During our second shoot Greg and I hit the streets of Bradford-on-Avon and took advantage of the beautiful sunshine!

All pre shoot communications were exceptional, which came in handy knowing exactly what to pack and bring with me. He's a very friendly gentlemen and easy to get along with which just makes the day fly by!

We did a few costume changes in nearby bathrooms around the town and whilst I did that he went scouting! I must say his scouting skills truly are fantastic, he found loads of cool and quirky places to shoot really quickly helping us to be as productive as possible.

We dove between cars and scaled walls but it truly was lovely to work with Greg once again, he has a very good eye for detail and the back of the camera images were brilliant.

I highly recommend working with Greg and look forward to our next shoot!

I believe this was out second shoot together! I loved the first shoot so i knew i would enjoy this one. We went to his studio nearby to shoot. It a great little space to shoot. I must admit we are both terrible at chatting for maybe a bit too long but we still took a lot of images. So yes! another very enjoyable shoot together. I would recommend him for sure and hope to work together again in the future. Thanks a lot for a great shoot.

I dont have a bad word to say about Greg, about his prossionality when with models is spot on, he has a great sense of humour and is so easy to talk to..(maybe too easy...!! :P)

We switched it up for the first time in about 2 years this last time round! We usually shoot in his studio, which we are always spilling with ideas to shoot! (Also done a loaction in Bath) But this time we shot at my house. The lighting was a dull despite my balcony door and big window letting in light, but of course, Greg overcame the problem! I was happy to have him as a guest in my home, he was polite and respectful as always.

We got through quite a few sets, we managed to get some nude on my balcony with the pink wall which was the ol' "dash - click, click, click - dash" effort -- which we nailed!

Thanks so much Greg... next location... :P

Katyb!

I've worked with Greg for the first time at the Natural Light Spaces, and he was a joy to shoot with!

Pre-shoot communication was great.

Greg is someone very laid back, easy to work with and very talented with a clear understanding of the light.

We worked around jumps, dance, movements. Greg was not used to doing this style of shoot but I believe he was pretty good at it! He was keen to listen to my advice, regarding the dance technical part. He was also very patient and receptive.

That is when you are relaxed than you produce the best pictures and it's what we've done.

I am glad I had the opportunity to work with this lovely photographer and I hope to work with him again soon.

Highly recommend!

I worked with Greg and his friend Graham for the first time and we ended up shooting two days in a row!

The first day was at A Scorpian Residence as they had a no show from a model so I received a phone call from Greg asking if I could join them and I did! Greg is happy to go for some quirky conceptual ideas which I had so much fun with and can't wait to see them!

The second day was at The Natural Light Spaces where Greg and Graham (and Tris!) let me have a go on the aerial hope as well which I loved! I had a wonderful time working with Jessica Taylor one day and Boou the next as well. All in all we had a great laugh!

It was great to meet Greg and have him shooting in my studio spaces yesterday along with his photographer friend Graham (An Eye for Beauty). All comms leading up to the shoot were as they should be and first impressions were really good. Both Greg and Graham are instantly likeable, friendly and very good to chat with, when we had the opportunity.

All shoot spaces and facilities on offer were treated respectfully and I was happy to just leave them to it, as they are both highly skilled and experienced photographers, not really requiring any assistance from myself.

Just like to mention that both models, Jessica Taylor and Jade Lyon were also lovely and overall, I think everyone enjoyed the day and hopefully captured some great images here. All are certainly recommended and most definitely welcome to return - Lee :-)

I had a great shoot with Greg, he booked me at the scorpion residence. Before the day, comms were great explaining all the details including outfits which were very helpful for preparation. On the day there were some complications with another model but he worked around it, adapted the day and even found a replacement.

During the shoot, Greg was great at explaining any ideas he had and just let me flow pose. He was patient with me and I had a great fun experiment with shapes and props. He is very friendly, professional, and aware of models' comfort and safety.

Thank you for a great afternoon.

As soon as I had planned the dates for my Bristol tour the first person I messaged was Greg, and I am so happy that he could fit me in for a shoot!

Greg is not only my favourite photographer to work with in Bristol, he's right up there with my favourite ever people to work with.

I can't remember what I've said in previous references as we've worked together for years now, so if this reference doesn't fill you with the desire to drop everything and shoot with Greg, then please see previous references!

Firstly Greg has a wonderful studio, it's always a good temperature with tea and snacks and props galore, backdrops and blinds and wallpapered panels and every colour voile you could ever imagine, he really has the whole kit and kaboodle!

Greg also has great quirky ideas and always makes it so easy to pack for shoots by sending a concise message with a list of what he'd like to shoot and a rough outline of what outfits should work, no ping pong messages for months, nice and straight forward! We usually have 3 looks planned for a half day shoot and finish off with whatever kooky wacky idea we have both come up with! Greg is brilliant with models, he knows how to give good direction and how to work together to get the best image of the set.

The atmosphere is always so relaxed and we flow through sets while chatting and laughing and listening to his awesome music playlists! Greg is an utter gentleman, a patient and kind man with a wonderful heart and a bloody epic portfolio!

To summarise, if I stopped modelling tomorrow I would still be seeing Greg whenever I came to Bristol, he really is the bees knees

Thank you xxx

I had another amazing shoot with Greg! This time on a rocky beach which is such a good location!

I knew exactly what to bring and we did a number of different styles which all looked SO good on the back of the camera.

I'm so excited to see the finished images :)

Greg is so lovely to work with, relaxed professional and friendly.

Thank you for such an enjoyable shoot

Highly Recommended :)

I utterly adore shooting with Greg, it's so wonderful working with a photographer who's on the same silly/wacky wavelength as me. Shoots with Greg are never dull, he's always bursting with fabulous ideas and heaps of enthusiasm. Not only is Greg a very talented and creative photographer, he's also wonderful company and I enjoy hanging out with him and chatting about random stuff as much as I do creating awesome image with him.

Very highly recommended!

I had my first shoot today with the wonderful Greg at South House retreat.

Gregs pre-comms where great. He proposed a number of great ideas and provided great direction about the outfits he wanted me to bring.

Shoot day came and Greg was instantly a friendly face. We got on from the word go and had very similar ideas about what made a great shot!! - Greg is extremely creative and really has an eye for what works. He gave great direction, and, even though we only had an hour we got some excellent shots!!

I'd highly recommend Greg and i'd certainly love to shoot with him again!!

I had a great day shooting with Greg.

Pre comms were excellent.

He is a really friendly guy and easy to get on with.

We bounced ideas back and forth effortlessly and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results!

A pleasure to work with and I hope to work with him again in the future :)

I hope i continue to be lost for words with every reference i write for Greg!

This is about our 10th photoshoot together, all in his his studio space apart from the very first location shoot.

We just never seem to run out of ideas, its relentless creativity, laughing and a good old catching up!

I love working with Greg, we always create what we had in mind and we get so excited when a set excels our expectations.

I look forward to each and every shoot i have with Greg, and im always proved right afterwards.

Always my highest recommendations for this fab photographer!

Until next time!

had a great first shoot with greg! we shot at his studio and we where shooting a mix of fashion through to some art nudes. We got on so well that it diddnt feel like I had only just met him. He was great at giving me directions too. I had a great time and I think the day flew by. We already have our next shoot organised and I cant wait. Thanks a lot for a great shoot.

My first shoot with Greg and it was absolutely fantastic! We shot at the beautiful Ston Easton Park in one of the most elegant rooms. Greg made me feel so comfortable straight away and plenty of conversations! We discussed our shoot and outfit ideas, and let our imaginations run! I am really excited to see the finished results. We have created some images that I have never seen before, and had so much fun. Thank you again Greg, very much looking forward to shooting with you again soon. Kind regards Hannorah

Greg and I shot for the first time together today and what a joy it was! Greg is a very friendly character bursting with ideas.

Pre shoot communications were fantastic and a clear understanding and plan was set from the beginning. He sent me over images from my own port regarding lingerie and clothing choices that he wished to use, which I found very helpful.

We were so engrossed in shooting we quickly found ourselves running out of time, however what we shot (and what I saw from the back of the camera!) looked amazing!

Thankyou for a really good, enjoyable shoot, I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Absolutely love shooting with Greg, we shot last week on a joint shoot with me and Artemis and photographer 'An eye for beauty'.

We got some stunning art nude images, Greg is so good with lighting and I can't wait to see the edits :)

Greg is always fun, easy going and great company, always love our shoots.

Thanks for a another great shoot and I look forward to going down to Greg's studio hopefully this summer.

Thanks again
