I had a fantastic shoot with Peter last week, we booked the shoot months in advance and his pre comms were excellent.

We planned to shoot in the Peak district, luckily it was great weather and Peter took me to lots of fantastic locations.

Peter is so much fun to work with, he is quirky, random, easy going and very considerate. He made sure at all times I was warm enough and I had lots of breaks.

Peter works in such an interesting creative way and Im confident we got some great images!

I would highly recommend him and hopefully we will work together again some point in the future :)

I had my second shoot with Peter, this time shooting from mine. Peter was punctual as last time and because we had worked together beforehand we easily picked up where we left off last time. Peter also brought a vintage film camera which we both enjoyed shooting with alongside his digital camera. We went through a variety of ideas and outfits, and I enjoyed being able to contribute to the shoot as Peter welcomed my ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and Peter's company, and we had a good time chatting and shooting. I hope I will shoot with Peter once again because he's a very considerate, professional and friendly photographer!

Yet another phenomenal shoot with Peter! Our most recent adventures with shoots have taken us to The Pit Studio, Nottingham and another tremendous location shoot this time in Grindleford. It has to be said that Peter is a visual genius when picking out places and styles because they always provide more yield than a model can wish for to get their creative brain flowing... That's the other wonderful thing about shooting with Peter: he welcomes his models contribution from start to finish so you always feel like a genuine team.

I always have a lot of fun shooting with Peter, we get on like a house on fire plus he is one of the most courteous gentleman around. :)

Thanks Peter!

Shot with Peter again yesterday and it was as easy to organize as the first time. We shot in the same place as last time but explored more and shot in some new locations in the area. We started shooting near an abandoned church and were swiftly joined by a local cat that wanted to be in on the action, Peter was nice enough to let me pose with the cat (it sat on my lap while I did my thing) until we left the area. As it is a common hiking and dog walking spot, Peter also didn't mind when I couldn't get changed due to high numbers of people around. The shoot was great and I definitely recommend Peter

Had a wonderful shoot with Peter on Friday at the Pit Studio.

He was great with communication beforehand and was an utter professional on set with a polite and friendly manner, direction where needed but also letting me flow naturally through poses in the way I feel I work best. He is an extremely considerate man and I felt at ease with him on set. I very much look forward to seeing what we created together on this day and would happily work with him again and recommend him.

Thank you for a lovely shoot Peter :)

I had my shoot confirmed with Peter weeks in advance and we had a brilliant per communication. Peter kindly offered to pay travel expenses and with his previous knowledge of the area of our location shoot we easily found the best spots to shoot at. Peter is a very engaging, friendly photographer who is a lot of fun to work with and made me feel very comfortable with it being my first topless shoot on location. I thoroughly enjoyed Peter letting me pose freely as I believe that is the best way to get natural quality images with true emotions. I hope I'll get to work Peter again!

Peter is friendly, professional and above all, very conscious of his models.

Peter goes out of his way to make sure his model is comfortable, happy and at ease and goes over and above the expected to make sure the model feels awesome throughout the shoot.

He is a really lovely guy, very easy to talk to and get on with and I 100% recommend him to anyone.

Can't wait to work with him again :)

I had a pleasure to work with Peter yesterday. He was on time, well prepared and very friendly. Unfortunately the weather didn't let us follow all of our plan, as it was pouring rain. I'm happy that we didn't cancel the shoot and tried despite the poor weather conditions, for we've got a few really good, rainy images. Highly recommended. Thank you Peter :)

I had the pleasure of working with Cherry Orchard a few weekends ago, immediately I was made to feel welcome and at ease. The results from the shoot have been brilliant, photographs came through email very quickly and I am really happy with the end products! Would definitely recommend!

I shoot with Peter on Sunday and he was great.

Put me at ease, brought some chocolate and was very welcoming despite some setbacks!

We have captured some beautiful images which I can't wait to get hold of.

Would recommend to others :) A++

I shot with Peter yesterday after I messaged him seeing if he would be interested in shooting together. The pre shoot communication was great and we quickly got the shoot sorted. Peter was well researched having gone to the shoot location prior to scope it out and even looking up ideal train times for me before I got a chance too. He met me at the train platform and we set out walking to our first location, he advised me to bring a pair of walking shoes which was definitely a good idea. The shoot went well with Peter letting me do my own thing or directing me when he wanted a specific image. Very polite and well mannered, would definitely recommend.

I had the lovely pleasure of meeting and working with Peter on a location shoot today.

From the first moment I approached Peter at our meeting place I knew immediately that we would get on and that the shoot would be a success. And I was right.

Peter kept the shoot entertaining from start to finish.

He had sourced his locations well and made me feel comfortable at all times.

He came across as a lovely, friendly man and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

I had great fun today and I hope the pictures turn out well.

Having now worked with Peter twice (in the studio and on location) I can securely say that no model should pass up the opportunity to enjoy a pleasantly creative blast with this wonderful gent. His passion to work the lights in a controlled environment shined through as he worked from one set to the next. Peter is always ready and waiting to take on new challenges and the process of helping him creating those magical moments is true bliss.

Another sky high recommendation from myself. :) I look forward to getting our next shoot together underway soon.

Peter and I had our first shoot together yesterday and what a truly fantastic shoot it was! Not only was the British weather as pleasant as we could have wished for and perfect for location shooting but working alongside such a lovely, professionally delightful photographer was the highlight of the day without a shadow of a doubt. I could determine from Peters approach in his superb communications that he was a gent whose etiquette when working with models would be nothing less that perfect; but upon meeting him and then following on with a productive flow complete with joyful gelling and spontaneous innovative bounce - you certainly know from that moment that the positivity will show in the results. Furthermore, Peter is polite and very considerate of models; I felt as ease at all times but most of all enjoyed all the chatting we did!

Although he had a foundation plan to work with for the shoot, Peter was very enthused to seize the moment as we coincidentally found them. This meant that we were working with a certain level of unpredictability, but with an eye like Peters and his ability to act instantly to piece the shot together - the rewards were reaped in the back of the camera for definite! He changed his position, he worked the ever changing (sometimes rebellious) sunshine and he composed each image with magic. Even encouraging my ideas as well for stupendous team effort with creative inspiration. I could go on and on but models... Peter is extremely high on my recommended list, I am sure you will have an absolute blast working with him. We have our next shoot in 2 weeks time and I know our will be just that. :)

I recently enjoyed my first two shoots Cherry Orchard. Our first shoot working on fashion on location in Pittenweem, Fife and secondly working on artistic nude on location in Perth. I had two very enjoyable shoots and it was lovely to meet and work with Cherry Orchard for the first time. He is a very experienced, professional photographer and was a complete gentleman. I enjoyed his company and loved all the ideas he had for poses and he found some lovely locations in Pittenweem for us to shoot at. Contact leading up to the shoot was excellent and during the shoot i felt completely at ease and his direction was good, also letting me put my own ideas forward. I look forward to working together in the future. Highly recommended. Thanks for two awesome days shooting and the yummy chocolate. Aurora :)
