Toby messaged me a few weeks ago to ask me if I would be interested in modelling for an Alphonse Mucha 1902 tableaux inspired 'Moon and Star Shoot'

The pre coms were exceptionally detailed and thorough in explaining his idea for the shoot and the four different characters he wanted to create.

When I turned up to the shoot in his home studio, Toby was very warm and welcoming, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable and he was accommodating and respected my privacy when changing for looks.

Toby is extremely talented and creative; I cannot express how much he inspired me through the amount of preparation work he had put into our Moon and Star Shoot, with the props and costumes he made for each character.

I would recommend working with Toby, he is very professional and friendly, he gave really good direction, and I adore the final images. I received two links from our shoot within 24 hours with Toby's chosen edits and images that I was free to choose from to ask for my own edits.

Thank you for an incredibly motivational Shoot!

A fabulous shoot with Toby today he was just lovely and very good at what he does. Toby was available to start early and was very warm and welcoming and had a sheet full of ideas of what he wanted to shoot. I was highly impressed from the start pre comms were fabulous his attitude was very warm and I felt very comfortable throughout the shoot. Sadly it went to fast :( I was enjoying myself and the images were breath taking

But hopefully we get to shoot together again soon.

Toby is highly recommended by me of course

And thankyou so much for today!!!!!!

I had a great shoot with Toby. He had a lot prepared ready to bring to the shoot you could tell he put in a lot of effort and done his research.

He had some great ideas and the pics came back very quickly and well edited. I ended up with some fantastic images for my portfolio

I would highly recommend.

Thanks Toby!

Toby was a true gentleman and took care of me throughout the shoot. He provided me with my space to get changed in and was respectful throughout. He had plenty of ideas for us to work with and we ended up with some truly fantastic shots, allowing me to explore ideas and interests I had as well! His talent behind the camera is matched only by his talent in editing. I'd recommend him to professionals and amateurs alike!

I had a great shoot with Toby yesterday at his home studio. Everything was really well organised, Toby had included a mood board in his casting and had thought out all the different styles he wanted to shoot.

He is a really easy going person to work with, made me feel relaxed straight away, and I had a lot of fun during the shoot. Toby is also very good with ideas for poses, and I learned a few new things on this shoot.

He supplied lots of good coffee, and even home made scones, and has already sent me most of the images - what more could you ask for? :)

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Toby to any model, and really hope that I get to work with him again in the future. x

I had such a wonderful shoot with Toby yesterday in his home studio.

He was fantastic during pre-shoot comms and was an utter delight throughout the shoot, we tried a variety of different styles to get images that would not just be beneficial to our respective portfolios but would also be fun to shoot! I really appreciate that he showed me the images as we shot together, something I feel is really important on a collaborative project. The raw images were sent through very quickly for my consideration and were of such good quality it's hard to whittle them down to a final set of favourites!

I'd definitely work with Toby again!

Had a great shoot with Toby this morning at his home studio. He had loads of great ideas and kept me going with cups of tea and lunch (!). We did a variety of different styles with different lighting set ups and he was great at giving direction when needed. Would definitely work with again! Toby was lovely and kind and a great conversationalist who put up with my endless babble! He was always making sure I was happy and enjoying the shoot, and we took breaks when needed. Can't wait to see the images!

Thanks for a great shoot :)

He was very imaginative and used the lighting to great effect.Toby is easy to get on with, friendly and very creative, We combined our ideas and came up with some great shots. Ask this guy to take your pictures. He's really good.
