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 :)

About once a year on my Bristol tour I'm lucky enough to spend a few hours shooting with this wonderful gentleman! Greg is a kind, gentle and creative person with an artistic eye and quirky style.

Greg is a dream photographer, he's enthusiastic and passionate, he's respectful and professional as well as being great company.

Our shoots are more fun each time and I can hand on heart say that of the hundreds and hundreds of photographers I've worked with Greg is right up there with my favourites

Thank you for yet another awesome shoot :) alongside Graham. The Victorian theme was so much fun and I loved dressing up in all of the stunning costumes. It was a very hot day but they both took great care of me! They made sure I had lots to drink and a lovely lunch. The time passed so quickly and we just about made it through all of the costume changes. I loved every minute and we laughed so much! I can’t wait to work with you again one day :) you’re truly a pleasure to be around! Claire Topaz

Shot with the lovely Greg again after far too long! It was lovely to catch up & create some great images together too!

As always, Greg is a real pleasure to work with. He’s respectful, full of cool ideas and a genuinely great fun guy!

The time flew as we worked through a few different sets and the shots looked awesome too!

I’d recommend Greg to anyone! Hope to work together again soon, thanks for an ace shoot!

Another fantastic shoot:)

Greg is such a gentleman, lovely company and respectful always.

We had a dance themed shoot in a beautiful studio in Bath, something a bit different to what I normally shoot!

Greg has a great eye for capturing shots and was very happy to ask for my opinion on them which was lovely and he also gave great directions too.

A really brilliant day, thank you Greg :)

Best wishes

I cannot say how happy I was when Greg asked me to join him on an amazing day at The Old Rectory.

I have worked with Greg before so as soon as we met at the station it was almost like we just continued our last conversation from months ago! He is super lovely and is a very talented photographer who is always happy and smiley and full of fun conversations. Everything is lovely and chilled so you can really take your time to get your poses spot on, sometimes this needs some direction which Greg is very good at.

The location of this shoot was just second to none, amazing huge location with so many rooms and so many props to use and model against / with. We actually ran out of time! 8 hours, and we ran out of time!!! Time just flew by and I had such a blast and we got soooo many amazing shots.

Greg comes VERY highly recommended by me.

Greg - don’t forget, your chimney pots are just fine! ;)

I had an awesome ship graveyard shoot with Greg! He has sent me a shot from the shoot which is definitely unique for my portfolio and I really love it! I can't wait to see more pictures :D Super excited to work with him again in a couple of weeks time! I also need to say what a patient, relaxed, laid back, chatty, engaging, off the wall and fun person he is :) Thank you Greg and see you very soon! Claire Topaz

I absolutely love working with Greg, hes one of the most enjoyable photographers to shoot with. He has a brilliant sense of humour and hes a hugely respectful photographer.

Every shot we've done, apart from our very first in Bath have been shot at his studio in Keynsham, not that youd know with his huge variation of lighting which he can easily set up with his knowledge of the studio.

We always have a few ideas beforehand and precomms is always absolutely on point, he lets me know what items he'd like me to bring and asks me to bring any other cool items id want to shoot in. As i lay my stuff out of the sofa ideas just spring into life.. and then the excitement comes to turn them into reality!

We've always got more ideas by the end of the shoot.. resulting in another exciting day to look forward to.

Thanks so much Greg, for bringing my weird ideas to life and for being an absolutely lovely person to spend the day with.

Always look forward to our next shoot!

*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**

Another amazing shoot with this amazing guy. I have worked numerous times with Greg and they just keep getting better. On this occasion he joined us for a group event whilst i worked alongside my brother from another mother Artemis Fauna on an androgynous themed event. It was amazing! Greg interacted with the group as well as us and helped make it as much of a social night as it was a shoot. He was a fab asset to the group and got some super cool images from the evening. I could work with Greg over and over and hope to do so he is an absolute joy to model for and every shoot is full of fun and giggles. 100% recommended by me of course :-)

Artemis Fauna

When Greg was one of the first to book onto the Andro evening with Amie and myself I was super duper pleased! It had been almost two years since I last saw Greg and now being almost 'up the road' it worked out so well!

The evening was about three hours or so of different andro looks, funky sets, good company and some tasty snacks! All the photographers got on great and it was a superb evening had by all! Lots of cool images and laughs :)

Greg was great to work with- has already put up some wicked images and I really hope we can work together again this year while I am in my North Wiltshire home studio!

Thank you so much Greg, can't wait to work with you again and see some more shots go up :D

I Had fantastic first shoot with Greg today at my place!

Pre-shoot communication was perfect And Greg arrived on time.

Greg attitude was very professional, dramatically creative and he was genius to find the perfect spots and angles for each set of shoots. I loved all the images he showed me behind the camera during the shoot.

He is very friendly, fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and I hope we going to together in near future.

I had so so much fun working with Greg,

He embraced my crazy ideas and we did so much pose and prop experimentation, but we hit gold with every set!

I love that he is a perfectionist and was wiling to spend time tweaking lights and angles to turn a good image into a great one.

Greg himself is as lovely as pie, good sense of humour, enthusiastic and even kind enough to share his lunch with me when I forgot to bring mine!

It's days like this one that make me so happy about my career choice.

Thank you Greg, bring on the next one!

Yayy! A second opportunity arose to work with this awesome gent after we first met a good while back on a studio day at Curiosity Studios in Wales. This time we got the chance to throw some fantabulous ideas around the place at Greg's own studio in Somerset during my recent South-West tour, when we started chatting about shooting again it was probably a matter of just a few emails and we had something planned and set to go! :D Greg's communications are pristine and I cannot thank him enough for it even though I can be all over the place when trying to coordinate things on a tour to make each day + travelling work. Bless him, he even had an organised map and details of how to find the studio since Satnavs can be a bit weird! He's the most helpful and down to earth person you could work with. :)

Greg's studio is literally kitted out with all the best necessities too! From fun props to munchies/brew-making facilities and a really impressive team of lighting setups which enable him to work utter magic with shooting different concepts. :D We had a good number of fun and arty ideas to nail and that team-fuelled flow clicked into place from the word go! Just the same as our first shoot. :) From sculpted light and shadows to totally fun/off the wall looks... I had a whale on this shoot and as before: cracked a couple of ribs with the laughs too! :D But I can only highlight in words how much of a blast it is to work with Greg, seeing the back of the camera as you take time to review what you're creating as a team will make you squeal with excitement... If Greg comes up with a shot proposal or you propose aa suggestion to him then he will move mountains to boss the light and composition to get the shot. He's all ears for models to give their input too and as a model you really feel valued on the shoot. :) This gent has every degree of respect for the people involved with making a shoot a success, You'll be well looked after and adore the results!

I cannot recommend Greg enough, he always puts out the stops to make models feel happy and comfortable on a shoot. You'll get endless courtesy and utter professionalism working with him, our shoots have always been mega productive and relaxed simultaneously... It almost feels not like work! :D He is just a total joy to shoot with and I certainly look forward to working with Greg again in the future on a whole new batch of crazy and ingenious ideas! That's if he'll have me back after slapping graffiti all over his studio wall! :D

Thanks again Greg!

Now Greg has to be up there with my absolute favourite photographers that i've met and worked with over the past 5 years!

I worked with him in my first year, at group shoots when i was very new but he gave me great images for my port and gave me ideas on poses. Greg was also my first location shoot in Bath and the conversation has flowed easily since the first shoot we did.. still able to natter the day away!

Whenever we work together we always always end up with stunning images. Some whackier than others!! We've got very comfortable with eachother now, in the sense we can come up with the craziest ideas and we almost know the other person will be happy to go along with it and see how well it goes!

Greg is very very very respectful towards models in his studio, offering dressing gowns, a place to change so youre covered and he keeps you topped up with cuppa teas and jaffa cakes!

He is getting very talented at his lights, he seems to just excel himself and get better each time we work together.. with new ideas and lighting that fits all styles.. portraits, art nudes, you name it!!

Always a pleasure, ande I cant wait to work together again,

Katy

South House Retreat

Yet another successful day with laughter and some great shots. So love having you here at South House Retreat

Amie Boulton

I absolutely Love shooting and working alongside Greg, easily one of my faves to work with. I have worked with him several times now and each time gets better and better! I feel we are friends now and when we start working together it just flows. This time we headed to south house retreat where we were joined by georgian historian and Tatiana T. What a fun filled day at the beautiful house. Communication is always easy with Greg so i had my suitcase at the ready on the day and we talked through ideas after looking at the places he had in mind to shoot and picked accordingly and the back of the cameras look awesome! Greg is such an easy going down to earth guy which makes it so easy to model for him, it's always relaxed and full of fun and i went home on a high knowing we were both happy with how the day went! I look forward to seeing the images and hope there will be more opportunities to work with him again in the future! Greg, you rock :-)

I had my first and hopefully not my last shoot with this wonderful gentleman during one of my tours. Greg was fab to work with, full of great ideas and enthusiasm. We tried out a various sets and got creative and experimental with a few too. Its lovely working with someone that is creative and wants to push boundaries.

Greg was great throughout, very friendly, professional and has a great studio :)

Thank you for inviting me, I hope we can work together again in the future.

Highly recommended!

What a bloody lovely day!

I shot with Greg for the first time today at Mr Daves. After previously booking a shoot with Greg and having to cancel the tour I was so pleased that we finally managed to get the chance to shoot together.

Greg is a brilliant photographer, he had lots of great ideas and was so enthusiastic about everything. Super chatty too, we just giggled the day away!

I highly recommend Greg and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Much love,

Eve

I crossed paths briefly with Greg last year when he delivered Lulu Lockhart to me after a bit of a mix up with the trains, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to meet him properly over the past weekend when he came along to South House Retreat to work with Sinopa Rin & Jezebelle.

A very relaxed and chatty guy who really knows his onions. It was lovely to meet you properly Greg and I hope our paths cross again in the future (Y)
