Capture a Nomad

I had a blast yesterday again with Gareth, He came all the way up to Derbyshire to shoot me in the waters.

He looked after me throughout the shoot, considering it was hard to be in the water for long, he kept me very satisfied with pork pies & jaffa cakes.

Had a great time and a great outcome from the shoot and I only hope to kwwp shooting with him in the future with his creative projects.

Highly recommended

Shot with Gareth for the second time today and as expected his was patient and friendly, like always.

Gareth has a clear idea of what he wants to achieve and works well within his chosen style.

Great conversation and genuine guy.

I recommend 100% to anyone and everyone to shot with him.

Had a shoot with Gareth earlier on in the week - although a last minute shoot and faced by changes outside of our control (dress ordered did not arrive in time from the supplier and travel disruption due to to storm Doris - what were the chances!) everything went very well! Gareth has a relaxed style of shooting and a wealth of knowledge in photography, lighting, shoot angles etc., which not only made it a good shoot experience, but I also enjoyed the learning!

Gareth has a great professionally set-up studio space, with changing facilities and space to take a break in-between changes of setup. There's also some brilliant work of Gareth's printed and displayed around the studio as well, which I loved looking at as I enjoy photography as well.

Look forward to working with Gareth again soon.

Last minute planning but no stress and easy going leading up to the shoot. Gareth's a perfect gentlemen.

Very chilled and some great stories while you sip on your coffee.

Looking forward to shooting with Gareth again, great concept ideas, facilities even for rainy day his studio offers the perfect opportunity to take some great shots together also.

Highly recommended to anyone.

Had my second shoot with Gareth last week and what a pleasure it was. Gareth works at a nice pace and is very relaxed which made me feel both comfortable and relaxed. It is no different to last time in that I am very pleased with the results, which, Gareth had sent over to me the next day! - Wow! Gareth is very enjoyable to be around and to talk to, professional, a great communicator and a creative photographer. Thank you!

Had a shoot with Gareth today in his home studio.

His pre-shoot comms was great, he was thoughtful - providing lunch and biscuits, was friendly and chatty, and easy going.

I also enjoyed looking at the wide variety of images on display, taken by Gareth, but not included in his portfolio - which include landscapes, real-life (not model) portraits, and wildlife... many of these are exceptionally good, so it is a shame he chooses not to share these on here - in order to demonstrate the range of his photographic ability.

Many thanks Gareth for a very pleasant shoot.

Highly recommended to other models!

Best wishes

I had a great conceptual shoot with Gareth a few days ago. We explored some interesting locations that I hadn't visited before and got some shots with a lot of depth to them. It was a very enjoyable and creative shoot, and it's great to work with someone with a lot of artistic merit. The conversation and sandwiches were a bonus. I would definitely recommend him!

I had a wonderful shoot with Gareth today after he applied for my last min casting. Pre comms were fab and he sent a mood board and a good idea of what he wanted to shoot.

Gareth was easy to get on with and I really enjoyed our shoot. Full of laughs and a great host. I look forward to shooting with him again soon and of course I very highly recommend him to all!

Had a lovely shoot with Gareth today - before the shoot Gareth was really helpful in what he wanted me to bring and during the shoot was very easy to talk to, professional and very welcoming .We shot in his lovely home studio and the pace of the shoot was relaxed and enjoyable and I was able to review the images with him at the end of the shoot and to select some of my favourites. Gareth took some wonderful images,very kindle provided me with a sandwich and some fruit for the duration and was generally just a lovely person to be around. Definitely recommended!

I had a brilliant shoot with Gareth at his immaculate home studio :)

His pre-shoot comms were spot on, so I had an idea of what to bring and he had lots of ideas in mind.

He is very friendly and chatty and makes a great cuppa :)

It was a relaxed shoot so we didn't take thousands of images but focussed on exactly what we wanted to achieve.

I hope to work with him again later in the year

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gareth on my day trip down to reading. One of my favourite shoots so far, I was greeted and welcoming into his amazing home studio, and met his lovely cat! Gareth knows what he wants from the shoot and he is more than hospitable, chocolate and snacks were provided and the shoot was fun and enjoyable! Gareth had lots of cool props for the shoot and overall we had a great time! Can't wait to see the photos! Thanks again!

Had a great shoot with Wizard last week, he is a great guy and a photographer with a vision.

I felt incredibly comfortable with him, may have to do with the fact he fed me pizza ;).

Great guy from start to finish. I highly recommend to any model, and i look forward to a second shoot :)

Had a brief test shoot with Wizard this morning, and suffice to say, the test shoot proved a success, and I hope to plan a proper shoot with him very soon!

He was very polite and conscious of making me feel comfortable (even making sure his wife was home when I arrived so I felt at ease) and plenty of cups of tea. He listened to my ideas and had plenty of his own. His studio is well equipped and he is clearly passionate about what he does.

A gentleman and a pleasure to work with.

Look forward to our next shoot!

I had the very great pleasure of shooting with Wizard 2 at his wonderful, very well equipped home studio and beautiful/magical local outdoors.

Wizard is a genuinely lovely person and brilliant photographer to work with - friendly, reliable, respectful, polite, patient and kind but also with a great sense of humour.

Our shoot was well planned, with brilliant pre-communication and Wizard kindly picked me up and dropped me back off to the local train station.

He's very professional and an absolute gentlemen, who really knows how to make you feel at ease and make the shoot thoroughly enjoyable and productive.

He has a natural eye for composure and his execution of an idea is spot on.

He knows exactly what he wants to achieve and is brilliant at guiding the shoot and presenting ideas, but also was totally open to my input.

I simply could not recommend him highly enough to anyone and I cannot wait to shoot together again sometime soon!

Thank you for the highly enjoyable and productive shoot, the lovely cup of tea and coffee. Best wishes, Franka x
