Having met Graham previously at the X Factory I was thrilled when him and David Lowe asked to shoot with me at Basford Hurst Cottage! Grahams work speaks for itself so I was super excited to see what we could create!!

Graham messaged me before the shoot to discuss some potential ideas and everything was easily and swiftly organised. He arrived on time with David and after a quick chat and look around we began shooting.

Graham brought lots of amazing ideas to the shoot and allowed me to pose freely but also provided direction as required - We shot through a range of sets and he was always incredibly respectful of me and my location. The back of the camera looked amazing and needless to say I am really looking forward to seeing the edits!!

I would highly reccomend working with Graham, he is a good laugh, easy to talk to and a wonderful photographer!! Thanks Graham!!

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Graham came to Basford Hurst Cottage to work alongside David Lowe with studio owner Miss C. It was a pleasure to welcome Graham to Basford. All pre comms were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot.

Graham worked well with Miss C throughout the shoot and had many great ideas which he brought to life!! Whilst here Graham was completely respectful of our location and made sure to ask if he ever needed anything.

We would highly reccomend Graham and look forward to seeing him again soon!! Thank you Graham!!

I shot with Graham as part of an organised studio day. On arrival Graham (and the three Dave’s) made sure I was well looked after, given any breaks I wanted, came up with creative shots and we just had a great time. I would highly recommend Graham to any models and would love to shoot with him again in the future. Thanks for a fab day! Corinne x

Another fantastic shoot with Graham, this time at the mannequin factory in Grantham - what an amazing location! I'm so pleased that Graham invited me to the shoot, although it was quite a long journey it was well worth it!

As usual Graham was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is always full of ideas, constantly on the hunt for unique photo opportunities and I love how his ideas are so eye-catching. There is never a dull moment when working with Graham.

I really love the look of the images on BOC, certainly very different from anything I've ever done before. I'm excited to see the final results.

I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to shoot at this amazing location! Thanks so much Graham, I look forward to the next shoot...where will it take us I wonder!? :)

Another amazing shoot with Graham, this time at the transport museum in Walsall.

It's always an absolute joy working with Graham, he is a great guy - really pleasant to be around, thoughtful, funny, and he seems to have endless ideas for photoshoots. He also has a very impressive wardrobe which I'm rather envious of!

Graham and I did a few sets at the museum and I'm really pleased with the images I saw on BOC...Graham is especially good at storytelling in his images.

Graham was kind, accommodating and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him again. I highly recommend him to other models.

Thank you so much Graham, until next time!

A great shoot with Graham last Thursday at the Transport Museum. Graham was friendly from the off set and enthusiastic. Graham had some ideas for our hourly slot at the group shoot, and I liked his out of the box thinking. We shot a more femme fatale / attitude look at the top of one of the buses and I loved the back of camera images I saw. The hour together flowed really well and I would definitely be keen to shoot with Graham in the future. I would absolutely recommend him to others. Thanks for your time Graham :) x

I met and worked with Graham for the first time a couple of days ago at a group shoot held at Aldridge Transport Museum, and it was an absolute pleasure.

Graham was lovely enough to agree to drive me to the location, as it was difficult for me to get to, and I am so grateful for his kindness. It allowed me to attend the shoot, and also get to know Graham a little bit over the hour or so of driving.

Graham is wonderful company; really easy to talk to and funny. He is obviously very passionate about photography, with a keen emphasis on having fun on shoots, and making memories as well as capturing images. This is a philosophy I hold to, and so we worked really well together when we had our hour’s one-to-one. His enthusiasm is infectious, and our shoot time just flew by.

I’d recommend Graham to other models without hesitation, and I hope to work with him again in the future. Thanks so much Graham 😊

Graham booked a slot on my model day at Smethwick last week and what a fun shoot that was.

Graham was so friendly and chatty which is always good on a shoot.

We created some fun and unique stuff and I’m very much looking forward to seeing some of the images.

Highly recommended by me!

Thanks for booking

Had another brilliant shoot with Graham at Gloucester prison; this time with David Lowe and the lovely Carla Monaco.

Graham had lots of fab ideas as usual and he was his usual enthusiastic and passionate self. We shot some singular sets as well as some duo work with Carla.

Graham was very kind and accommodating as always, offering lots of breaks and making sure we were comfortable. He was particularly understanding since I had been a little unwell the night before so I was not feeling 100%, but Graham is brilliant at putting you at ease and I quickly got into the shoot. I always feel very well taken care of in Graham's company, and I am very grateful for that.

I would be delighted to work with Graham again, and I look forward to our next shoot.

I had another fantastic shoot with Graham last weekend back at Gloucester Prison - this time it was extremely cold and somewhat tricky conditions, but we powered through it and still managed to get really creative and have a lot of fun around the prison.

Graham was full of ideas for the shoot and brought with him some outfits and bits we could shoot with. He was really kind and respectful in terms of me having breaks and warming up etc - it was essential in the extreme cold!

I particularly enjoyed modelling in the beautiful wedding dress that Graham brought along, and I think we got some really emotive and dramatic shots during our time at the prison. I really love Graham's style of photography and he is a real joy to work with as well. He has a lot of positive energy as well as a great sense of humour which makes shooting with him a lot of fun.

I would highly recommend Graham to any other models! He is fantastic and has such a keen eye for photography.

Thanks for another great shoot Graham; until next time :)

Had a fantastic shoot with Graham and David at Gloucester Prison last weekend.

I loved Graham's enthusiasm during the shoot. He had so many ideas and it was a lot of fun exploring the prison and making Graham's ideas come to life. Graham was kind, considerate and very respectful throughout the shoot. I felt completely at ease and it was fab to work with somebody who matches my passion for creating art.

Graham was even completely understanding when I accidentally broke the leg to a porcelain doll that we were using as a prop - apologies again for that Graham! I hope you can superglue her leg back on!

I had such a delightful session with Graham and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. Thanks Graham :)

Fab day shoot with Graham, David, Roger and Judith recently!

We all shot for the day and did a great mixture of ideas, themes and genres- also some duo's with Carla Monaco!

An unbelievable lunch was also served! Pasta, pork pies, CAKE!! It was a real treat! Thank you.

Thanks for a fun day- looking forward to re-arranging our next shoot! :)

This was my second time shoot with Graham, and it was just as exciting as the first. Again we arranged our shoot through Smethwick PS but this time shot in their studio unlike the first where we were on location. Graham is such a pleasure to work with and I’ll forever love his ideas and the final outcomes. Can’t wait to see these shots and work with him again in the near future!

I had the pleasure of working with Graham as part of a group shoot on Friday and had a fab time doing so. We all shot on location at Guy’s Cliffe and had beautiful weather for it. Graham is a fantastic photographer and so easy to work with! I definitely look forward to working with him again in the near future!

I had the pleasure of working with Graham at a group event hosted by the Smethwick Photographic society recently.

Graham was polite, friendly and a good laugh throughout. We tried out a nice variety of sets through the day and our time just flew by.

Thank you for a lovely day and I hope we get the chance to shoot together again!

Recommended for sure :)

I worked with Graham on an Androgynous event hosted by Sally Sparrow on the 9th March at a great location.

Although you don't have a lot of time with each photographer I really enjoyed working with each and every one of them as they were all lovely and wanted something different!

Graham worked alongside Dave- the two of them together are very funny to work with. Enthusiastic, silly noises, good banter! Thank you for booking on- hope to shoot again soon :)

I worked with Graham yesterday at a workshop he was attending. I found him to be very professional and friendly which put me at ease and made it a pleasure to shoot with him. I would love the opportunity to shoot with him again in the future and recommend him to all models.
