I really enjoyed attending a recent workshop with Simon.

The shoot was really well organised with excellent lighting set ups.

I look forward to attending another workshop in the future.

Simon booked me to model and style for his photography workshop. Overall, it was a decent experience. Everything went smoothly. Simon brainstormed different lighting ideas and setups for every outfit. Everyone involved was eager to get creative. I was provided lunch. No issues with communication. I recommend Simon and would work with him again.

This evening i worked with Simon and his mate Dave who helped with the lighting and took photos aswell. It was a chill time with them both, and the ideas Simon and i had for our gothic theme was evident in some of the results i was able to see. The photo’s turned out amazing and we were even more inspired throughout the shoot and ended up with the most beautiful, creative shots!

Highly recommend!

Got to meet Simon for a workshop/portfolio builder day at his studio and oh hes such a lovely human!!

Straight from the get go he was so welcoming, such a gentleman and proper jokes - its like meeting someone you've known for ages and just catching up, just really good energy, so I knew the studio day was going to go well and was very grateful that he let me play my music (sorry Simon hahhaha)

Looking forward to heading back there next year and working with him again for another workshop!

Would absolutely recommend if you get the chance!! What a legend! (and tell Di I say hellloooo and hope the stars have been lushus over there!!) x

I attended a group shoot arranged by Simon, with Ziggi Flame. Really well organised shoot, some interesting lighting setups and a nice group of fellow photographers. Looking forward to attending another shoot arranged by Simon.

Simon booked me for a studio day/workshop, and this was my second time working with him. As always Simon was a great host to me and all of the photographers. Pre-comms were great and he was specific with his brief of what he wanted in terms of styling/outfits. Simon is lovely to work with and generally very attentive making sure I was comfortable at all times. He is a very talented photographer too and is very nurturing to those less experienced. I would absolutely work with Simon again, and would highly recommend him.

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.

What an amazing shoot!

Simon booked me to work with himself and six other photographers. His communication was outstanding and the shoot ran smoothly. 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.
