I had a lovely shoot with John last Saturday, he attended mine and Adrian's Mini group shoot, although the other 2 photographers couldn't make it, John had the 3hrs to himself. This worked out great has we use the time to not only get lot's of great images but experiment with new lighting and techniques.

John is lovely, respectful and professional, I hope to see him again soon for another shoot.

Thank you

I had my first (and hopefully not last!) shoot with the wonderful John yesterday at my home; from first communication John was very obviously a lovely, friendly, polite and easy going person, and we started chatting as soon as he came through the door (huge bonus points for offering straight away to take his shoes off !).

We shot for 3 hours in various areas around my home and garden, and John was very happy to me to suggest a few ideas to compliment his own. As you can see, John’s work is absolutely stunning, so the pressure was on for me :-) but John is such a gentleman, so talented and passionate about his work that it made my job very easy indeed!

A great shoot, great company and lots of laughs - what more could you want!

Thank you John for an amazing shoot, you are welcome back any time!

I worked with John for the first time when he attended my studio weekend at the wonderful Inspire Studio.

John is very lovely, easy to get along with and a good laugh. We worked together wonderful and filled our time creative out of the box looks and flowing conversation.

100% Would recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with John during my first studio day at Inspire Studios.

John was so lovely to work with and very easy to chat to. We flew through a load of ideas and got such a fab range of images. I'm absolutely loving the results from our shoot - I'm so glad he booked on! It was a very enjoyable shoot.

I would definitely recommend working with John if you get the chance.

Thank you again!

My second shoot with John and my first booking at Inspire. As ever John is faultless with communication and extremely courteous. The shoot plan and progression was highly productive yet relaxed. It was a bonus to be asked to do some martial arts - post lockdown I am a bit rusty but I hope we nailed one or two images. Thank you for booking me John and for introducing me to Inspire.

After I had to change dates I finally got to shoot with John and what a wonderful day it was. Communication beforehand was excellent and meant I knew what to have ready and what to expect. John arrived promptly and was utterly courteous and professional throughout giving good and clear direction when needed. He was also friendly and great fun and I enjoyed every minute of our shoot. We managed to achieve all of the sets we had planned - even a quick outdoor shoot in between showers of rain. I have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone lucky enough to work with him - and would be delighted to shoot with him again. Thank you, John, for an amazing shoot!

Another fun shoot with John. This time at F8 Studio after my Group Shoot. John arrived early and enthusiastic! His pre comms were really good and I knew exactly what to bring to the shoot! I didn't think we would shoot through all the ideas but I was amazed we did!! :)

The shoot flowed really well and flew! John has been kind enough to send me photos for my own portfolio and provided a great reference. I always enjoy shooting with John and would highly recommended shooting with him to others :) x

Retro Rob

This was my first shoot with the amazing talent of Vintage Photography at Inspire Studios on another Retro Rob and Melany Tour and I am sure it won't be my last after seeing the awesome images we produced.

John has a great eye for an image and knew exactly where to capture that killer shot.

If you are looking to recreate a vintage feel to your shoot make sure to book John you won't be disappointed!

Thank you so much for a brilliant shoot look forward to working with you again soon.

Had another great shoot with John, this time with my modelling partner Retro Rob - we hosted a Fred and Ginger style day at Inspire Studio and John really captured the magic of what we were trying to create. The pics he took speak for themselves and I look forward to seeing more from the shoot.

Many thanks John :)

John arrived early to our third shoot (1st location) and scouted out the location I had found. He was welcoming, chatty and his usual happy self when we met up. His pre comms and communication during and after the shoot were excellent too. We were blessed with a beautiful day! The sun was out and it was during the heatwave but we adapted to the weather, and found some shady areas to shoot in around the picturesque Cotswold village of Blockley.

John is a lovely relaxed photographer who sets a simple brief which has always been easy to follow. He is open to my poses and will make suggestions for his ideas too which I like. We then moved onto the Lavender fields, I had no issue sharing a car either with John. He is always completely respected and professional at all times.

The Lavender fields were hot! As there is little shade there, so we only shot for an hour or so at the fields. At a nice relaxed pace, we shot some fashion and lifestyle there. The shoot was fun and pleasant and I would definitely recommend John to other models.

See you in the Autumn John! :)

Great first shoot from vintage photography even though the weather surprised us and went from sunny forecast to rain. Very pleased to see a photographer make the most of everything we have to offer at our studio and look forward to seeing your final images !

Hope to see you return!

Had a fantastic first shoot with ‘Vintage Photography’ at Inspire Studios a few days ago!

We created some great shots as well having a good laugh which made the hours we had fly by! It was too quick haha!

V.P was very professional and a lovely gentleman who put up with all my kinds of music. Made me feel very welcome and relaxed throughout and everything just flowed - would love to shoot together again!

And can’t wait to see the edits!

Definitely recommended!!!

Was lovely to see John back again at the studio since lockdown. He's always such a pleasure to have at the studio with his gentle manner and easy way he gets the images he wants. He works well with the models and is respectful of the model and the studio. Happily see John back again and again!

Thank you so much John for a thoroughly enjoyable shoot at Inspire Studios! We covered wide range of looks from art nude to dance and vintage and John was an absolute pleasure to work with.

I loved what he was capturing and look forward to seeing the images and indeed working with him again in November!

Highly recommended 😊

It was so nice to see John again on Saturday! He contacted me the day before my Pin Up Group Shoot at F8 Studio in Gloucester and joined the other photographers for the morning. John always welcomes you with a lovely smile and is always super friendly and bubbly! Our last shoot was a couple of years ago which I enoyed back then so was nice to shoot together again. John followed all structure for the group shoot well and was chatty to all the other photographers too. I find John a pleasure to shoot with. He was also early and organised. John left me a lovely reference and emailed me a good selection of edits a couple days after the shoot - which were fab and I am starting to upload. I would highly recommend John to other models and would of course shoot with him again myself - thanks so much for attending John :) x

I worked with John at a studio day at Inspire Studios the other day. Honestly such a pleasure to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on set. The two hours flew by. We captured some amazing images together that we were both extremely excited / happy with. It’s always a pleasure to work with people like John who are so kind, considerate and passionate about what they do. Would happily shoot with John again. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from the shoot.

Thank you John for a great couple of hours.

It was great to see John back for the first time since lockdown and he was very respectful of the studio and adhered to all the Covid secure measures I had in place. It was lovely to see him working with the model doing some dance photography which he enjoys. He was great with the model and worked well with her.

I worked with John again recently- this time at my brand new home studio on a small Art Nude and Bodyscape workshop and we had an absolute BLAST! :)

Like me John also LOVES the vintage era, so its always lovely to catch up and work together! John is fun, kind, creative and very respectful.

I would love to work together again and really look forward to seeing the results!

Thankyou so much and really hope to see you again soon! Highly recommended to all, Helen x
