Yet again had a fab shoot. Today was different though, id expressed my interest in doing a latex shoot as ive never had the privilege, between my last reference and now Tony had set up a latex shoot for me with another fab model too :)

The model i worked along side was awesome and such a lovely person, and the latex designer is a genius, all picked and organised by Tony.

Yet again he was a dream to work with, giving direction when needed and cracking jokes to keep the mood light and fun.

I couldn't class working with Tony as work more like a mess about with a mate!

Thanks yet again and ill see you on the 28th!

Would I recommend Tony......Hell yes, you would be stupid to turn down a shoot from this gent!.

Ive shot with Tony quite a few times now and ive loved every time, hes such a gentleman always making sure you are comfortable and happy with what he is doing, hes great at giving direction and also listens very well to any input of the models, often asking if there was anything I wanted to do.

Tony goes through a quick run down of whats going to happen in the shoot, including any of your own ideas. He also shows you every shot taken to ensure you are happy and is more than wiling to do a shot over and over again (especially if a model is a pain in the arse like me) to get it perfect.

He's extremely open to ideas and so easy to get along with, his pre comms are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble (last time included my young daughter, this time giving camera advice to my partner oh and getting me published).

Book him now!!! hes got great creativity and least of all a fab personality......think ive rambled on enough now.

Thanks for today Tony....see you next week :)

Your friend Rhi xx

I met Tony on a rather cold and wet shoot in Liverpool - what a totally amazing guy!! A true gentleman who put me at ease from the start, as a newbie he went out of his way to help me and explain things - nothing was too much trouble! From the day I got some brilliant images, loads of advice and someone I know i can go to for help at any time. I have already recommended Tony to a friend for a shoot!

A big thank you!!

What a guy!

I worked with Tony today in Liverpool after waiting a whole year to finally meet!

Well Tony certainly didn't disapoint! Had such a great fun shoot! Tony was so friendly and professional! I felt so relaxed.

And now we have stunning images! Would recommend 100%

Thanks again :) x

Today was the second shoot ive had with Tony and I had such a good time, just like I did the first time we shot. Tony had arranged for me to shoot with another model (who was lovely) and a makeup artist (who was also fab).

During the shoot Tony made sure both us models were warm enough, hydrated and felt comfortable, he kept the atmosphere calm and happy with the conversation easily flowing.

Tony is an absolute gem of a photographer and I love working with him as he always ensures that the model is comfortable and feels safe and happy with everything that is going on. He is so easy to get on with and to talk too :)

He also showed my daughter around the studio when she showed up with my other half, and took some snaps of her as i had expressed it was something she so badly wanted which was lovely.

I would highly recommend tony to anyone and i can wait to work with him again on the 27th!

Thanks for a fab shoot Tony, putting and awsome team together and making one little girl hay and feel very special :) xx

Today I had a brilliant first shoot with tony today and had the honour of bein his 250th model :).

Tony is the perfect prossional and such a lovely friendly guy, extremely good at giving me direction and happy to re-do any shots I thought wernt quite right.

He was extremely concious of my needs regarding refreshments (offering plenty of brews) snacks, warmth and personal space. He made me feel very welcome and safe. He is very clear in the shots he wants and he gains them effortlessly, I feel we got some great shots.

He also ensures that the model is completely happy with ALL the photos taken and makes sure the model has the shots they wanted to gain from the shoot.

I had a fab time and highly reccomend tony.

That is for a fab shoot tony, I can't wait to work with you again :)

Had another great shoot with Tony last week. A pleasure to work with as always, and always pleased with the results. We had great fun working together, Tony is professional throughout yet has a great sense of humour and makes the shoot setting a very relaxed place to be. I hope to have many more shoots with him in the future.

Had my second shoot with Tony a couple of days ago and I really hope it won't be the last!

He is awesomely talented and his enthusiasm is so contagious. I love his quirky approach and his willingness to experiment with unusual and somewhat wacky techniques. He's not only a skilled photographer, but a true gentleman and a very cool guy all round. Tony gave consistent reassurance throughout the shoot and his attentiveness really helps to instil confidence in his models. Technically, he really knows his stuff and I learnt a lot from him during the few hours we spent together.

A complete and utter delight to work with! Thank you again Tony :-)

I had a fantastic shoot with Tony on Tuesday. Being fairly new to Alternative modelling and being a tad nervous, Tony made me feel really at ease very quickly.

He had lots of ideas and was equally happy to listen to my ideas too. Tony was very professional but we also had a good giggle as well, which I loved.

I have recieved all of the images from the shoot and I couldn't be happier. They are gorgeous.

I would definitely recommend Tony to anyone, I had such a good time and so happy with the results. Thanks Tony :)

Another fabulous shoot today... As always Tony was very courteous and good fun to shoot with. He is definitely one of the best photographers I work with, cannot fault him at all.

I always know we'll have a laugh and get some fantastic images.

My ideas are always listened to and Tony helps me achieve the best results.

I'm always looking forward to the next shoot.

Thanks Tony x

I hate to butt kiss, but as ever Tony was a joy to work with! He's not just a photographer, he's a friend. He puts the effort in when something isn't quite working out, and is patient, cheerful and is pretty much on the same wavelength as I am! He also puts up with my ridiculous perfectionism which is a skill all in itself ;) He's brilliant! Do work with him, you won't regret it!

I have worked with Tony several times. I have seen him work as a photographer and as a tutor to new photographers and models. In both capacities he is professional, has a fantastic eye for a shoot both technically and creatively and is a fantastic person who puts his models and other members of the shoot first. He is always on time, keeps up to date with mua, models and team members, very organised and I highly recommend him to both new and experienced models. Looking forward to working with him again.

As usual working with Tony was an absolute ball. I never EVER get bored, and every time we wind down we end up having more ideas and get shooting some more! He's such a genuinely sweet, funny and kind person who also happens to be a brilliant photographer- I now have tons of awesome shots to use and am truly delighted with them ♥ Always recommended!

It was my first time shooting with Tony on Monday. He was absolutely amazing, he straight away made me feel at ease by talking, laughing and making me feel at home in his studio. I had such a great shoot with him, the pictures are stunning and came back so quick and he communicated really well before and after shoots. During the shoots he gave me guidance as I was feeling a little nervous as it was only my second shoot, with his help I felt straight away more confident and he was extremely supportive.

I would definitely recommend Tony, I have already booked my next shoot with him.

Thank you Tony

I was nervous about meeting alt girls extraordinaire head honcho Tony but he immediately put me at ease. He is so friendly and awesome to shoot with. He knows some cracking locations and knows his way around a camera too! Really enjoyed our location shoot together, I think we created some brilliant images, which will fingers crossed be published soon. Thanks for an ace day and I hope to shoot again soon xx

Another amazing day with Tony, I have already raved about him on here, he is not only a fantastic photographer and director but also a really really decent person and a dear friend. Tony is always happy to fit me in last minute as I am pretty spontaneous, this time we ended up in Formby and saw 8 red squirrals! and also puts up with me when I'm being a pain in the arse.

I love Tony we have a great giggle plus get some amazing pictures at the same time.

Had a fantastic shoot with Tony yesterday!

Pre-communication was excellent and he even came to pick me up last minute when my travel plans fell through. His personality is warm, bubbly and grounded, and I felt completely at ease in his care. During the shoot, he was an utter professional and demonstrated a strong creative flair for working the right angles and lighting to get top results. His direction was superb but he was also flexible to work around my ideas.

It was an absolute pleasure to shoot with this talented photographer and I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again. I am positive he can add something unique to any portfolio.

Thanks very much Tony, I can’t wait to show off our pics!! 
