John attended Chris Conways portfolio workshop where I was the model, and I'm glad he did.. I love the image he captured and has already uploaded!

He arrived on time and was very respectful, I wish I had more time to speak with him, but the workshop was such a quick turnaround between outfit changes and it was all go from the very start so we didn't have chance to have a natter. He got along with the other photographers well and always gave a smile when his time was up shooting and when he first began.

He got hold of me and offered to send me the edits to my dropbox, which was absolutely lovely of him, so thank you John!

Hope we can work together on my next Cornwall tour,

Had an epic shoot with John yesterday at one of chris Conway’s workshops.

John was brilliant. A very professional and talented photographer.

He was already there when I arrived and was very welcoming and had a great sense of humour! He is highly recommended and hope I get to work with him again soon

Thanks so much John

I had my second shoot with John yesterday and it was completely different from our first!

I was lucky enough to pick up a cancellation for one of Chris Conway's lighting workshop and John was a pleasure to work with.

Amazing shoot!

I had previously met John before, and we finally got around to collaborating in a shoot together at the studio. We managed to get through a few different themes including fashion, beauty portraiture and images with a creative slant which looked amazing!

John made me feel comfortable by chatting a lot and making me laugh, which is important as a photographer and provided endless cups of tea or coffee. Overall, I really enjoyed the shoot and am so, so happy with my images so far! Would be happy to collaborate in the future. Thankyou John 😊

How amazing to have one of my favourite people come and join me and Chris Conway on an event we held at Skip it Torbay.

John is always an absolute joy to work with, every shoot is easy in his company. He is everything you want in a photographer, professional, respectful and full of banter! He took great pleasure in taking photos of me in a whole heap of rubbish hehe! But if anyone can make those images cool it will be him so it will be totally worth all the cuts, grazes and getting absolutely covered in sh*t for ;-)

Papa John..... you rock :-) Thank you for joining us for the day

Needless to say gets the highest of recommendations from me

It was great to shoot with John again, think our last was about 3 years ago.

John is a pure pleasure to work with...John planned a fantastic fashion shoot with me. He got some amazing fashion designer on board and we used a cool location near Plymouth Docks. The shoot was organised, easy going yet productive and of course lots of fun and laughs to be had.

John is a great photographer and a great person to spend some time with :)

Highly Recommended from me :)

John was great to work with, we planned this quite last minute - and the weather was bitter cold!

He brought along another photographer with him - Michael, and they both were very professional and fun!

I would definitely recommend John and look forward to working together again :)

Ive worked with John on numerous occasions and happy to say that he has become one of my closest friends and working with him is always amazing. Im guaranteed fun, humour and incredible images. Since day one he has guided me and helped me in my direction of modelling to which i am so grateful for as i wouldn't be where i am today without his help. You cant go wrong with John he has a clear passion for photography and works so hard to get that shot he is after and makes sure you as the model are happy and comfortable at all times. One of life's rough diamonds hehe.

Would i recommend John? urghhhh yep 100% and if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity of working with him i highly encourage you to do so.

Thanks for joining us on our workshop, wouldn't have been the same without you :-)

Had an awesome shoot with John recently, he's so much fun to be around, makes you feel really comfortable and has great ideas!

I'm beyond happy with the photos and he even bought me chocolate :D

John was an amazing photographer for my second ever shoot. It was the first time I met him and he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Very easy to get along with and chatty but professional! He helped a lot and taught me a lot of things that new models should and need to know. Thanks a lot I can't wait top see the shots :)

Only one word needed......LEGEND! (in every sense of the word)

Shot with John at Studio Hire Plymouth and after not seeing him for years, was instantly comfortable with him and had a really great shoot. John is down to earth, respectful, and a great laugh, he's really easy to work with as he knows what he likes, and from what I saw we got some great results! Thanks John :)

I got to work with Mr JayJay again on my 17 day tour. YAY!

John booked the last two hours of my studio day at Studio Hire Plymouth and we worked our way through quite a few different sets!

Like last time we ended on an andro theme and I LOVED it!! Despite some odd shenanigans going on outside involving a moped...LOL...we got some cracking images and I really really can't wait to see more!!

Thank you so much, John. Was great to see you again too. Can't wait to catch up next time I'm down :) x

Well what can I say about Mr Ivey that hasn't already been said...from my experience, working with Mr Ivey for the first time has been such a learning curve for me. He's patience and skills as a photographer, capturing the best of you is proof enough how great a photographer he is! If you ever get the chance to work with this amazing guy, don't let it slip through your fingers, you'd regret it otherwise. He's one of a kind, and definitely shouldn't be overlooked. Book him now!

Had an awesome shoot with John on Thursday.

This was our first shoot together.

I was so comfortable and my nerves disappeared instantly.

So easy going, well planned and has an awesome sense of humour.

I can't wait to see the final images !

Highly recommended....

John was one of the photographers in a group shoot i was involved in last week. John was great to work with, really friendly and a chatty person, which is always a great thing. He had some cool ideas too, which he thrown into the mix.

I saw one of the images he posted on Facebook, shortly after the shoot, which looked incredible and i hope to shoot again with, when I'm next down that way.

Highly recommended.

John booked me for a couple of hours during my recent studio day at Studio Hire Plymouth. We had two rough ideas to work on in the time...'floaty' and 'boyish' and we NAILED both looks in no time. LOVE the images so far and can't wait to see more!

John was great to work with- really fun and so laid back. We had a real blast during the shoot and that evening I got to spend a bit more time with John when he came to the beach with myself, Chris Conway and Mike too! He probably saw me in 'non Artemis' mode (but didn't seem to be put off-!!) which was good ;) Haha!

Really, really hope I can work with John again next time I am down! Highly recommended from me!! :D

Papa Ivey john is a legend!!!!

I had the pleasure of not only shooting with him yesterday but having a weekend tour with him and white label in milton keynes last weekend and.... i had a blast. Both photographers have become a couple of my best friends and although you can see by their ports that the standard of work is outstanding you cant see who they are, well let me tell you, John is one of the kindest, funniest most genuine people ive come across who is ever the professional and puts the models needs and concerns first. I have worked with john on many occasions now and each being as enjoyable as the last with very productive results. I will continue to work with both john at any time and would strongly advise any model to if they get the chance!

Thank you John for a great first shoot together.

I shot with John for the first time at the weekend and can't wait to see the images. We changed our location last minute (and I think for the better), John wasn't phased by the bad weather and he arrived on time, fully prepared with all his equipment. John introduced himself professionally and made me feel relaxed throughout the shoot with his vibrant and chatty personality.

John has a great eye and knows exactly the kind of images he's trying to (and going to) achieve. I can't wait to see the edits from our shoot!! His work and references definitely reflect John as a photographer and I would highly recommend him to shoot with. I hope in the future we will get to work together and good luck for the November project!
