It was really lovely to meet Melvyn yesterday at a group shoot Pete Wilk had organised. It was a really great day and amazing to work with so many creative people.

Melvyn was friendly, chatty and a joy to work with. He really knew his lighting and showed me the pictures off the back of the camera which I was blown away by. He is really talented and I really hope I get the chance to work with him again. Great shoot and day! Thanks Melvyn!

After quite of a break from modelling, I am so happy, that Melvyn and other two photographers that booked were the ones to have bang start! Because of photographers like Melvyn - i do modelling! So easy to work with, super professional, takes really good angles and understand how the lighting works. He just showed some images, and most of them don't even need a retouch! I would like to highly recommend for new and experienced models - he's a gem!

I had a group shoot with melvyn recently at his studio and it was a fabulous day. Melvyn is very friendly and professional while he also gives great direction and frequently shows the back of the camera. He clearly really enjoys what he does and is a pleasure to work with. Happy to recommend :).

I met Melvyn on a group shoot on Monday, what a lovely guy :) He made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived to the studio, showing me around & offering me a drink. We had a little chat about what we were going to be doing & straight away I felt comfortable. Melvyn had quite a few ideas which worked really well, he definitely knows what works. I was able to pose freely or he would offer me direction if he wanted something specific. We worked though quite a few sets & the time flew! Really like the pics ive seen from the camera so im looking forward to seeing the end results. Thanks Melvyn, hopefully shoot again soon :) Carly x

Had a fantastic shoot with Melvyn the other week!

I have shot at group shoots with Melvyn before, however we have only just shot together on a 1 to 1 basis!

Melvyns pre-comms were spot on, I knew exactly what style/look we were going for well in advance. Melvyn even brought some of his own outfits and props with him! Very well prepared.

I find Melvyn very easy to get along with, we chatted throughout and a couple of hours seemed to have flown by! We also got some pretty awesome shots!

Melvyn is friendly, polite, a true gentleman and a great photographer. I recommend him to anyone!

I had my first shoot with Mel a couple of weeks ago in preparation for a studio day. He was a complete gentleman and so friendly. His pre/post shoot communications were excellent. We had a very enjoyable shoot and I'm looking forward to seeing him again soon!

Melvyn is a top gentleman and wonderful photographer to shoot with.

Pre communications were excellent. I knew exactly where I needed to be and was met as promised outside Rayleigh station.

He was incredibly polite, a good laugh and very easy to eat along with and made myself and my partner feel at ease.

Shooting with Melvyn was a breeze, his directions were very clear and I felt comfortable.

I would highly recommend him to other models and look forward to hopefully working together again this year!

Thank you so much and also for taking us to the hotel afterwards! An absolute star! 😊

Mel Attended my recent workshop having a desire to improve their studio lighting skills.

The workshop was based on one light only and we shot 2 models in various sets with just one light.

Mel Was attentive and contributed the whole ambiance and feel of the day with vigour and gusto and had a real desire to lean the stuff on offer whilst behaving in a friendly and courteous manner within the group

Shooting everything from Beauty to Karate action and Bodyscapes a jam packed day produced some great back of the screen shots so really looking forward to final edits.

We covered the basics around etiquette and behaviour with models as well as all the theory stuff and some of the harder technicalities.

I have known Mel for a while as he normally lets me into photvibe.

He has a passion for great imageary and a real deisre to learn and be better.

He is a pleasure to work alongside and I look forward to the results froma very capable photographer.

I have no issue recommending them fully as a great photographer to work with.

Melvyn is a genuine gentleman and it was a pleasure to meet him at Photovibe Studio on Saturday. He was very courteous and polite as a photographer as well as being very hospitable in his role of studio host. I would happily work with him again and very much look forward to seeing the images he captured of Pippa Doll and I on the day.

Melvyn came along to lighting workshop ran by GPL at Photovibe studios.

I was greeted with a big friendly hug and made a cup of tea!

Melvyn is always fun company and someone you can have a great laugh with, whilst also being professional and cautious of the models safety.

Thank you :)

Had my second shoot with Melvyn on Friday. We only had a limited time to shoot, but it was still fantastic.

Melvyn is truly great. Friendly, professional and he gives fantastic direction when it's needed. He has some brilliant ideas and hopefully next time we shoot together we can achieve more.

Definitely recommended and looking forwarded to our next shoot.

I got an hour with Melvyn at my studio day on Sunday. What a lovely guy! Melvyn set up quickly and we smashed out some strong high key implied and semi nude fashion shoots which I absolutely loved on the back of the camera! The hour went way to quick, I wish we had a some more time!

I will definely be working with Melvyn again one day and would recommend him to other models.

Thanks again :)
