Had my first shoot with bear today and it was an absolute pleasure, he made me feel completely at ease from the first moment, his pre shoot comms are on point and his ideas are fantastic, even braving the cold snowy rain today, he’s an absolute delight and am looking forward to working with him again 😊

Awesome first shoot and urban adventure with Johnny! Such a lovely, respectful and talented dude. A joy to shoot with and meet! If you have the opportunity to work with him, don’t let it slip. Very much looking forward to seeing the images we produced and hope to work with him again in the future 🖤🤘🏻

Had a fab 1st shoot with Johnny last night 😁 Pre comms were perfect, we both discussed what we wanted from the shoot and Johnny was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Lots of laughs and lots of fab images taken, which I can't wait to see the final product of 👌

100% would highly recommend working with Johnny if you get the chance, extremely creative and lots of fun. Can't wait for us to shoot again ❤️

First time shooting with Jonny, but hopefully not the last. I met Jonny at a charity event organized by Chris Barral. He came across as confident, with a great sense of humor, and opened to ideas. I literally grabbed a chance to work with him in the last few minutes. and in 10 minutes we created crazy portrait series with a story, it was so much fun.

Highest recommendation possible - he knows his craft -and he also sent me the fastest feedback - I was absolutely amazed.

Thank you so much indeed.

A shoot with this gentleman is a must fantastic personality and our ideas just bounced off each other which resulted in some amazing shots. Highly recommended and thanks for a great shoot

I had a very brief but very awesome shoot with Johnny at one of Chris Barral's networking events on Greenheye farm, as part of a charitable cause.

We covered some outdoor shots on a tractor, and soon after on a small abandoned boat; the latter of which I struggled to get out of, but one of the farmers very kindly fork-lifted me down to safety (first time experience there!).

All part of an amazing, successful day!

Johnny was great company, got some amazing images and was a pleasure to work with; I'll happily work with him again and recommend him to others.

Thank you Johnny! :)

First shoot with Johnny at a charity event.

Johnny is hilarious and a pleasure to work with!

Albeit we only had 30 mins together it was still fab and we got some fabulous (risqué!) images inside a barn.

I have already organised shooting with Johnny again :)

100% recommend to all!

Thanks Johnny x

First time working with Karnival aka Johnny and I'm hoping it won't be the last.

Johnny signed up to attend our charity event @ Greenheys Farm on behalf of the Alzheimer's Society and he made the event better by him being there.

Good pre event communication.

Worked with most if not all of the models present.

Used initiative when needed to rescue damsels in distress.

Has a great eye for a shot and opportunities that present to gain that unique image.

This is a fab photographers, get this one booked!

Highly Recommended.

Thank you for another wonderful day x

Excellent communication, direction and laughs with Johnny, he brought out a glimpse of my personality, the poses flowed in the chilly open air.

A gentleman and has a great eye for backdrops outdoors.

I left feeling exhilarated.

Looking forward to our next shoot together.

Thank you so much.

Applied to a last minute shoot with Johnny. He responded pretty much straight away. The pre communication was so swift and easy. We arranged the shoot within half an hour and I was ready and at the location within 2 hours.

The shoot was so easy and flowed so well. Communication was faultless. He’s a super friendly guy and I felt very comfortable. We got some video footage and some stills. Shoot was wrapped up in an hour and happy with what I saw off the back of the camera. Although it was freezing, I had a great time. Very much look forward to shooting with him again soon!

Highly recommended! 💙

I have had two shoot now with Karnival and it had been nothing but a real pleasure meeting and working with him, from the first communication to the shoot it self very professional, easy going, fun to be around, creating beautiful photography as a result!

Highly recommend!!!!

Today was my first shoot with Karnival, it was also one of my favourite shoots ever to date.

Johnny is an absolute delight to work with, even allowing me to climb all over him to get to some high spots for some more adventures shots which I can't wait to see!

He made sure I was comfortable though out, clearly thought out the shots and locations and knows how to manipulate the light to capture something really unique.

I really hope it's the first of many and I can not wait to see what he's captured!

I highly recommend him to models of all levels.

Thanks again for a great shoot!

Jayne Horror

Such a lovely shoot! Such a nice, happy, bubbly respectful man, has a very good eye for the lense, and came out with some amazing shots! He was good at communicating his ideas from the start, which made everything an ease. I look forward to working again!
