I cant even count how many times I've worked with Tone now! This time we were at the very stunning HB mansion.

Tone always outdoes the locations, he picked a smashing place and came fully prepared to smash the day!

We darted around the location and made the most of the day, it's always so nice shooting with Tony, he's always friendly and professional and always a blast to work with!

Tony is a star - he booked a half day shoot at HB Mansion. His comms were spot on and he was a delight to have around.

He was friendly, chatty, professional and took great care of the mansion and his images speak for themselves. Really enjoyed working together and hope to see him again soon :)

I always enjoy my day shooting with Tony.

Getting it booked in and all pre comms we’re spot on, I knew the brief and was able to pack accordingly.

Tony is so friendly and easy to work with. It truly is a pleasure. I think you can tell by the photos we have that it was fun and easy!!

Highly recommend!!!!

Had my first shoot today with Tony after a planning this for so long due to Covid lockdown restrictions etc.

Completely buzzing from our shoot and the images I have seen on the back of the camera are superb.

Pre comms were spot on and direction throughout the shoot were awesome, Shooting a number of different sets at his home and then at a location not far from his home.

The time really did fly by the shoot was fun from start to finish.

I highly recommend Tony he’s a superb photographer and also a lovely guy you will not be disappointed book a shoot with him now :)

Thank you for a lovely afternoon and can’t wait to work with you again Jade :)

I had a great shoot with Tony at his home.

We had been trying to shoot with each other for about 4 years and our diaries always had other ideas but by luck we managed to sort a shoot out last minute.

I was welcomed into Tony’s wonderful (and very clean and tidy!) home and was immediately at ease, especially around his lovely dogs.

We shot for 3 hours but it was very relaxed and go with the flow which suits me perfectly. We got through alot of sets but Tony never over shot them and stopped after we got some good ones which kept it varied and interested.

I was also lucky enough to meet Joyce, Tony’s wife who was so lovely.

Highly recommended and hopefully the stars align again for us!

***Snowdrop Studios**

I am writing this as the owner of snowdrop studios and for some reason unable to leave references… yet I feel I should write a reference immediately post shoot as I know how life is hectic for everyone at the moment and I want to strike while the iron is hot… so too speak.

Ok… here goes… Tony is just fabulous, I can see why models who are established and just starting out are dying to get Tony confirmed to a date … this man is busy as a photography bee can bee….Tony came arrived super early which meant we could have a lovely coffee and catch up with all life’s turmoils which health and the pandemic have thrown at everyone…not only do I love hearing about Tony’s work and photography life, I also loved hearing about his wife Joyce’s photography ( as we’ve been in the industry the same time yet never crossed paths … this will be rectified soon as Tony promised to shoot here again and bring Joyce so we can have a natter) and also pops and tots.

A lovely natural down to earth photographer - with great banter … and images to die for… what more could you ever want…. Do I recommend? Err bloody highly with two thumbs up 👍

I had my first shoot with Tony at his home which was full of beautiful natural lighting and places to shoot!

I straight away felt at ease and knew the shoot was going to be great fun. All the pre come were brilliant leading up to the shoot and was lovely styling for it knowing exactly what Tony wanted to achieve with sending me a mood board full of ideas.

Overall a great day shooting with beautiful results, thanks again Tony x

Having worked with Tony a few times as a model, I was THRILLED when he offered to send some images for me to edit. His capturing skills are fabulous and absolutely love working on every pic he sends. A true delight and can't wait to edit more :)

I had my first shoot with Tony yesterday at his home studio and what a pleasure it was. We had reorganised from the beginning of lockdown and everything just fell into place.

The 3 hours flew by, with lots of sets, easy flowing conversation and a solid shoot idea. Tony is super professional, easy going, down to earth and extremely easy to work with. Very excited to see some edits as the back of cam shots were looking brilliant. Highly recommended, many thanks.

Amazing shoot today with Tony I would highly recommend shooting with, great pre comms and the shoot ran smoothly.

Amazing shoot yet again with Tony today. We've been shooting for a year now and he is spot on every single time. It's like chatting to a mate. Working with him is effortless.

His pre comms were fab as ever. We had no plan for the shoot but it absolutely wasn't necessary. I'll always work with Tony whenever I'm in the area. He really is a credit to the industry. A great laugh and very professional.

Until the next one. Thank you :)

After a long wait, Tony and I eventually managed to book our shoot in and it did not disappoint.

Great Pre-shoot communication with images sent of preferred style. He was chatty, friendly and I felt very comfortable shooting at his lovely home.

Can’t wait to see some images! X

Art Asylum Reloaded Photo Studio

Great to welcome Tony and Joyce to the studio for the first time. They had hired the studio for the day and had several photographers and models in.

Being old friends it is always great to see them and they enjoyed their time at the studio using all its facilities and areas.

Can't wait to see the images they produce.

Yes I know, he is my hubby but at the end of the day he is on here as a photographer and my references are always akin with that.

Tony arrived a little early for our group shoot and with it being in a studio he popped in to make us aware he was there.

Always prepared for what he wants to cover and on this occasion it was something wanted to try shoot wise.

If you look through Tony's portfolio you will see how he is excelling now on his portraiture, boudoir and natural light. His studio and indoor location work accounts for a tremendous amount of his changing styles and diversity.

Being hands on to see every shoot he does I can honestly say I am in awe of what hubby produces now.

Ladies and gents you will not go wrong with a shoot with hubby (it's only me who seem to growl at him, but I suppose that's down to our knowing one another over 48 years).

We've some great studios nearby, along with getting some great light into our new house. Hopefully we will be able to use our garden next year too. We've also great woodlands within a 5 min walk. If woodland location is something you want to do, then look through my photos in my portfolio to see what we have at hand or some of the duo images taken with Jackie R.

Highly recommended

The Factory

Had the pleasure of Tony's company at the Factory Studio for the first time this weekend.

Super nice guy, very easy going and totally respectful.

Full marks from me. :)

This was my second shoot with Tony and I have to say I absolutely LOVE working with this guy!! This time we shot at The Factory in London. This was Tony's choice of location and it was absolutely perfect for the style we were shooting!

Tony's pre comms are great, he made sure to properly look after me in terms of meeting me at the station and walking with me to and from the studio to save me getting lost. He came well organised with some gorgeous lingerie items, and sent a moodboard prior to the shoot so we always had inspiration.

Tony really ventured into new styles on this shoot, including some really moody shots with lots of shadow and creative angles which I loved! He also never runs out of creative energy, which powered me through this shoot and made time pass in a flash. We could have easily spent another 4 hours together shooting away as the ideas kept flowing and flowing.

Alongside this, Tony has a genuinely lovely personality, he is kind, bubbly and genuine - I feel totally at ease with him, and he's great company. Not to mention he takes beautiful images!!

I'd absolutely recommend Tony, you'll have a right laugh in a comfortable environment and get some beautiful images!!

Another unreal shoot with Tony.

Shot at his house last minute and I couldn't wait as I knew it would be so much fun like last time.

Tony's wife Joyce was there and both of them made me feel so, so welcome. It's as if we'd been friends for years.

The shoot absolutely flew by. Both Tony and Joyce are full of ideas. If I didn't have another shoot after it I would have stayed. It was just so easy flowing.

We didn't need a plan or anything for the shoot as we just seemed to work so well together.

Feel blessed to work with people like this I really do.

Can't recommend enough.

His images and references speak for themselves. Total credit to the industry and also a friend who I would pop in to see if I was in the area.

Amazing. Thank you x

Finally got round to shooting with Tony at his lovely home today!

Tony pre-comms were excellent and he sent me a mood board of some ideas for a lingerie/boudoir themed shoot. He was also very helpful with providing directions to make my journey as easy as possible.

Tony is a great host, he made me feel really welcome in his home as well as making a great cup of tea upon my arrival!

An absolute breeze to work with, great company to be around and we got some great shots making good use of natural light along with using flash.

Really happy with what I seen on the back of the camera and overall it was a fantastic shoot!!

Highly recommended & hope we get to shoot again in the future :)

Thank you x

I thoroughly enjoyed my first shoot with Tony on my Studio Day at the beautiful Loft studio.

Tony was organised, professional, full of ideas, made me feel comfortable at all times and just genuinely such a lovely person to be around. 

The communication prior to the shoot and after was excellent. We had discussed in detail what we wanted to achieve on the day and I believe we did just that!

Tony is of course highly recommended! Thank you so much Tony and hope our paths will cross again in the future xx

Incredible shoot at Tony's home. Tony and his lovely wife - Joyce were so friendly from the moment they greeted me at my car. Couldn't fault his pre-communication, we were constantly keeping in touch during the run up to it to ensure we were both in agreements as to what we wanted to gain from the shoot.

He is bursting with ideas, very creative with using natural light (images of which are a personal favourite of mine). Their house is perfect to shoot in. They are both so accommodating and even their dog is a fab addition to the home too. Joyce was also inputting some fab ideas (they are honestly marriage goals, haha)

Back of cam images were so good, he really knows what he is doing...as you can see by his style of images. I can not wait to shoot with Tony again. It was so good...I didn't want to leave, lol.

Book him...you will not be disappointed I assure you! x
