Very happy to arrange my first shoot at Greg's studio. All the pre comms were great and another photographer was arranged to make a full day shoot. The studio was lovely and warm and most importantly the legendary snack drawer! Had a very creative shoot with Greg, lovely to work with and I look forward to seeing the final edits and hopefully visiting again.

Greg and I had the most amazing adventure today - shooting at the fabulous Woodchester Mansion!

It was an incredible opportunity and a privilege to shoot in such a beautiful historic mansion house - but especially as I was shooting with Greg.

As always his knowledge, commitment and attention to detail all came into play as we navigated our way around the various floors and nooks and crannies of this 19th-century Gothic mansion.

It was a 5 hour shoot in quite tricky conditions as the light was changing bright sunshine to gloom, but Greg met the challenges with a sense of humour and it didn’t through him off course in getting some truly stunning pics!!

I really love working with Greg as we get on so well and are fully on the same page when it comes to creating photographic images - we are both perfectionists and have a keen eye for detail and work at a productive pace.

We got a lot of variety and used all the best spots of the house, all in all it was an extremely successful and enjoyable shoot and I loved every second!

Of course Greg comes very highly recommended, he’s one of the best! Can’t wait for our next shoot which is already in the diary 😊❤️

This was my second shoot with Greg at his very own studio based in Shepton Mallet.

Greg is great fun he’s very easy to talk to he’s easy going and has some very creative ideas Greg is a great guy I had a lot of fun shooting with him, Greg made me feel so relaxed and at ease the hole way through our shooting time his ideas for our shoot were perfect and I can not wait to see the outcome from our shoot all our images from back of camera looked unreal !

Greg thank you for having me I really did have a wonderful time working with you and I hope to work with you again soon.

Highly recommend!! 🙌

I had a fab shoot with Greg last week at his own studio in Shepton Mallet.

I haven't with Greg since about 2019, wow it's been ages.

What a wonderful day we had shooting at his lovely studio, Greg made me feel so welcome and at ease. We chatted lots and made some beautiful images. I love working with Greg, he is so kind and easy to get along with, as well as being a super photographer.

Thank you for a great shoot, looking forward dot the next time.

Best

Woohoo !

The creativity never ends! Me and Greg have been shooting together for approx 10 years - and we're nowhere near out of ideas/done with shooting together yet.. I class him as a good friend aswell as value him as a talented photographer.

It always starts relaxed with a cup of tea and a catch up in his warm studio equipped with tea, a comfy sofa, a dressing room and a great space for Gregs ideas to come to life. I cannot express how safe and respectful Greg is, in 10 years hes not once made me feel unsafe or uncomfortable. His sense of humour and interesting conversation flows so easily - the shoot flys by.. A 8 hour day feels like a few hours.

Ive really enjoyed watching Gregs portfolio over the last decade - especially since he got his own studio where he has the space and potential to make his creative dreams come true - no matter how whacky they are. He utulises every corner of his studio - and has a new idea/new set nearly every time we shoot together. He has great lighting, great ideas and is great company... what more can you ask for?!

We started all in - with a full latex and 12inch thigh high boot and a fisheye lens! Me and Greg have got to the point we can begin with any whacky concept and it makes no difference it's our first set - we smash it every time! Hes happy to direct and also happy to let me pose in be in the flow - we review images and see how we can top it. We got through a good bunch of sets together over a few cups of tea and still had ideas after the 8 hours we had already shot together.. thats a sign of a good shoot! and as a bonus means we need to get another shoot in the calendar!

No matter If I drop a cup of tea on his new rug, an energy drink in his dressing room - he keeps cool and reassures me it isn't an issue.. a true gent!

Thanks Greg! Always a dream to shoot together.

Thanks, until next time!

Greg is such a lovely guy, with creative ideas and a great studio! I had my first shoot with him while on tour in the area and really enjoyed the time we spent together.

His studio is well equipped and comfortable, with everything you’d possibly need as a model. Snacks and cups of tea were provided :)

Communication before the shoot was great - straight forward and gave me all the info I needed and some ideas for outfits and styling.

We shot a really nice range of images, including portraits, angular fashion, lingerie and fun images with props. Greg has a good eye for lighting, creating a lot of contrast between the different sets we shot. He was enthusiastic and encouraging, giving positive feedback about my styling and posing and making suggestions to help us achieve the best images possible! I loved the shots we reviewed on the back of the camera and look forward to seeing his final edits.

I hope I get to shoot with Greg again and would definitely recommend him to other models.

You know you're set for a great shoot when you arrive and are greeted by a photographer like the lovely Greg! I enjoyed a day's shooting with Greg and another photographer at the studio in Shepton Mallet, where I feel we were able to achieve some amazing shots, worked collaboratively with ideas and the time just flew! I'd have no hesitation recommending him to work with and hope to again myself 😊

So i feel as if my shoots with Greg have developed a bit of a reputation for creating a mess in his fantastic studio and for creating some brilliant images and once again, we live up to it! We started it doing a variety of styles from lingerie to art nude to fashion and eventually settled into a mess where our creativity really started to shine.

Greg is an amazing photographer with a phenomenal space and one of the kindest men I’ve met. He ensured your constant comfort whilst not being afraid to suggest tweak to angles, backdrops and poses in order to get the best photo possible. I cannot wait to see the results of our latest creating and look forward to shooting with him soon to execute on what we didn’t have time for!

My third shoot with Greg, and what can I say? He is truly one of my favorite photographers I have worked with! 🤩🥰

He isn't just an absolutely amazing individual with whom I feel at ease and warm! We always have so many great chats and laughs, and I absolutely adore all our shoots because I have such a great time! 😍

A little bit about our shoots: I would make it an absolutely perfect team! Greg has an amazing studio with lots of great props, furniture, and settings, good equipment, and absolutely amazing photographic skills! He can create perfect lighting even in the hardest conditions, and all shots look amazing! And the main thing for me is that he always supports my crazy ideas and helps bring them to life! 😍

He is so creative and easy-going that we manage to do 5 absolutely different sets in a couple of hours! And he is always happy to experiment and gives me the freedom to make something crazy and insane!

And the results are fabulous! It's always such a joy for me to come to our shootings, and I am always so excited about them because I am sure that no matter how crazy my idea is in my head, Greg will manage to make the shots look gorgeous! 🤩

Thank you so much, Greg. I am so happy I met you, and we could have so much fun. For me, it's a celebration each time when you post our photos because it reminds me of our great shoot, and I am so delighted to see these fabulous results!

I am so excited about what we will do next. There are so many great ideas that we could create! Thank you so much for being awesome! 😍 See you soon! 🥰

I had the chance to work with Greg again after many years, this time being at RawPics Studio in Somerset.

Greg is just as lovely as I remember. Very chatty amd friendly and extremely easy to work with.

Greg is always full of great ideas and is a fantastic photographer, I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics.

Highly recommended by me

Thanks again Greg, don't leave it so long next time 🙂

I met Greg in October during my tour in Bristol and we were shooting at his lovely home studio

I really enjoyed the shoot, Greg was great to work with, had many creative ideas and I really love some of our images!

I can absolutely recommend this photographer and hopefully will work with him again soon

I had an absolute pleasure working with Greg during my tour in Somerset. I reached out to him on relatively short notice, and Greg not only accepted my proposal for a photoshoot but also accommodated me when I couldn't find a place to stay. It was incredibly kind of him to offer me a stay in his amazing house. He provided me with all the necessary details, including information about parking, which was very considerate.

Greg and his adorable wife are absolutely amazing, friendly, and outgoing people! They were so kind to me, considering my comfort and making me feel at home. 🥰 We had an interesting chat together, and in the morning, they treated me to breakfast. 😍

Then, we headed to Greg's studio, which is located in a fascinating place, an old brewery. Greg gave me an interesting tour and showed me his studio, which I must say is absolutely stunning! 😍 There are so many fun details, great decor, props, amazing backgrounds, and professional equipment. You can experiment with various elements and create a lot of fun shots. There's also a very comfortable changing room with everything a model might need, plus an abundance of snacks. What's even more important is that there are snacks with no sugar, which was thoughtful because I don't eat sugar and usually struggle to find suitable snacks.

Greg made every effort to ensure my comfort, even worrying about the temperature and heating the area. 🥰 He encouraged me to suggest my own ideas and be creative, which I was thrilled to do since there were so many amazing places in his studio I wanted to shoot and ideas I wanted to explore. Greg is an amazing photographer with great skills in lighting angles and creativity. He captured stunning shots that I truly admire🤩. Working with him was easy and fun; we chatted a lot, laughed, and time flew by quickly. It was almost a bit sad because I'm sure we could have created even more great shots! 😍

In the end, Greg showed me all the photos on his camera, which made me very happy because it was truly amazing to see the results! I have to say that all of them look stunning, and it's really hard to choose what i like the most. 😅

Greg is an absolutely great person, easygoing, fun, interesting, kind, and an incredibly talented photographer. 😍 His shots are stunning, and the time flies when shooting with him. I highly recommend seizing the opportunity to work with him and truly hope to work with him again soon! Thank you so much for this fantastic shoot!

It is a pleasure to shoot with Greg, he is so creative and really concentrates on getting everything just right for you as a model and the shot he is taking.

We worked through a range of ideas, the first set I must say was my favourite, and I usually really struggle to pose in fashion!

His studio is spacious, clean and the snack drawer in the changing room, what a delight!

A relaxed shoot, lots to catch up on, new ideas put into images and just a wonderful shoot!

Highly recommended to all models

Kind regards

I just love working with Greg!! Greg is so easy to get along with and the conversation flows with ease, he is very creative and is always trying new set ups and ideas; it is so easy to model when you are genuinely excited by the results you are seeing.

I would absolutely recommend working with Greg and hope to do so again in the future.

Had a fantastic shoot with Greg to add to our growing list of successful shoots! This time at the delightful Belmont House.

The venue gave us plenty of opportunities to work through a range of looks from fashion to art nude - and as always the ideas were bouncing off the walls!

I really enjoy working with Greg, and the creative process that our team work produces. We definitely surpassed our own expectations which is always a good sign!

It’s a bit greedy but I really hope I get the opportunity to shoot there again with Greg as I feel we have a lot more fab images to get out of this venue.

Great company, kind and courteous, always superb pics - so very highly recommended once again from me 😊

Writing a reference for Greg is an incredibly easy yet incredibly difficult thing to do. It is incredibly easy because is a phenomenal photographer, an unbelievable creative and a genuinely lovely human being . It is incredibly difficult to write a reference because those words are the tip of the iceberg. Having worked with Greg twice now, I have to a credit him with my top two favourite shoots of all time. I can guarantee that I’ll come away having throughly enjoyed myself as well as having worked with someone who will say yes to everything and bounces of your ideas as easily as anything. He had an ability to make you feel at ease and comfortable, allowing you to fully relax into whatever it is you are shooting and his words of encouragement and advice are always welcome when aiming for the perfect photo.

I cannot wait to see the results from our last shoot and look forward to another wacky idea that leads to the third in my top three all time favourite shoots.

WOW! What an awesome shoot with Greg - I've forgotten how many times we have shot together but what I do know is that we always come up with creative, fresh and innovative ideas and today was no exception!

Greg is extremely accommodating whilst being very clear about the shots he is wanting to capture. I asked Greg if it was OK to shoot a new designer dress I had just bought and he was totally onboard and picked the perfect backdrop and lighting setup.

We then went on to another fashion look before getting in a lingerie look with a rock chick vibe then some art nude and some UV photography, which was lots of fun and very experimental.

Shooting with Greg is a really treat because not only is his studio extremely comfortable (I've mentioned the snack drawer before!) but also he's great company and has a fab sense of humour - and he takes super pics too!

Thank you Greg for another superb shoot and I know I always say it but I cannot wait to see the pics!

Very highly recommended.
