I have just made a new account so figured I should post a new recommendation!

Ive shot with Tony several times over the years and hes always been one of the easiest photographers to work with! Hes really funny and easy to get along with, treats you with respect and puts you at ease straight away. Tony always has great ideas and is also always eager to hear your ideas and work with them too. 100% recommended and hope to see you again soon Tony :)

Thank goodness Tony isn’t bored of me yet haha! He took me to a fabulous location for our first outdoor shoot together.

I love urbex, graffiti, anything grungy & grimy & it was the perfect place, the only thing I struggled with was the weather. I was so cold, and it took me quite a while get into different outfits.........my fingers and brain couldn’t function very well through shivering.

Tony was such a gentleman; very patient & he could see how cold I was and suggested we stop but me being me did not want to waste the opportunity and soldiered on.

He bought me some yummy snacks and as always we created some wonderful images despite the conditions.

Thank you Tony and I can’t wait to do it again ........in Summer! Heehee

Had a second chance to shoot with Tony . Met once before in group shoot in Wales last year , and finally got a chance to work with To y again.

Pre comms were excellent , and by the time we met we were sure about our ideas and plan of the shoot .

Tony is gentlemen till bone . He made me feel absolute comfortable , amazing host and I happened to learn a lot of things from him again . He is amazing at directing you as well . He works with full effort to eat the vest image possible.

I’m very exited for the images we created and honestly don’t remember myself feeling so at ease and relaxed - defiantly one of my favorite sessions - and I was aloud to experiment with poses as well .

So dear models - if you haven’t had yet shoot with Tony, must do - highly recommended .

Thank you very much and work with you soon ;)

Yet again I had a lovely shoot with Tony, I always get super excited when we arrange to shoot as he always understands exactly what I want to achieve and manages to bring it all to life :-) all the quirky shots I envisage in my head ; he captures effortlessly.

He always goes above and beyond to make sure that you get the images you want and that you’re comfortable throughout.

He’s the perfect gentleman and wonderful host. This time we shot in his lovely home apposed to the usual studio setting. It was lovely, clean, warm & welcoming & is also an amazing set up :-)

“Thank you so much my friend, I can’t wait for our next shoot! Already started the mask! Eeeeeek”

I had my first shoot with Tony today and what a great day it was.

Tony is such a nice person, very easy to get along with too.

From the start of shoot Tony made me feel safe and relaxed. We worked though a variety of different styles and Tony is creative with ideas and also enthusiastic about the model having an input in each set.

I would definitely recommend Tony

Today I had the pleasure of working with Tony for my second ever photoshoot and I couldn't recommend him enough!

Firstly, his creativity is amazing! Not only did he help me with posing and had lots of ideas on how to make each shot unique, but he also knew the perfect angles and each image was so well-thought-out in the little time in between shots.

As well as this, he encouraged me to trust my initiative when considering poses and really made me feel confident as if I was a well experienced model! Sadly the shoot had to be cut back on time, however in the time I had with Tony he was extremely fun, very friendly, considerate and cooperative - all while having an amazing level of professionalism!

Overall I would 10000% recommend working with Tony as he creates such a fun environment to be in while achieving amazing images! I truly can't wait to work with him again!

Tony and I have shot together a number of times and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one!

He’s very friendly, attentive to the model’s needs, approachable and has a fantastic way of helping you feel comfortable in any possible situation. He doesn’t insist on anything that may be you past your comfort zone and boundaries are clearly outlined before the shoot, something I find incredibly important.

Every image Tony shoots is perfectly composed; he takes the time to perfect each shot and encourages the model’s input which is fanatastic!

I currently have another shoot booked with Tony for a few weeks time, and honestly would shoot with him every week if I could!

10/10 would recommend! 💗

I had an absolute ball shooting with Tony on a recent group shoot in Wales.

From the get go, I knew we would get on like a house on fire..

Ideas bounced around from the second we first spoke, creating Absolutely Stunning Images that I adore.

We got such a wide variety of shots in such a short time.

Tony is really down to earth, Easygoing, Relaxed and Friendly whilst maintaining a Professional Attitude and Approach.

He gives great direction as well as allowing input in to the shoot from the Model. This was Perfect for me as the ideas whizzed around my head with the Beautiful Lake and Greenery surrounding us.

All in all, a Perfect Shoot and would definitely hope to work with Tony again :D

Highly recommended by me with 5 stars ***** to both Professional and Amateurs in the industry without any hesitation.

Thanks Tony and See you again soon

Very ad hoc last minute shoot with Tony. Despite the cold we got some decent shots in a flowy dress as requested by Tony.

Pleasure.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Tony again on a group art nude day last week.

I always enjoy working with Tony, he brings such a fun and creative energy to every shoot. Incredibly friendly and such great fun to work with.

Tony was on top form as always and had some fab ideas for shots, I can’t wait to see the finished results and share some of the wonderful images we captured on the day :)

Highly recommended

Thanks again

Tony was part of our annual "Environmental Nude" group shoot and he was an absolute star.

Caring, considerate, an excellent photographer and he has a cracking sense of humour 😀

The outstanding thing about this gentleman is not just the quality of his photography but his willingness to do anything before asking the model! Like wading out into the river to make sure the model would be safe.

I learnt a lot from this proper gent as he has a wealth of experience and skill.

Look forward to organising another shoot soon Tony.

I’ve lost count of the number of shoots I’ve had with Tony. He is one of the best photographers that I work with regularly.

His ideas are fun and he always accommodates mine. Tony is extremely easy to work with, laid back, courteous.. Laughs are guaranteed.

Whether it’s studio or location I cannot recommend him enough.. new and experienced models won’t be disappointed.

Pixie Bes Tanent

I have shot with Tony a couple of times now he's always extremely professional & his images always smash my expectations.

Highly recommended for new & professional models alike

Scarlett Adelaide

Had yet another fantastic shoot with Tony on Thursday. As I’ve not shot as much this year, due to other commitments, I was a little nervous getting back into it. As usual Tony put me at ease, made me laugh and I soon got back into the swing of things! he is a fantastic photographer, great with direction and great fun to be around 🙂

Leesha ~ Lou

Had yet another wonderful shoot with Tony, think it’s our 3rd shoot now but each time we bounce around new fresh ideas. We experimented with some of the new lighting techniques that he wanted to try & I loved the concept! We got some fab images & I can’t wait to see the final edits :-) he always helps with ideas , themes and gives direction well (which is good because sometimes my mind goes blank and I look like a plank haha) no, he’s awesome & I highly recommend him & Glass Barrel Studios too! Thank you & can’t wait for our next shoot ;-)

I have arranged with Tony a very last minute shoot. Communication was quick and spot on. We didn't have much time to think of ideas but Tony was so nice and relaxed and suggested ideas all the way through the shoot. He made me feel nice and comfortable from the very first minute. He gave me time and space to feel nice and relaxed and we built up a nice atmosphere from the beginning. I can t wait to shoot with Tony again, for some more magic. Thank you
