I had yet another absolutely fantastic photo shoot with Wayne! :D After the sheer amount of success of our first shoot together, I was very excited to see what creative ideas we could come up with the next time around... and of course, despite the masses of productivity we had on shoot number 1; we still managed to smash an abundance of sets completely different to what we had done before. Just when you think you couldn't possibly beat what you created together. :P

Wayne is a truly creative photographer, so when we were out shooting on location at Joel Hicks photographic, he constantly had his eyes peeled for the best opportunities to create magic with his rope-work and also get nice lighting. I will always vouch that it isn't easy balancing flash with the sun - especially when the sun is changing it's mind literally every two seconds! But Wayne managed it beautifully once again, he lit the shots with atmosphere and seized the opportunity when it arose... No holding back, he is really passionate about his work and this rubs off on you as a model so much which means you really do form an awesome team. :)

I am in awe at how he can produce decorative rope art in no time at all too, he doesn't just use his imagination with the composition and lighting of the shot but he will put immense levels of effort into styling it just right and taking care to make it look WOW!

As always, I received pure professionalism from Wayne. :) He's a really sweet person with a whole load of respect for his models... we shot some more suspension work which is more physically demanding than the average shots but Wayne had tabs on my comfort at all times, just like on our previous shoot. He asks after the models and always shows the best levels of courtesy and etiquette for a positive rapport. I have very high regards for him and will recommend him time and time again. :)

Thank you very much Wayne, it was one more sensational shoot and the pictures are sublime! You Rock!

I had a very fun first shoot with Wayne recently. I always love modelling for shibari and rope bondage, and I felt very comfortable modelling for Wayne as he clearly knew what he was doing with the ropes! He's very friendly and respectful too, so I enjoyed working with him.

The pictures from the shoot look great too!

I can't wait to work with Wayne again sometime. :) Highly recommended!

I had a fabulous shoot on Sunday with Wayne! Despite the studio getting confused with times and starting an hour later, Wayne handled it so well!

We had a wonderful shoot at the shoreditch apartment and Wayne brought along a GORGEOUS corset which I thoroughly enjoyed wearing. We covered the corset, also did some shots out on the street and got creative with lighting on the roof top and did some art nudes!

Wayne was great to work with and brought along some yummy snacks, which always goes down well.

A very interesting and friendly person and kind enough to help me out with my 3 wheeled suitcase!

I've already seen some of the images and I'm over the moon with them.

Highly recommend and I hope we shoot again :)

It was certainly worth waiting for to shoot with Wayne, a very pleasant and interesting gentleman. Wayne was clear about what he wanted ensuring that it was also ok for me. The images are really interesting, loving the darkness. The studio was delightful with the owners being very friendly and helpful.

Wayne and I narrowly missed the opportunity to work together back in November of last year when my available dates during a visit to Joel Hicks Photographic just didn't match to his... but they do say that good things come to those who wait and that we did and BOOM! This month we finally got to shoot and it was just packed with awesomeness: It's the first time Wayne and I have worked together but I certainly look forward to doing it again in the future. :) He applies truly artistic quality to his work and you can appreciate the care and detail he puts into making it perfect for the image, this refers to both his skills in doing the rope work and then the way he paints the image with light and carefully composes it to create beauty/drama/a story. We covered a lot of ground around the location for sure, Wayne has this x-ray vision for fantastic shot opportunities which made certain that each stop we made was uber productive!

Most of the sets were based around ropework ideas - Wayne communicated perfectly with me beforehand so I knew what to pack and prepare for. He was 1000% professional on the day and really made certain I was comfortable: anything that involved suspension or limbs tied to something Wayne was constantly making certain that I was okay and not experiencing discomfort. I cannot stress how highly I recommend Wayne for other models due to be shooting with him/in the process of arranging a shoot. :) He's totally respectful, shows courtesy with his etiquette and very easy going which makes striking a rapport no trouble at all. As well as getting plenty done, we also got on profoundly and did gallons of chattering in the switch-over between and during sets. It makes every ounce of different when a shoot can be a laugh as well, the time feels like it's flying by! :D

Wayne has since edited some of the images we did and they are utterly fabulous! They really speak for themselves in terms of how much passion he puts into giving his work that creative merit. For a first time working together I think we really nailed some amazing stuff and I certainly look forward to the next opportunity. :)

Thanks again Wayne!

! Despite we met and worked with Wayne for the 1st time at LewisLloyd organised studio shoot, I can definitely say it was really easy to catch up with his techniques, ideas and guidance. Wayne got on so well with various images and styles, had also provided clear direction of his ideas and concept, as a result our creative collaboration made up really stunning shots. Fantastic photographer and very nice person at the same time. ! Wayne is very attentive to details, makes sure the model is comfortable at the set, what is always a great cause for better images and having nice time on the set at the same time. Highly recommended !

I had the pleasure of working with Wayne on Saturday at a Lewislloyd studio day! He is a really lovely friendly guy, easy to work with and a fantastic photographer. We captured some fantastic images together and I would love to work with him again! Highly recommended :D

Had a great shoot with Wayne last Monday.

He was professional, enthusiastic and had a interesting concept in mind.

He plays such attention to detail that you know the shots taken are going to look fantastic.

Looking forward to working with him again. Would definitely recommend

I had a shoot with Wayne at the weekend. We shot in a lovely studio in London. We mainly shot ropework. Wayne was professional throughout and made sure he didn't hurt me in any way and I was happy with everything we did. He was very friendly and I felt comfortable working with him.

Wayne was easy to arrange a shoot with and easy to shoot with. I would definitely work with him again and would happily recommend him to others. I look forward to seeing the images we produced together :)

I worked with Wayne a few days ago while I was in London.

Wayne booked myself and Zara Watson for two hours and the focus was on rope/ bondage shots.

I don't do a lot of rope work so it always takes a little bit of time to adjust to the 'touchy feely' nature of the genre (very different to normal shoots) but I soon eased into it and enjoyed the challenge of the rope work.

Wayne did some really cool rope work on us and it reminded me how much I enjoy this genre when done well- which it was. :)

The time went by very fast so we only managed two different rope 'looks' but they images look fab and I would very happily work with Wayne again for sure. :)

Had the pleasure of working with Wayne at my place with Artemis Fauna.

Wayne's communication with me before the shoot was great. He also explained what he wanted to do on the shoot very well. We did rope work and the images I have seen from the shoot look great :) Wayne was relaxed, friendly and easy to talk to and get on with.

Would recommend Wayne and have no hesitation in working with him again. Thanks a million, Zara
