I had a fabulous shoot with Greg last Thursday at his studio in Keynsham.....his pre coms were very clear and organised.

We both had a rough idea of what we were going to be shooting, but also had a 'go with the flow' attitude; leaving time for experimentation.

He was welcoming, friendly and very easy to get along with, gave clear direction but also allowed me to pose freely.

All in all, a really enjoyable, creative studio shoot, 100% recommended.

Thank you for a great shoot and I hope to work with you again in the future.

Once again I was lucky enough to shoot with the wonderful Greg, one of my all time favourite people to work with and as usual I came away buzzing! Greg is bursting with ideas and creativity and his studio makes anything a possibility. As well as being a talented photographer always looking for new ideas and inspiration he's also a truly awesome person, any time spent with Greg is time well spent :)

Can't wait to see the shots and as always, more than highly recommended xx

Gregg and I did an awesome shoot in the gorgeous South House Retreat. Pre coms were amazing, everything was super organised, I knew exactly what I needed to pack for the shoot and it was all just a lot of fun! From the moment Gregg picked me up from the station he was super smiley and chatty and we got on right away.

Gregg know what he wants from each shot and gives amazing direction and also is happy for you to do your own thing and pose away. He is such a lovely photographer to work with. I would definitely work with Gregg again and I would highly recommend him.

Greg and i had a fantastic photoshoot during my recent visit to Somerset. We'd discussed a few ideas beforehand but still left plenty of room for creativity and laughter when some of our props refused to cooperate! :D

Greg communicates well, is very chilled out to shoot with and has a very well equipped studio, making me a very happy model. He even dropped me off when public transport proved unreliable! I look forward to working together again and would not hesitate to recommend him :)

I am not a morning person, so getting me out of bed for a 5am shoot is not easy; getting me up and enjoying myself is nothing short of a miracle. I therefore conclude that Greg is a miracle worker!

I had the pleasure of working with Greg and Graham (georgianhistorian on here) on a sunrise city shoot in Bath, and loved the shoot and love the images we produced. Greg was very organised, having already tested the location and formed an itinerary before the shoot. He was incredibly relaxed throughout the shoot, exceptionally easy to talk to and very considerate, ensuring I spent most of the shoot wrapped in my coat while he did all the work preparing shots.

I would love to work with Greg again, and happily recommend him to other models - a great guy and great photographer.

Thank you Greg! X

I had a lovely shoot with Greg at The Old Rectory in Dorset yesterday. I was very excited to work with him after discussing shooting with him from meeting at a previous group shoot. Greg has some very creative ideas and working together I think we nailed them. Greg was very respectful and make me feel completely comfortable and I would 100% recommend him to other models.

The day flew by!

Thanks again Greg x

Had a really awesome shoot with Greg down in Exeter and what a way to kick off my tour! Greg travelled to shoot me at Mr Dave's place, arrived on time and greeted me with a big smile.

The whole shoot from start to finish was brilliant, Greg was chatty, friendly and we had lots of good giggles throughout!...

I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout and the shoot itself just flew by! Greg is very creative and we bounced ideas around and created some really cool ideas and beautiful images!...

I would certainly recommend Greg to other models, both experienced and new... A really genuine person and talented photographer, he is happy working with natural light and playing around with studio lighting.

Very talented and I do hope we can work together again in the future!...

Thanks again Greg!

Had an amazing first shoot with Greg last week, we shot at Carla Monacos house, we did some shooting indoors and outdoors, we had such fun, Greg allowed me to pull some of my weird facial expressions and we had such a giggle.

Greg is professional and just lovely, 100% recommended.

Thanks again,

Nicky xx

Another brilliant shoot with Greg at my home location :) Greg is a skilled photographer, who knows what he wants but also lets the model give ideas to so it's a great collaborative effort and really enjoyable shoot.

Greg shared the shoot with Fellow photographer Graham and we were also joined by model Nicky Phillps which was great fun and added great variety throughout the day.

Greg is great company and lovely person to get a long with, thank you for coming and hope to see you again.

Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved shooting with Greg whilst on my South West tour, he greeted me with a big smile and was cheery and excited for the day.

We shot at the most beautiful hotel and got some amazing results (Greg shot potentially one of my best portraits!)

Greg has a great eye to detail and a true talent in natural light photography (my favourite!)

The day with Greg and Graham was a great way to kick start my tour, it was full of laughs, good conversation and even a lovely pub meal afterwards!

A lovely day,

thank you very much

Pippa :)

A very long overdue ​reference but I had an absolutely brilliant time shooting with Greg again.

The location was really magical and was perfect for the themed period shoot we did.

I also got the chance to wear some amazing costumes!

Greg was full of energy, enthusiasm and respectful, fantastic to work with!

Very much looking forward to shooting again

Best wishes

I had the pleasure of working with Greg for the second time. Greg made fantastic use of the space and was very creative with his ideas, constantly thinking outside the box which was fantastic :) Greg is also lovely to chat too, very professional but relaxed at the same time. He captured some wonderful images yet again!

Thank you Greg for a fantastic shoot!

I loved my four hour booking with Greg last week! What an excellent photographer he is. He was even on the ball texting me the night before to let me know my train had been replaced by a bus, and rearranged pick up locations etc, excellent organization! The studio was warm, welcoming and clean with a wide variety of professional lighting. We shot everything from portraits to classic art nude. Regular tea breaks, and excellent company, he was respectful and professional at all times and I felt completely at ease throughout. Very happy to leave my recommendation here.

My first proper shoot with Greg at his studio! I was welcome by him with a lovely cup of tea and snacks! Such a lovely relaxing shoot, really enjoyed chatting :) We also spent some time shooting ;) and what we produced looked great...quality not quantity. Can't wait to see some edits. Thank you so much for the perfect shoot, will look forward to the next time. Claire Topaz

Had my 7th (so I have been reliably informed!) shoot with Greg yesterday at his studio and as ever we had a lovely day full of chatting, posing and laughs. We wanted to try out some quite complicated yoga and strength poses which were definitely a challenge to light but a challenge that Greg took up very well and he managed to get them just right. He was as ever a constant source of positive encouragement (and jaffa cakes) and a very good friend. Love working with this guy and always will do :) x

Shooting with Greg is always more than a pleasure, his passion and energy are contagious and his clear love of photography is obvious from each set.

Every time I shoot with Greg I have a brilliant time, he's got so many great ideas and ways of achieving new and unusual shots.

Pre communication is great, Greg's home studio is brilliant and the whole experience is wonderful!

Thanks so much Greg and hope to see you on my next tour! Xx

Yet another fab shoot with Greg today, but this time at his studio which was great! As usual, shooting with Greg is always a pleasure. He's respectful, chatty and a real down to earth guy. He always ensure the model is fed and warm enough! His studio was great, lots of different set ups available, with lots of different lighting and props. Greg is also a talented photographer who is great at letting you do your thing but helps to perfect things by giving good feedback.

Couldn't recommend any more! Thanks Greg :)

Greg and I met and had a wonderful first photo making session (first of many more, I so hope!) on my most recent tour of the South where our paths crossed at Curiosity Studio's. :)

It was so lovely because Greg had an idea of the different sets he wanted to work on and explained his ideas with perfect detail for me to style the looks; then what was so brilliant was the fact that we both could switch between working styles to get wonderfully varied results! In one breath, Greg was directing we with superb care to nail the most beautiful shots from his perspective and played an active roll in shaping the shot he wanted to achieve - then he would allow me to go for it with my repertoire to get a good mix of each others work coming alive in the shots. I cannot give Greg enough credit for how alert he is when watching for creative and beautiful details, he works at creating a "wow" image so effectively and of course is multitasking at the same time whilst perfecting the lighting setup to compliment the image. We got some seriously lovely images in the bag and also complete variation which was fun! The "elegantly glamorous" Keira and then the "creatively wacky" Keira :D Greg photographed both of these to perfection!

A first shoot together is often the shoot when you gel with each others work styles and get to know how one another works; getting a rapport flowing with Greg was so easy as he is a polite and lovely character with a lovely respectful temperament and before long we were laughing and chattering away and just generally having a blast getting the shots done. I have always found that when a shoot seems to fly by then it's a sign of a positive session with prolific image-making and a good bounce between model and photographer... And what I have just said sums up our shoot completely! :) Greg is a fantastic photographer who is clearly so passionate about working with his models to get the best out of a shoot. From a models perspective - good positive vibes make every ounce of difference and hence I can't stress enough how much of a pleasure it was to shoot with Greg. He's a truly professional person.

The images are certainly speaking for themselves; they also show how fabulously fun it was working on the various looks! If you're a model currently making arrangements to shoot with Greg, you can take my word for it that you will have an unmistakably enjoyable shoot. :)

Thank you for your brilliant shoot-tastic company Greg!
