Simon is a fantastic host for modelling at one of his workshops. Dressing room, a hot lunch in a decent lunch hour! Sourced gorgeous wedding dresses. Super fun, kind and made me feel very comfortable and safe on the day.

It was great to get a small amount of shooting time with him too as his work is just brilliant!!

Thanks, hope to do it again sometime.

What an amazing workshop I had with Simon, I am very happy with the way it went. Simon organised everything perfectly and even when travel arrangements changed he was very kind to help me out with it. Simon was very helpful and cooperative on the day of our shoot and ensured I have everything I needed.

Simon is a real professional photographer who built up the mood board distinguishing 8 different looks/ outfits and set up different lighting/backdrops for each of them so it was a total blast. Simon works only with the best photographers so I did enjoy our shoot.

Thanks Simon and I hope to work with you again

Highly recommended,100%

I did my first workshop with Simon and 5 others with "Belly Dancer Molly" it was a great 4 hours that just went way to fast.

Simon was very helpful in setting up my new camera with me, giving me all the settings required to get some fantastic shots, as well as learning new technique's in the studio. I have already booked my next one!

I had an incredible first time working with Simon today. A couple months back, Simon contacted me regarding modelling with aerial hoop, for a group shoot for his photography club. Pre comms were absolutely amazing, all of the necessary information was communicated far in advance, and getting to shoot with him was an absolute pleasure. I would definitely recommend, and hopefully get the chance to work with him again soon! Thank you for a fun evening :)

Did a workshop with Simon and 6 other photographers yesterday. I had an absolute blast. Everyone was so friendly and encouraging. We had a good laugh and created some beautiful shots. Simon made me feel very comfortable and provided me with much needed caffeine and some ice to help my ballet toes recover in between shots. Highly recommend. Hope to work with you soon:)

I had such a lovely day on Saturday modelling on a workshop organised by Simon at a really cute art studio space in Faversham. Simon was super thoughtful and gave me pastries, had plenty of tea and coffee to go round too!

Both morning and afternoon groups were great fun to work with, a lovely group of people, with lots of energy and banter all round!

I really enjoyed the sets I modelled on, the backgrounds were awesome and I especially loved the secret tunnel!

Simon really looks after models and photographers and ensures everyone is happy and gets the shot!

Oh and bonus points for a great playlist!

Simon booked me to work with my local Camera Club as well as a second shoot the following day.

Firstly I want to say that his skills with lighting was wonderful! I loved both the classic and experimental photo set-ups that were used.

It was so refreshing to have a lighting and social set up that encouraged me to natural smile through a variety of shots.

I also loved how Simon ran his workshops! I felt very safe, calm and looked after throughout both the bookings.

Naturally pre-comms were great and clear also.

I thoroughly enjoyed both shoots and would love to do some more again in the future!

Another fantastic shoot with Simon!

Simon organised a model photoshoot day in Faversham. The theme was “Musicals” and Simon’s communication was amazing throughout the run up and on the day; including times and the outfit running order.

He was very helpful in sending a mood board of what costumes would be required for the shoot, with plenty of time to prepare.

On arrival Simon had refreshments for the day, including lunch which was incredibly thoughtful.

The running order of outfits and arrival of photographers for each set was very clear, organised and visible for everyone.

We had lots of laughs and great conversations. I feel I can really be my outgoing self around Simon. He made me feel comfortable in my surroundings and relaxed.

I’ll always be happy to work with Simon and know that it’ll be a fun day! Truly honoured to have a great professional friendship with him.

Thank you again Simon!

I had an awesome shoot with Simon and the Faversham Camera club for their recent Studio Lighting Workshop.

My second time working with Simon and I would 100% recommend him. He’s super kind, professional and easy to get along with; plus coms before the shoot were great

Thanks again for having me, can’t wait till next time 😀

I had the pleasure of shooting with Simon and the rest of the Faversham Camera club again on Monday, this was a really fun one in an awesome location! We had access to a beautiful Glamping site in Canterbury and had absolutely gorgeous weather for it. Simons comms before hand as usual were brilliant and I had no troubles planning outfits as he gave a really great description of the kind of looks and vibes they were after! All in all this was an extremely fun and enjoyable shoot; I hope to work with the club again soon 😀

I had the pleasure of modelling for Simon and a group of photographers at his studio in Kent recently. Pre-comms were excellent and Simon couldn't have been more helpful, both beforehand and on the day. The group was absolutely lovely and the time just flew by! Highly recommended and I hope he'll have me back for another shoot in the future.

Simon made me feel comfortable the whole time and I thoroughly enjoyed his company and our conversations. We had such a good laugh! I would highly recommend working with Simon and look forward to working with him again.

I had a really fun day at Studio Lunapop on a group workshop. Communications with Simon had been brilliant leading up to the shoot, and everyone was friendly, respectful and considerate on the day.

We worked through a range of outfits and styles, there was a fun atmosphere with good music and lots of fabulous shots taken! I'd happily return there and recommend to other models. Thank you so much for having me :-)

Simon invited me to model for a Hollywood themed group shoot at the lovely LunaPop studios in Faversham. He was fantastic to work with, and went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and having just as much fun as everyone there!

He has a great eye for setting up a shot, and knows exactly how to direct you without hindering your own posing abilities. Simon is very friendly, professional, and even accommodated my last-minute schedule change with the upmost understanding.

It should come as no surprise that I highly recommend working with Simon!

Thank you so much for a fantastic shoot :)

Simon booked me for a model day, covering a range of looks from ballet, to burlesque to gothic.

Had a great shoot run by Simon doing a "colour pop" workshop.

The day was worked really well with a huge variety of lighting, colours + styles, even some interesting and fun props to add to the mix ! His lighting setups were all quality and some very different to what I have seen before which was great!

Simon is lovely to work with, super friendly, chatty and fun, I really enjoyed the day!

Highly recommended by me.

Simon recently booked me for a portrait group evening shoot in Chartham. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and concise - I knew the details and themes and Simon also sent me some reference images so I had an idea of the styles and lighting setups we would be working with. I have worked with Simon many times before and each shoot is fantastic! They are organised very well I am always made to feel welcome and comfortable from start to finish. Simon is professional, respectful and an overall joy to work with. Simon gives great direction and he knows exactly what it is he is after but also allowed me to pose freely and give input too. The photos I have seen are amazing! Highly recommended by me and I look forward to the next time :D
