I had a remote shoot with Alice Fox assisted greatly by Team Black (Angel this time.) I shot with TB many times and now that we know each other it does go seamlessly. Angel is great with the model, this time Alice Fox, and she directed her to just what I wanted and could see what I was trying to do and I was so happy with the results. Not only that, but I received the images very quickly and that's always a relief. I will be shooting with them again and certainly look forward to it. If you have a chance to work with them, either in person or remotely, don't pass it up. They are friendly and certainly knowledgeable and it will be a pleasure. thank you again.

Alice Fox.

I had the pleasure of working with the black team for the second time.

I recommend them? Absolutely yes!

We made two remote and they were super professional: they took care of every detail, the camera arrangement, the lights.

Besides being a perfect team are two wonderful people with whom it is very nice to work, talk and together we also have lots of laughs. They took care of me, were very kind to have me hosted in their house and give me many tips.

They are two very loving people and the time spent with them is only quality time.

See you in January, thanks again

Angel hosted a remote shoot with 2 models, covering the many tasks a remote shoot requires - camera moves, lighting, laptop connectivity, plus also directing and ensuring the models were positioned properly within the composition.

As a model herself, Angel is fabulous at suggesting angles, locations and setups, and this was particularly helpful as one of the 2 models was very new to remote shooting.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Team Black and this was another shoot where their experience and skills shone through.

Thanks Team Black, Angel and especially for jumping in for a few shots.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about the awesome Team Black? ...

This time I was working with them on a model shoot hosted by them and AntoniaJ in Dorset, I travelled around 3hrs to reach them for the day's shoot if that doesn't say it all I don't know what will.

Organised, Check

Great Comms, Check

Friendly Team, Check ... It's a full house! :)

No hesitation recommending Team black or any event they organise, you can't go wrong with either tuition or one of their hosted events or studio days.

Thanks again team! :)

Another wonderful shoot facilitated expertly by Team Black, this time with visiting Italian model, Iris Rosa, hosted at Antonia Jay's home studio.

I’ve booked a few remote shoots with Team Black now and can honestly say they are brilliant at what they do! Comms throughout the process are always excellent, the equipment provided is of a high standard and the assistance, & advice when required, is both professional and invaluable… plus they make the whole experience fun. I always come away with a great set of images from these events and this shoot with Iris was no exception!

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Team Black’s services to fellow photographers – thank you once again guys! 😊

Again I did a shoot with Team Black this time with Iris Rosa.

The shoot was amazing. John was great, I admire his work, so it was a pleasure working with him. He was very helpful, very kind and very creative. Iris was a sweet model to work with, also very creative and energetic.

I got amazing results, more than I expected. I highly recommend working with Team black to any photographer.

Looking forward for our next shoot soon, this time with Alice. I'm looking forward. Thank you Team Black, keep it up.

I booked onto a Duo shoot that Angel was hosting at her home studio with Ell Mae. I had worked with Team Black remotely on a few occasions but this was my first in person shoot with them.

We had exchanged a few ideas prior to the shoot about set ups, shoot ideas and on the day when I arrived, the first set was up and ready completed with backdrop, main light (huge Octa), fill and rim lighting. John was on hand to help with getting the settings just right and that was a constant theme for the full duration of my 3hr shoot.

Angel and John worked so hard at assembling sets, then taking them down, moving to another location in their home studio - that included changing backdrops, adding curtains, moving lights, moving props, you name it, they were on hand to make sure everything was just perfect.

They both have a great eye for detail and many times Angel spotted the odd little tweak that could be made to just improve a shot, and of course John was on hand for input on what works in different parts of their home studio.

They know their space so well as far as places to shoot from, what the lighting is typically like, angles to shoot from and backdrops / drapes / curtains that work best.

They are a fantastic team and worked so well together to make sure that both me as the photographer and also the visiting model didn't have to worry about anything but getting the shots.

Thank you both for a fantastic visit to your studio and home, for your hospitality and for all of the hard work to make my first in person visit to Team Black such an enjoyable one.

I did a shoot with Team Black this time with Ell Mae and Angel Black.

Both were amazing. I always enjoy working with Team Black, very generous.

Team black helped a lot in both shoots, providing their home studio which is really amazing with lots of options including locations, backdrops and wardrobe.

I got amazing results, more than I expected. I loved working with Team black. I highly recommend working with them to any photographer. I promise you, you'll have an amazing experience and amazing results. Also, always keep an eye on the models they are hosting. They just bring the best.

Looking forward for our next collaboration. Thank you.

Ell Mae

Let me start this by saying i’m 2 years behind on references but I had to get one on for this fabulous pair!

I have had the best little tour down to their place in Somerset. I stayed with them, and they really took care of me with anything i needed, i couldn’t sing their praises high enough.

Angel & John’s knowledge of the industry, lighting, admin, photography etc is unmatched I feel like i’ve come home learning things, aswell as having an amazing time.

Working alongside Angel was a dream, we worked so well together. I did a mini shoot with John too in breaks and the shots are 🤌🏻

Thank you both for having me, 1000% recommended and i would love to return ❤️

Mr Y

I had the honour & privilege of shooting with the amazing Ell Mae yesterday in a session organised and facilitated by Team Black.

This was my third remote shoot in conjunction with Team Black and, as I am now considering to be the norm, it was a brilliant experience!

Team Black’s expert assistance and the advice they give (when required) ensures the session flows easily and the equipment provided for these remote sessions is, as you'd expect, very professional. I find that they are more than willing to go that extra mile to help you capture images you can be proud of.

I am happy to recommend Team Black without hesitation and will definitely be making use of their services again in future! Thank you once again, 😊

I had a wonderful remote shoot with Ell Mae assisted by Team Black. We had to revise the original plan (shooting outdoors) because of rain, but as always John and Angel were great at helping devise different indoor locations and setting up to facilitate smooth transitions between sets. I highly recommend. Ell was also great to work with and the shoot flew by way too fast.

Really enjoyed the LED panel lighting session I had with Team Black.

They made me feel very welcome and were easy to work with.

Good communication beforehand, excellent advice offered, selection of good backgrounds available, helpful and encouraging feedback, a willingness to work with my ideas (even the pretty mad ones) and I came away with more confidence and a lot of great images.

First remote shoot at Team Black. They have all equipment in the home. Relaxed atmosphere. Very good cooperation.

Alice Fox.

I had my first remote shoot with team Black and Angel was so kind to host me and she gave me some advice to understand remote shooting as was my first time.

She was also very lovely with me and helpful with setting up the shoots. Angel is so precise and professional with the angles and setting the camera on the shoot.

I'm so so thankful to her and to all the team Black.

I recommended the team to all models and photographers.

Thank you so much for these lovely shoots

Alice, xxx

Mr Y

I had the honour & privilege of being the wonderful Alice Fox's first ever remote shooter yesterday in a session organised and facilitated by Team Black.

This was my second remote shoot in conjunction with Team Black and, once again, it was a fantastic experience.

The equipment provided for these remote sessions is, as you'd expect, top notch but what really stands out to me as a relatively new photographer, is their expert assistance and the advice they give (when required) which ensures the session not only flows easily but practically guarantees you will come away with a fantastic selection of images!

I am more than happy to recommend Team Black and am sure I'll be making use of their services again in future!

Had another great remote shoot facilitated by Team Black. As usual, a great model, great sets, and an all around great experience.

Mya Chan

Today was my 1st remote shoot at team.blacks studio and what a honour to have shot there. Angel is 100% the best with pre coms and organising everything, I'm grateful for her hard work.

Also John was fabulous and took care of the technical side of things on the day making sure everyone was happy, and helping with the camera equipment, lighting, and also ideas! He picked me up from the station and back which was very much appreciated.

The photographs were all amazing too and we all worked well together.

I highly recommend this studio and team! Thanks for having me !!

Team Black had a visiting model coming to their Studio (Mya) and I signed up for a 2hr slot.

Pre shoot communications were excellent with pics of shooting locations and some ideas on set up. On the day John was on hand from the start, ensuring I understood their set up, helping with camera movement as we moved around their home studio, working tirelessly to make sure I got great shots.

John was not intrusive but always available for questions or assistance.

I would definitely recommend Team Black is you get the opportunity to work with them.

A great shoot with Mya Chan with the technical assistance of Team Black. Very well run, top notch gear and setup. Got some amazing images and John was great in making sure everything was running well and in his assistance in helping me get the shots and lighting setup I wanted.

Kudos!
