Highly reccomend working with this man!

He picked myself and Mia up from the station and took us back to his home studio and him and his wife were very welcoming! He has lots of ideas and lots of energy!

I hope I can work with him again as it was very enjoyable!

My shoot with Colin was so much fun that I kind of feel sad there isn't a behind the scenes video of the day... I got to play with balloons, ate chocolate biscuits, drank coffee and laughed a lot. Aren't we models lucky?

Colin is a terrific photographer with a great sense of humour. Professional, friendly and the perfect host.

Would I recommend working with Colin? You would be mad not to

Would I work with him again? Hell yeah!

Thank you so much! :)

What can I say about Zaki, my third shoot with this chap...

He is a very creative guy, and really has an eye for structures and potential shots.

We seem to gel nicely with our sense of creativity, and both agree on some slightly less than usual ideas, and wow does he pull them off.

We had the pleasure of being accompanied by his lovely wife on this most recent venture, of which I hope there will be many more...

Very much recommended, 3 times over and hopefully more ! Can't wait to see more of the images :)

My third shoot with Zaki and he never let's me down. Not only a pleasure to work with but he makes beautiful images, I don't think I've ever looked as elegant as I do in our latest set. Thank you Zaki, you never disappoint. I would work with Zaki again and again and I wholeheartedly recommend others do too :-D

Had my second shoot with Zaki a couple of weeks ago, and he doesn't disappoint! Top chap to work with. In a short space of time, out and about in the city, we successfully location hunted and shot... Think we turned out some pretty cool stuff- skulking around Liverpool street and generally being crazy ;-)

Great guy to shoot with and well worth it :-)

Thank you!

What a top chap to work with!

Invited me into his home and straight away he appreciated my crazy sense of humour running around with a knome I found in his cupboard of wonders.

Easily set up lights to create what he wanted, although we were fairly spontaneous as we'd initially intended on a location shoot, however, the weather was not overly in our favour.

So we did a few sets... Had a laugh and created some awesome shots.

End result, quite frankly can't wait for our next shoot!!!

Highly recommended :)

This was my second shoot with Colin and I was not disappointed, easy to work with, fun and full of ideas. We got some beautiful shots but some fun ones too and I had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him again.

Shot with Colin today at Studland and had a brilliant time. He has a really good eye for direction and is excellent at working out what's missing from a picture to make sure it's perfect. We got a huge range of shots from just a small location and I can't wait to see the results!

Colin is a great photographer. I mean look at his portfolio, its just amazing.

He was ready when I arrived, so we didn't waste any time.

He has a great personality which is easy to talk to.

Thinks of many interesting ideas and tries to achieve the best pictures possible which definitely worked.

I have received the pictures short after the shoot which was absolutely amazing.

I will definitely work with him again.

Zaki helped me out with an idea for a shoot I had, we tried the original idea but ended up with something far more fun and interesting. Really fun shoot with great pictures. I would definitely work with him again and definitely recommend him to others.

Crikey!! My fifth shoot with Colin... He must be mad!

I absolutely love working with Colin, no concept is too whacky, working with him really gives me a chance to express myself. Colin is always full of enthusiasm and fabulous ideas, shoots alway fly by!

On this shoot I worked alongside Lucy Lu, which is great, as are all as mad as each other. Colin organised a beautiful location and was, as ever, extremely organised and I know he put a lot of planning into this shoot.

Very highly recommended!!!!

Lucy Lu

Shot with Colin plenty of times now and always up for more! Are shoots are always so much fun, but probably because were all as wacky and crazy as each other :) Colin in a great photographer, full of ideas but also always open for suggestions. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic shoot with Colin.

We were working location on a very windy day which made it challenging but fun.

Colin has a great eye for detail and I am more than happy with our results.

What to expect when working with Colin - Total gentleman who has great communication and ideas throughout the day, very enthusiastic and talented guy.

We enjoyed it that much we have arranged to shoot again this coming weekend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I had my second shoot with Colin on Saturday after working together in early 2013. We shot at some gorgeous locations he had found and, though it was very chilly, we got some great images and Colin was a perfect gentleman throughout; making sure I was warm and comfortable. After lunch we headed up to his home studio which he magically transformed into a beautiful set and finished off with some really interesting lighting. He knew exactly what he wanted to achieve but was also willing to hear my ideas and from what I've seen the results are stunning. A lovely guy to be around and a very talented photographer: I can't recommend him highly enough. Can't wait for the next time!

Today shooting with Colin was fantastic, he was on time, friendly and bought me a hot chocolate when it was freezing, 2 thumbs up in my book :). We got some fantastic shots and can't wait to see them. The 3 hours went by so fast and we had a lot of fun, he has a lovely sense of humor and easy to get on with. I was disappointed it was over although the weather took a funny turn which made me a little grateful at the same time. I would definitely recommend Colin to anyone who wants a fun and professional shoot and I hope to work with him again in the near future.

Thanks for a fabulous shoot Colin :)

Collin is an amazing photographer. Very kind and extremely creative. Everything before and during the shoot was clear and planned. He had many ideas which really were beautiful. We were laughing throughout the whole shoot which made the atmosphere even more cosier and enjoyable. Loved the results we achieved and really hope to work with this wonderful photographer again!

I had a fantastic shoot with Colin last Saturday. He welcomed me with a hot cup of tea and a great chat to break the ice :) He is a real gentleman. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I felt as if I had known him my entire life. I was impressed with excellent communications before the shoot and also how well prepared he was on the day. He had a selection of backdrops, props and even garments ready to be used. He was also incredibly resourceful and a real perfectionist to top it all. You can see straight away he has a real passion for art. I was absolutely thrilled when I entered the studio and saw the fabulous set he created ready for me to become a part of it. I look forward to working with Colin again soon and I would highly recommend him to any model! Thank you so much for a fabulous experience! x

I had such a good time working with Colin on Friday night, he was friendly and welcoming in his beautiful home studio, pre-shoot communication was great, moodboard and all directions were given.

He was well prepared for our shoot and made me feel at ease when working with him.

Colin and his wife are so hospitable and lovely people, I was even given a healthy sandwich as this was my second job of the day and I didn't have anything to eat ;)They took care of me like I was family and I was very pleased.

I totally recommend Colin, great man as well as a great photographer with a professional approach to his job. I hope we will work together again sometime..

Thank you Colin, it was a pleasure to meet and work with you.
