I worked with Simon on a Portrait Lighting Tutorial at The White Room. The tutorial was interesting, informative and great fun and Simon has a great informal style of tuition which is entertaining and easy to understand. All in all a great shoot and I am looking forward to more opportunities to work with Simon again.

I have shot at a number of Simon's workshops at Studio Lunapop over the last year. The workshops are well organised, helpful and informative. The models that are booked for them are always excellent, professional and fun to shoot with. In the last year I think I have only missed one or two shoots, due to holidays, so that gives you an idea of how enjoyable they are. Sets, lighting and themes are always great and different every month. Thanks again Simon for putting together some amazing shoots.

Met and worked with Simon for the first time today. Simon is a friendly and genuine guy who makes you feel at ease instantly. Gives good direction and knows how to get the best out of a models angles. I thoroughly enjoyed today's shoot and am very excited to see the pictures. Would highly recommend and would love to work with him again. Thank you Simon!

Worked with Simon for the first time the other day and worked with him briefly at the asylum studio (rochester studios) before my studio afternoon in the main studio. We worked on some sets with some latex outfits that he got and even did a couple of duo shots with Ellie Fox as well which was a great surprise! :D

Simon knows exactly what he wants to achieve and came up with some cool ideas for poses etc and it was great to work with him. Would highly recommend!

I had a great shoot with Simon on Tuesday. He is very professional and knows exactly what shots he is trying to get, good at giving directions in order to achieve the result. Very friendly person! Looking forward to the pictures, I’m sure they will be great!

It was my first time working with Simon at the beginning of the week when he attended the Whitstable Portrait Group in Graveney. Simon is friendly and professional and was fantastic at giving me direction. Simon even gave help/advice to other photographers in the group which was very kind. Highly recommended by me and look forward to the next one :D

Lovely Photographer, very professional. I recommend Simon and would happily work with him again. He was very punctual, drove me to the shoot, respectful and made sure I was comfortable the whole time.

I got to shoot with the epic Simon on a weekend of fabulous shooting at Studio Visage - he has an excellent way with his camera, using the scenes and lighting beautifully, was also a total dude to hang out with!

This fantastic photographer is very much recommended by me to all models out there, what a pleasure to work with :)

Simon was fantastic to work with, very talented and great at orchestrating posing. Very fun and laid back, he made me feel very comfortable during our shoot.

He was very punctual and there was great communication prior to the shoot, going through mood boards and ideas to ensure that we were both on the same page.

I would highly recommend working with Simon and look forward to possible future shoots with him.

I had a shoot with Simon that was arranged fairly last minute as another model had dropped out. From the start Simon was very professional and had everything organised ready to go. Everything was explained and discussed prior to the day of the shoot and so I knew exactly what to expect. Had a lot of fun shooting with Simon and can't wait to see the photos!

I worked with Simon at a group shoot in High Barnet at Studio33 ran by Iulia David! He’s so great to work with, very friendly and approachable. He made me laugh which is also good on a shoot. He kept my energy up! I hope we’ve got some good shots and I hope your happy with them just as much as I am. Very professional and hopefully we can work together again soon. Thank you for booking me. 100% Recommended!

First shoot with Simon yesterday. We shot some gorgeous designer evening dresses.

Simon arranged for hair and makeup to be done before the shoot and arranged to pick myself and the other model up and took us to the venue.

Simon is a great laugh, but also very professional and made me feel very comfortable. He was open with any poses i did and also gave great direction.

Overall, it was a very good and successful day and i would recommend him to anyone.

Had my first shoot with Simon, we shot long evening dresses and it went really quickly!

Simon arranged hair and makeup for myself and the second model and drove us to the shoot location. He was quick and efficient, extremely kind and fun to work with.

He was very outgoing and easy to talk to, he made me feel comfortable and I really enjoyed the shoot! He knew his stuff and ensured everything went as planned in order to get the best results. Hope to shoot with Simon again!

Finally managed to work with Simon along with a couple other models and mua :]

There was good communication before hand and I got to shoot in some amazing latex pieces!

He was professional, fun, friendly and organised during the shoot and I quickly felt comfortable which helped.

I felt so pleased afterwards with what was achieved and I very much hope to get to work with Simon again. Highly recommended :]

Simon attended the first experience day at The Hacienda and we couldn't have asked for a better person!

I was excited to learn that it was Simon that was going to be joining us as I had met him briefly whilst he was shooting Arabella at The Hacienda and he was lovely then!!

Simon arrived prepared - he was extremely attentive and eager to learn !! His passion for photography was obvious, as was his want to improve and get to the next level with his work!

Simon is very down to earth - a great sense of humour and easy to get on with ! I felt very comfortable and relaxed with him and he was extremely respectful and professional!

I really respected the questions Simon was asking me and I really hope he learned something from the day!

I am super excited to see what Simon produces! Would recommend him and hope to shoot with him again :D

Had a really lovely stress free shoot with Simon at the beautiful Thurston Lodge. He is very friendly and pays attention to little details such as straight seams and 'baggy' suspender straps before taking any shots. I am happy to recommend him and look forward to working with him again. Can't wait to see the proofs :)

Arabella

I had a wonderful shoot with Simon during my studio day at The Hacienda, Simon booked his slot in advance and comms running up to the date were brilliant.

We changed around a few things and Simon always kept me up to date, he even had some clothing for the shoot and some ideas of what he wanted to shoot.

Which was extremely helpful & it allowed me to bring pieces from my own wardrobe to compliment.

On the day Simon arrived in plenty of time and was immediately friendly and chatty!... There were a few of the outfits that took a while to get into (latex/corsets etc) but Simon didn't rush and was more than happy to help if needed.

This meant that the whole shoot just flowed and was extremely productive as well as fun!.. We got some absolutely gorgeous shots and Simon played around with light both natural & studio!...

What an awesome shoot I have to say and I fully recommend Simon to everyone else!... I really genuinely friendly, safe and chatty person and very talented photographer!...

Thanks again Simon & I hope we get to work together again in the future!

Dazzled Designs Latex

Simon responded to my casting call, in which I offered to loan out latex in return for photos. He had some great ideas and shoots planned in which latex could really work. I've received the photos he created with DollyNatrix and they are great! Shot at an awesome location which works very well with the latex! I'll be sending over more latex soon! Highly recommended :)

Yesterday we had a photoshoot with Simon. He is really so wonderful and easy going. Despite I had a long journey, I enjoyed a lot. He is very professional and he knows exactly what he wants to acheive from a shoot. We did indoor and autdoor shoot. I'm sure the results are great.

Looking forward to shoot with him again in the future and highly recommend.
