What a bloody lovely day!

I shot with Greg for the first time today at Mr Daves. After previously booking a shoot with Greg and having to cancel the tour I was so pleased that we finally managed to get the chance to shoot together.

Greg is a brilliant photographer, he had lots of great ideas and was so enthusiastic about everything. Super chatty too, we just giggled the day away!

I highly recommend Greg and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Much love,

Eve

I crossed paths briefly with Greg last year when he delivered Lulu Lockhart to me after a bit of a mix up with the trains, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to meet him properly over the past weekend when he came along to South House Retreat to work with Sinopa Rin & Jezebelle.

A very relaxed and chatty guy who really knows his onions. It was lovely to meet you properly Greg and I hope our paths cross again in the future (Y)

Sinopa Rin

I last worked with Greg back in early 2016 so it was great to shoot with him again last weekend. We arranged a duo with Jezebelle at South House in Dorset, which proved to be a winning combination! We didn't plan too much beforehand which meant there was plenty of room for spontaneity and ad-lib, which I think often yields the best results. We achieved loads of sets within the 3 hours, which absolutely flew by, and from what I saw on the camera, Greg got some cracking images! I hope it's not another 2 years before we shoot again and would happily recommend Greg to others.

Jezebelle

What can I say about Greg?

That he is a very epic individual - absolutely!

That he has an awesome way with the camera - check!

I have so much fun shooting with this amazing photographer, he is ever so respectful and has a bloody fabulous way of using the available light - I can't recommend the fantastic Greg enough to all, what a top bloke ♡

Second shoot of hopefully many more with the super lovely Greg. Yet again another fantastic shoot with a great guy. Greg is so accomadating throughout, pre comms were second to none and he was full of awesome ideas which all worked so well! He is such a creative inspiring person with many unique ideas that he creates in order to get something different from the norm and along with this he is an absolute pleasure to be around, easy to chat with and very down to earth which always makes a shoot that much more enjoyable. I couldn’t have wished to work with someone better today! Thankyou again for another fab shoot, see you next month 😊

I have admired Greg's work for quite some time now, so when he asked to make plans for a shoot, I jumped at the chance! The pre comms were great, and I always appreciate a list to bring, makes a model's life so much easier!

Despite suffering with a cold and getting my train times mixed up, I arrived with huge enthusiasm and excitement! Greg kindly picked me up at the station and he immediately put me at ease with how friendly and chatty he is! The studio is an amazing space despite its size, and plenty of facilities and he has put a lot of thought into models using the space also.

We shot several different sets in the 4 hours, covering nearly everything we wanted to, and got some amazing shots which I cannot wait to see the results of! I highly recommend Greg to all, and hope to work with him again soon.

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Wow! Where do i start!

Greg travelled a long way to shoot with me at Studio Fifty Eight in Northamptonshire.

I was early as normal and greg was already there, so it was nice to have a chat and a cuppa before setting to work.

We planned our sets before starting the shoot and we managed to fly through those and got at least an extra 5 sets done.

Greg is friendly, chatty, professional, creative, has a great personality and is a true gentleman. I don't think i've ever been passed my robe so much. Thank you!

The images on the back of the camera are just fabulous. Really looking forward to seeing the edits.

Would love to work with Greg again in the new year.

Highly recommended by me.

Thanks

Have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year x

Studio Fifty Eight

We had the pleasure of Greg coming all the way up from Somerset on Friday to shoot with Theresa Louise. Greg was spot on time arriving despite travelling all that way. Greg is a very proficient photographer and had all his plans sorted pre shoot with Theresa. This made it a very relaxed and productive shoot. The images looked amazing too on the back of his camera which he was proud to show me. `Obviously Greg is throughly recommended by us to anyone wanting to work with him. I hope you get back again sometime. Merry Christmas to you. Andy.

My second shoot with Greg and he managed to catch me on the way down to Exeter at his studio in Bristol! Well what can I say comms as before were brilliant, Greg gave me plenty of ideas of styles and outfits, so helpful!

Oh the day he collected me from the station and was as friendly and chatty as ever!!... Like catching up with an old friend!...

The studio is a great space... It's not huge but there is plenty of room to shoot all sorts of photography and places for models to change and do make-up with mirrors (Always a win win)

The shoot was so relaxed and just flew by!... Lots of cuppas, chats, giggles and amazing images!... What a great way to start off a work trip!... Couldn't have gone any better!...

Would I recommend Greg, 100% I would still recommend Greg, hes a lovely guy and a very talented photographer!...

Thanks again Greg and maybe see you in 2018!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND...Greg is a really bubbly guy with a really warm heart making sure I was warm and comfortable...Greg and Georgian Historian booked me together and WOW they work extremely well together...I can honestly say that I have never worked with 2 photographers that work so well together! I felt so comfortable working with them straight away...They were both chatty and really good at ideas that I have not done before.

100%? Oh yes!

I had a fantastic joint shoot with Greg near Bristol back in October. He had plenty of great ideas, was very easy to work with and made sure i was well looked after during the shoot.

The images I've seen so far look brilliant.

I hope to work with Greg again when I'm next in the area!

Highly recommended!

This was the third time I worked with Greg, and it never gets dull! Greg is always bursting with fabulous, and sometimes, brilliantly random ideas. I feel like we’re both very much on the same wavelength - which is a wonderful feeling, always awesome when you’re able to creatively gel with someone.

Greg is good fun and incredibly easy to work with. Very highly recommended!

Toy

I approached Greg initially asking if he'd be interested in a shoot as I love his work. I was so pleased when he said yes... and then we threw lots of ideas at each other and ended up having an amazing shoot!

I can't wait to see the images and to do another shoot!

I would highly recommend Greg, fantastic studio, ideas and lovely Tea!! I never got to delve into the snack drawer lol!

Oxford Road Studio

From not having met Greg previously to two shoots at the studio within a week! I hope to see Greg at the studio again as he's a great guy, a skilled photographer and thoroughly good company with models and studio owners alike.

What a breath of fresh air!! What can I say! Greg is one of these photographers that is so laid back, friendly and chatty that I felt like I had known him ages! We got on like a house on fire hence the amazing images produced between us not just from the shoot at Oxford road, but our shoot together also the next day at eyebox studios on Bristol where I finished off my Somerset tour.

Greg has a very strong imagination and is able to give clear direction in the exact look he wants. Nothing is too much trouble at all, as his lighting set up and set design is spot on, therefore creating some outstanding images which i am super impressed with.

I cannot wait to work with Greg again hopefully next year on my next tour!

Thanks Greg for being an absolute star!

I can't believe nearly two years passed since we last worked together! Time certainly does fly! Despite this, it felt like no time had passed at all.

I love working with Greg. His enthusiasm, creativity and willingness to experiment with different styles is inspiring. In our three short hours together, we managed to achieve a range of different looks - even though we spent a lot of time chatting away!

Greg is a great guy to work with and the pictures look fantastic!

My highest recommendations!!

We finally managed to shoot!! Due to unfortunate circumstances, our last shoot was cancelled and we had been arranging this shoot with 4 of us (Georgian Historian and Amie Boulton aswell) at Mr.Daves for some time!

As soon as I arrived the atmosphere was relaxed and nothing was rushed. I worked with Greg for the first part of the day and it was clear that he has a passion for photography and getting the perfect image. We worked together on reposing, lighting and outfits to do just that! I was at so much ease working with Greg and he was very chatty and polite. Greg showed me BOC shots throughout and it was fabulous to hear him vocalise how pleased he was with the images.....this really helps you know the shoot is going well :)!

I would definatly recommend Greg to other models and photographers and I should look forward to if we shoot again. Thank you for a lovely day

wow!!... What a gent. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Greg after plenty of planning. It was such an awesome shoot as there was 4 of us involved, 2 photographers greg and Georgian historian and 2 model myself and Tatianna T, we had all been communicating leading up to the shoot which made it so much easier on the day and it was such a lovely atmosphere. Greg was a delight from start to finish, giving us a very warm welcome, very chatty, particularly easy to talk to and a dream to model for. He has a clear eye for photography and is fantastic at communicating and giving direction to make sure you get that winning shot. Greg was polite, professional and full of fun and comes 100% recommended by me and i very much hope to work with Greg again in the not to distant future. We had a blast,

Thanks for a fantastic shoot

South House Retreat

This was the third shoot held by Somersetman and Georgian Historian at South House. As usual they were both punctual and polite as well as funny. They are like friends now! We love having them both here. Somersetman takes some great shots and has inspirational ideas. The models seem happy and relaxed with him, just as we are. Highly recommended to those both sides of the camera! I look forward to welcoming him again soon!

Lulu Lockhart

I had a lovely shot with Greg and another photographer last week! During his pre-shoot communications Greg was easy to talk with and set the shoot up!

On the day, right from the word go Greg was personable, extremely friendly and really easy to get along with. I felt relaxed right from the very start of the shoot and this enabled us to get some really gorgeous shots! Greg communicates exactly what he wants from a photo extremely well, in addition he is very receptive to ideas from the model and it makes the shoot feel like a truly collaborative experience! Greg also pays great attention to the light and finer details of an image and is extremely adapt at controlling light to achieve the best images possible! Greg is also fantastic at shooting across a wide range of genes and as a result achieves wonderful plethora of images during a shoot :)

I had a great time shooting with Greg, he's a lovely person and fab photographer, we achieved some really beautiful shots and I recommend him immensely! :)
