I had the pleasure of working with Shaun on Thursday. Such an easy going guy and very very easy to talk to. Very professional photographer with a great and advanced kit. He was completely cool with the model and myself having a play with some ideas to suit the brief and was very patient whilst makeup was happening. Both the model and I got on really well with him and you can tell he has plenty of experience. He took some amazing photos that I'm really happy to have in my portfolio. We all chatted and came up with loads more ideas to work on! I would love to work with Shaun again.

Thanks again, I would highly recommended!

I had a great shoot yesterday with Shaun. His pre-shoot communication is great and he is a very friendly man who I felt very comfortable suggesting my own ideas to the shoot. He had picked a lovely location for us to shoot at which was a country estate and the shots look really ideal for the summer evening look we wanted to achieve.

I hope to work with Shaun again.

Where do I start?! Communication was spot on before and after our shoot.

Shaun replied to my casting, and from moment one we started talking and riots of ideas between us for a shoot. We've ended up going for a shoot and full of ideas from start to finish.

Working with Shaun was great. I totally loved it! He made me feel 100% relaxed throughout the day. He shared his ideas on where I should stand to bring that effect of the image. He has such a fun, and enthusiastic character and importantantly understanding but at the same time he takes his work seriously. There were trust and we had such good laugh, he had to put up with me really wanting to get into the river and being a silly daredevil wich will be arranged for a next shoot. I believe all model and photographers should have trust and good connection to each other , He never pressured me in anything I wasn't comfortable doing , he listened to my ideas and was very forward from start to finish. He picked me up and drove to a location that I will definitely go back for a shoot. And after the shoot was done he brought me back home.

Shaun has done a brilliant job, looking back at the images I was amazed because while he was photoshooting me the weather wasnt look nice at first but then it was lovely. He still were determined to achieve great pictures which I definitely think we got dome great shots from what I've seen on his camera.

I Highly recommend Shaun.

I can't wait for another photoshoot with him on sunday and more in future.

It was lovely to meet you Shaun . Thank You for a brilliant fun shoot: ) x

Shaun made the journey to the studio for a pre booked shoot with a model to shoot pin up style. Shaun arrived on time. was very friendly and chatty. The model was at ease with him, he was patient whilst the model changed and was in no rush to keep shooting, the images I've seen looked great. shaun is deffintatley welcome back at the studio any time.

I've just got home from a great first shoot with Shaun. He replied to a casting call of mine and from his first message he was full of ideas! He quickly set up a Pinterest board and sent lots of messages, each with bigger and more exciting ideas as our planning went on. I was really excited about this shoot and Shaun was clearly just as excited and had great ideas. We finally got to shoot today and Shaun arrived ready to shoot but with a relaxed attitude and didn't make me feel rushed in any way. I felt at ease with him straight away and found him really easy to chatter to throughout the shoot.

The images he showed me in the back of his camera looked fantastic and I'm sure the end result will be just what I wanted!

Shaun is a lovely man and great photographer and I would be more then happy to shoot with him again and would have no problems recommending him to any other models.

Thanks for the great shoot Shaun! Look forward to speaking to you soon!

Finally after nearly 6 months of planning I finally got to shoot with Shaun, he is fun and relaxed and makes you feel really comfortable. The pre communication was great we knew exactly what we were gonna shoot. He gives great direction and makes you laugh. Shaun is chatty and even though he was in alot of pain he carried on regardless. Would love to work with him again soon and would highly recommend him.

Sparx used my studio for a shoot with liza d. Comms were great and Shaun is a lovely guy. He arrived on time and everything could not have gone more smoothly. Looking forward to the next time.

Another wonderful shoot with Shaun, this was our 3rd shoot in as many months, and again a fun, relaxed shoot, Shaun is so relaxed and easy to get along with, he has a plan, but allows the shoot to take a natural course which certainly helps the flow and creativity blossom.

I will certainly be shooting with Shaun again this year and recommend him without doubt.

I worked with SParx on Saturday on a shoot we have been planning for months. SParx was courteous and friendly and quickly put me at ease during the shoot. Between shots we chatted about a number of topics and SParx was always interesting and knowledgeable which helped establish a great rapport between us. I was struck be his enthusiasm to challenge himself with new realms of photography and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Another great shoot with Shaun, this one went even better as we obviously know how each other works now

This shoot was an Erotic art shoot with a male model and Shaun was very proffesional in directing both of us as models, in what were sometimes intimate positions

I think Shaun and myself gained a lot from this shoot which we will be able to take into our next shoot which is already planned.

Without doubt i recommend Shaun.

I had an excellent shoot today with Shaun. We went to check out a location near Lincoln, and Shaun is a very friendly photographer. He has plenty of ideas and is very chatty, and made me feel at ease. I will be arranging another shoot with Shaun at my home soon so he can see all the props we were talking about today including the rocking horse! Many thanks again for a great shoot Shaun.

Working with Shaun was great. I totally loved it! He made me feel 100% relaxed throughout the photoshoot. He shared his ideas on where I should stand to bring that effect of the image. He has such a fun, patient's and enthusiastic character but at the same time he takes his work seriously. There were trust and we had such good connection between us which I believe all model and photographers should have. He never pressured me in anything I wasn't comfortable doing .

Shaun has done a brilliant job, looking back at the images I was amazed because while he was photoshooting me the weather was the downfall, it was so windy and raining but he still were determined to achieve great pictures which he had gone.

I Highly recommend Shaun.

I can't for another photoshoot with him but this time we have decided to be at the studio.

It was lovely to meet you. Thank You

I had my first shoot with Shaun at my home in West Yorkshire last week,

Shaun has excellent communication skills and I must say good patience! Shaun has been wanting to arrange shoot for the last 3 weeks but due to my place having a refurb my shoots were on hold. Once decorated Shaun booked the shoot!

Shaun has a professional approach to the shoot. He sent across a shoot plan and discussed what he wanted before the day.

We had a good 2 hour shoot and covered quite a few different sets which worked really well.

I have no hesitations in recommending Shaun to other models. He's a lovely guy with a great attitude,

Hope to work with you again in the future Shaun!

I had my first shoot with Shaun on the 12th November at Map studios in Loughborough. We'd spoke for a month or so and really got on, so wasn't nervous as I already felt I knew him. He was lovely enough to pick me up and stop me home and on top of the his daughter came along to keep an eye on my son as I wouldn't have been able to do the shoot otherwise.

The shoot went very smoothly. Shaun had a plan of how the shoot should go so following that made things much easier. I had decided to do some implied topless and nude shots(which I have never done before), Shaun made me feel very comfortable and didn't make me do anything I didn't want to. He had lots of great ideas and we got on so well that we will be definitely be shooting again in the near future. I highly recommend him😊

What can I say about sparx, an absolute gentleman, we would welcome him into the studio anytime without hesitation, prompt, polite, the list is endless, should you get chosen to be shot by this gentleman then you will not regret it, instead of waiting for him to contact him drop him a line and get yourself booked in
