What a wonderful day!

I had the extreme pleasure of working with Peter on a beautiful day in Grindleford, he met me with a smile on his face and a kind gesture of chocolate - why don't more photographers do this?!

We had a great day of chatting and wandering through the wilderness capturing some absolutely stunning shots and taking our time as we did so. Peter is a true pleasure to shoot with and an absolute gentleman. He ensured I was happy throughout the whole shoot and made sure I had enough warm up breaks between shots on a chilly December day!

I cannot wait to shoot with him again in the future and create some more magic!

What a fantastic day!!

My second shoot with Peter and it was just lovely. Pre-communications were perfect and so organised. On the morning of the shoot I didn't feel 100% and requested that we changed a few things about the shoot so I'd be more comfortable. Peter was more than accommodating and looked after me well all day, which I am so grateful for. Not everybody would have been as kind!

The shoot was relaxed but productive, and from what I've seen we got some incredible shots. Peter is really respectful and polite, and always makes sure you're comfortable with everything. A total gentleman and great to talk to. A very genuine person. :)

Thank you for a wonderful shoot Peter! Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful shoot with Peter last week, we shot in the beautiful countryside and he knew all the best spots for photographing in.

Im soo glad we rearranged the shoot for the day before as the sun came out and made it a little warmer which was lovely.

Peter is a lot of fun to work with, we were chatting the entire shoot and I had a wonderful time working with him.

He's very respectful towards his models and I would definitely recommend working with him!

I hope to see you again :)

I had my first shoot with Peter yesterday . . what a true gent and lovely person! Had a really great shoot, we shot at my home and I felt very relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

Peter was organised and knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot. He constantly asked if I was ok and if I was happy to do this and if he could move here etc(rare from my experience) As a model little things like this make you feel very safe and in good hands.

I would love to work with Peter again, he clearly has a real passion for photography, a kind heart and a great sense of humour!

Thanks Peter :-) x

I had an absolutely wonderful first shoot with Peter today!

His communication before the shoot was excellent and he was friendly and polite from the start. He met me on time and was a gentleman - so lovely to be around. We went on an adventure through the countryside and shot in some incredibly beautiful locations. Peter was really patient and reasonable when it was getting a bit colder, not minding that I needed to warm up a bit. He was kind and thoughtful throughout.

It was an exciting shoot and a big change for me - much more fun than a studio! Beautiful surroundings and good company - we didn't stop chatting!

I'm so glad that I met Peter and that he chose to work with me. Highly recommended and trustworthy, a real gem. Don't miss a chance to work with him, I loved it!!

I had a photoshoot with The Cherry Orchard today and it was wonderful, in the most amazing location of Grindleford in the woodland near there. I'd never been before, probably the best and prettiest location I've had the pleasure of shooting in. I'd visit again on a sunny day just for a picnic. But that's besides the point...

Communications with The Cherry Orchard were excellent from the get go. He bought me chocolate and lunch which was awesome, and was an extremely friendly guy. The conversation never ran dry and I even struggled to keep it together in photos from the amount of times he made me laugh! He has a great sense of humour.

We had planned everything out beforehand, and The Cherry Orchard even gave me the train times that I needed to arrive at Grindleford. He was exceptionally organised and gave me a list of all the items he wanted me to take and a model release form to sign.

I had an amazing day, and wouldn't hesitate to work with The Cherry Orchard again.

He is definitely highly recommended by me.

Thank you for the lovely day.

I shot with Peter for the first time on Monday in the most beautiful location. Apart from the cold the shoot was and went wonderfully.

Peter was super sweet, so sweet that he ever brought be some chocolate!!

Communication before and during the shoot was spot on.

I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with Peter and hope to work with him again soon!!

Highly recommended!

Much love,

Eve

I ha for the most fantastic shoot today with Peter in the beautiful countryside of Derbyshire. Peter is so easy to talk to and get along with and made me feel very comfortable and the location was so stunning and quiet we weren't disturbed whilst shooting some fashion nude and even some art nude. Overall I had such a fun day the time flew by, I would highly recommend him and would love to shoot with him again. Thank you Peter :)

Shooting with Peter was such a delight! Pre-comms were perfect on his part, and he was very understanding when I asked to reschedule. When it came to shooting, Peter was easy going, very fun to talk to and get along with, and a generally caring and compassionate guy. Peter was complimentary throughout the shoot, and even brought me a big bar of chocolate, which did not go amiss! I can't wait to see the images and I'd jump at the chance of shooting with him again. A real pleasure. Highly recommended.

I always enjoy shooting with Peter and this time was no exception. He is super friendly and easy to get along with and works efficiently with the time you have, which always seems to fly.

I love the results so far and look forward to working together again in the future, always recommend for a fun and productive shoot with a lovely human and great photographer!

I had my first shoot with Peter a few weeks ago :).

Communication with Peter was great, he exactly specified what he wanted to achieve and told me his ideas for a shoot.

During the shoot we had so much laugh and fun that is hilarious ! Apart from him being a great, experienced photographer he is a great person to work with. Peter let me just pose in my own way, without over-directing me that made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. Those 4 hours went definitely too quick ... I would recommend Peter to anyone who like a good company during a shoot :).

I hope we can shoot again quite soon, Peter :)

Had a great shoot with Peter last weekend a a lovely location in Grindleford.

Peter was easy to get along with and i felt comfortable around him the whole time. He was caring of how i'm felt during the shoot and offered my his jacket to keep my warm when it got a bit windy, even though we picked a great day for the weather. Looking forward to working together in the future!

Highly recommended!

Worked with Peter again on Saturday in Sheffield and Grindleford on two different sets (both urban and rural). Firstly, he is a top person, with a great sense of humour, open mind and amazing attitude so working together is always fun and enjoyable.

Judging by the other times we have worked together I know I will love the images produced.

His eye for locations is as adept as his professionalism and I look forward to our next shoot, which I know will be just as productive and creative.

Top marks all round! X

I have worked with Peter so many times now: he recently came back to shooting after a bit of a break and I cannot say how nice it was to work with him again and see him back to his creatively enthused self. :) You would have never had thought that there was such a gap between our last shoot before and this one because the flow just clicked into place like it always had and we were at it with the banter from the very moment we met up at Sheffield! It's good to have you back Peter!

The creative process of working with Peter has always been a breath of fresh air - he is always concise in what he wants in the communication and will specify what to bring so that you are not lugging masses of things pointlessly around on location. I always have a visual idea of what Peter wished to achieve because he covers everything right up to styling in his emails and this makes working with him so very easy. The images he then captures are really beautifully artistic and varied, he is such a relaxed and laid back chap but once the images are nailed in a set then that's it we're thinking about other exciting possibilities... once he's figured out his angle vs. my position and all the composition qualities then Peter will get the shot in no time at all. He has a very good eye for his work and I always find my shoots with Peter super productive which seems unreal because we do technically spend 80% of the time chatting! Sometimes I wonder if the pictures just make themselves! :D :D

He's a truly caring person with a good heart and wicked sense of humour; even though we have lot's of laughs and work with a very laid back etiquette I still cannot express just how completely professional Peter comes across with his shoots. I have always felt totally at ease working together, well looked after and it's got to the point where he actually tells me off for climbing up trees now because he worries after the models well-being so much. :) A true gem and I only look forward to the next exciting photoshoot adventure! Very highly recommended!

Thanks again Peter!

After a successful and enjoyable shoot a few months ago, Peter booked me for 2 more shoots consisting of 6 hours spread over 2 days. He travelled over 70 miles, all on public transport from Yorkshire and stayed in a hotel in Birmingham; travelling again to our location each day. As you can probably tell, Peter is a dedicated photographer and I was so honoured that he put all that effort into shooting with me :)

The pre-shoot comms were excellent and i knew every detail of travel arrangements, timings, hair/ makeup preferences and choices of outfits well in advance of both shoots. The shoot was relaxed and very funny and the time sped by both days; it didn't feel like work at all! As always, he was kind and courteous and even bought me chocolate (again!) I saw a couple of images back of camera and they were excellent! He really is a talented photographer :)

Thanks for another 2 enjoyable shoots Peter, and thanks so much for booking me again!

I had my first shoot today with Peter at Windmillart studio. He turned up on time and was very friendly. I found Peter easy to work with.

Great pre-comms & I found that Peter was very good at saying what he was after and we got lots shot in our time together. He is lots of fun to model for and a good laugh.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and definitely would work with him again.

Halo Haynes

This was my second time shooting with Peter and it went like lightning. We went through a vast collection of looks, working together with ease and having many an obscure conversation along the way.

He is a great person to work with, very professional but laid back, sure of where he wants his models, working quickly and efficiently and paying a lot of attention to the needs of his model in reference to how content, warm, comfortable and sustained they are. Genuinely awesome chap who creates beautiful photos!

I am working with him again in May and look forward to it greatly as we always have very productive and fun shoots. Recommend and can't wait :)

I loved shooting with Peter he is a very respectful and lovely guy would 100% recommend him. Cant thank you enough for a brilliant shoot Jess x

I had a great first shoot with Peter and my first shoot at The Pit in Nottingham yesterday/ Peter was so lovely, his pre shoot communications were excellent, his planning and organisation were perfect! After several months of waiting for the shoot to arrive, Peter maintained contact with me up until the shoot. He was very considerate of my comfortability (as The Pit can get very cold!) and made sure I was wrapped up warm between sets! He even got me a couple of hot chocolates! As well as being a skilled photographer Peter is a joy to be around and is a pleasure to work with.

I had my first shoot with Peter yesterday and I'm so glad he booked me. His pre-shoot comms were very clear and detailed which made planning for the actual shoot day so easy. While shooting he gave direction and feedback readily and with kindness and respect.

He was easy to talk to and he even brought chocolate for me, which needless to say, was a lovely gesture that I won't forget in a hurry :) The image I've seen from him so far is beautiful and he obviously has a very artistic eye.

I'd recommend Peter to others and hope he'll book me again :) Thanks Peter!
