I worked with Will at Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday to shoot some costume/ cosplay images for his portfolio. Pre-Comms was easy flowing and he gave me a really good idea of what he wanted, on the day he arrived early at the location and was very friendly and easy to talk to! We discussed the outfits/ looks in more detail and went through a range of poses/ levels across the location. He has a great eye for detail and knows exactly what he wants which is really refreshing! The images I've seen so far look fantastic and overall it was an excellent shoot! Thankyou so much for a fab day, highly recommend to new or experienced models :D

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Will came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Em Yang on a cosplay genre.

It was a pleasure to welcome Will to Basford. All pre comms were great and he made everything very easy to organise. He arrived on time for the shoot with everything that he needed. After a quick tour around he began shooting with Em.

Throughout the shoot Will was completely respectful of our location and made sure to ask if he needed anything.

Will is polite, friendly and easy to get along with and we would absolutely recommend him to other studios and models. Thank you Will, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

My first shoot with Will during my studio day at Bodyline.

Pre comms were great and they really helped me prepare for the shoot. Will was very sweet and polite on first meeting and also throughout the shoot, really easy to talk to also. Will was confident in using the sets and the lighting and knew what sort of style shot he was after and when showing me on the back of the camera this really gave me confidence in my poses and his framing. I felt totally comfortable around Will and as the shoot progressed I think our creativity grew as did our understanding of one another and poses.. two hours wasn't long enough as we started to flow so did the time. I'd totally recommend Will and would certainly hope to work with him again in the future. Thank you!

My first shoot with Will but from start to finish it was lovely. His pre shoot communications were fantastic and well set out. He arrived on time and was raring to go, so after a brief tour of the property we jumped straight into it. Will was perfectly happy to listen to my ideas and took them into account, between us we captured some lovely images.

Conversation flowed easily and it was lovely to work with him, I'd happily work with him again.

Thankyou for a great shoot!

The Barn Studio

Another great shoot with Will, this time at night, outdoors using the hot-tub lit with some colourful lighting and the lovely and talented Lila and Fern modelling.

The preparation leading up to the shoot was excellent, with Will setting up a group gallery for sharing ideas. The night went very smoothly with Will confidently capturing the images he wanted. Many thanks for choosing to work here again Will and looking forward to further shoots with you.

Had another fabulous shoot with Will on a duo hot tub shoot at the barn Studios.

Such an easy going photographer, very enjoyable to work with and he remained professional and respectful throughout.

Full of fabulous creative ideas but also happy for us to pose freely and throw in our own ideas, working together to achieve the perfect shot!

Highly recommended to any level of model! The images are fab! And I absolutely cannot wait to work with him again. We are already discussing a third!!

Thanks again for an awesome shoot! The images are fab!! 😁

Will is such a lovely person and is very organised with pre-comms and payments.

This was our second time shooting together at The Barn Studio with my model bestie Fern. We did a late night shoot in the hot tub, working a mix of art nudes, sheer and bikini. Will was patient with the lighting setup, posing and let me be my usual silly self.

Had a wonderful time as always

Thanks!

I had a brilliant first shoot with Will at Crossroads Studio. Will had sent over ideas beforehand to give me an idea of what he was looking to create.

We went on to collaborate on concepts and Will was a pleasure to work with.

I had a great time working with Will and would recommend him to all models.

Thank you Will!

Pre comms were great and he turned up a little early, allowing us to start the shoot a bit earlier. We got some great shots and overall it was a good shoot. I highly recommend Will to any model or studio and would work with him again, thank you Will

The Barn Studio

It was a real pleasure to have Will in The Barn Studio this week, participating in the duo model studio day. Will is a calm and considerate photographer with a clear idea of the images he wants to create. He made the models feel very at ease and the shoot enjoyable for everybody involved. Thanks Will and I look forward to seeing you back at The Barn for more shoots in the future.

Had the please of working with Will on A Duo Shoot With Lila At The Barn Studios

Wills pre communication was spot on from the minute he responded! And had ideas sorted and everything locked in within a handful of messages!

On shoot he was extremely easy to work with, providing creative ideas for us to try out, as well as allowing me and Lila to do our own thing posing wise!

Was such a pleasure to work with! Very relaxed and easy to work with in his approach! But Also knows what he wants to try and capture from the shoot!

Highly recommended to any level of model! The images seen already are super! And cannot wait to work with him again!

Lila

Will is an absolute pleasure to work with both as a personality type and a creative! It’s always lovely to work with a calming person and Will was very easygoing, happy for Fern and I to take the lead with regards to poses and outfits on our duo studio day shoot at The Barn.

Really pleased with the output from what I’ve seen already. Will experimented with a couple more abstract angles and compositions both for the fashion part of the shoot and art nude (using patterned spots and other cool bits of kit available at the studio).

Looking forward to our hot tub shoot! Thanks for being awesome x

I had a wonderful first shoot with Will at York Photo Studio and hopefully we can work together again! :)

Will was sooooo wonderful to work with! He arrived on time, with a positive attitude and I knew our shoot will be a lot of fun!

We went through a variety of outfits and sets, Will had a couple of ideas that worked out really well and he was also happy for me to contribute my own ideas which made us work perfect as one team!

Will so incredibly kind, respectful, relaxed and soo great to chat to! We did a lot of interesting talking while taking pictures and had a good laugh too! :D

Thank you for an amazing shoot Will and I'm looking forward to working with you again one day! :)
