Wow! I had such an amazing first shoot with Greg at his studio in Somerset.

He is so relaxed, kind and polite person. He didn't rush at all, gives me time to drink a tea and have a rest.

Greg had so many great ideas and was also open to my suggestions and creative ideas too! Also his photography skills are truly impressive! He was really great with the lights and he achieved really amazing results.

He showed me the photos on the back of his camera and they look truly fabulous!

I was happy that we managed to work together for the first time and achieve these beautiful results! It was a great shoot, and I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future shoots. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again! Thank you!

Greg is an amazing gentleman to work with for many reasons, one of which is his pure enthusiasm for photography. His pre shoot communications were excellent and he explained his vision clearly as well as outfit suggestions which are always super helpful.

When he booked me at The Old Rectory alongside Graham I knew we were going to capture gorgeous images and I was totally right. Greg has this wonderful ability to get along with anyone and the two of us had a good time, bantering constantly. In between the banter we wandered around the property and captured gorgeous shots everywhere. He's very open to ideas and was happy with any I had suggested but was equally happy to make decisions.

We captured some fabulous images and worked seamlessly together to get them. Greg works phenomenally with natural light but bought plenty of lighting equipment as well! He was polite, professional and super easy to chat to. He has such passion for photography and I really had a blast.

The images looked epic and I look forward to seeing his edits! 1000% recommended.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

I had the great pleasure of working with Gregg again this time at The Old Rectory in Symondsbury.

Gregg had 2 hours with me before swapping over to Angel Black, and we even got to do a bit of duo too!

Gregg is a great creative soul and I really enjoy working with him.

We got such a mix of sets done including nude outside and dressed, bedroom, bathroom and stairs. Oh not to forget the window!

Gregg kindly got some behind the scenes videos on my phone for me too which made me look like a princess frolicking through the field :)

Greggs pre comms are super and he’s great at finding the perfect places to make a great shot.

Can’t wait to work together again

Highly recommended by me

Another fantastic day with Greg at his wonderfully warm studio. :)

I won't repeat all the things I've already mentioned about how great Greg is in my last reference - I suppose all I need to add is that I can now confirm all these things are consistent!

Highly recommended by me and very much hope to work with him again in the not-too-distant future.

Thanks again Greg!

Emi.Li

Although this was somehow our first time working together I'm confident it won't be the last!

It's hardly necessary for me to leave him yet another lovely reference as it's pretty clear from the MANY others that Greg is 'legit'. There's clearly no need to point out that he's very experienced, but this also comes across quite clearly when working with him.

I'll just add that's he a genuine pleasure to spend time with, respectful, patient and essentially everything one hopes for in a photographer.

Looking forward to the next one!

Yay! Another absolutely fantastic shoot with my favorite person, Greg. What can I say that I haven’t said before? I absolutely love working with him. Greg is truly one of my all-time favorite photographers. He’s so creative, imaginative, and incredibly easy to work with. He’s always on board with my wild ideas and even supports me when I suggest going outside to grab leaves for the shoot! We make the perfect team, combining our creative energies to produce something truly amazing.

This time, Greg came out with some incredible ideas! Mad scientist and unusual edgy fashion . He also supported my crazy ideas and helped bring them to life.

What I love most about working with Greg is that, with him, madness meets professionalism. He not only encourages my wildest concepts but consistently delivers perfect photos. He’s also a master at creating impressive backgrounds and decorations, so every time I step out of the changing room, there’s an amazing light setup, stunning backgrounds, and everything is ready to make our shoot flawless.

On top of all that, Greg is such a wonderful person to be around—friendly, chatty, and always full of fun and useful information. This time, he taught me so many valuable things that will definitely help me in my modeling career. I’m also incredibly grateful that he let me stay at his beautiful home. It’s such a warm, welcoming place where I felt completely at ease, like part of his family for a few days.

Thank you so much, Greg! I’m so happy to know you. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with you, my dear friend. I hope to see you again soon, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing photos we created!

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! (is how I feel whilst shooting with Greg!!!)

There's no other photographer who has made me do my "happy shoot dance" so many times in my career! I mean, admittedly we've shot together for near 10 years now but if anything that proves just how many ideas we have spilling from our noggings :P

I always feel completely comfortable and relaxed when shooting with Greg, we shot at his studio again and I love that I get to see it transform. He has his trusty lights which hes mastered, new backdrops to use nearly every time we shoot again! It just keeps getting better. The shooting space hes created for himself is admirable, and he bloody well deserves it too! He keeps the models in mind with a private dressing room equipped with a mirror and heater and a drawer thats full to the brim with goodies... from Jaffacakes to hairbands!

Every time we shoot we have no real plan, we just know from experience that we will get together, have a laugh and good catch up, watch my suitcase explode onto the dressing room floor and then see what I got to work with and go from there... and never has it ever failed!

Greg has mastered the sculpted art nude lighting (and I always like to get at least one set with such flattering lighting!), he experiments with gels, focal lengths, and even shooting a "fashion" set can end up with a whacky twist when youre flowing with Greg! Hes such a delight to shoot with, giving direction whilst taking photos so we get that perfect shot and always happy to show you the back of camera afterwards so we can review together.

in 10 years hes never arrived late, never cancelled a shoot and has never ever failed to make me belly laugh during a shoot. It's so clear he has a true passion for photography and im honoured to have known him as long as I have and even more honoured that he continues to book me and I get to shoot with him often. (a shoot with Greg feels like a day off!!).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Highly recommended, not a bad word to say about Greg.. one of the most respectful and talented photographers on the site.

Be expecting more images from us soon.... :D

Katy!

I love shooting with Greg, he puts me in such a good mood, which carries on for weeks after our shoot!

Greg is so creative, and we came up with some very fun and unique shots as always!

Thank you so much for another great shoot, it's such a pleasure to shoot with you at your fantastic studio!

Highly recommended to all models.

Kind regards

Was contacted by Greg as he was visiting Kempston studio for 3 days and wanted me to shoot for his last 3 hours before he left and I’m so grateful to have been asked.

Greg is a real gentleman, easy to get along with and a true creative. He absolutely knows his art and knows how to bring out the best in his model, he directs perfectly throughout and focuses on every tiny detail.

He sent me a really thorough list of outfits before hand which made it easy to plan.

I never felt pushed or rushed but we managed to capture so many sets and work through most of the outfits I brought with me and Greg managed to add interesting elements from the studio to really spice up each shot.

He let me collaborate on ideas and in the end we had great fun shooting some quirky ideas that Greg just came up with on the spot.

Highly recommend Greg and would be a pleasure to work together again! 😊

Lovely to see Greg in the studio for a 3 day marathon shooting alongside his friend Graham.

Greg was respectful to his 4 models over the course of the days and had a great laugh with us all.

Greg shoots a number of styles but all equally with enthusiasm and an eye for the winning pose.

I had absolutely no problem with Greg and would happily recommend Greg.

Hope to see him again up this way in the future

I had the pleasure of working with Greg for the first time at Kempston Studio.

I was booked alongside another model and another photographer. The second half of the day I shot with Greg after we switched over.

Greg is a complete gentleman, creative and very funny. We had a blast.

I’d absolutely love to work with you again and hope to be in your area soon.

Thank you for such a great day. It goes without saying I’d 100% recommend working with this amazing photographer.

It is always a pleasure to shoot with Greg, the results speak for themselves as he really is great at what he does. Shoots with Greg are always well paced, fun and creative, he is a genuinely lovely photographer.

I would recommend Greg to all models.

Bobbi Castle

It has been so long since I last worked with Greg. This time he booked me and kitty quinzell as a duo. All the planning was between Greg and kitty and what great ideas they were. We went to a ship grave yard! It was fantastic. I loved every minute of it we all had so much fun! I would certainly recommend Greg as he’s a great photographer and a lovely person. I must not leave it so long next time.

Kitty Quinzell

Well what can I say? Greg booked me and Bobbi for 3 hours of our duo tour, on a location shoot, styled and concept ideas by myself.

Ive previously only worked in studios with Greg but Ive loved what we've created every time, and I wanted to do something different. So this shoot was arranged at a location.

Not only did Greg kindly drive us to and from the location, but he took my concepts and helped to bring them to life, adding his own ideas and twists which strengthened them tenfold.

Add to this his wonderful company, great sense of humour, zest for adventure and love of storytelling. He is easily one of my favourite photographers to work with, who I will happily work with again and again :)

Greg and I have worked together enough that we know exactly how to get the most out of a shoot and that’s exactly what we did again! Having discussed a series of ideas in advance and developed a few ideas in the weeks leading up to it, we came fully prepared and aligned with a vision. Shaving foam, Picasso and clay all featured in what turned into a beautifully messy shoot that I cannot wait to see the results of! Back of the camera always looks good but Greg has a way with making photos pop and bringing all the details that make an image to life.

On the day we ran through the plan and Greg was an absolute professional ensuring the lighting set up was flattering, the backdrops complimented the ideas and the camera captured all the images in our heads. Greg is an absolute gentleman through and through and his studio is perfectly fitted with everything you’d need (including a snack drawer for those moments!).

I cannot recommend Greg enough and most importantly, his willingness to work through your ideas as much as his!

Having shot with Greg at Dorchester and Gloucester Prison, I could hardly say no to the opportunity of a shoot at Shepton Mallet Prison with him!!

I have worked with Greg many times before and absolutely loved every shoot - our prison shoots really stand out as some of our best work together and we seem to always be in tune with what we’d like out of the venue in terms of styles of shots and variety.

The 4 hours flew by as they always do and we explored every nook and cranny of this amazing historic prison. We were spoilt for choice with settings but worked hard to get as much variety as we could.

Greg is funny, great company, kind and considerate and above all a flipping amazing photographer! I love that Greg always puts himself out of his comfort zone and doesn’t get at all out off by any challenges!

I hope we don’t run out of prisons to shoot in 😆

Until next time, many many thanks Greg for a memorable and fun shoot - very highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greg Greg Greg, what more can I say to top off what everybody else has said . I’ve worked with Greg over and over again and he is such a delight . He is so lovely and super super creative , and he has always got new props and ideas and we always run out of time ! I highly recommend him and look forward to shooting with him again . Also it is true about the Snack draw , so many sweets, chocolates and crisps, a mini shop in the cool dressing room, which has some amazing clothes . What a wonderful person, a friend and a great photgrapher .

Another stunning shoot with my warm friend! Ah, I can't even describe how much I like to shoot with him!

His studio is an artistic heaven! So many sets, props, and the main thing, Greg, with whom we just go absolutely crazy and create the most unusual, fun, and creative shots!!!!

With him, I feel so inspired and free! He doesn't mind me making a mess in his studio and happily helps me with it!!! His amazing photographing skills allow us to turn each crazy idea into a piece of art!

And for sure, I have to mention how happy and grateful I am to stay with him and his lovely wife in their cozy house and to have so many interesting chats with him!

Greg is an incredibly friendly, warm, and cool person who is great to have around and just amazing to create art with! I am so looking forward to each of our shoots and sooo excited about what we can create next!

Thank you so much for the fabulous time, and I am so looking forward to seeing you again 🥳😍😍😍
