Oh wow I had an amazing shoot with Christian today . I wanted to try a few ideas and Christian was too happy to help . We make a good team and not many can say that you instantly gel with the photographer. This is because he is a superb photographer who knows his lighting and angles , a real expert . Don't miss the chance to work with this lovely man as you'll miss out as he is excellent with direction and puts you at ease straight away .

Studio is a fab place to hire to and I for one would use this faculty

Big thank you

Love rosa X x

I did a wonderful shoot with Christian on Saturday, this was my first shoot via Purple Port and Christian was fantastic and very proffesional.

I felt at ease straight away, his studio was comfortable, classy and had various props, backdrops and cool chairs! ( he also had tea and biscuits)

After a couple of test shoots Christian was able to get my style and capture different moods and looks. I could tell he was passionte and knew exactly what worked and what didn't. He matched different backdrops to the colour of my dresses and advised various poses and angels to try.

Overall it was a great day, i learned some new things and i would highly recommend him to anyone!

Thank you Christian for being so welcoming and enthusiastic! I can't wait to see the end result!

My shoot with Christian was fantastic! He is a fabulous photographer with great ideas. Very welcoming and easy to talk to,Christian made me feel relaxed throughout our shoot. He was kind enough to pick me and my boyfriend up from the train station and also drop us back. I can't recommend Christian enough, His attitude towards his work is great. You're definitely missing out if you haven't worked with Christian yet!

I hope to work with Christian again in the near future.

I can't wait to see the finished results from our shoot, thanks Christian! :D

I had the pleasure of shooting with Christian at his studio in Warrington on Sunday and I'm really glad I did. Christian is great to get on with, such a professional and friendly attitude and outlook, I felt like I had known him for years.

We got some great images, the shoot was efficient, working through different styles but very relaxed at the same time.

Had to get back in time for my dad so he even gave me a lift back home.

Can't wait for next time. Thank you so much Christian, your a star.

Highly recommended by me with 5 stars *****

Until next time.

Spent a terrific day at Sunflower Photography studio. As a newbie working with models in studios, Christian freely provided useful suggestions and advice, sharing his knowledge and experience. His enthusiasm for his art really is contagious. I would recommend this Studio to both models and novice photographers alike. Christian is so welcoming and easy going.

Many thanks for your support. B.

Christian popped over and shared a shoot with me today. Great comms, punctual and fun.

Highly respectful of models and the perfect gentleman.

I think he's already an accomplished photographer and wanted to pick my brains on a few things. The shoot went very well and I'd highly recommend him to any models.

I worked with Christian today on a colourful shoot. Christian was very professional, friendly, respectful, courteous and down to earth. He communicated very clearly before the shoot and was clear on his brief, which made working with him a pleasure. Highly recommended and I hope to work with him again. Thank you!
