Had my first shoot with Tony - it went fantastic - he is extremely talented, polite, kind and easy to chat to. he cares about what the model wants aswell. He showed me the photos on the back of the camera which I always appreciate. We got a great mixture of location and studio setting - he really works hard to get the most out of each shoot. Pre comms were fantastic! I hope it is not the last time we work together - his hospitality is 10/10. thank you :)

Tony is such a talented photographer/editor and such a laid back guy that I really wanted to shoot with him for a second time, and I'm so glad that we were able to. He has so many incredible ideas, along with beautiful dresses and one of a kind headdresses that he creates himself; he'd also hand painted the backdrop we used. He was able to set up the perfect lighting for our first studio set. Our second set involved a cold paddling pool, and Tony was incredibly quick at capturing the perfect shots, conscious of how cold I was. On top of that, I really enjoyed our chats during our coffee breaks in-between sets. I've already seen some of the edited images and omg they are incredible, just as beautiful as paintings if not more so. I'd definitely reccomend working with him.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Tony. His portfolio is truly inspiring, showcasing magical cinematic lighting that initially drew me to contact him. During our discussions about the shoot, Tony was very open-minded and receptive to suggestions, offering valuable insights.

Tony’s proficiency with camera work and lighting is evident in his ability to bring beautiful dynamism to even the simplest set-ups. His dedication to editing adds an extra layer of life to the already gorgeous raw images.

I thoroughly enjoyed the creative freedom and constructive feedback Tony provided throughout the shoot. Additionally, Tony and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring I felt comfortable at all times.

I couldn't recommend more! Look forward to our shoot soon!

I'm so sorry for the late reference!

Oh my gosh, well after trying to book a shoot together since the end of last year, it finally happened and boy was it worth the wait!

Tony is fantastic both as a photographer and as a person. Communications both pre and post shoot were amazing. Photos were sent over promptly and so many of them!

We had a lovely chat after our shoot which was so lively and instilled a lot of ideas for future events and shoots in my brain so thank you Tony!

Highly recommend

Much love

Tony was such a lovely photographer and a genuinely lovely guy to chat with too. This is the first shoot I have done with him, I arrived and immediately felt welcomed, there was tea and kindly bought snacks, he had such an array of clothing and accessories, we combined outfits to create magic. But more than that- it’s obvious he has a great eye for capturing shots, he directed me well, made me feel at ease and created some truly beautiful images. Couldnt recommend him enough. Just brilliant.

Thanks again Tony.

Tony was one of the first photographers i followed when i joined the site and started modeling 3 years ago

I have wanted to shoot with him for years but never plucked up the courage to reach out.

I recently made a dress that i just knew i had to shoot with Tony, and as i happened to be passing nearby i figured i'd finally drop him a message.

I wish i had reached out sooner as he was a genuinly lovely person, he was so kind about the dress i'd brought and it was so easy to relax into the shoot with him.

Tony has such a deep well of knowledge on photography and editing that i was really interested in how he explained things to me, and which is really evidenced in the amazing images he has produced.

It was such a pleasure to shoot with someone so talented, enthusiastic, friendly and creative! I only wish we'd had more time!

I sincerely hope to work with Tony again, and actively encourage any model with the same creative spirit to shoot with him!

I just had my first shoot with Tony and it was a blast. He was full of many brilliant stories to tell and he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He brought a lovely collection of clothes along with him and had so many amazing ideas for locations to shoot. I saw the photos in the back of the camera and they look amazing! With his incredible post processing skills, I have no doubt the results will be brilliant. I definitely would recommend him and I hope to shoot with him again!

My second shoot with Tony and just as good as the first, relaxed, collaborative and productive. We worked our way through a number of different styles and sets and as previously Tony was absolutely great to work with. He knows what images he wants to capture and will work with you to achieve them and to make your own ideas come to life as well.

Ben Drummond

What an absolutely amazing shoot this was. Immediately from the off I found Tony to be an absolute joy to meet and work with. His knowledge and skills were evident throughout the entire shoot and the same can be said for his friendliness, welcoming nature and his enthusiasm in every single shot we took.

There aren't many better feelings than creating images with a kindred spirit and someone as talented and cool as Tony. If you ever get the chance to work with Tony then I highly, highly recommend doing so as you won't just create some amazing art, you'll also be meeting one of the nicest, most linkable photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

I have finally shot with this amazing photographer I'm so happy got to work with Tony today. We have been talking about shooting for yearsss. And had to get a shoot with him before another lock down happens. And so glad we finally got to. His family is so hospitable provided me with drinks and a place to get changed in private. All so kind. We spoke what looks we wanted to do and I think we nailed each one. Cannot wait to see the final images and share what we have made. Tony is a really good photographer and knows what he likes to do and he let me put my input too also let me select some of my favourite images too very respectful and a good listener to what your after in a shoot, I hope we shoot together again soon. I think we worked really well together as we both listened to what eachother wanted. I think this is a good thing within a shoot and will show in the photos once we share them. Honestly 100% reccomended.

Halo Haynes

I adore Tony’s work and we always get amazing shots, this time was no different. He even had a headpiece he had made that really added some drama to our shoot!

A fab human, with an eye for painterly perfection who will always provide wicked content, a good chat and some fun!

Until next time, keep kicking butt!

I have had so much fun shooting with Tony recently. He is an outstanding photographer with professional approach. I fell in love with his work from the very first moment I've seen his photographs. I'm very much looking forward to working with Tony again.

Tony was on my wish list to work with when I started modelling. I am just a newbie and I was worried a lot when I emailed him to ask about a collaboration, but he said he also wanted to work with me. I felt so happy. From the moodboard to actual work, he is very clear with what he wanted for the concept, but he didn’t push or pressure me which I appreciated. When we met for shooting, I enjoyed talking with him a lot and it helped me understand him more to help the shooting. Tony is very straightforward with his ideas and I loved this. It made it quick for me to understand and easier to pose like his ideas. Tony has a very nice personality, is friendly and professional and a joy to spend time with. I really highly recommend him and can’t wait to work with him again soon.

I consider myself incredibly lucky that Tony and I live in the same area, as he's a complete dream to work with. He's a very patient, easygoing, and incredibly talented photographer and Photoshop wizard. The fact that he's a fellow geek also made talking to him way more fun! Pre and post-comms were great as his responses were prompt, and during the shoot he gave very helpful direction at times I felt a bit stuck. We did both cyberpunk/cinematic and ethereal shoots that day. Despite the weather working against us, the photos turned out fantastically and show off Tony's versatility with different genres.

Highly recommended, I'm already looking forward to shooting some of the other ideas we discussed for the future.

I've worked with Tony a handful of times now and hope to work with him on many more occasions.

Not only does he produce excellent, atmospheric work but he's also a lovely person. We have a lot of geeky interests in common too!

I heartily recommend him to other models!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tony on Sunday at a bit of a 'group shoot' kinda day with MUA sister of sinister, arranged by Rapture photography. :)

Straight off the bat, I found Tony really approachable and easy to talk to, and once shooting I found him an absolute delight to work with!

Tony is really chatty, easy to communicate with and comfortable to pose for. I'm so surprised we hadn't worked together sooner!

The photos I've been shown so far are absolutely STUNNING, (as all of his work is) and the images capture the makeup absolutely beautifully.

I couldn't have thought of a lovelier person to meet and work with on this day, and I certainly hope to work with him again sometime in the future!

100% recommended. :)

Rapture Photography organised a group of friends and models for a day at The Boardroom with the extremely talented Sister of Sinister and it was great to have Tony there to capture me as a snowqueen/princess. The day was just truly magical for me and it was so nice to have one of Rapture Photography's friends there. I had heard a lot about him and it was great to finally meet him and work with him. He is extremely talented and the photos on the back of the camera looked amazing!

During the day he was polite, chatty and just great fun to work with. He worked really hard to capture the images and I enjoyed every second. I would highly recommend working with him and I hope we get to work together again another time. Thanks Tony!

I have been following Tony's work for a while and always been looking for an opportunity to shoot with him. I finally got an excuse to visit Nottingham and of course, I contacted Tony to see if he is available and interested in shooting with me.

We chose a cinematic theme as Tony is one of a limited number of photographers able to shoot this style well. Communication was excellent. We started with a mood board and agreed on some shooting locations very quickly as we both knew the city well.

Although most people hope for a sunny day, we are expecting more moody weather to suit our theme. Unfortunately, on the day, it was lovely and sunny. However, we planned for this eventuality and found some shady corners. I love how Tony took my ideas and enhanced them into something even better which has resulted in some stunning images. His understanding of his equipment and natural lighting is excellent and his post-production further enhanced the end result.

A friendly and easy to get on with photographer that made the time fly by.

Definitely highly recommended! Thank you for a great shoot Tony. Hoping to shoot with you again

I had been wanting to work with Tony for a long time, and was very happy to finally get the opportunity in July. He came over from Nottingham and we shot in my favourite local cemetery. He was great to work with - friendly, chatty, easygoing, creative, and open to ideas...can’t wait for our next photo session. Thank you, Tony, for a great shoot!

Indrija Kustov

We have been talking about working together for a while and finally had a chance to arrange a photoshoot!

Honestly, it was amazing. Tony was on location on time, had so many great ideas that we managed to work on throughout the day. It was quite cold outside (-2!), however we both managed to brace the cold and got some brilliant images!

Tony is professional, easy going, very friendly and respectful photographer and creative. I really like his photography and editing style and am very happy that we got to work together and have a few laughs over the day.

Highly recommend him and can't wait to work together again, hopefully sooner than later!
