for the start of my mini tour and I knew exactly where id be heading straight to Simon's studio :)

Simon is great to be around, made me feel very at home and is someone I would happily work at the studio or on future projects :)

The studio is lovely very well equipped and a great space to work in plenty of room with a place to change and feel comfortable.

I had a wonderful day and looking forward to coming back again very soon

Highly highly recommended :) thank you for a lovely day and use of the studio :) xxxx

I worked with Simon on my trip to the Eastbourne area recently on tour and Simon kindly booked me really short notice after a cancellation on my trip! :) The shoot was great fun, modelling fashion to art nude around Simons home which was being renovated- so many of the walls were fantastic backdrops to model against for the rustic look! Simon is great fun to work with- has a wicked sense of humour, mischievous eyes and is great company- I spent most of the shoot laughing! Thankyou for a lovely shoot and really hope to work together again on a future tour, Helen x

I had the absolutely pleasure of working with Simon last week at him home, Simon welcomed me in and made me feel at home and comfortable. He had set up a little studio day sort of thing, which was lovely to meet new people. Simon is very easy to work with and very easy to get along with, would happily work with him again :D

I had the pleasure of being part of a studio shoot with Simon and other photographers he was teaching. He is a very talented photographer and I found the differences in the importance of lighting fascinating. His skill makes the ordinary become extraordinary and I am extremely pleased with the results we achieved. He is a very easy going and witty man - there wasn't a dull moment! I highly recommend Simon and look forward to working with him again in the future.
