I've just had an absolutely SUPER first shoot with Greg today as part of my 'walk & shoot' casting in the beautiful Forest of Dean. Pre shoot comms were excellent & Greg's warm personality really came across in his messages.

I'm always a little anxious before shooting with someone new to me but as soon as Greg turned up with a big smile those nerves went. Greg is incredibly easy to get along with - warm, friendly & very interesting to talk to, it felt like meeting up with an old friend & having a lovely walk & a chat.

Greg totally entered into the spirit of our shoot & was absolutely enchanted by the Forest, seeing opportunities everywhere - my kind of person! In fact we only got half way through our walk as we were both feeling so inspired by the surroundings & the glorious colours at this time of year.

Greg was full of ideas but also very open to my suggestions & I really enjoy this very collaborative way of working. We checked the back of the camera after each set of shots & I have to say I had to restrain myself from doing lots of excited squeals & I can't wait to see the images! The time honestly flew by, Greg's enthusiasm is totally infectious.

As for working together, Greg was totally professional, very kind & respectful & always careful to ensure I wasn't getting too cold (it is November!). I felt completely relaxed & at ease with him right from the first moments. He explains very clearly what he is seeing & gives great direction when it's needed.

We'd decided we'd better call it a day, the light was fading, & we were on our way back when we both commented on how fabulous a section of the Forest was below where we were walking - beautiful tall trees & a carpet of deep auburn leaves & before we knew it Greg knew exactly the shot he wanted to take & I'd gone down to the bottom & was lying on the leaves like a starfish! Totally chuffed with that shot & many others.

Greg, YOU are a star, I can't remember ever enjoying a first shoot so much. I know we've discussed another shoot, possibly a duo, & I genuinely hope we are able to do that.

My highest possible recommendation to all models & photographers. Thank you so much Greg for a really wonderful day, I enjoyed every moment - even the damp, cold, wet & muddy bits!

Another AMAZING shoot with Greg. We get along so well that I feel he is a friend, so it’s always really nice to see him and catch up. The pre communications were fantastic, we were both very excited to shoot the looks I had put together. Greg came and got me from Keynsham, meaning my journey was wonderfully and relaxingly short. Arriving to the studio I was greeted with a really warm space, bundles of tea and of course the famous snack drawer! We got to shooting fairly quickly and the pictures we captured were magic!! Greg is super easy to work with, very professional with a keen eye for fashion. His studio has an incredible selection of backdrops and lighting, so capturing the picture you want is easy as pie.

Although I am moving to London soon, I hope I will continue to shoot with Greg!

I absolutely love love LOVE working with Greg! I have had the pleasure 5 times now and each shoot has been a dream! His enthusiasm, energy, kindness, sense of humour and sheer love of what he does means you can not fail to have a great time. Today I got to shoot in his new studio which he takes great pride in and so he should because it’s fabulous! Plenty of space and oh my….. the dressing room!! 😍 he even has a snack drawer for the models… what an absolute gent being so thoughtful! We covered many sets today as well as having a good ole catch up, he makes a great cuppa too btw!! His passion for his work is admirable, he has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve and is great at working as a team to create the best possible shots. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Greg, please don’t let it pass. You will undoubtably have an amazing time from start to finish, 4 hours today flew by and if I could, I’d work with him everyday! I’m loving what I’ve seen on the back of the camera so o can’t wait to see the finished results when he’s worked his magic on them. Honestly Greg, that was the best possible start to my 5 day tour, thank you for yet another truly wonderful shoot 😊

Had another amazing shoot with Greg at his studio. The day flew by and we didn’t get through half the looks that I brought (as usual!), but as always we had a fun, creative and productive shoot!

I really enjoy working with Greg because he’s an ace with the lighting and always takes time to explain to me the set up and what he’s trying to achieve. We are both perfectionists so I really like he’s dedication to getting the shot as he wants it.

We develop ideas really well together, both contribution to how the final shot will look. Yesterday’s shoot was no exception and we worked through a range of art nude to fashion nude looks including with a variety of backdrops and lighting set ups.

Greg’s portfolio speaks for itself and in addition to taking a great pic he’s very good company and very considerate and courteous.

So if you get the opportunity to work with Greg then go for it!!

Very highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had another amazing opportunity to work with Greg at Inspire Studios for my last maternity shoot! Greg has captured images throughout my pregnancy from 14, 26 and 34 weeks.

I love working with Greg, it just clicks when we are shooting. We shot a range of images from lingerie, fashion, bodyscape and a special vintage vibe with fabric draped around me and bump! It is such a pleasure to work with him, and I am very excited to see the images, and to look back and watch how my body has grown and changed throughout my pregnancy. They are images I will treasure forever.

Thank you for a fantastic, relaxed shoot Greg, it was so much fun!

Highly recommended to all models.

Kind regards Hannorah

Creativity Hub Events

After over a year (and what seemed like forever!) we finally hosted Greg at our 1940’s themed event.

He was everything you’d hope for a photographer to be; kind, talented, thoughtful, innovative and he gave fabulous direction and bought plenty of on theme props to add to the scenes.

Greg is a wonderful creative energy to have on set and we’d welcome him back with open arms!

I had the opportunity to work with Greg in his lovely studio and it was brilliant!

I was touring in Bath and Greg kindly picked me up and dropped me back while the studio was 45 min away from where I was staying... a ​real gentleman!

We had a 2h shoot in his lovely studio, everything is very well equipped with a nice selection of different backgrounds, a model room with everything you need as well as some tea and snacks! Everything to make you feel comfortable!

Greg had some lovely ideas in mind but let me give my inputs during the shoot which made it a real collaboration. It was really productive but 2h was not enough I wish he had more time to create with him, I'm really looking forward to our next shoot!

Professional, talented, and such a nice and genuine person to be around... I highly recommend Greg to to anyone who would have the same chance as me!

Thanks, Greg for that opportunity, you've been awesome! :)

I had a fantastic shoot with Greg at Inspire Studios. We shot a range of fashion and lingerie, but this time with my baby bump slightly bigger than last time as I am now six months pregnant. Greg is such a lovely person, he is great to chat away to and full of creative ideas. Our last set chaise lounge was beautiful, thank you Greg for your suggestion to use it. I came away smiling from today, I really felt confident and excited to see our finished results.

If you get the opportunity to work with Greg you will not be dissapointed, he is talented, professional and produces stunning images.

Thank you for a fabulous shoot.

Highly recommended to all models.

Kind regards Hannorah

Had a fantastic first visit to Greg’s amazing new studio! What an amazing space and Greg has kitted it out brilliantly with a huge choice of backdrops and space to shoot and fab lighting setting ups (Greg is awesome on lighting among other things).

We had a really productive shoot covering a wide range of looks from art nude to retro and futuristic!

I really enjoy working and creating with Greg, we get on so well and that’s a lot to do with Greg’s great sense of humour, relaxed approach, and considerate and collaborative approach.

The four hours flew by but luckily Greg has booked me again so this is a to be continued!…

Very highly recommended :)

I recently had my second shoot with Greg and what an awesome shoot it was! I really enjoyed working with this true gent again. This was by far one of my most colourful and fun days shooting in a studio for a long time, we got loads of incredible shots together. I love that he loves colour and isn't afraid of being bold!

Greg was great throughout, providing drinks and snacks specifically for my diet which is beyond lovely, thank you :) all the while as chatty as ever and professional throughout

Highly recommended!

Thank you Greg, I look forward to working with you again :)

I had such an enjoyable shoot with Greg! Our beach shoot got rained off so we went to his studio and WOW it is amazing! The building itself is just incredible and inside the studio is just as incredible. Lots of coloured backdrops, props and a great space for the changing room not forgetting how clean and tidy it is.

We had such a good shoot it was really enjoyable. Greg is so talented I love working with him!

The images looked amazing on the back of the camera I'm so so excited to see the final results.

Thank you Greg for such a good shoot fingers crossed we shoot again soon :-)

Highly Recommended :-)

I had such a wonderful shoot with Greg, he’s so talkative, creative and great to get along with. And the shoot flied by so quickly.

The studio was fabulous and he had a great balance between allowing me some movement in poses and directing to get really nice shots. Aswell as lots of interesting different backdrops. And good breaks for tea and chats!

I had a lovely time and would highly recommend shooting with him, what a genuinely lovely person.

Thanks for the shoot!

Had yet another fantastic shoot with Greg! This time we were on location at Dorchester Prison - I knew the shoot was going to be awesome but the images we captured were stunning!

Greg is such a delight to spend time with - a real gent and such a great sense of fun. Best of all we are very like-minded when it comes to our approach to shooting and make a great team. I love how ideas and concepts evolve and Greg’s collaborative approach is exactly how I like to shoot.

I feel very relaxed and happy shooting with Greg whether it’s on location shoots such as today or at his studio. In fact I will be shooting with him again next month - lucky me!

Very highly recommended! :)

Greg... what a wonderful man!

Everything about this shoot was perfect, from brilliant pre comms, to the creative ideas and images produced that we both absolutely adore!

Greg is such a lovely, kind hearted man and one of the nicest people I've crossed paths with in this modelling journey so far.

He kindly picked me up from the station and was instantly welcoming and friendly. He even had a bottle of cold water waiting for me as it was a hot day!

His studio is equipped with everything you should ever need, from weird and wonderful props, quirky furniture, endless backdrops and high spec lighting. With this to work with and the level of expertise Greg has, we were able to create some incredible images. He used the lighting in so many creative ways and his experience shone through, I knew I was in good hands!

It was also my first time being offered a cosy dressing gown to walk around in during sets, this is the lovliest gesture, especially when working to implied nude. So thoughtful and respectful.

He didn't push levels, we discussed them openly prior to the shoot and during shooting and I did everything I wanted to and was comfortable with. I've experienced the total opposite to this, so Greg's whole approach and personality was so refreshing.

I could go on and on but I'll leave it with, if you ever get the opportunity to work with Greg, then take it!

I can't wait until the next time,

Thank you Greg,

Mai :)

I had my first shoot a few days ago with the truly lovely Greg.

Pre comms were spot on. We had arranged the shoot a little in advance so we kept in touch beforehand. I knew exactly what to bring and the kind of styles we were going to shoot and felt very prepared!

On the day Greg met me in the car park and helped me with my bags (even with injuries to his hands - what an absolute gent!) and I was led to the wonderful space that is his studio! There was tea and coffee, snacks, the biggest changing room I've ever seen and a fabulous array of backdrops/areas to work in. Genuinely felt like a kid in a sweet shop!

Greg had many creative ideas and sadly we didn't get through them all, but we certainly came away with some beautiful images. He is a great photographer and thinks outside the box. Giving guidance where needed and also letting me flow, I couldn't fault him. He's also just genuinely lovely and fun to be around!

Definitely hope to do it again and highly recommend working with Greg to any model!!

Thank you ☺️

Another wonderful shoot with Greg - To be honest I have lost count of how many we have done haha!! I always look forward to catching up with him though when I'm on tour of his neck of the woods, as I know the shoot will be a fabulous mix of nattering and catching up with a friend whilst also creating some awesome images together :D

Greg had very unfortunately injured his elbow and hand the day before our shoot, but went ahead like a trooper with some assistance from my husband with lighting etc. He had lots of ideas and sets planned, and despite having to take things a little bit slower we managed to get all of them done and get some super images from each set :)

I 100% recommend Greg to others and can't wait to catch up next time I'm visiting :D

My second shoot with Greg at Inspire Studios. It has been 2 years since we last worked together and it is an absolute pleasure to be working together again.

Greg is professional, kind, friendly and a true gentleman. We created some beautiful images ranging from some very funky yellow and orange fashion, lingerie, boudoir to concealed nude.

I am very excited to see and share the images we created, as you can see from his portfolio his images are truly stunning.

I look forward to working with Greg again soon on our next project.

Highly recommended to all models.

Kind regards Hannorah

I had my first shoot with Greg few days ago at his new lovely studio.

He is very welcoming, polite and respectful person. I felt myself very comfortable and relaxed during all shoot.

Greg is very professional and experienced photographer with many creative ideas. He is giving perfect directions and he mentions every little detail to get an outstanding result. After every set he showed me the pictures on his tablet and I was very impressed with the photos we have created!

I really hope to get a chance to work with Greg again in the future.

Thank you 🙂
