I worked with Thomas for a first time. He attended bodyscapes workshop organised at my home studio in Essex.

He arrived on time very well prepared for the shoot and even brought his own props which were cool to use for the shoot.

I really enjoyed working with him. He is very easy going and talented photographer. He also showed back of the camera images which were very nice.

Thank you so much for a great shoot and hopefully we will work together again soon.

Thomas is highly recommended!

I was eager to do a Horror themed shoot and although not a horror movie fan himself, Thomas was happy to go along with my creepy ideas and was very encouraging.

Although having never worked together before, the shoot felt very relaxed and we had a good rapport throughout. He made sure to check in with me periodically throughout the shoot to make sure I was okay and wasn't too cold (as I was soaked in fake blood!)

He showed me back of the camera shots as we went along and made sure I was happy with the shots we were getting, even more so as the theme was my idea.

He really valued all of my input and suggestions whilst still leading the shoot in a professional yet friendly manner. Would definitely recommend 😊

Had my first shoot with Thomas, it was great fun.

Pre- communications were Excellent and ideas where created !!! He even hired someone else to do the creative design process with images (tape).

I felt very safe and comfortable the entire time and we even discussed new ideas for future shoots.

Great use of space and light. Very knowledgeable with the camera and equipment and I would most definitely recommend to anyone. Hope to work again soon :D

First shoot with Tom and Brad today, and had so much fun! both were very accommodating and considerate, Had brilliant ideas and also helped me bring some of my ideas to life.

Both had great sense of humor and conversation and made me feel very comfortable.

A large variety of equipment and props were available along with some good music to play during the shoot. Definitely recommended!

Another brilliant shoot with Tom ! Shot with Brad also and they work so well together and always making jokes.

After a long time of not working together it was so nice to shoot again. Outdoors shoot with winter clothing. Mixture of grafitti, portraits, fences and playing around with different affects of lights outside.

Brainstormed lots of ideas and locations were organised for each set, easy to get along with, had a clear idea of what is wanted to be achieved from the shoot.

It was so fun to work with you again and be introduced to Brad. As always I reccomend and would love to work with again in the future!

Had my first shoot with Tom and Brad.

I was made to feel so comfortable straight away, they talked me through the whole evening and expressed confidently and clearly what they were looking for. Executing the shots with excellent direction.

I would highly recommend Tom and Brad, They work hard to produce great shots while also having fun.

Such down to earth guys with great sense of humour.

Would love to work with them again for sure.

All around lovely guys that know how to have a laugh and get some great images at the same time, as well as making you feel comfortable and relaxed.

As soon as i met tom i felt at ease! Very laid back atmosphere but also very professional.

I was offered drinks and breaks when needed and we both had some really good ideas!

The raw images look awesome and I really enjoyed myself. I hope to shoot again with him!

MissMay

This is actually the second time we have shot together but we are both useless at leaving a reference! Haha.

I love shooting with Thomas because he’s so laid back and makes me laugh the whole shoot. His communication is brilliant and his ideas are fab. He has always made me feel comfortable. He always caters to my every request including custard creams (essential!) and bug spray!

Would definitely recommend him and definitely like to work with him again 😊

Had a really incredible shoot with Thomas Mathews once again!

We shoot a variety of diverse themes and concepts, I really love how open and accepting Thomas was to my themes and ideas. I really felt like I could express myself to the full with the help of Thomas's incredible photography skills. The first theme was mental health awareness which was a theme that I feel very close too, Thomas was great at expressing emotion through these images, and there was a perfect balance between my poses and Thomas's direction.

The second theme was a crazy glitter shoot, Thomas went overboard and provided every glitter colour under the sun. I had such great fun producing these images. This was definitely one of my favorite shoots in long time. Thomas was incredibly respectful too, and i felt more than comfortable doing my implied topless poses. Thomas is a photographer that I definitely feel very comfortable around.

What a fun and energetic shoot!

110% recommended! Would love the opportunity to work with this talented creative photographer again!

Thomas arrived on time at an urban location that he hadn’t shot before in (he loved it!)

He was full of energy and had great ideas. Highly friendly and professional at all times. We had a right laugh and got some fab shots. Pre comms were great and I really enjoyed our shoot.

100% recommend Thomas to all models and I would love to work with him again!
