I had my first shoot with Mel yesterday.

Pre shoot communication was excellent, we organised what we was going to do prior to the shoot.

He showed up early so we could get to know each other more and prepare before the shoot

He made me feel very comfortable and spoke to me throughout the shoot.

I would highly recommend Mel we are already planning our next shoot

Thank you

I had my first shoot with Mel today.

Pre shoot comms were excellent, he sent over pictures he’d like to get and his studio is an excellent space to use. I really enjoyed working with him and looking forward to working with him again soon.

We both bought loads of outfits, and I was shown the photos regularly as we went along. Mel also checked that the idea of shot he had was within my levels. He made me feel totally at ease, giving me the freedom of posing.

I would highly recommend Mel and as I said before, really looking forward to our next shoot.

After working with Mel a couple of times at group shoots, we finally got round to arranging a 1-1 shoot and wow what a day it was!! Mel provided outfit upon outfit each one just as gorgeous as the last and with a couple of different set ups within the studio we managed to create some great work! This being one of my first 1-1 shoots back I couldn’t of ask for anything better, the support, advice and guidance I received from Mel was so helpful. Already we are planning another shoot & I can’t wait!!

First time shooting with Mel in Benfleet. I can honestly say, I have NEVER had a hobbyist shoot with so many clothing options given to me! I mean, I think Mel owns more women's clothing than I do haha!

Working with Mel was a joy, he took great care of me, the lighting, and ensuring every set would produce great results. We worked really well together in tandem and I loved the BOC shots!

Thanks so much for having me Mel, can't wait to see the edits and to work together again soon.

Second time shooting with Melvyn was even better than the first, as we already knew each other we instantly felt comfortable shooting each other.

This time we shot from my home and it was so interesting seeing Melvyn shooting with very natural light (although he’s fabulous with using lightning aswell) pre comms was fab as they always are so me and Melvyn knew exactly what we wanted from the shoot. He always makes me feel good about myself during a shoot and I always get photos back so quickly.

We have already planned quite a few shoots already and I cannot wait to keep working with this amazing photographer. 100% recommended!

Haven’t shot with Mel for a while, starting to wonder why! He’s absolutely amazing and I felt comfortable throughout my shoot with him, he makes sure my needs were met and offered guidance as to where to stand at some points which was brilliant, he’s shots are brilliant and I would 1000% recommend and cannot wait for next shoot,

I have had 3 shoots with Melvyn now and i can't wait for our next one! Melvyn has a very friendly and kind nature and makes me feel totally at ease at our shoots. Mels communication before and after a shoot is spot on, you can tell he really cares about his photography but is very considerate of what the models wants too.  

Always guaranteed laughter,chat and amazing images!

With out doubt highly recommended from me!

Thank you so much Mel see you soon 😊

Had another amazing shoot with Melvyn yesterday, really enjoy the work we do together.

I feel so comfortable and fully respected the whole time we are together.

Melvyn has a great nature, very accommodating and he always has a variety of new beautiful items to wear. Between us both we have so much to play with clothes & prop wise.

I feel like we really bounce off each other in a creative way, our pre communication is always on point, we always know in advance what we want to achieve so no time is wasted.

Melvyn is always early to make sure everything is set up aswell as making sure the place is warm and comfortable for me to work in which I think is lovely. Very genuine and thoughtful.

Whilst shooting we have already arranged another shoot. Can't wait! Thanks Melvyn for always making me feel awesome! My confidence is always sky high!

I had the most amazing shoot with Melvyn today.

Communication before was amazing and we both knew exactly what we wanted before the shoot. I was very nervous about shooting in a studio as it was a first time for me but I absolutely loved every second of it.

Melvyn was such a gentlemen throughout. He showed me the images through the shoot and asked me at all times if we were comfortable with what we were doing. He’s such a kind, funny person and I instantly felt relaxed around him.

I would recommend Melvyn to all models - he’s so good at what he does and is highly respectful of levels. He also came out with fantastic ideas throughout.

Would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful gentleman and I cannot wait to work with him again!

I had my best shoot ever with Mel! He is such a true gentleman and professional!

Mel picked me up from my home and i instantly felt comfortable and at ease, we arranged a 4 hour studio/location shoot which couldn't of gone any better,he let me pose freely but directed me well when needed. Mel kept showing me the images we captured through out the shoot and I honestly didn't see one that I didn't like, he offered breaks but I didn't want to stop as I was having to much fun! Mel also dropped me home after the shoot and we are arranging another shoot very soon and I can't wait! Highly recommended from me! Book him you will not regret it!

Thanks again Mel 😊

Mel attended my studio day at JB Studios and it was great to work with him again as it had been quite a while.

We’d already discussed outfit choices so we were ready to shoot straight away.

Mel had some great ideas and the time he’d booked just flew by as we went through several outfit changes and backdrop changes.

The images look great and I’d happily recommend working with Mel, hopefully I’ll get to shoot with him myself again soon.

Thanks Mel

Another fabulous shoot with Mel. He's one of my favourite photographers to work with. Considerate, under standing of themes and ideas and truly cares about what he shoots.

I'd definitely book to work with him! X

I worked with Melvyn briefly on a Christmas charity event and instantly felt a great vibe when shooting with him. We then booked a one to one shoot. Melvyn is great to work with, very professional yet friendly and fun! He had a great variety of props and clothing! I felt so comfortable and relaxed the whole way through the shoot and thought we captured amazing pictures! Melvyn has great ideas and I liked that we had good pre communicated before our shoot so we both knew what we wanted to achieve whilst working together! I have already booked in again with him and cant wait to create more fantastic images! Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved working for Melvin...Not only is Melvin easy going, good fun and creative but he is very good at getting amazing lighting...Melvin had some really lovely clothes that he took to the shoot and I am gutted I didn't get to shoot in the see through shorts (time went so quick and we ran out of time)...we got so many really beautiful images together...

Thank you Melvin for a lovely day...

Had a brilliant first shoot with Melvyn. He has some great ideas and gives good direction, as I'm fairly new to the scene!

Did not push my limits and was very easy to work with, made me feel really comfortable. I would definitely recommend, look forward to working with you again!

Melvyn booked an hour on my recent studio day at JB Studios and this was our first time working together.

Melvyn is very friendly and chatty and our hour flew by!

He came prepared with props to use and ideas and I enjoyed our time together.

Recommended! :D

Mel was absolutely lovely and a proper gentleman. He was considerate and took care of what he was shooting.

We shot a few different styles and he had some great ideas.

I'll hopefully be working with him again soon!
