Had another wonderful shoot with Ian. Absolutely lovely personality, we always have a great catch up and shooting is productive yet easy-going.

He knows his way around the studio, is open to ideas as well as suggesting them.

Thanks for coming all the way up to sunny Yorkshire for our shoot, Ian. Great to see you and I loved the shots we got.

Ian was an absolute gentleman from the beginning. Nice and precise pre Comms and was so easy to book and plan our shoot. Ian arrived on time with such a lovely presence. The shoot time flew by with lots of talking and creating stunning images. Ian is very warming and complimentary. I am already looking forward to another shoot. Thanks Ian the results speak for themself :)

It was really lovely to work with Ian for the first time at my studio day at Fine and DanDee. The shoot went really smoothly and had a great chat throughout shooting. Ian was well prepared and listened to my ideas, it really felt like we collaborated to get the best images possible.

Highly recommend to any model :)

I had fantastic third shoot with Ian. This time we shoot at my place in East London and he was an absolute joy to work with!

All communication before the shoot was great and he arrived on time to my location. We went through so many different sets around the apartment, and we even did the Valentine's theme using balloons and rose petals.

Ian worked very well and the images behind the camera looked amazing.

I really like working with him as he is a gentleman and he was making sure everything was alright during the shoot.

Thank you so much for another amazing shoot and hopefully will see you again soon :)

Ian is highly recommended!

Ian is one of the best photographers I have ever shot with. It reflects in his personality, his ability to communicate, his photography skills. Ian is a representative of a high class of photographers who are always polite,treat the model in the best way, always worried if a model is okay ,not cold, feel good and enjoy the shoot. It is priceless, and Ian is like that, always a pleasure to shoot with. It was our 3th shoot and I am very happy with the way it went,I am glad we are both based in London and can organise a shoot easily and have a favourite location to shoot at.

Ian is an easy-going photographer and when we shot with him time just flew away, really enjoyed the shoot today ,thanks Ian

Highly recommended, 100%

I had another fantastic shoot with Ian from my home! I have had several shoots with Ian now and every one gets better and better!

Ian is a lovely person, friendly and has a lot of care/consideration for people. He has a great passion for photography and it really comes across when shooting. Ian is great with pre shoots comms and always arrives promptly.

I always thoroughly enjoy my shoots with Ian. We captured some insanely good images on this shoot, some of my favourites from home! The shoot time flew by, as always! The shoot flowed so well and we bounced ideas of eachother throughout.

I hope it isn’t too long before our next shoot!

I would highly recommend Ian.

Thanks again :-)

I had the pleasure of working with Ian during my duo event with Artemis Fauna over the weekend - we worked through a range of different themes and sets during the 4 hours and it went by super fast!!

Ian was super lovely and very friendly so it felt really comfortable when shooting.

Super relaxed and easy going and we were able to make some magic!!

Lots of laughter as well as a very productive vibe!

Hope to work together again in the not so distant future for sure & already looking forward to it!

Recommended 100%!

Big Shot Studio

I met Ian for the first time last weekend when he attended the studio to shoot with Kitty Dawson. I found Ian to be a really lovely guy with a genuine passion for his photography. He was totally respectful of the studio space and equipment and was totally professional and also very considerate with Kitty while he was shooting with her, which was nice to observe. Ian managed to get some really lovely shots in the time he was here and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other models and studios. Ian it was lovely to meet you and you are more than welcome back at our studio anytime you like. :)

Kitty Dawson

I’ve worked with Ian a handful of times now and we always have a good and fun shoot!

We shot together at Big Shot Studio during one of my studio days-which is one of my favourite studios.

Me and Ian get on very well as people and as creatives, so we always create some crackers together!

Ian is friendly, professional, respectful, caring, creative, optimistic and lovely to talk to in breaks as well as create images with.

Highly recommended photographer and gentleman :D !

Apologies to Ian, for this belated reference- am still catching up on a massive pile of admin after being away from my home for a year and a half- as I was stranded in Canada during the pandemic.

It was a pleasure to work with Ian on a recent Thomas Holm sculptural/balletic art nude masterclass. We had not worked together before, and this was only my second shoot after flying back from Canada, where I'd been caring for my dad following his cancer surgery, so I was very nervous and anxious to do a good job. The photo from the tutorial I’ve seen thus far looks lovely- I was pleased, which is saying something, as I am extremely self-critical, as ballet-trained dancers tend to be. Am looking forward to seeing the pictures as and when they materialise from that day. Highly Recommended, and I would love to work with Ian again. 😊

Thank You Ian. 😊 x

Genuinely a nice person and a great photographer:)

I had the pleasure of working with Ian at a Thomas Holm workshop held at Aura studio in Northamptonshire.

I found him very polite, professional and easy to work with. The results that I have seen so far from the day have been great.

I had another great remote shoot with Ian recently on my Devilishly Dark Halloween event.

Ian booked four hours with me and we worked our way through SO many different sets it was pretty impressive! Ian was happy to let me go mad on ideas and I'm really over the moon with the results!

Thanks Ian, see you in December!

On my very highly recommended list !

Ian has shot at HB Mansion a few times now and is simply fantastic. He is one of the nicest, most respectful and professional photographers you could meet. Impeccably polite and personable, he is a pleasure to be around.

Highly recommended and we hope to see him again soon!

I had the most fun yesterday shooting with Ian along side Irida S at HB Mansions.

Ian is such a kind hearted person! He kindly picked me up to take me to the studio yesterday and dropped me back home after.

We worked through loads of sets yesterday and the images look beautiful, he already uploaded one from yesterday’s shoot.

I cannot fault this man at all, he is very easy going and relaxed, great company and an awesome photographer.

We’ve shot so many times now and I feel like we have a great working friendship.

Thank you so so much Ian for yet another wonderful shoot.

I had a pleasure to shoot with Ian again, our second shoot was amazing. This time we had been shooting outdoor,and Ian even agreed to shoot at the location which I proposed to shoot in.

Ian is very friendly photographer, he has a great personality, and he made the shoot went very smoothly and relaxing. I wouldn't be even happier with our shoot, as Ian treats the models really great, he is a truly gentleman, such a pleasure to shoot with him, highly recommended to shoot with, 100%, looking forward to shoot with Ian again 😊

Wonderful Ian!

I’ve lost count on the number of times I’ve worked with Ian, but what I will say is he is the lovelies person I’ve come across in this industry. Such a kind hearted and caring soul!

Ian is so relaxed and never over works his models, loves a good chat :) it really doesn’t feel like work when we shoot together, more like friends catching up and having a giggle and taking a few pics from time to time.

I cannot recommend him enough, I’m so thankful to know Ian and hope we have many more years of friendship.

As for Ian’s photography, it’s been so lovely to watch him grow as a photographer, I remember our first shoot together and he was fairly new to model photography, I’m so proud of him! Keep doing what you love Ian.

Much love

I had my second great shoot today with Ian at the Wimbledon Studio.

Ian is an amazing photographer! His pre shoot communication was great as before. He is so easy to talk and work too. He made me feel very comfortable from the start of the shoot.

During the shoot I found Ian to be really enthusiastic, creative and concerned with creating beautiful imagery! He was lovely to work with and we both bounced ideas around and perfected the images nicely! We got some absolutely beautiful images!

He is such a great man and photographer. I can highly recommend him to other models and I'm looking forward to work with him again soon :)

Thank you!

Serenity.

I honestly don’t know where to begin with Ian - what an incredibly lovely and kind soul! People like him are rare these days.

This was my second time shooting with Ian, this time at my home location. He is one of those photographers I warmed to instantly and someone I have a lot of time/respect for.

Ian is always fab with pre-shoot comms, is punctual and is a true gentleman throughout. I really enjoy the way he conducts a shoot because it allows for breaks, discussion and a bit of a natter. The shoot time absolutely flew by which is always a really positive sign.

We shot a number of a different sets and captured some fantastic images! Ian has to be one of the easiest to work with photographers, he makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I really like that as well as having his own ideas/suggestions he also welcomes input from me too.

I really do feel like he has a huuuge amount of potential and it’s so lovely to see how passionate he is about shooting. Ian has got a great talent for someone who is still relatively new to photographing models, so I’m excited to see how he progresses.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and look forward to the next! Highly recommended by me.

Thanks again Ian,

Serenity~x
