Neil responded to my casting a few weeks ago and we arranged a TFP shoot at his home studio.

Comms were good pre- and post-shoot, I felt safe and comfortable throughout and Neil was friendly, professional and efficient to work with, with final edits also being delivered in a timely manner.

Thanks for a great shoot! :)

An amazing first shoot with Neil!☺️ He is so welcoming when you arrive, had a sit down and a talk just before starting the shoot, he is such a lovely man to meet! Captured some amazing shots! Can’t wait to see the photos. Would 100% recommend ☺️

Neil contacted to shoot some super fun ideas he had been working on. We managed to arranged this short notice and it was a great shoot. Neil was super organised with his ideas and references and I enjoyed the creativity he brought. He was professional throughout and made mr feel really comfortable and at ease. Would recommend and looking forward to seeing the ideas come to life! ☺️

Neil is a super kind and polite guy who gently guided me towards poses that showed off my physical attributes through a way that made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot. He has a good eye for predicting how different colours and compositions would best suit each mood that we wanted to portray and has a deliberate, yet relaxed approach to suggesting ideas despite adverse weather. Can't wait to shoot with him again to expand on these ideas and he's really nice to talk to as well.

Neil reached out to me following a fitness casting call I put out, however I had already arranged a shoot by then. I then decided to arrange a different shoot with Neil for another concept, and I’m glad that I did! Neil came to my location and did a great job. He really went above and beyond to capture the images that I wanted and I can’t wait to see the end results. Neil was lovely to work with, warm and friendly and I would definitely recommend him. Thank you for bringing my concept to life, I look forward to working with you again. Talisa 😊

Shooting at your home while travelling in the area. It was a joy to meet and work for you. Communication while arranging the shoot was clear, precise and to the point.....which is something I respond very well to. When I arrived I was met with a huge smile and got straight to the important part.....a cup of tea HAHA!

You were funny, friendly, chatty, creative, gave lots of feedback on the shoot, while staying completely professional at all times.

I would work with you again without hesitation and I don't have a negative thing to say!

Recommended to all :D xX

Would definitely recommend working with you. And hope it be back when weather is better for some more outdoors stuff. Thank you

Neil was great very professional and makes a great cup of coffee. He had treats as well as in donoughts although I was watching my figure lol. He has a great way of making you feel really comfortable. The shoot felt very natural and would love to shoot with him again. The pics came on time and looked fabulous.

Yesterday I shot with star fruit as he replied to a casting of mine, communication was amazing leading up to the shoot, we set out a structured plan for the shoot but as the weather wasn’t on our side we altered a few ideas which still worked, I felt very comfortable shooting with Neil, he was able to direct me well and give tips, such a lovely photographer to collab with.

I would definitely work with him again!

In Starfruit's profile we can read: " If you're looking for money, social media attention, credibility or FPIs you've got the wrong person''.

Let's say that, I knew he is right up my street at this point.

I believe, that real art is the result of creative magic between the model and the photographer. What he can see behind his camera, it's not only a person and a background, but most importantly, what his imagination creates. Starfruit can see his model in the artistic window and he lets her flowing. He is open to suggestions, experimenting and he is focused on taking beautiful, interesting pictures. He is an intelligent, well mannered man with the ability to create sensual art.

The results from our shoot are absolutely amazing. It was a refreshing experience which left, the smile on my face for long.

Thank you for everything.

Highest recommendations.

I had a shoot with Neil a couple of weeks ago at his place.

Neil was lovely to get on with in person, easy-going and professional. Communication was fantastic and helpful. Really appreciate all the suggestions and directions he gave me.

When I arrived at his place we took a little bit of time before starting the shoot to talk and expressing ideas.

During the shoot he was explaining step by step what he was doing and I found really interesting. I am very happy with the edited images, they are lovely and appreciate the effort of Neil to send them in time. He is a guy of his words!

I definitely raccomand Neil and I will be very happy to shoot again with him in future.

Thank you so much :)

I have worked with Neil twice and they have been the most comfortable and best shoots I have done till date! The shoots I have done with Neil have helped my portfolio expand and has also grown my following on my social media! I would highly recommend Neil if you’re wanting a very positive and comfortable photography experience! He goes out of his way to ensure you are happy and is very very professional! It’s always a pleasure working with him!

Shooting with Neil was great, He was very patient and thorough which helped with the direction of the shoot as we both had a clear understanding of what we were expecting.

He was very nice and made me feel comfortable particularly with the nature of the shoot, remaining professional throughout and we got some really amazing shots.

Worked with Neil on a Sunday afternoon as a last shoot in his previous home studio.

Neil was very welcoming and very patient. He is amazing at pre, during and post shoot communication - we knew what we wanted to achieve when I showed up but Neil still allowed a fair share of creativity and playing with outfits and shapes.

I recommend any model to work with Neil

I had a truly wonderful shoot with Neil 2 weeks ago. Neil replied to a casting of mine and from the start, the comma were amazing and the plan was laid out really well. He is very easy to work with and has a fine eye for detail. It was a pleasure to work with Neil, especially as we share the same taste in music! I received the edited photos well within the timeframe and I am so happy with them. I even got a little sneak preview of some of the edited ones half way through as I left my guitar at his home studio ☺️ I would recommend shooting with Neil 100% and I really hope to work with him again 😊

Yesterday I had a shoot with Starfruit at short notice, however, the communication was great that even at such short notice we were able to know what we would he doing and how to go about it.

It was new for both of us, but I felt very comfortable working with Starfruit and I felt the shoot went well. Neil is very knowledgeable and still hoping to learn more which is great.

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I would definitely recommend Starfruit- professional, reliable and very easy to work with. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience shooting with Starfruit,

He was very welcoming, easy-going and professional, he had clear goals and guidelines and was able to direct me and give helpful advice regarding my posing and angles etc. he also offered delicious refreshments :))

His home studio is a relaxing environment for shooting and the area nearby outside also has some great shooting locations, he also edits and send the pictures in very little time so I didn’t have to wait long. I am further grateful that he introduced me to purpleport!

Overall it was a successful shoot and the pictures came out great! I would definitely work with him again

Crystal Strife

Amazing shoot! This was the first shoot I have done from Purpleport so I was a bit nervous but Neil made me feel comfortable and helped me get the shots that we wanted, as this was the second shoot I have ever done I needed guidance with how to pose, and he gave that help in such a respectful way and I was so happy with the out come of the pictures!

There was great communication leading up to the shoot, Neil helped with directions aswell as there was so complications getting there but we both showed up on time and as I said made me feel comfortable which made me strive for better quality shots. I would like the work with Neil again :)
