I worked with Greg (and Graham) for half a day just today at my home studio.

They both arrived on time and came armed with plenty of ideas to work through.

We shot some solo and duo work with Carla Monaco in the time we had, managed to get through a variety of different ideas and even had time for pancakes with raspberry's and honey as it was pancake day!! :D

The shoot went by so fast and all the images looked lovely. Greg and Graham took quite different shots which was great! I hope I can work with Greg again this year- in the studio he has or maybe in Bath! :)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Somersetman this week, kicking off my south west tour with a half day at their lovely studio, shooting a variery of styles from fashion to art nude! 😊

My pre-communication with them was excellent & on arrival were a welcoming and considerate host!

On set they were incredibly hospitable and respectful, as well as talkative as we discussed our plan of action!

Somersetman is a very detail oriented photographer and very easy to shoot with! Our time flew by!

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and look forward to seeing the results!

Highly recommended.

More than happy to leave this brilliant photographer and genuine man another positive reference!

We've shot in his studio countless times now, with one location shoot for our first ever, and we just never run out of ideas!

As soon as we sit down we start chatting and catching up and he puts me at ease and makes me feel comfortable and has me in fits of giggles.

We always have ideas before the shoot, and at the end of every other shoot we do together we have more that we just didn't get round to completing. We bounce ideas off eachother and get experimental with lighting and poses together and yesterday we were jumping (even though he was a broken foot!) with joy at an image we managed to create together.

Ill always look forward to my next shoot with Greg, thanks so much!

I had another lovely shoot with Greg on my recent tour of the South West!

This time I was staying a stone throw away from his home in an airbnb, and Greg was super helpful the entire time I was there. He was kind enough to collect me from the train station to get me to my airbnb safely, fixed my lock and my boot, amongst other things haha (it was a eventful few days haha!) It was incredibly kind of him to make sure I was ok and offer help if I needed :)

The shoot itself was just as eventful, poor Greg was in a cast but he still soldiered on with the shoot! I helped out with moving bits around the apartment and I am SO chuffed with the images we got. The shoots are always a real collaboration too, Greg is always happy to take your thoughts and ideas on board, this time even waiting patiently whilst I suspended myself upside down in a window haha!!

Overall another fabulous shoot and I would happily recommend Greg to others!

Once again another absolutely brilliant shoot with Greg :)

Greg is such a lovely person to work with, kind respectful and lovely to have a catch up with.

He isn't afraid to take a risk and try something different and as always the pictures he took turned out beautifully.

Thank you for another wonderful shoot Greg!

Best wishes

I was lucky to shoot with Greg again a couple weeks back when he joined 'An Eye for Beauty' shooting myself and fellow model *V*.

I always look forward to my shoot with Greg, he is such great company, interesting, fun, great sense of humour and a brilliant photographer.

Thanks for shooting me again, images are always 1st class.

See you again in 2019.

Best

Carla :)

Was really glad to get another shoot in and have another catch up with Greg before the end of the year, I just abolustely love working with him! Its endless ideas, whacky and conventional, entertaining and humourous conversation and bottomless teas!

Greg is one of those people who will take on an idea no matter how silly it is, and hes just so easy to get along with that the day absolutely flies by.. and we get so many sets in and were so confident with eachothers work ethic now that when we have a set and were happy with the lights, its only a few shots before we get what were looking for and can then move on.

Photographers and people like Greg are the reason I absolutely love my job so I thank you deeply for that!

Best wishes and highly highly recommended.

What can I say? I absolutely loved working with Greg for the first time yesterday. Such a fantastic person to work with - so easy to get on with, and far too easy to talk to!! Greg is a skilled photographer and very knowledgeable with studio lighting, I was so impressed by the effects he was creating. He showed me the back of the camera as we went, which helped me work to my best ability, and gave the shoot a collaborative approach. Greg is full of ideas and isn't afraid to experiment. We got some extremely different looks from our shoot and we could have gone on!

I would definitely recommend Greg; a great photographer and a total gentleman. I felt totally safe and respected at all times. If you get a chance to work with Greg, go for it! Thank you Greg!

Always an absolute joy to work with Greg!

He comes to each shoot full of energy, enthusiasm, with a fantastic eye for detail and of course a super photographer!

Many thanks for a lovely day Greg, hope to shoot again soon :)

Best wishes

It was an absolute pleasure meeting and working with Greg yesterday at an art nude studio day that I hosted with the incredible Siggy at Studio 58 in Bristol.

Greg is professional and easy to work with, gives great direction and I love his attention to detail. He worked really hard to get the lighting perfect for us and as you can see for the image he has already loaded we captured some fantastic pics!

The three of us worked really well as a team and 2 hours was not enough.

I love Greg's passion and enthusiasm for photography and he understands art nude very well.

I hope that we will work again together very soon. Thank you Greg for a very enjoyable shoot. Highly recommended :)

Greg attended mine and Melany's studio day at Studio 58 Bristol.

Greg was absolute pleasure to work with - professional, friendly, creative and wonderful person.

We shot for two hours and i think in such short time we created some amazing work. Im so very pleased with result :)

Thank you Greg for amazing shoot. I hope we will have a chance to work together again.

Highly recommended.

Had a super shoot with Greg on my tour to his area, he was kind enough to collect me from the station further away from him after my train was cancelled - though I was very pleased as this gave us a chance to chat and get to know each other with this being our first time working together :)

Greg had some really creative ideas and he was keen for the shoot to be a true collaboration, listening to my ideas and taking my input on board, which I feel always makes for a great shoot. I particularly enjoyed the set we did with the posing boxes and from what I saw on the back of the camera we created some beautiful work together. Not to mention the images he has published since have been fabulous!!

I would highly recommend Greg to other models, he's great company, looks after his models incredibly well and is very respectful :) I hope we can work together again when I'm next in the area!

I recently shot with Greg and Graham (An eye for beauty) whilst on my South West Tour - the pair of them were the ultimate gentlemen, they collected me from my accommodation and dropped me back off, came equipped with snacks (chocolates) and water. They had scouted out locations local to where I was staying and throughout the shoot they ensured I was comfortable, that I had breaks to warm up and even protected my life against some cows/baby bulls that seemed to be in every field we had to pass through :D haha and I am rather scared of cows.

We had a lot of fun and the images produced from the shoot are truly lovely.

I would definitely work with Greg again and hope to do so on my next tour of the woods :D

Highly Recommended,

Another wonderful shoot with Greg!

Having worked with him a few times now it's always sometime I look forward to :)

He's incredibly laid back, makes a cracking brew and always brings along snacks! This time round we shot something a little different in the pin up style which was really fun, then played around with a few other ideas he had before finishing up at some hay bales. The whole shoot from start to finish was incredibly fun as always and hope to see him next time I visit the area :D

Happily recommended by me!

Another shoot with Greg and Graham (Eye for Beauty); this time in a stunning hotel with Elizabethan costumes hired from a local theatre company. We had 4 outfits to get through in 4 hours but the shoot was very relaxed and we even had time for a lovely lunch in the bar. Working with Greg is always a pleasure - he's professional, helpful, chatty and even took an interest in my photography work. The images I saw on the back of the camera look great and it's always nice to get to do something different! I look forward to working with Greg in the future - recommended.

Second shoot with Greg after a whole year, having enjoyed my last shoot so much I was very excited to work with him again!

This time we worked in the studio on a balloon and suitcase series! Greg was very happy to flow with my mad ideas as well as offer his creative direction.

I feel very comfortable around Greg, his one of those people you can just get along with straight away and is a very good listener!

I recommend Greg to all creatives :)
