References for WayneS

Saracen House Studio

I'm a little behind on references, so this is a multi-reference reference for Wayne.

Genuinely one of the kindest and loveliest photographers out there right now, I've loved working with Wayne ans watching his skills really flourish along with his pure passion for making beautiful images. He's supremely organised and prepared and is always welcome at Saracen House Studio.

(ps he also brings chocolate, but you didn't hear that from me)

Where do I even begin?

It's very rare to meet a creative like Wayne, and even though it was only 2 hours that we shot for, he certainly left a lasting impression on me.

Wayne has a calming presence, very relaxed shooting and working style which would leave any model at ease and focused on throwing some shapes!! He's not only extremely likeable, kind, funny and friendly but he is also capable of taking a seriously good photo!!

You can tell it is a passion of his that runs deep and it shows not just in our photos but all across his portfolio and he has a fantastic body of work!!

So, given all of the above, I would encourage any model to work with Wayne given the opportunity, you'd be kicking yourself if you didn't!!

Thank you ever so much Wayne for a fantastic experience,

Can't wait for us to cross paths again,

I had my first shoot with Wayne, who kindly booked me on my studio day at Saracen House.

The time flew by as we got shooting, I could easily shoot with Wayne all day. He is such a laugh and I didn't want it to be over! He is professional, respectful and a pleasure to be around.

His pre-comms was great, we spoke a while before the day and discussed outfits and ideas prior. He is enthusiastic and knows his stuff, he came loaded with a wide range of accessories and props, he probably has more than me!

I loved every second of the shoot and I would highly recommend shooting with Wayne if you haven't already! Especially if you want an easy going, down to earth gentleman to shoot epic ideas with!

Thanks for a great shoot

I don’t want to recommend as I would much rather keep this amazing photographer to myself, but I guess I should be honest. He’s amazing!

Great pre communication

Bought chocolate and sweets (most importantly)

Great conversation and sense of humour.

Engaging during the shoot without micro posing.

Lighting pro and the back of camera images looked great.

Would highly recommend.

TBG Studio

Wayne arrived at the studio well in advance of the scheduled time, displaying punctuality and professionalism. He brought along a diverse array of props, demonstrating his commitment to creating a unique and visually compelling set for his shoot. His preparation and attention to detail were evident from the outset.

He came equipped with a well-thought-out mood board, providing a concise and organized overview of the desired aesthetic and creative direction. This level of preparedness not only facilitated a smooth workflow but also contributed to the overall success of the session.

Throughout the shoot, Wayne maintained a balanced and deliberate pace, emphasizing quality over quantity. It was evident that Wayne valued the collaborative process and worked seamlessly with the model to bring his vision to life.

It was a pleasure to host him at my studio, and I look forward to his next visit.

Had a great first shoot with Wayne. Pre Comms were briliant . Very welcoming and friendly ! Very funny too, found myself laughing alot throughout the shoot. Kind and very thoughtful, it was extremely cold but he kept thinking about the best ways for me to not freeze to death! So some of the plans had to be adjusted to which I am extremely greatful for. Highly recommend ! Easy to chat to and down to earth

I had my second shoot with Wayne at Aura studio on Saturday. As before Wayne's pre communications were fabulous, and he arrived on the day armed with an iPad full of inspiration images and bags full of accessories / fashion items which really enhanced the styling for our sets.

It's always an absolute pleasure working with Wayne, he has a great sense of humour and yet still remains very professional making the shoot an absolute breeze.

We flew through 9 sets in 4 hours, every one we absolutely nailed - I could not love our results anymore!

If you are lucky enough to work with Wayne, I recommend jumping at the chance. He's a really talented photographer with a great eye for styling.

10/10 - totally recommended by me and hope to work together again in the future :-)

Elle Baldwinson

I worked with Wayne for the first time yesterday after hoping to shoot with him for so long! I had heard so many great things about Wayne and had seen his work progress over time into amazing creations so I was really excited to shoot with him.

Wayne was such a lovely person and a pleasure to be around,he was prepared with a great moodboard and brought the most incredible accessories and clothing for the shoot,yet he was also really relaxed and laid back. We put together some great styling and went through multiple different looks alongside chatting a lot and eating amazing snacks that Wayne kindly provided!

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me why I do this job and I love it so much,working with great people like Wayne and putting together such cool & interesting looks! I’m really looking forward to seeing how the shots come out! I could not recommend Wayne enough and I really hope to shoot with him again in the near future!

The Lincoln Photography Studio

Wayne hired the studio today for a 4 hour shoot with Elle Baldwinson. It was great meeting Wayne for the first time. At short notice, I'd asked him to slip his booking by 30 mins as I had a Christmas shoot just before his booking. He did this for me with no problem at all.

Wayne had brouhgt snacks for Elle - loads of Brownie points for this!. Even more because he gave me a bottle of Prosecco! An absolute gent - highly recommended!

I was luckly enough to work with Wayne once again, this time on a concept that was like nothing I have ever done before (which is saying something)

Wayne never leaves a stone unturned with his shoots including atmosphere, planning, styling and it doesnt go unnoticed.

I LOVE working with Wayne and am so grateful to be a model that Wayne chooses to work with.

A great guy to spend time with as well as a talented photographer.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Had the absolute please of working with Dean on a recent studio event with Saracen House studio. We had discussed prior to the event ideas that Wayne wanted to work on which was great! Wayne wanted to work on some portraits images and arrived with lots of gorgeous jewellery accessories for us to work with…I was like a magpie with all the sparkles ✨ we had a great few hours and I’m confident we smashed the looks together & excited to see our results! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I would highly recommend anyone to work with Wayne and I honestly can’t wait to work together again soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a pleasure working with Wayne for the second time, I am indeed so lucky!

Wayne always arrives very prepared, which I absolutely love. I like that he also has ideas and concepts in his mind that he wants to try as it gives me a target to aim for. Wayne is also a very intelligent and he's a true gentleman.

Thank you so much for a enjoyable shoot. Looking forward to seeing your edits!

100% recommend working with Wayne if you get a chance.

Wow what a fabulous first shoot with Wayne! I’m stunned that he travelled all the way to my home studio but I’m chuffed he did! An excellent photographer and lovely guy to work with. We got so many looks working with a mixture of both natural and studio lighting. Wayne was lovely to work with, very personable and down to earth. The whole shoot felt relaxed and I was surprised at how fast it flew by! I would absolutely love to work with Wayne again and I highly recommend him to models of all levels. Absolutely superb! Thankyou so much for an amazing shoot Wayne!! Xx

Thanks!!

Ah what a lovely man! We had two hours at my studio day at Saracen and time flew by. He came with a little mood board which I think we worked brilliantly with. We got some great shots together- definitely recommended and hope to shoot again sometime :)

SamJaz

Wayne was a pleasure to work with! Great comms, relaxed nature and bought snacks! Highly recommend x

Ashleigh Rae

Wayne came along for my studio day at Saracen House, and what a BLAST we had.

We had a chat before the shoot, and I was provided with a gorgeous mood board with Wayne’s ideas and goals.

I knew as soon as I saw the inspiration board that we would be on the same page and I really looked forward to working together. Shoot day arrived and I was not disappointed!

Wayne is an awesome photographer, but also a really lovely person too.

My only question is why on earth has it taken us so long to arrange a shoot!

I LOVED working with Wayne, the time just went by far too quickly.

Loving the results and cannot wait until next time.

Thank you so so much for coming along!

Highly recommended :-)
