So happy Viv got in touch with me while I was in Gloucester area for a location shoot!

This time was our first 121 shoot. We shoot in and out the beautiful Cathedral. Pre communication with Viv was excellent. We met on the day and we had a fantastic 2 hours shoot, we created many beautiful images and we had so much fun in a relaxed and positive athmosphere. I enjoyed so much my time with Viv and I can't wait to shoot with him again in a couple of weeks time :)

I absolute recommend to shoot with Viv with no hesitations! He is a lovely person, with a contagious smile and take great images. Thank you so much Viv for the great day!

I had a lovely first shoot with Viv at my studio day at Kempston Studio.

Viv was friendly, talkative and open to ideas. He has a really relaxed and calm nature which made him very easy to work with. He was also incredibly respectful throughout the shoot. Viv was happy to share ideas of his own, but was also open to any suggestions/ideas I had.

We captured some lovely images and I’m thrilled with the results I’ve seen so far!

Thanks for a lovely a shoot.

I look forward to shooting again in the near future :-)

I had a lovely time shooting with Viv at my Kempston studio day. Pre comms went smoothly. Viv responds to messages very promptly. Nothing to fault. He arrived on time on the day. Making full use of the variety of props Kempston has to offer. Experimented with three different backdrops. Viv's attitude was professional throughout. Very polite and respectful. Overall I would recommend Viv and would gladly work with him again. Thank you for the support.

I shot with Viv during my first ever tour and it went so well! The communication was brilliant and we had everything planned in advance. He met me outside the studio and we got along immediately. He is a lovely person and great company.

He came to the shoot very prepared and had printed out photos of the outfits he wanted to use. This was so helpful as it meant we could decide on the next look without me having to empty my whole suitcase!

The shoot itself was a lot of fun and it throughly enjoyed it. The time flew by!

The photos I’ve seen look amazing

I would 10000% shoot with him again. Highly recommended

Viv joined for a Workshop day at HappyJack studio in Birmingham yesterday morning. I was happy to finally meet him as I have been following his work on here for a while.

Viv was professional all the way through, respectful of model and other photographers. He was showing me the images from the back of the camera and they looked beautiful. Gentlemen, easy to work with, smiley and friendly. I would love to work with him again and I reccomend him 100% to other creatives. Thank you Viv for coming along yesterday and for the great time! :)

It was my first time working with Viv. I was working as a model at a group shoot at Alastair Curril studio. I had found out the day before from my model friend that Viv had booked us for our coming duo tour in the summer so it was nice to meet him beforehand. He is really friendly and chatty and I love the images he has uploaded from the evening. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to seeing him again in the summer.

My first shoot of 2024 and 2nd with Viv. Pre.shoot comms were excellent and we worked on a 1970's theme. Viv is really easy going, has a great sense of humour and works quickly. He is very creative and has loads of brilliant ideas. He is very respectful and will not push limits. The shoot was very enjoyable and produced some great images. I am looking forward to working with Viv again. Thanks for a great shoot.

Another enjoyable shoot with Viv last Saturday at Betty Noir studios. Also my first shoot of 2024! Viv and I get on so well, the conversation is great, and the shoots are relaxed and fun. Viv is always ready, organised and has good pre comms as well. We have a good professional friendship. Viv comes out with new and creative ideas every shoot too and I've NEVER found a shoot to be samey with Viv! This time I was even on a mock up magazine cover for one of the sets. Viv brings ideas like this to the shoot and props as well. I really enjoy our time together and the images are a high quality standard as well as some silly ones as we don't take ourselves too seriously! I look forward to shooting again with Viv this year and I would definitely recommend him to other models :)

Thanks Viv x

Another fabulous shoot with Viv, this time we returned to Betty Noir for the second time for a circus/christmassy theme, which the studio is ideal for!

Viv came well prepared with a shoot plan so everything was very clear in terms of what we were aiming to do. Viv's ideas were original as always, he seems to have endless ideas for his photography which I find admirable.

This time Viv was multi-tasking; he set a timer on his camera and joined me on 'my' side of the camera. It was really impressive to see a photographer work in this way, and I felt the resultant images were very interesting and eye-catching.

I always enjoy working with Viv, he is very down-to-earth and we have a good laugh! I look forward to the next time we work together :)

Viv attended my self hosted event 'Clash of the Queens'. As always, he is a delight to work with.

He has a lovely sense of humour and works very well in group settings too. He got along very well with his group and made everyone feel at ease.

I would highly recommend working with him and I am looking forward to shooting with him again hopefully in 2024! :)

Retro Rob

Absolutely brilliant photographer!

I was delighted to be able to work with Viv again at F8 Studios on my Retro Rob Tour.

Having worked with Viv before I knew not only would it be a laugh and lovely to see Viv but also some cracking images at the end.

Viv has a great eye for a shot and captures some superb angles and gives a feel to each image that I love.

Time once again flew by but looking at the back of the camera there are some superb shots that I look forward to adding to my portfolio thank you Viv for a superb shoot looking forward to our next.

Another cracker with Viv! We shot at Betty Noir, one of our favourite studios together. The shoot went really well and was lots of fun. This time we shot with the christmas balloon set, which was a good giggle and created some festive imagery. We also shot with the Rococo set, which was boudoir, gowns and lingerie. I liked some of Vivs creative ideas here with angles to shoot myself laying on the bed, shooting that set from above wasn't something I had thought of! We also combined using my new nautical pin up dress which I've owned for months and only shot in once with the moon set with an old song 'On the good ship lollipop'

and used Hannahs lollipop prop for this! Also lots of fun on the mermaid set too.

As usual the time completely flew, and we could of carried on. Another shoot next year to finished the ideas we had and I can't wait. Viv as always was great to be around, and an absolute pleasure to shoot with.

I highly recommend Viv and can't wait to see him again in January.

Thank you Viv for a great shoot :)

JIX Studios

Viv and Eirwen L'amour Creed graced the studio today for the first time together.

Sadly I wasn't available, but my glamorous assistant John (Orpentor) oversaw things for me as he often does. He had nothing but high praise for both of them, and that's all I can ask for.

We hope both Viv and Eirwen enjoyed their time at the studio, and look forward to their next visit. Thoroughly recommended!

I had yet another wonderful shoot with Viv yesterday at Dracup’s Cottage in Bridgnorth.

I was so glad Viv was able to shoot with me at the location before it closed, and I knew he’d have his own unique take on the place. Viv is such a creative photographer and he usually has some exciting new take on a theme, or gizmo in his bag of tricks!

Viv is, quite simply, a delight to work with. He’s so very kind and considerate and such a lot of fun to be around. I always look forward to my shoots with him as I know they’ll be as relaxed and funny as they are productive!

I’d recommend Viv to other models 100% and I look forward to working with him again in the New Year. Thanks so much, as always, Viv 😊

Rebecca Perry

I've been so impressed by Viv from start to finish. :)

His pre-shoot comms are always perfect, from planning what we wanted to shoot to where we were going to shoot and directions whilst on set. Everything was clearly presented, messages were professional, warm & friendly, and Viv's years of experience working with a variety of models was evident. On our shoot day Viv was friendly and chatty and he couldn't have done more to make me feel at ease.

I would absolutely recommend Viv to all Models and look forward to creating with him again in the near future.

Thank you Viv for a productive and very positive shoot

Kindest regards

Great to have Viv at the studio again shooting with Rebecca Perry (pregnancy shoot) and at all times Viv was respectful to Rebecca and mindful of her condition with plenty of breaks and no pressure to shoot.

Viv knows how to use his camera and together they worked through some classic baby bump images.

Easy to recommend Viv again

I worked with Viv again recently, when he attended a Witches Coven themed event in Gloucester.

The event was a lot of fun, and it was great to have Viv on board creating some lovely shots and making use of all three models, and various outfits and sets.

Emma Jayne

Viv attended a 'Witches Coven' event that myself, Holly and Mel ran yesterday afternoon. Viv and I have worked together a good few times now; it is always a joy!

Viv was great fun to work with as he always is and had some fab ideas for the different sets we did. I like that Viv is keen to capture a variety of moods and emotions; not necessarily the 'moody' witchy vibe that was the theme for the day.

I really liked the results on back of camera, and look forward to seeing more from the day!

Thanks so much Viv, until next time! :)
