Yet another fantastic shoot with John!

I don't know how else to describe John other than absolutely amazing! He's not only an amazing photographer but he never fails to provide a happy and comfortable atmosphere right from the moment a shoot begins till we're wrapping up at the end. We worked through floods of people, the biting breeze, and a bit of rain, and not one thing phases John. He gives out ideas and direction to help achieve some top-class shots.

John has become quite a good friend of mine and we have so many ideas in the brainstorm bank it's going to take us years to achieve them! Till the next one John! x

Finally got to shoot with John again after a few months of lockdown. We kept in contact throughout lockdown and brainstormed many ideas together.

I can never recommend John highly enough. Shoots with him are always amazing; top class images, friendly and professional photographer. We met at the agreed location and were off to location number one. John gave good direction to help us achieve the shots we wanted.

Unfortunately due to the Welsh weather we had a cut the shoot shorter then anticipated - however we didn't let the rest of the day go to waste. We went location hunting for different locations for our next shoot together!

Thanks for a great day and a good laugh! See you again very soon!

As per usual, our shoot was fantastic!

The wait for this shoot was a long one due to lockdown, so discussions for location, ideas and themes were numerous!

John was lovely with my dog who proved himself to be a worthy model 😁

The shoot was comfortable and went by so fast, thanks to John's fabulous company.

Always up for a laugh and new ideas, John is brilliant!

I can hardly wait for the shots back, I know they are going to be great.

Thank you!!

As per usual, we had an awesome shoot I. Where we finally were able to meet and shoot some varied styles.

We stayed in touch- even when I went through a rough patch and kept brainstorming. Even during the shoot, John and I were brainstorming our next! We were so keen to shoot again as every time promises amazing shots, a laugh with a friend and a brilliant day.

Not only do John and I have a brilliant work friendship, we have W friendship outside which makes shooting even better.

We got a little lost at first and ended up having an awesome drive! But soon found a lovely

Location and made the most of our time- we grabbed some awesome shots and had such a laugh at how clumsy one and other were.

Cannot wait for Friday and Saturday! It’ll be an amazing experience with two brilliant friends. We have so many ideas and I can’t wait to create them.

See you soon!

Highly recommend John. So professional with the promise of AMAZING results!

Had an awesome day shooting with John yesterday. After a fairly bad week, it was just the road trip I needed, to Anglesey. He is always professional and makes me feel comfortable, even working up at nude level. Can't wait for more shoots together in the future. Thank you

Worked with John now a good handful of times now, and he is absolutely brilliant, always spot on times, a good laugh/smile and works very professionally. Did some art nude/Xmas, and latex yesterday and it went really well.

Look forward to future shots.

Thanks, Rose

Had yet again a wonderful shoot with John today. Haven't shot together for a while due to Lockdown, but I'm so pleased to back in the swing of things and get creative ideas going. Brilliant location in Minera, Wales whereby we did some art nude and a Waterfall close by, where I wore my red/sequin dress. John is always professional, lovely to work with and a good laugh.

Looking forward to next time!

Highly recommended :)

Always a pleasure working with John. Unfortunately duo didn't go to plan, as model cancelled but we still got some suberb shoots as always.

White outfit against a green mossy backdrop, and some windy burlesque moves.

Cheers, Rose

I did my very first remote shoot with John, he was on time with the TeamViewer app, and the communication via WhatsApp was great.

From what I could see on my laptop screen, John was using my canon camera like the pro he is.

Thank you so much John and definitely happy to do it again!

Another awesome shoot, our fourth one now!

It was brilliant, every moment- with bits and bops going wrong this morning , for me! John was supportive and ever so helpful as always towards me.

I can’t thank him enough for another splendid shoot that we had, arrived on time and ready with his jolly smile!

I’m very fond of John, his work is excellent, brilliant attitude and great over all with a wonderful personality to lighten the shoot!

He is very professional and pastures the power of your photograph ever so mesmerisingly. I can’t wait for our next shoot as always!

Not only a brilliant shoot but another awesome memory with a fantastic friend!

See you soon dear!

I met John quite unexpectedly at a shoot when he turned up with the organiser of the afternoon's activities.

What a wonderful and friendly man he is. Very experienced and built a rapport with the two new models I had been shooting with instantly and got the best out of them. He went about his work in a professional yet relaxed way, frequently showing the models shots on the back of the camera so that they could see how the shoot was progressing.

We worked well together, each of us working with the 3 models in turn and not getting in each other's way despite the limited space that we had to work in. All too soon, though, it was time to pack up and head our separate ways.

I thoroughly enjoyed John's company and I hope that it's not long before we work together again.

To all reliable models out there: book a shoot with John as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed !

Shooting with John is professional and friendly.

I believe if the model is comfortable with the photographer, then the it shows in the shots.

We had a fantastic shoot and it was full to the brim with laughs and fun!

To get natural shots of me laughing is quite an achievement, which John made easy.

John was already there when we arrived at the location and was happy to meet my partner, my dog and Tash, the other model we picked up on our way. John worked with us both well, and made sure we were fine working in the cold temperatures.

We achieved alot in the time we had and I'm very glad this pulled off well!

Thanks John, can't wait for the shots and to shoot again!

Last minute shoot with John as he was in the local area and how could I say no?!

This was my second photoshoot with John within 15 days and once again I was not disappointed. John brings a relaxed and friendly atmosphere whilst also remaining professional throughout the shoot.

John arrived early to the agreed location and we were off! John gave good direction and pleasant feedback that helped us achieve some amazing images together!

Till the next time John! Oh and 'quack'

DUO SHOOT

this is my second shoot with this lovely friend.

We worked ever so well and pulled off so many wonderful images well working in a cold temperature.

He caught some fantastic photographs of bambi and I, this was one the best shoots I’ve had.

Every moment was another capture and a moment of utter fun. He is a genuine thrill to be around and ever so extremely professional in each manner.

John, is one of the kindest and reliable photographers you can work with.

When you arrange a shoot- he is ready. He shows on time, with a big smile and his camera at the ready. John offers you a comfortable atmosphere with many laughs in link! However the images “raw” are fantastic- even after he has sorted them! The end images are merely breath taking...

You’ll never be disappointed with John!

Third shoot...

So this is my third shoot with John in less than two weeks. We had some spare hours before his 2:30 shoot and grabbed some amazing images in Llanidloes.

John abs his wonderful spouse have became two of my closest friends, as our communication outside and inside photography are appropriate, kind and pleasant.

Every moment I plan with John- is another moment I know i will not be disappointed on.

He respects the levels you shoot, he encourages you to be yourself and offers his big heart to help you anyway he can.

I’m very excited for our studio day, along with our new project which is in the planning. There is so much more for us to create and I cannot wait for our fourth shoot!

Thank you John and ‘Barbie’ is added on the albums 😉

It was amazing, from the “brum brum” to hot chocolate over us! Every moment was full of joy, laughter and genuine fun!

The shoot was professional when shots were being discussed and taken but on the other side of the lense it was like speaking with a friend and feeling very comfortable in the time I had with him and his wonderful wife Sian.

We have already discussed another two shoots and I cannot wait to clamber back into the seat with him and Sian and go create even more magnificent and wonderful images with various styles.

I couldn’t recommend this lovely gentleman enough.

The photos we took are stylish, expressing and full of emotion. I couldn’t be happier with them! He has many wonderful ideas with pleasantry feed back which is extremely helpful in this!

Thank you John! You’re a great laugh and lovely gentleman. I’m very appreciative for your time!

And to have met Sian! Made a new friend out of you both!

Wow, where do I begin?! The only word I can use to sum up John is amazing!

My chaperone and I arrived at the agreed meeting location slightly early and John and his wife Sian were already there. From the moment John stepped out the car I knew the shoot was going to be great.

John immediately started chatting and made me feel comfortable right from the off. Our photos are something different from my usual and John made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole duration of the shoot.

John gave amazing direction and feedback - which is always appreciated and helpful to get the best images for both of us.

I cannot recommend John highly enough! Thank you so much for a fab shoot John! I cannot wait to be working with you again soon!
