I finally got to work with the amazing Jeff today after he booked onto my studio day at Neon Dreams.

Jeff sent across a mood board ahead of schedule with clear ideas and even bought along all of the outfits which was great, the organisation was spot on.

Jeff arrived full of enthusiasm and with some really cool ideas inspired by the film Bladerunner. He had some amazing filters that produced so many effects and with his lighting we achieved some very cinematic shots.

Jeff gave great direction and was chatty throughout the shoot. He showed me the shots as we progressed which is always very helpful and they looked fantastic.

The time flew by and we shot many different sets, it was a great shoot and I would highly recommend Jeff to any model.

Thanks Jeff and I hope we can work together again in the near future.

I have shot with Jeff in his home studio and it was a great experience. The place itself was well equipped with a variety of lights, backdrops and accessories as well as warm and cosy! Jeff had also bought amazing yellow roses and lillies for our flower shoot.

Jeff is very professional yet outgoing and we had a great chat. He prepared a beautiful, inspiring mood board with flower settings and was very specific regarding particular poses knowing exactly what he wants to achieve but he asked me as well to pose freely for a variety of options. Trying different settings, accessories and flowers we created fantastic images, I can't wait to see more of them!

Had my very fist shoot with Jeff on Saturday. It was honestly one of my favourite ones yet!!!

He collected me from the station on time and was very welcoming and kind from the get-go. We had conversations so it wasn't awkward and uncomfortable between us. A bonus; he always ensured that I felt safe and well during our shoot.

He's such a genuine person and actually gave me a few words of wisdom - which I haven't received before. Honestly, working with him gave me a boost of confidence. Absolutely loved it!!!

Until next time?!💙

It was brilliant working with Jeff - super respectful photographer, had a lovely home studio with makeup area, coffee and snacks all available. We had an amazing shoot, it was so much fun and we got some fab images! 100% would recommend and would work with Jeff again in a minute!

Brilliant first shoot with Jeff at his home studio location. Communication from the start was excellent, we quickly managed to arrange our shoot and Jeff provided a mood board so I knew what our shoot plan was and what to bring with me.

Jeff was kind enough to collect me from the station and help me with my heavy suitcase which was much appreciated.

Jeff’s studio space is excellent, he really knows his stuff and has some lovely clothing and props to use. We used the moodboard as a guide for our shoot and got a mixture of very different images in our time together.

Jeff knows exactly what he is trying to capture and communicates that perfectly. He even gave me some tips which I will take with me into the rest of my modelling career.

It was great to chat in between shooting, our shoot was very relaxed and enjoyable. Jeff made sure to show me back of camera so I knew what we were getting and how I could adjust my posing accordingly.

Highly recommended by me and I look forward to any opportunity of working with Jeff again! :)

I had my first with Jeff at Neon Dreams Studio and it did not dissapoint. He arrived on time with a mood board and outfits also. We really clicked and worked well together throughout and Jeff made me feel very relaxed and at ease which resulted in us getting some fabulous images. I hope to work with Jeff again soon! Highly Recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jeff! He is a wonderfully creative person and has a great studio space with lots of props and outfits. Our shoot was productive and successful and we had a great time creating gorgeous images. I’d love to work with him again! Thanks Jeff

I had the most enjoyable shoot with Jeff! Our pre-communication was excellent. He provided me with all the necessary information including a moodboard, shoot plan, and even a small description of his amazing studio! So it was very easy to prepare the outfits and to know what to expect from the shoot. On the day of the shoot, he was so kind to meet me near the train station and help with my heavy bag. He was incredibly friendly, offered me tea and snacks, and in the middle of the shoot, provided me with a tasty lunch. He made everything to create a truly pleasant atmosphere; he was happy to heat the room for me, turned on the music I like, positioned the light in the most convenient way for me, and we had a nice, interesting chat. He didn't rush me.

The entire shoot was relaxed and fun. I had the freedom to be creative, suggest my own ideas, use his props, and choose outfits among a lot of gorgeous clothes he owns! Also, Jeff had so many great ideas that I was thrilled to bring to life. I found him to be a really great photographer! His skills are truly impressive, and he can create artistic lighting to capture really great and unique photos. He showed me them on the back of his camera, and I was truly pleased with them! Also, after the shoot, he was kind enough to send me a couple of fabulous photos with which I am really happy! It was a fantastic shoot, and I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future shoots. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again, Jeff! Thank you so much for a fantastic shoot!

I had a great Shoot with Jeff today. He kindly collected me and dropped me back at the Station. He was super friendly, chatty, and easy to converse with. I felt comfortable at all times and was well looked after with Jeff making sure I was warm enough and providing coffee throughout.His ideas when it comes to Photography are really good. We Shot some lovely white on white looks with white dresses and accessories, and created a range of looks from elegant to serious, to quite cheeky and humorous. It was great fun. I'd love to work with him again sometime.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff again at my recent studio day at Neon Dreams Studio. We had collaborated many years ago, and it was wonderful to catch up and work together once more.

Jeff arrived incredibly well-prepared, bringing along a variety of outfits, accessories, and reference photos to guide us in achieving our creative goals. The shoot went exceptionally well, and we were able to capture some truly beautiful images. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Jeff's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail are truly commendable, and I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and create more stunning work together. It was a fantastic reunion and a successful shoot.

Highly recommended!

What a brilliant first shoot with Jeff. We had great pre shoot coms! Jeff had replied to a casting of mine totally got the concept sent over a mood board straight away was exactly the brief I gave in my casting.

As well as being polite and professional Jeff had a great studio space with brilliant professional equipment.

As for the first shots wow!! Straight out the back of the camera I was blown away!! Not only was Jeff a great photographer he was also full of great conversation and knowledge.

I would very highly recommend you all work with Jeff!

Highly Highly recommended.

This was my second photoshoot with Jeff, and as before, it was a really amazing experience! He is very creative, full of ideas and has really great knowledge of photography and lighting- the photos we have from the photoshoot are really beautiful. He is really respectful and thoughtful, I felt very comfortable throughout the photoshoot. It would be a real pleasure to have an opportunity to work with him again, and I would highly recommend him to any models thinking of working with him.

Had a great first shoot with Jeff. Pre comms were very good. He sent me a mood board of ideas. He recognised what Was missing from my portfolio. His house is easy to find. He has a lovely studio in his garden with heating and air con always a plus. We got through so many sets I lost count! We really experimented which was cool trying different things. He also has a great taste in music. Jeff is chilled and respectful. I would recommend him! thanks for a good shoot!

I had an amazing shoot with Jeff in Bracknell. From creating a mood board, having clear pre-shoot correspondence, planning journey, getting us to a lovely location and later home studio - Jeff has made it incredibly easy for me since I am not used to travelling outside of London for shoots. He is very kind, polite, respectful, informative, patient, down to earth and easy-going. We had fun and relaxed shoot (of course there was time for little chats and cup of tea and coffee). Although weather has changed our original plan to some extend, we created really good shots and who knows- perhaps it means there is a chance for round two in the future if we'd be lucky to catch a sunny day :)

It goes without saying I recommended working with Jeff 100%.

Second photoshoot with Jeff! And we nailed it! I really enjoyed it from beginning till end! We did a decade 1920s shoot on a beautiful garden and also did some indoors shoots! I am so happy with the results! Jeff is so creative, talented and also very nice to work with!! 🥰 can’t wait to see all our photos and to work with him again!! If you haven’t already you should, I truly recommend him and thank you for a wonderful day!!

Jeff is the perfect photographer to shoot with!

The pre shoot comms were faultless. He is so clear about his vision and gives a moodboard in advance, directions to studio and set timings from the get go including providing clothing.

He is honest, warm, a pleasure to work with but also very talented and humble. It felt as though I blinked and the shoot was over, it flew by but we worked together to get great results as Jeff would often show me images from sets. I walked away with a lot of knowledge and energy. By the end of the day he had already sent over some edits which was very impressive.

I would love to shoot with Jeff again so don't pass on the opportunity.

I had my first great shoot with Jeff . He prepared a very creative idea of dress made of flower and green fabric. His family made a great dress in a short time and suit me well to wear and shoot ! The idea is beautiful and we shoot many colorful outfits as well . I look forward to the results! Hope can work again ! Great photographer! Highly recommended

Chloe Ellman-Baker

Wow, what a shoot!

Jeff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable on this shoot. Cups of teas, water and snacks! His studio has everything a model needs from mirrors to make up wipes and scissors!

His photography skills are absolutely incredible. He spent time getting every shot right and absolutely nailed my concepts as well as his own. Jeff is very easy going and very respectful. Seeing as I brought my entire wardrobe with me, I believe we will be planning a second shoot very soon.

I would 100% recommend Jeff for all models! He works so well with experienced models but also has a great sense of direction and is able to support models in getting the best angles!

He continued to show me the shots on his camera so I could provide my input and adjust my hair etc if needed.

I’m so excited to see these shots, he’s even sent a couple over already - which I don’t often get!

Looking forward to shoot 2.0!
