I had my first shoot with Jeff yesterday at his house studio outside of London.

We work in different themes and time went so fast!

He has some brilliant 🤩 ideas and he is very creative!

Unfortunately it was early in the morning he book me so I had to leave home very early to arrive and trains were delayed and held that day so I didn’t have time to do proper hair look due to this, but we manage to make it work and done some nice pics

I would definitely recommend him!! 😊

I had a great shoot with Jeff.

This was our second shoot and we spent some of the time outdoors and some of the time in his full equipped home studio.

Jeff is very professional and makes me feel at ease during the shoot. When he has an idea in mind he has the determination to nail it and get that perfect shot.

We are already planning shoot 3.

I would 100% recommend Jeff.

Many thanks

I had an absolutely wonderful shoot with Jeff! Pre comms were great, he was extremely polite, friendly and professional. We were shooting 'fashion with flowers' style images in his lovely home garden studio which was fully stocked with tea coffee and biscuits! I felt very welcomed and he showed me the shots as we went along. I had such a fun afternoon and I would highly recommend working with Jeff to anyone.

I am very happy with my shoot with Jeff,it went really great. Pre-communication was on spot,Jeff sent me over the mood board,so we were well-organised and the results are really great. Jeff is a pleasure to shoot with, the portrait, we made with the flowers,look amazing, Jeff gave me some helpful directions. We also shot a bit if fashion,as both of us we fond to shoot photos with the movements. I can say I was really enjoying this shoot. We even managed to shoot outdoor qt a great and unique location, that street look was really cool.

I had a fantastic first shoot with Jeff.

Pre comms where great and we discussed exactly would be involved in the shoot. We tried a few different styles and let our creativity flow.

Jeff has a fantastic home studio which was lovely to work in.

He made me feel at ease throughout and show me lots of BOC shots along the way.

We captured some amazing images and I cant wait to start posting them.

He's a genuinely lovely guy and I would recommend him.

Many thanks for a great shoot.

I had a very awesome first shoot with the wonderful Jeff yesterday, he is an absolute blast to work with! We chatted back and forth via PP and Jeff was from the get-go friendly, polite, respectful of levels etc;… and all round just very easy to talk to.

We arranged a 3 hour shoot at my home and focused mainly on his beautiful vintage/old Hollywood style outfits using natural light. Jeff has a great eye for detail and knows what he wants from each set/image, but is also very happy to step back and let me do what I do with regards to posing and expressions so we worked really well together and it ended up being a bit of a collaboration which I absolutely love! :-)

Jeff is so kind, such a gentleman, and so talented that you can’t fail to have fun and be relaxed in his company. Please do shoot with Jeff if you get the chance to, can’t fault him!

Thanks for a wonderful shoot Jeff, you are welcome back any time!

Had a fantastic shoot with Jeff in his lovely Garden Studio.

Pre-communication was brilliant with ideas we wanted to out, the mood board was easy to follow and allowed us to choose the perfect outfits for the day.

The studio was lovely, bright and clean and was a gorgeous place to work in.

Jeff has a lovely personality making me feel at ease as soon as we met.

Having plenty of tea breaks and most importantly, supplied with custard creams!

Straight from the word shoot we achieved some beautiful photos, blowing me away with each outfit change.

Overall a fantastic day and our second shoot is already booked.

If you get the opportunity to work with Jeff, 100% jump at the chance

Jeff has messaged me regarding shooting together and pre coms were great. He’s was prompt in his responses and emailed me a mood board of themes and ideas that we used during the shoot for reference. When I showed up, he showed me the area where we’d be shooting which was set up beautifully and he had all the props that we’d need for the shoot to achieve the images we wanted. He was very good at directing me to achieve the images he wanted and we spent the afternoon doing a variety of themes. I have seen some of the images that we achieved together and I have to say, I’m so happy with the results! I’d highly recommend working with Jeff and would love the chance to do so in the future!

I had an absolutely enjoyable experience working with Jeff. He is truly one of the nicest people, so down to earth, relaxed and easy going.

We did a fashion/lingerie style shoot at his home studio.

Jeff was perfect with communication both before and during our shoot.

Very polite, respectful, easy going and friendly photographer to work with!

The shoot was so enjoyable and he got so many really great shots!

I would certainly recommend Jeff to other models and I'm looking forward to working with you again!

Jeff IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

Thank you !

Another fantastic shoot with Jeff. We shot on location then headed to the studio and got some lovely shots. Jeff is a lot of fun to work with and I can't wait to work together again!

Had another great shoot with Jeff after almost 2 years. He had some time to work on his jokes - he's quite funny now. Jeff always pays attention to detail, perfecting the lighting to get some fantastic shots. Can't wait to see what we produce on location in a few weeks time.

See you soon :D x

This was my first time working with this talented man, who had joined me at Neon Dreams Studio on my model event today. Ooooh what a pleasure it was!

Jeff is very easy to get along with making the shoot flow swimmingly not only that but he even came prepared with styled looks giving me the chance to put my own spin on the looks. Throughout he was very attentive and we worked delightfully together.

100% Would recommend working with Jeff whilst you can,

Until next time :)

Jeff approached me to work with him on a Hollywood style shoot. Pre comms were flawless and Jeff answered any queries I had and provided a detailed mood board.

The shoot flowed well and we worked through the different sets we had set out to do. Jeff is really easy to work with and he certainly composed a set to perfection, with brilliant results.

A talented photographer and lovely person, I most definitely highly recommend Jeff to work with.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot.

You know it's always a sign that you're working with someone pretty special when time simply flies by, and sure enough that's exactly how my shoot with Jeff went this week!

For one thing, Jeff had prepared a great mood board/set list and gorgeous dresses and had a fantastic set of location backdrops waiting for us (which he also gave me amazing historical info about - how often do you learn cool local history on a shoot?).

He'd also been flawless in his comms etiquette and planning (we had weather backup date options and made good use of them), and I am particularly grateful for his willingness to adjust our shoot plans when I had a surprise family visit at the last minute.

As well as being a lovely person to be around, Jeff has a rare eye for compositions, is thorough with his lighting, focus, and attention to the details that make or break a shot, and is brilliant at giving directions without micromanaging things needlessly.

His shooting pace is just right to keep a dynamic flow while also making sure each shot is right rather than machine-gunning his way through his memory card. That makes a model's job much easier!

Finally, I thought he got really nice images despite my mug being in them and the weather being very temperamental, which was a true achievement.

Thanks Jeff!

Having previously shot with Jeff on a few other occasions during my tours of Hampshire, I knew Jeff was a fab photographer with an abundance of ideas so when he decided to book a slot during my studio day at Fareham Studio, I was thrilled! We get along well together and have built a good rapport between us, really helping us to nail the images. Like our previous shoots, he came prepared with some ideas that he wanted to play with and we got through so many in the short time we had. He has a great eye for detail and really invests his time and energy into the images he wants to create - he's such a lovely gentleman and so friendly and approachable.

His pre shoot communications were exceptional, as before, and his ability to flick between settings and lenses, even in a studio setting was truly magnificent.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future and look forward to a future shoot (which might include a dress ;)!)

Thankyou for yet another incredible few hours!

Jeff is a wonderful photographer and energy to be around. His ideas were exactly what I wanted and we had a great time bringing our ideas to life. He has a fab studio set up with additional equipment which was extremely helpful for us models who might forget makeup or face wipes! I really enjoyed not only working with him but having a chat, we got on so well and spent the first 45 minutes talking! I didn’t want to go home at the end, and only after a few days did he share some of the beautiful images with me. I couldn’t recommend him more, one of my favourite shoots I’ve ever done in my three years of modelling. I can’t wait to work with you again!

Had my first shoot with Jeff on Sunday. He really is such a lovely person that is so easy to get on with. He was very kind, supplying hot drinks and biscuits and was also very professional from start to finish. I felt we got some amazing images and I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished pictures! 100% recommend

After working with Jeff already on a previous tour of Hampshire, I was delighted when we once again planned to work together! Jeff's pre shoot communications are fantatsic and he is always thoroughly prepared with a mood board full of ideas and different poses we can recreate. Working to a 'story board' is always great fun and our styles match up rather nicely so we're always super thrilled with the results!

Jeff is really easy to get along with and very laid back, although we still get plenty of work done! He has a very good eye for detail so picks up on some of the smallest details which can really make or break an image, that many others would simply not notice.

I enjoy working Jeff and definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other models and creatives!

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

I had another fantastic shoot with Jeff at Panavision! We shot a few ideas throughout the afternoon, differing from previous styles. Jeff always comes with a plan and puts a lot of effort into shoots. He is a lovely person to work with and I am always happy with the results.

I can't wait for our next shoot together!

Thanks :)
