William is an absolute joy to work with! He's very friendly and easy-going, but passionate about his work!

The communication before the shoot was very prompt, quick to reply, respectful and clear! During the shoot I felt completely at ease too. William made sure I was comfortable, we worked in a smooth and speedy, yet relaxed tempo and we both had a great time (at least I did, haha).

Again, he's super respectful of his models, he's a joy to work with and he makes superb quality photographs. I'd recommend him to any model out there & I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity of working with him!

This was my second shoot with William and Lotte - it seemed like so soon after a first highly productive shoot together whilst I was in West Germany last year, so I wasn’t sure if was too soon as we did get many beautiful images the first time around! But William messaged back when I mentioned I would be coming to the area (Holland tour this time) and I was absolutely over the moon that we could fix round 2 (our dates just about matched between both our schedules haha!) :D

This time we got the chance to work on some totally different styles at William’s own studio - actually a supermassive nightclub premises which is super cool just in itself! But the place is so big that there is still a huge space available to setup a fully sized/fully equipped studio complete with makeup area and areas to build up big creative sets too! William and Lotte really bounce off each other with Williams epic photographer vision and Lotte’s magnificent professional styling (hair and makeup) skills that she takes care of during the shoot... The organisation was brilliant and most of the sets we planned to do were already ready - but whilst we sat down and did the hair and makeup relative to each look brief: William would arrange the lights so there was always a good system in place and maximised productivity. :) Some of the funky styles we shot included: a bit of themed/almost cute cosplay stuff with a “beer fest” theme - it was fun setting that up with all the ingenious props and techniques that were prepared to make it look realistic! :P Then some edgy nudes with various props/accessories along with bodyscapes - William’s nude work is second-to-none, so of course the results of that set were out of this world! And then some fetish themes too! As usual: William and Lotte were absolutely conscious of me being comfortable and happy with the styles at all times. Which I 100% was and can literally recommend these guys no matter what styles/levels you might be planning to shoot.

There were refreshments to-hand during breaks/between shoots, and of course the very same relaxed and harmonious pace of working that I experienced before. :) William and Lotte put all the important things in place to ensure models that come to shoot at their studio feel safe, comfortable and respected from the moment they walk in the door. We had a blast chatting away - shooting - chatting and shooting some more! :D the atmosphere was booming and positive in every way. I can definitely confirm that they are super cool people with big hearts and so easy to get on with/strike a working relationship with.

The communications were once again pristine, the studio was a superb place to work with all the essential boxes ticked: props/outfit collections/styling area/awesome sets and good lighting, we created some OUTSTANDING images (again!) and William and Lotte are just great people. It will always be a pleasure to get to work with these guys again in the future. :)

Thank you both for another lovely shoot!

William Got in touch with me regarding the prospect of working together during the very start of my tour of Germany where I planned the initial few days based in Düsseldorf, not too far from William’s neck of the woods: hence the timing and location worked perfectly for everyone! :D

I had a lovely apartment to shoot from that if arranged specifically with a view to either use the surroundings of the apartment as part of the images to be created, or set up a “studio-style” situation within the space. William (accompanied by his lovely wife Lotte who assisted and took care of the styling) came exceptionally well prepared for all shooting opportunities and it’s fair to say that we worked my little apartment to it’s absolute maximum potential creating some very divine photographs indeed through terrific teamwork. :) From the start: William was superb with communications during the planning stages and got back to me promptly with confirmation and details allowing me to be as well prepared on my side as possible. It’s always a lot of work planning such a big tour because you’re having the same conversations sometimes 20 times with different people (depending on the length of the tour) so the superb professional organisation from these guys from the start was wholeheartedly valued. :D

Once we got into the swing of things (and figured out how to use the coffee machine - thank you Lotte!!!) we had an epic system of great yield in the making... As William got all his equipment/lighting setup, Lotte styled me up all ready for pretty photos. :D Lots of chatting, lots creative exchange and a fabulous rapport instantly formed. We got cracked on with some pretty boudoir style images, moving onto art nude, lifestyle and bodyscapes: William knows exactly what he strives to achieve from a vision and his mind follows his creative eye straight away with fantastic technical know-how of how to get the best possible result from a picture opportunity. His artistic drive deserves enormous credit because it can be challenging working in a new environment that you’re not familiar with, and a model you’ve never worked with before: a lot of quick-thinking, thinking outside the box and on-the-job analysis of what is achievable. Both he and Lotte work like magic together with thinking up solutions and attention to detail. Some of the sets involved carefully framing (sometimes with a very narrow path of view!) and some were SUPER specific with light - these guys made it look like a piece of cake though! :P Creating quality images, a challenge? Says who?! :D I think the biggest regret of the day was simply not having enough time to head out to a funky location nearby that we spoke about briefly - the session just flew by! Next time definitely. :D :D

Nonetheless, the session we had was thoroughly enjoyable. I felt comfortable and at ease through the whole shoot which went along at a laid-pack pace (plenty of drinks breaks and chatting about styles to shoot next to get quality over quantity). Both William and Lotte have big hearts and are really lovely people as well as being good at what they do... It goes without saying that the company and etiquette on the day was absolutely perfect. :)

So to conclude: I 100% highly recommend both William and Lotte and cannot thank them enough for such a fabulous first shoot to begin my tour of Germany. :) I really hope to get the chance to work with them again sometime in the future: these guys ROCK!
