Had a great first shoot with Russ on my Newcastle mini tour.

Pre shoot comms were fab as we both knew the styles and themes we were going for. Russ arrived on time and from the get go he was very friendly, chatty and made me feel at ease in his presence. We had a cuppa and chat then started the shoot.

The 4hr shoot itself flew by, we managed so many great seats and back of camera images look absolutely beautiful! He was happy for me to free pose but was also great at giving direction.

I would definitely recommend working with Russ to all models! Such a fun shoot and I am looking forward to our next shoot!! ♥

Another amazing shoot with Lightingman, we spoke in advance about ideas/themes. And we managed to shoot them all on the day. I was so happy with the results. The pictures are looking amazing! I already feel at home when I shoot with the Lightingman, we have lots of coffee and speak for hours it’s always a pleasure and lots of fun.

Hope to have many shoots with him in the future.

Highly recommended

Another amazing shoot with Russ. I was super late to our shoot, but Russ was so understanding and patient. Even though we had to rush through the shoot felt very relaxed. We had lots of coffee and a great conversation as always. I was very pleased with the pictures we got. Russ is very easy to work with, and of course he knows how to take amazing pictures.

Highly recommended

That was such a pleasant thank shoot with Russ, I kept wanting to do a shoot with flowers and mirrors, and Russ helped with that, he had great props and amazing ideas, and Omg when I saw the pictures on the back of the camera I was so impressed. Thank you for a great shoot Russ! Can’t wait to do some location stuff in the future.

Another great shoot with Russ, this time we shot a bit on location and the rest at his home studio. I enjoyed the change in scenery and the pictures looked great. It was a very chill shoot, lots of interesting conversations, good coffee and amazing pictures and ideas. We also experimented shooting with a flower which was kinda fun. But yes Russ is always a pleasure to work with, and he always comes with new exciting ideas for each shoot

Highly recommended

Second time shooting with Russ, and I can truly say he’s such a great person to work with. We had an amazing conversation with lots of coffee it didn’t even feel like I was modelling. Russ made a really nice set up, and he already had some ideas in mind, with what we were going to do. I was super impressed with the results. Russ definitely knows what he’s doing, and he knows exactly how to get a perfect shot.

Super down to earth, professional and so creative. Highly recommended

Had an awesome shoot with Russ at my place. He came on time and brought lots of equipment with him, that helped us get some great pictures. Pre cons were great. We tried to recreate some pictures from my mood board and Russ’ moodboard as well. They turned out amazing, we added a bit of our own kick to them.

Overall Russ is professional, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend

What a delight it was to discover that Russ lives so close to me! We shot in his home studio and it was a wonderful experience. He is one of the loveliest people I've ever met. We got on extremely well and had a great chat as well as a productive photo session.

I would recommend him to other models without hesitation.

I had my first shoot with Russ yesterday and what a delight it was. He is a fantastic photographer and such a gentleman. Although it was raining, we ended up getting some really good shots and he was not worried about getting drenched in order to capture the best angles. I had such a nice day, and I can't wait for our next one :) Could not recommend him more!
