Ahh we loved this chap!!

It was such a pleasure to have Sean attend our last event 'Game of Thrones vs Vikings'. Sean is such an easy character to get on with and worked so well with everyone else who attended that day.

We were super impressed with Seans knowledge of the theme and was rather fond of his approach to directing models, working with the natural light (although sometimes against us) working with his own flash, angles and trying out different things. A true great example of why we love what we do. It's people like Sean who make it, by throwing themselves in, experimenting and enjoying the experience (well we can only hope haha)

Thank you Sean, we are really looking forward to seeing what you have produced and we hope to see you again soon!

Highly recommend!

Many thanks,

Met Shaun for the first time yesterday alongside two other models as part of our Urbex Workshop! And what a total pleasure it was from start to finish!

Shaun arrived on time and ready, well equipped for the day ahead and even though we were busted in our first location once he had figured I had a back up (joys of urbex) he was super pleased and did not mind the extra drive to get there.

Once we arrived I could see that Shaun liked the Location and got straight to snapping it and setting up.

Shaun is creative with his ideas and even had a little red light that worked amazingly for some spooky/horror type shots! He uses his creativity greatly and made great use of the location in order to capture some unique shots.

Shaun bonded well with all the other photographers and was super chatty, courteous, friendly and professional.

It was a total pleasure to have you on board Shaun and I very much look forward to working with you again :)

Shaun joined myself @JadeStacyMaria and @KatieC on an event today. We were shooting urbex and had the day planned out at a fantastic location we have used before. Unfortunately we had a run in with Secca and were politely asked to vacate the premises 8D

:')

It could have been a disaster right there and then but Jade came to the rescue with an alternate location she had frequented that she knew was accessible and had no issue with security. Shaun was thankfully up for this even though it meant a fair drive and the shoot running for a couple of hours longer than originally planned.

The new location was perfect but sadly very much open to the outdoors although it did have a roof! But, it was very much at the weathers disposal which incidentally left a lot to be desired - it was cold bloody cold!!

I had arrived as prepared as I could be, armed with thermal blankets, hand warmers and dressing gowns but it proved too much for me and I had to have a couple of breaks to thaw out. Shaun was a diamond and had no issue with this.

From start to finish, Shaun was a delight to work with, communication was spot on, he was helpful, a great team player, easy to chat to, fun to work with, had some good ideas for shots and just generally an all round lovely guy! I would whole heartedly recommend him and sincerely hope I get the chance again.

Thank you Shaun :)

Great shoot with Shaun, pre-shoot communications were spot-on and the studio was lovely! Shaun had a great creative vision for the shoot and provided some amazing outfits, as well as putting those I brought in a great context. I think we created some great images, and Shaun was friendly, relaxed and professional throughout - very much recommended!

I worked with Shaun on a group shoot recently at The Loft in Colchester.

I was highly impressed with Shaun's communication before the shoot, he seemed very polite and friendly through email, so I couldn't wait to work with him and his group!

His personality definitely shone through, he was very helpful and friendly right from the start, he even helped me park my car in the smallest of spaces!

Shaun had an excellent concept and idea, he brought props along and even a backdrop. Shaun was also open to ideas and didn't mind me putting my own spin on things and we ended getting some outstanding images together.

Throughout the shoot Shaun was helping everybody with there ideas and making sure everyone had a hand when needed.

I would highly recommend Shaun to anybody and I hope to work with him again.

I was book by Shaun and his group for a studio morning at the Loft studios.

During communications Shaun was very clear in what he wanted from me and what he wanted me to bring along to the shoot.

He was happy to help any body in the room. He was professional through out and just a pleasure to work with.

What I liked most about the group is that they all encouraged each other, bringing a very high level of motivation in the studio. Laughter was loud and smiles were genuine.

On arrival I was greeted but a number of smiling faces all with their bags ready to get to work.

Every member of the group had a professional standard and gave me direction very well. They each had their own ideas and styles which kept me very busy (which I think is great as no one like to be board at work).

I hope to be booked by the group in the future and by each of them as individual photographers.

Highly recommend and a lot of fun!
