I had a pleasure shooting with Chris. He is amazing and made me feel very comfortable during my shoot. Very trustworthy. I loved my images and he also got one of my image published in a magazine.

Thank you Chris! 💖

I had my first shoot with Chris and whooooaaaaaaa is how I’d describe it. We were doing a due shoot with another model who I’d worked with before as had Chris and the communication beforehand was amazing. We set up a WhatsApp group to make sure we all knew the plan and when it came to the day itself I could t have hoped for better. The location he had found was incredible and Chris was brilliant at directing myself and the other model as we had planned to do a lot of mirrored shots. He was up for anything and bared with me and my crazy ideas for shots and angles and honestly, I don’t think he could have done me any further justice. I would highly recommend Chris and genuinely would jump at the opportunity to work with him again!!

Another fantastic shoot today with Chris using an abandoned building as our inspiration. His enthusiasm for the location and how we could use it to our advantage creatively was contagious, and his intuitive style harnessing the natural light available made for some incredible captures. Can't wait to work with you again!

Crafted Creatures Make-up

Got to meet and work with Chris for the first time today on location as a makeup artist and model, amazing person to work with and creativity and effort that goes into capturing the images is unbelievable think I've found a photographer that's just as mad and adventurous as myself. Instantly at ease and can't wait to see the final images because the previews have been amazing. Highly recommended and really can't wait to work with Chris again in future.

Chris and I had discussed working together a while back, so it was great that our diaries finally came together. We discussed the idea of the shot beforehand, so we were both aware of what the shot was to capture. The location Chris found was amazing, and we defiantly made use of the light, shadows and space. I personally feel Chris capture the mood we were hoping to create. Pre – communications were great, Chris is a really friendly guy, polite, respectful and really easy to get along with, I felt at ease as soon as we met and throughout the shoot. We bounced ideas throughout the shoot, which made the shoot even more relaxed. The time went very quickly. I highly recommend Chris. Thank you, Chris, – look forward to working with you again.

Had a lovely day with Chris, exploring and finding fab locations...

Pre comms excellent and we were able to meet at the Glastonbury Meet-up.

He made me feel comfortable and at ease. He's got great ideas and was open to my ideas, I was able to freely pose too.

Chris is a great photographer to work with. Post shoot communication was great too.

I thoroughly enjoyed this shoot.

This was my 1st time working with Chris, and he was amazing, funny and we worked well together and even chatted about shooting solo while walking to different shoot spots on this shoot . He has a great eye for detail, and knows what he is aiming for when directing a pose for a shot. Would 100% recommend chris to other models and teams.

Chris is about as kind and passionate as they get. Keen attention to the finer details. Brilliant photographer who understands lighting and has his own style that he executes perfectly and to a high standard. Can't wait to meet up with him again

It was great to be working again with Chris on a shoot set up by the Make Up Artist Susie Joan where I was fully painted. We shot is a smallish room, which Chris expertly lit and from the pictures you'd not know the room size. The photos came out fantastically and promtly, with Chris sending over the proofs very rapidly.

A 100% recommendation from me, till the next time

I had a great second shoot with Chris as a MUA, creating a bodypaint for Mothy. Chris is always friendly but professional and I really enjoyed working with such creative people. He has a great deal of experience and I'm so happy with the final images. I look forward to our next shoot!

I had been asked to work as a makeup artist and the model asked if I could also help with fashion styling,which I was happy to do. Chris was friendly, professional and laid back, and the images look great! I look forward to our next shoot.

I've been working with Chris since my return to modelling in 2022 and have been overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness and creativity when it comes to planning and executing our ideas. From the start, he was quick to put me at ease and his professionalism and humour means a shoot is both fun and productive!

My second shoot with Chris and it certainly won't be the last! Pre-comms are always flowing nicely as before. I have attended a number of events with Chris and we speak regularly too, so I was comfortable accepting a lifts to and from the studio. We managed 3 outfits and 4 sets in the 3 hours but there is never enough time for all of the fun we have on our shoots! 3 hours felt like 1, and I would have been more than happy to shoot the whole day away! I chose my images that same evening, choosing more than I usually would because they were impossible to cull any further! And Chris had sent over the beautiful edits the following day! I really wasn't expecting to get so many edits and so promptly too. I have absolutely no reason not to recommend Chris, he ticks the most important boxes :)

Chris contacted me the day before the shoot after being let down by another model.

I was pleased he asked if I was available,as I'd had him listed as someone I wanted to work with.

As this was pretty short notice,good regular reliable communications were essential, and he was excellent in these regards.

I travelled to the shoot venue, and he had given clear instructions on how to get there.

Once at the venue, we put our artistic heads together and created some very strong, striking art nude images.

This was the first time I'd worked in more of a studio setting, and I enjoyed modelling in this way.

Chris has some really impressive state of the art kit, that allowed me to preview my poses on his laptop before he took the picture. This definitely was a good way for me to see how the image may look once taken, and gave me scope to pose differently.

Chris gives the model plenty of room for self expression, and was very happy to listen to my suggestions and simply go for it!

I always like to bring lots of props with me including wigs and masks, and he allowed me to incorporate these brilliantly into the series of images we shot that day.

The very same evening after I got home, I received all the images to peruse and choose my favourites that he then would edit.

This is excellent, as I'm always dead keen to see what's been created, and I hardly had to wait at all.

I've already received 2 superb edits and am eagerly awaiting the rest.

I highly recommend Chris as a very professional, reliable and genuine photographer.

He made me feel comfortable and safe throughout the shoot.

And I will look forward to working with him again, maybe during Warmer weather for some outdoor photoshoots. :)

Third time shooting with Chris. As always it was fun, professional and we got some amazing shots in spite of the awful English weather! Chris is fantastic and directing a model, offering advice and tips, and knows all the light set ups to achieve the best shots. One of the most all round photographers I know I’m so pleased I had the chance to work with him and would encourage any model in the area to do so!

My first art nude shoot and one of my absolute favourite modelling sessions! Chris has a talent for capturing natural photos, in exciting locations, that hold great beauty and story. He is also easy to talk to and communicated what was needed effectively and efficiently. Amazing work.

TThis is the second shoot I did with Chris and yet again another favourite of mine.

Chris is a wonderful and personable human being as well as being a very skilled photographer.

The interpersonal skills he has are second to none and allowed me to feel comfortable to work at different levels to normal - creating beautiful images and memories in the process and overcoming my own mental barriers so thank you! I’ll be sad to leave Somerset.

Elly May

Had my second shoot with Chris, in a glorious sunflower field, which Chris had suggested himself!

Precomms are always fantastic, with a clear idea of the theme/level of the shoot!

Chris arrived on time, as usual, with plenty of props and ideas!

Our shoot went by far too quickly, and even though we only had a 2 hour window, together we managed to produce some epic images!

Looking forward to working together again in the future!

Had a great first shoot with Chris.

Having met Chris before this was actually our first time shooting together.

Pre communication with Chris were great and effortless, Chris suggested a beach shoot due to the heat and a great decision it was. Chris had a clear but flexible idea for outfits.

Shooting with Chris was so relaxing and fun and a wonderful day at the beach with great company. Chris isn’t judgy and was happy to work with me as a plus size model. Chris also showed me the back of the camera so I was able to see how they where looking.

Chris has already sent me the unedited images to select which I’d like which was super fast and they are great I carnt wait to see them edited.

I carnt wait to work with you again on more projects and I can highly recommend Chris if your looking for a relaxed and effortless shoot.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Chris on a male/female, boy/girl duo, art nude shoot.

He is very professional but also an extremely likeable guy who is filled with lots of knowledge, wisdom and interesting stories. Chris knows his stuff regarding photography and the industry. He has many great ideas that we explored as a group (with Kate) at the shoot and he gave direction when needed as well as let the models pose freely. It flowed very well. You couldn't ask for a sounder bloke.

Chris has introduced me to a beautiful location that I will frequent again and again. He helped organise the shoot and was great at his communication leading up to and on the day of the shoot.

Chris is a top professional and is a laid back photographer that produces top quality work. His work speaks for itself and I can't wait to see what we have created together.

I look forward to working with Chris again. I fully endorse and recommend shooting with Chris.
