Working with Nigel last week was great. It was a thoroughly enjoyable shoot.

Nigel was professional, polite, respectful and open to share ideas, take creative direction from one another which is both really practical and helps to create a relaxed atmosphere. I think by the end of our day at Sandon Studios we got some really fantastic shots, really varied too. I was especially delighted with what Nigel managed to capture in reference to the dance movements, jumps and spins.

I would definitely recommend working with Nigel for both a productive and enjoyable shoot.

All the best and I hope to work with you again,

Gemma

On the day Nigel was brilliant to work with :D He is friendly, relaxed, polite & professional. I have nothing but positive words to say about my day working with Nigel.

Pre-shoot communications were great and I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot.

Looking forward to seeing the results of our shoot and sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to work together again in the future. :D

Far Forest Studio

We were very pleased to welcome Nige to our studio yesterday for his first booking.

Having popped in to see us before hand he knew what to expect. His pre shoot coms were excellent so everything was planned to a 'T' and he turned up with everything needed for the shoot.

He is a perfect gent, behind and away from the camera. Everything you would expect in a photographer.

All in all the ideal customer. We would highly recommend him to any model or studio and we hope it wont be too long before he visits us again.

Yesterday I had my second shoot with Nigel, this time a full day's shooting at Far Forest Studio. Nigel is, without question, one of my favourite photographers to work with. He is all at once passionate, easy going, considerate, humble, talented and really funny. It is a joy to see Nigel's photography improve in leaps and bounds - he is always full of creative ideas and I am always impressed by his ability to pull them off! I am really proud of the images we created at Far Forest, and recommend working with Nige wholeheartedly to models. Thanks again for a lovely day Nigel!

I have worked with Nige twice now, once once on a full day shoot and the second time on a studio day at Sandon Studio. Both times I have found Nige to be really friendly and easy-going with a hard working and positive attitude to his work. He is open minded to lots of different ideas, and enjoys working with his models to experiment and create unique and beautiful imagery. Nige had some great ideas during our shoots, which we had fun working to achieve, as well as asking for my suggestion and input.

Nige made me feel comfortable and equal during our time working together, making the rapport and working relationship very fruitful.

I can't wait to see the finished images and hope to have the pleasure of working with him again very soon. I highly recommend him to creatives alike.

Thanks so much!

I worked with Nigel for the first time last monday.

We did the shoot from home, where Nigel arrived on time. During all the time of the shoot Nigel was polite and friendly, giving good directions throughout.

The ideas kept coming and it was a productive shoot.

The images were also shared very quickly. Overall very happy and would definitely recommend. Looking forward to future shoots.

Had my second shoot with Nigel yesterday and what a fun and creative shoot it was!

We had talked about doing a second shoot since the start of the year and Nigel had contacted me on trying some of his marvelous ideas!In the 5 hour shoot we covered several creative concepts, including a fabric and wind shoot, levitation (What a fitting shoot to do during the storm Doris! )

As well as working along another model for some dance poses which was such fun! Saw some of the images on the back of the camera and they looked just stunning! Nigel not only has fabulous ideas but also the eye to capture the perfect image

I cant say it enough Nigel is one of the friendliest, most down to earth people you will ever meet and a true professional with a passion for what he does. He just makes you feel comfortable when working with him is such

a joy, he also supplies you with Jaffas and divine cup of coffees throughout the shoot while the creativity flows. Cant recommend Nigel more!

Hope to work together again soon as we still have many more ideas to try :)

Thanks again Nigel :)

I spent yesterday shooting with Nigel at Sandon Studio in Stafford. Nigel picked me up from the station and immediately put me at ease. He is very clearly a kind, genuine and humble man, and his passion for photography and enthusiasm to learn is really contagious. I can't say enough how considerate Nigel is - I don't think I've ever had so many tea breaks on a shoot! As a photographer, he is thoroughly understated and clearly has no idea what an eye for images he has. I could have spent a lot longer shooting with Nigel - we shot for five hours - and still feel comfortable and inspired. Nigel is constantly pushing himself out of his comfort zone to try out new things, including a levitation shot, which I'm determined we're going to do justice! I'm really looking forward to both seeing the images and working together again. The highest recommendation from me! Thanks Nigel :)

Had a great shoot with Nigel yesterday, what a lovely man to work with! He came prepared with so many ideas that we struggled to fit all of them into the time that we had.

Nigel is friendlly and professional, and very respectful. He gave very good directions while also being happy to let me pose freely. The images I saw on the back of the camera looked amazing, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the rest of them.

Really hope that we can work together again in the future, and have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to any model. x

I had my second shoot with Nigel yesterday in my home studio after he applied for my last minute casting call. As always, communication before the shoot was great and we got something booked in very quickly.

Working with Nigel is great. He's so friendly and lovely! We got through lots of different styles and outfits in the four hours we booked together. We were playing around with the studio lights to try and get different effects and we tried a few crazy ideas too.

I would recommend Nigel to anyone. He is friendly, considerate and easygoing. I hope to get our third shoot together in soon!

Had my first shoot with Nigel on Saturday, such a pleasure!!

What can I say? He booked 8 hours so we had plenty of time and filled it with everything from Fashion & Lingerie to tasteful Glamour right up to Fine Art Nude. Lots of scope and we both brought ideas to the table and tried different things.

Nigel was a gentleman, easy to work along side and chatty. The shoot sailed by very quickly and came to a natural end. As we worked, we discussed other ideas so I'm sure I'll have another opportunity to work with him again soon!

Thanks for a wonderful shoot xx
