I have wanted to work with Neil for ages now I absolutely love his work! And omg it was definitely worth the wait!

Pre coms were on point at all times! We both had the same ideas we wanted to shoot Neil also brought amazing crops too!

He is very professional and made me relaxed and happy during the whole shoot!

When he showed me the shots from behind the camera they were already incredible cannot wait to see the finished look!

I will definitely shoot again with Neil! 1000% recommended!!

If you have not done a shoot with Neil you bloody need too! 😍

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Neil has hired the studio on many occasions now, so felt I should have probably left him a reference by now.

He always comes well organised and his team well briefed, he knows his way around the camera and lighting very well which show in his standard of work. He also respects the studio and the equipment here.

Neil works with a huge range of different models and you can see they are all well organised and know exactly what Neil is after.

Highly recommended and a great guy!

Neil was tirelessly patient in organising a recent group shoot at Murder Mile Studios despite inconsistent communication between parties, last minute dropouts and some venue hiccups. He was welcoming and communicative towards the other two photographers, neither of whom he had met or worked with before, and they worked around one another nicely, setting up and taking down their lights as needed. Watching Neil from an outside point of view as he photographed others was lovely as he gently coaxed the character and motivation out of them that was required for the shot in his gentle and warm manner. It was Neil who proposed splitting the day into different levels to avoid anyone feeling pressured to work higher than they normally may have, which other models did comment on as a considerate move they would not have expected of a lot of photographers, and one which was appreciated and recognised.

Although we did not end up shooting very much together on this particular occasion due to the ratio of models to photographers present, this did not bother me as I know we will collaborate together creatively many times in the future. Not only is our partnership a meeting of minds but at this point a genuine friendship also.

Finally got round to a shoot with Neil and what a fab day it was. His comms and pre shoot prep were fantastic, I knew exactly what to bring and what awas expected of me and on the day, he was clear and concise with direction.

We were working toward a very specific shot but then had time to have a bit more of a play about after with some wardrobe he had supplied which was lovely.

A gret vibe throughout the shoot, I LOVE the unedited shots i've seen so far and it was a blooming pleasure, one that I hope we can repeat in the future :)

Me and Neil talked about doing a shoot together and collaborated with another photographer to do a gold shoot at inspire studios in Salisbury. Neil was great with precomms, organised and had a good vision for what he wanted from the shoot and that tied in nicely with everyone else's ideas.

On shoot Neil was friendly, easy to get along with and great with giving direction if it was a slight change of head position ect . Three things really stood out for me with Neil. 1. His eye for those empowering character shots. 2 his care for checking if I needed a break and if I was okay . And 3 he placed a mirror so I could see what I was doing which I really appreciated.

Seeing the back of camera I believe we got some knock out shots today and I'm really happy with the whole experience. I hope to work with Neil again in the new year and would highly recommend him .

Pre-shoot communications were friendly and productive. We had clear ideas about what we wanted to create as a result and so were able to work very effectively together to create scenes and stage shots. Neil was willing to travel quite a distance to get to the location I had sourced which I really appreciated. He is pleasant to talk to and spend time with and I look forward to shooting with him again.

This was my first time shooting with Neil and I couldn't recommend him enough! I'm already planning on doing another shoot with him.

No words are amazing enough to describe how fantastic you made me feel during the shoot.

Made me feel comfortable which gained my confidence throughout the shoot.

Thank you so much and I cannot wait to shoot with you again :)

Met Neil at a group shoot. He was thoroughly professional and friendly, worked well with everyone.

It’s been lovely to see his results.

Highly recommend shooting with him.

Neil and I had been talking for months about shooting, so I'm grateful I finally got the chance to. He's really easygoing and friendly. The fact that he's a fellow geek and comes up with a lot of themes that pique my interest also certainly doesn't hurt! Pre and post comms were excellent. During the shoot, he gave very helpful direction, yet was still willing to listen to my ideas. I already can't wait for the next time we can work together =)

Highly recommend!

Neil was so kind to bring me along to his photoshoot where I did the makeup on the model. He was very professional and brought along is photography equipment. We achieved many different images with the equipment he provided. It was very easy to get along with him and he made the images quickly accessible after the shoot for me. I would highly recommend him and I am looking forward to be working with him agin in the future.

Had a shoot with Neil last weekend and found him to be extremely polite and seemed to have many good ideas in his head. He got me a few lovely head shots which looked great on his camera. Can't wait to see the final edits!

I had a good shoot today with Neil, the location was excellent and he had plenty of ideas in mind and he definately knows a great deal about lighting and framing the shots he wanted to achieve. I am pleased with the shots we got today.Thanks again Neil.

A couple of weeks ago I was one of the models who attended a camera club group shoot tutorial which was organised by Neil, I am so happy that I was apart of this amazing event, Neil was so lovely to work with, made me feel very comfortable, and was a great photographer and teacher, I learnt so much on that evening, Many Thanks Neil, would love to work with you again :) .

What a lovely day!!! The weather was fantastic, location interesting and Neil on top of the things. I certainly can recommend working with this inspired human. I was happy to share my vision and listen to his, he tried to be very precise with directions, angles. It was my first smoke bomb experience and I think together we created some amazing photos. I was able to feel relaxed, appreciated as a model and we had common themes to talk about. Thank you so much!!!!

Had the pleasure of filling a last minute cancellation for Neil today, and I'm SO glad I did. Neil is fantastic to work with. From start to finish, I felt 100% comfortable and we got along really well. Neil was happy to direct me in poses to fit the lighting and to fit the overall look in mind, as well as collaborating with my ideas regarding a more 'pin-up' feel for some of the images. The later part of the shoot incorporate 'galaxy style' make-up which was really fun, and Neil's use of lighting and skill has produced some amazing work!

Neil really knows his stuff; photography-wise and ideas-wise, and the results I saw on camera were excellent! I'm really looking forward to seeing the final images. Overall, I would extremely recommend Neil to models experienced or otherwise. I felt like I left the shoot with a smile on my face, as well as having made a new friend. I'll definitely be working with him in the near future. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Neil yesterday. He came to my group shoot at Snowdrop Studio. Neil was very pleasant and easy going. He came with enthusiasm fully prepared for the shoot. He had many great ideas and knew what he was after directing me very well. It was great to shoot with him. I really enjoyed myself and hope to work with him again.

Had a great location shoot with Neil today, he scouted the place beforehand for us and had amazing posing ideas! The theme was dark fantasy and he took to it like a duck to water - absolutely lovely guy too!
