WOW my 23rd shoot with Andy was a AWESOME shoot in a local prison with another model.

Andy was just as professional as he is on all our shoots, he had a million good ideas that not only complimented myself, the other model and the location. The way Andy set the lighting up perfectly helped us create the awesome shots that we have captured together.

The journey to the location with Andy was full of creative conversations regarding what parts of the location we wanted to use with what certain outfits.

What more can I say to express how wonderful and a pleasure Andy is to work with on a regular basis.

Can't wait for our next shoots.

Andy and I finally arranged our 2 year-in-the-planning shoot and it was a blast. His pre shoot comms are fantastic, very informative and helpful meaning we can crack straight on on the day!

Andy gives directions well, really knowing the shots he wants to capture and all I can say is he clearly has a great eye for detail. He picks up on the little things others would simply skip over.

We came equipped with a brief shoot plan that we then brought to life during our shoot and each shot was a winner - the back of the camera images looked ace!

Andy is a perfect gentleman who has such a professional and laid back attitude that its really quite easy to dive right in to the shoot.

I'd highly recommend him and hope to work with him in the future!

I worked with Andy for the first time last week...and it was amazing!

We both communicated lots before the shoot to share our ideas. I turned up on time and Andy arrived on time too.

Andy made me feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout shoot and was very confidence boosting.

We got some incredible shots and I’m looking forward to our next shoot.

Would highly recommend Andy to any model; new or experienced!

Where do I start with our Andy.

He comes equipped with sweets, chocolate and the most horrific uncle humour possible.

He’s understanding of my complete inability to navigate

He encouraged me to have a good wiggle and dance ever seventh shot, like the tides.

He is both photographer, part councillor and wanna be comedian with a bit of a love for a great hat and boots.

So would I recommend him? ABSOLUTELY. A true gent and happens to produce some cracking images too

See you soon Andy!

Andy recently booked two days here at the studio. Andy's pre comms were great he arrived early and was clearly prepared for his shoot, with a clear plan on what he wanted to shoot.

He has a very creative mind , that he easily transfers into the camera, getting the shot.

His portfolio speaks for its self.

I look forward to seeing Andy here again at the studio.

After what seems forever we finally got to shoot at the HB Mansion in Surrey last month. The UK is small but seemingly impossible to organise a shoot, life is busy! But alas we have shot and it was brilliant to finally meet Andy in person, he was great to work with ans I’m sure we will be shooting again in no time at all as the shoot was short and sweet a 2 hour slot, waiting on Andy getting back to me no doubt to shoot again soon!

We got some great shots and it was very enjoyable experience he came fully prepared even came hating gifts in the form of chocolate which always goes down well with me! ☺️

Andy came to HB Mansion for a model day we held with Miss Kimberley. He had great comms and was an absolute pleasure to host - friendly, sense of humour and put Kim instantly at ease. Really looking forward to seeing him again and can heartily recommend!

Another awesome shoot with Andy on Friday. This shoot was cut short sadly because of the unexpected heavy rain however when the rain wasn't a issue Andy had found the most beautiful location for a summery themed location to match my new vintage dress's and lingerie.

Andy was very patient with me regarding my dreading heyfeaver as we was in the middle of a massive filed of flowers, He is not only good company to both have around and work with but is also a professional outstanding photographer to work with.

Andy is a blast to work with and I can't wait to see what other ideas he comes up with next.

100% recommend :)

I had my first shoot with Andy last week and it was great! This was my first time being in a studio and I was very nervous but he made me feel settle and at easy. He also gave me great guidance!

He knows his setup really well and was well prepared to shoot! I really enjoyed working with Andy and I hope to do so again in the future!

Completely forgot to add a reference for the last shoot so this is a 2 in 1!!

Iv done 2 shoots with Andy recently one was a outdoor location shoot. Andy discovered some old tea tracks with were perfect! If your not sure where you want to shoot leave it to him honestly he will find somewhere amazing!!

The second shoot was a studio shoot which we done a mixture of fashion to implied. Andy was really respectful! If I needed to adjust he turned around without even being asked! Didn’t make me feel awkward at all and we got some amazing images!!!

I had another great shoot with Andy on Thursday and it was as professional and great a the rest of our shoots have been.

I bet you all are sick of seeing my name out up on Andy's references however Andy really is a great photographer that I am soo pleasured and honored to get the chance to work with on a regularly basis.

Thursday's shoot was based around some natural portraits in the studio, Where Andy had created a mood board of ideas he had in mind for the portraits. After a little bit of preparing the lighting perfectly we started shooting some stunning portraits , Not only was Andy professional and comfortable to be around he stuck within covid guidelines.

After we had shot the portraits we went forward to shooting some tasteful Lingerie and Implied nude, Not only was Andy professional and respectful he made sure I was comfortable and happy which was extremely comfortable.

Andy is always full of great shoot ideas.

I highly recommend.

Thank you again x

Andy is always a delight to work with, I sometimes get speechless over the amazing ideas and locations he plans for our shoots as they are always different and catered to each model. Not only is it a blessing to work with him and create some beautiful work together he also is a blessing to have as a friend outside of the industry.

To start of this extremely positive reference I have to give Andy a lot of thanks and appreciation for the advice, help and support he gives me regarding my photography it's highly appreciated.

During this shoot Andy had access to a beautiful private location that was secure and safe to use. our main location of the shoot was a lovely hot tub that we did a late Easter and a few vintage bikini sets within, Not only did we create some stunning images we also tested our skills at video work also. By the end of the shoot I really didn't want to leave the location as it was just too cozy and comfortable to be within.

Andy was on time and was prepared with loads of goodies to use during the shoot and even with loads of ideas for us to shoot. He is always professional during our shoots and makes sure myself and other models are happy and comfortable throughout the shoot. Andy is a professional photographer that i always am excited to plan the next shoot with.

I highly recommend Andy and I can't wait to shoot with him in a few days

Thank you again for a great shoot. x

Had my first shoot with Andy today.

Pre comms were great, I knew in advance what he was looking for from the shoot and what clothes to prepare.

Andy is a friendly, funny guy, easy to get along with and very considerate and thoughtful. We had lots of fun trying out different shots and he gives good direction as well as allowing freedom to express and explore poses. The shots I saw during our time looked really great and gave me inspiration and motivation.

Would definitely recommend to any model.

My third shoot with Andy and a pleasure as always!

He showed up with snacks and even Easter eggs for the kids, which I can confirm they appreciated very much!

Andy set me a theme of ‘Evermore’ which I think we both achieved! It was a great shoot!

Andy is the easiest person to get along with, fantastic company and takes a mean picture to boot. His portraits are consistently some of my favourites ever!

Thanks so much Andy look forward to our next adventure!

I had another lovely portrait shoot with Andy today, we went for a vintage vibe and used many different locations throughout Exeter.

Not only did we have another great shoot, Andy also taught me a few new things for my photography which was very generous of him to do.

Andy arrived on time, was professional and friendly, easy to talk to as always while also sticking to covid guidelines throughout the shoot.

Was a pleasure working with Andy again and I 100% recommend him.

Excited for our next few shoots :) Samantha x

A lovely shoot with Andy on location with the easing of restrictions surrounding recreation

We had a fantastic two hours! Working with Andy is great, he has a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve but a super relaxed way of shooting where time just flies.

Look forward to the next shoot!

Tess Lathey

Andy comes with my absolute highest recommendation.

Pre comma were fantastic, I felt confident arriving for our shoot and we’ll prepared to achieve the style Andy and I had discussed.

He arrived on time and with lots of enthusiasm. And what a character he is. Truely time flew Andy is great company, proffessional, engaging, funny, although his uncle jokes are worse than dad jokes I spent most of the shoot in stitches. In addition to his great company he happe a to take fantastic photos also! I love what I have seen so far and some and my favourite portraits I’ve had taken. I’m looking forward to shooting with Andy again and would recommend him to all

Thanks Andy!

I shot again with Andy a few days ago and this time it was a autumn fashion shoot in a beautiful forest not far from me.

Andy was as friendly and professional as he always is during our shots. The shoot was short but we managed to get a big handful of images to choose from.

Andy even surprised me with some gorgeous headshots that has now made me like headshots more. Andy stuck within the covid restrictions and was a bundle of joy to work with , we even planned a few future shoots during this shoot.

Thank you again for the shoot and I'll see you soon for another shoot x

It is always a pleasure shooting with Andy and I am glad I get the chance to create some awesome work with him on multiple shoots.

We shot my Tifa cosplay from Final Fantasy 7 ready in time for Halloween, Andy found one of the best locations that had a abounded vibe and look to It.

He knew what images both myself and himself wanted to create for our portfolios, he was professional, friendly and easy to talk to like every other shoot. He made sure to stick to the social distancing guidelines within the shoot as well as making sure we still had a blast of a shoot. It definitely was another fun shoot, we even scheduled in a couple of shoots during this shoot.

I'm happy with the results from this shoot and I will definitely be booking more shoots in with Andy soon when it's safe too.

Thank you again, Samantha x

Such a great group of people from Andy himself to the rest of the members of Honiton Camera Club. It was absolutely amazing to work with such an array of brilliant photographers bringing their own skills to the table and experimenting around with new ideas!

From start to finish they all were excellent to work with and im looking forward to seeing the range of skills on the images of all the photographers that came.

The studio was amazingly set up, all professional from spot metering to the lighting set up and privacy screen for changing.

I cannot credit them enough for everything they've done this afternoon.

They really are an absolutely friendly, professional, lovely and keen bunch of photographers and feel honoured to have worked with them!

Well done everyone at Honiton Camera Club! Top marks all round!

100% recommend!
