I worked with Ben at his home studio, shooting mostly latex fashion. He's friendly, easy to talk to, provides very clear direction and his pre-shoot communication was great. I'd definitely work with him again. :)

I enjoyed my second shoot with Ben as much as my first one. A pleasure to be around as always, and the work flowed well, and yet again we discovered new ideas that worked. Very highly recommended.

I had a latex and nude shoot with Ben at his home and would happily do so again. The shoot was very productive with a break in the middle for a nice hot lunch and Ben was friendly and respectful throughout. I look forward to working with him again :)

Such a fun and productive shot I had with Ben. I never felt so relaxed on a full day shoot.

He takes care of the model, he's full of ideas, polite and professional.

Highly recommended!

I had a brilliant first shoot with Ben at his home studio :)

Ben was friendly, polite and welcoming into his home. His pre shoot and shoot communications were great and his direction was perfect :)

I hope to work with him again soon :)

I had a brilliant shoot with Ben about a month ago. Ben is lovely, funny, chatty, and full of great ideas. We did some wonderful images together using some clothing that Ben got especially for the shoot. I would highly recommend Ben to everyone and I hope we can work together again in the future!

I had an awesome days shoot with Ben. He was so easy to work with and he knew what he wanted from the shoot. I think we produced some awesome photos together and I do hope to work with him again. He had some very interesting lighting techniques and had a funny sense of humour :) Ben even bought me lunch at a lovely pub near to his home :) Recommended by me.

I had a really fun time shooting with Ben. Our conversations were interesting and the photography went swimmingly. We discovered some new poses together, and generally had a very productive and positive day. Highly recommended, and would definitely like to work with him again.

Ohhhhh Gawd, I LOVE Ben. Love him love him love him. It helps that his shots of me are amongst my favourites throughout my 10 year career, but I'd love him even if he was a dreadful photographer (which he most certainly isn't). He's very kind, always thoughtful, properly great with direction, imaginative, and generally just fabulous. I can't recommend him highly enough, and shooting with him is one of my favourite things to do. Wonderful fun :)

i worked with Xanadu yesterday,

he was great with communication before the shoot, he let me know his ideas on the styles/levels/hours/arrangements

he booked an amazing high end Makeup artist which was great, it made such a difference and made each look so much more dramatic,

he really looked after me and the mua, he gave us time to have each look change, he was open minded to lighting styles that we would also agree looked great, made us lunch, and even picked up and dropped us at our train sations.

he was a great guy, and great photographer

highly recommended, and can't wait for the next time (hopefully soon)

I worked with Ben at his lovely home in London. He is professional, respectful and fun to work with, a complete chatter box who I could talk to all day! He is fantastic at lighting and has some lovely creative ideas. I would highly recommend Ben to other models and hope to work together again!

Best wishes, Helen x

I had a great shoot with Ben over the weekend in London. He picked me up from the station and dropped me back and was very accommodating and fun to work with on the shoot. He also got some great images and it was a lot of fun working on something a little different to what I'm used to. :) I'd happily recommend him and would definitely work with him again.

I had a lovely shoot with Ben today in his studio. Great comms, very relaxed shoot but got alot fitted in. He's professional, a great host and a joy to work with. I look forward to working with him again and I highly recommend him!

Ben is so nice to work with, I shot with him at his home studio in London, it was a full day shoot, but he was so accommodating and lovely it seemed to fly by! We covered a whole range of styles from glamour and art nude to steamy erotica, which we got some excellent images from. When I arrived Ben was all set up and ready to go, he's well equipped with all the right gear and clothing and props. His pre-shoot communications were excellent and directions in the shoot were helpful and constructive as well as accepting my own input.

Ben is very knowledgeable and is a great photographer producing some very beautiful work whether it be in a studio or on location, which is evident from his portfolio. He has a very professional personality, polite, considerate and engaging, and I felt relaxed during the whole shoot.

Thanks so much Ben, hope to work with you again soon!

Highly recommended,

Lizzie xx

Ben is brilliant. Bubbly, down to earth, and a real master behind the camera.

The day whizzed on by, and the images looked delicious!

What more can a girl ask for?

I would be delighted to work with Ben again, and can highly recommend him to fellow figure models alike.
