Really glad we got the opportunity to meet and work together!

The communication while organising the shoot was spot on and the conversation flowed throughout the shoot. There was never a dull or awkward moment. :)

You arrived on time and ready to shoot. You seem very genuine as well as a talented photographer. I look forward to working with you again at some point.

Not a negative thing to say!! Recommended To All xX

Oh wow!! So that was a shoot number 5 with lovely Clive and what can I say, I hope we will have much more to come!! :)

Clive is one of the most reliable and friendly people I’ve ever worked with. When he arranges a shoot, he simply does it without messing around. He is always so enthusiastic, happy and motivated to create great images... obiovusly after we have our proper chat about all worlds problems ha ! It’s so amazing having a good relationship with a photographer as it really reflects on images :).

Clive is a great photographer, he’s always creative and hard working while being totally relaxed about it. He definitely doesn’t rush and makes sure we create quality images. He is definitely chatty, funny and easy going. I always enjoy working with him or shall I say chatting to him? Ha!

Definitely recommended, thank you and looking forward to working with you again! :)

I had my first shoot with Clive yesterday.

Clive is really friendly and easy going, he had some great idea's and I think we got some awesome shots!

Would recommend :)

I really wish you could just write "Clive is a total legend" but I don't want him to think he's that good.

He's great at keeping a look out - stalking bird like amongst the trees for onlookers and oncoming vehicles!

We have the same taste is Starbucks Ciabattas and he's hilarious to be around - a total comedian.

More like him please.

I had my 4th now shoot with Clive while I was touring in London and I know we have many many more to come as we work together on a regular basis. I am really happy about it, not sure if Clive is but well, what can he do now ha! :)

Clive as always came well prepared, with plenty of equipment and even outfits for me to try on. They were so great that it gave me some inspiration for future shoots too!

Clive as I mentioned before is a really professional and creative photographer who is open minded and doesn't stick to all those silly photographic rules. I like the fact that I can always pose freely while shooting with him, be myself and be as unique as I want to. His taste in music is even better and it goes so well with shooting ! Clive is fun to work with and to talk to, always funny and polite. :)

Working with Clive was a great experience. I would love to recommend him to every model and looking forward to working with him again! Thank you!

I had my 3rd now shoot with Clive while I was touring in London and it was a real pleasure to work with him as usually!

Clive arrived on time, with a smile on his face, we had a cup of tea/coffee along with a chat and after a loooong while we decided to shoot ha! Well, why not!

Clive is such a great photographer and an amazing person to spend time with at the same time. His taste in photography is really compatible with mine and we can easily get on and create images with a total ease. He is sooo great to chat with about all life problems and music especially and joke about everything else. He is totally relaxed and laid back, never rushes with things but always gets things done. Perfect combination !

Working with Clive was a great experience. I would love to recommend him to every model and looking forward to working with him again! Thank you!

Our shoot was so easy going and relaxed ! We had loads of fun shooting and also chatting ( not sure what we did more shooting or chatting.. ha ) and we got amazing results !!

Clive is a lovey person to work with, really warm, patient, down to earth and with plenty of great ideas. He’s always happy for suggestions that model has which makes it so much easier to work together.

I had my first ever shoot with Clive while touring in London and hopefully we will have much more to come ! :)

Clive arrived on time, well prepared and with a positive attitude! We had a little chat before to get to know each other and he came across as a really friendly and warm person, I just knew it would be fun to work together!

Clive was a real pleasure to work with, extremely easy going, very relaxed and chatty throughout our shoot. He is so friendly and easy to work with, time with him really flies by and I felt like our 3 hours just disappeared somewhere ha! Clive is also very professional and he made me feel totally comfortable.

I would definitely like to recommend Clive to every model and I am really looking forward to working with him again. Thank you :)!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Clive again (for the 5th or 6th time) at my Christmas Portfolio Builder, co-hosted by Helen Diaz.

As always, Clive was a delight to work with and worked really well with the rest of the group! Not only is Clive super talented as a photographer, (with epic lighting!), he's also really funny, with a wonderful sense of humour and great to be around as he just lights up the room! (See what I did there? 😜

Highly recommended and I'd love to work with Clive again!

Thanks for an awesome shoot x

I worked at the amazing Talliston House again in December, on one of my Christmas events co-run by the sensational Valis Volkova!

Clive was one of the 4 photographers that booked onto the Talliston Christmas event- and we had such a lovely day! It was our first time working together so I am always a little nervous- but needn't have been!

We had such a lovely group of different personalities and had such an enjoyable day exploring the house exploring the many different themed rooms!

Clive has a great sense of humour, was such a pleasure to work with and made me laugh! He is also a great team player and we achieved many stunning photographs together over the course of the day. I really enjoyed his company and the lighting set ups were fantastic.

He also braved the attic room at Talliston which was a super funky set to shoot in! Who said photographers arn't flexibe?! :P

Thankyou so much Clive, it was lovely meetng you- and I really hope we get the chance to work together again soon and look forward to the uploads!

HIGHLY recommended to all, Helen x

I have worked with Clive on many occasions, including spending a week together shooting in Spain, however this reference is specifically for a shoot in London!

Clive is absolutely DELIGHTFUL to work with. He is so laid back, easy-going, creative, passionate, FUN and has an amazing sense of humour! He's also an incredibly talented photographer and a really lovely person.

The time just flew by and we had a great time, capturing wicked stuff!

Highly recommended and I can't wait until our next shoot.

Thanks Clive xx

Had my first shoot with Clive earlier this week & what a pleasure it was!

Pre shoot comms were excellent & he arrived on time!

Clive is a lovely guy & put my at ease straight away!

He gave good direction & knew exactly the shot he was after & whilst I haven't seen any finished images yet, the ones I looked at on his camera looked great!

I have just come back from an awesome shoot with Clive. He applied for my casting and the shoot was booked in very quickly with ease. His pre comms were excellent and it all flowed smoothly. Clive is a joy to work with and we had lots of laughs throughout the whole shoot. It flew by very quickly but we got a lot done in the time. I hope I get to shoot with Clive again and really look forward to seeing the results. I highly recommend shooting with Clive if you get the chance!

I had a great experience working with Clive on the recent "NudesExposed" workshop in Reading.

I was shooting with Clive for the first time alongside with another photographer and the tutor and found him very professional guy with a genuine interest in photography, to learn and to creative great images, great attitude and communication throughout the day's shoot, respectful to model at all the times, easy and pleasant to work with and to talk with.

Productive and enjoyable shoot, highly recommended to all models: beginners and professionals to shoot with.

Thank you - Tina Kay

I've just got home from spending an amazing week with Clive in Spain shooting latex fashion.

Clive is an absolute delight to work with! He is very talented, acts in a professional manner, is easy to work with and fun to be around. The photos looked amazing on the back of the camera and I am looking forward to seeing the final results.

Highly recommended and I hope that we get the chance to work together again!
