Had a great shoot with Neil on location in Doncaster doing fashion.

His pre-shoot comms were excellent and he arrived early at our agreed location.

He's very nice and chatty and easy to work with so I felt relaxed the whole day. Neil gives great direction when needed and was incredibly patient with the barriers my hearing loss sometimes creates.

The weather was against us a bit but we stuck it out and got some great images.

Would highly recommend Neil to all models.

Had a great shoot with Neil in Nottingham City. Upon commencement to the shoot, Neil proved excellent communication and ensured that everything entailed in the shoot was clear and understood by me as a beginner model and as the dates came up we discussed outfits and location and potential weather changes. On the day, We met at the set time and Neil was friendly yet professional throughout the whole shoot. We travelled through the locations discussed and Neil gave me excellent tips and advice to develop my career. He would show me pictures as they were taken to help me improve which I found helpful. The weather did unfortunately deteriorate so we had to cut the shoot short but we went for a coffee to look through the photos taken and have received some great pictures since. Neil also was very helpful as I'm interested in photography and took time out of his day to show me bits of equipment and useful information as a startup kit. Would definitely work with Neil again!

Was so nice to meet with Neil again after nearly 3 months of last working with him when I first started modelling.

We did a home shoot at mine, Neil's pre comms where fantastic and he arrived on time. Neil is very professional but also very friendly.

I feel relaxed working with Neil and never feel pressure. Neil came with all his equipment and a range of different back drops.

I honestly had so much fun creating creative editorial looks with Neil. Neil also came with accessories such a neon face paint, feathers, glasses and tape.

I really really enjoyed it and we got some brilliant shots.

Thanks,

Paige 😊

I've finally got a chance to work with Neil after keeping in touch over 5 years. We arranged outdoor location photoshoot which went excellent overall. Neil arrived in a good time and assisting me with car parking ticket. Neil had his equipment & everything ready for the shoot. 2hrs passed by so quickly. We had a short break and chat over coffee. I found this helped a lot in understanding each other's way of working/expectation of photoshoot, sharing ideas/experiences.

Neil is now one of my favourite photographers which I am definitely plaining to work with the future.

I am glad we made this happen to our first photoshoot, hopefully many more to arrange.

A professional photographer as well as being friendly. Highly recommended Neil to all levels of model.

This was my third shoot with Neil, and he is fast becoming my referred photographer to collaborate with on creative projects 😁

Neil is always punctual and reliable, his pre shoot comms are always spot on, and during the shoot he is patient, professional and skilled with his camera and compositions.

I highly recommend shooting with Neil if you haven't already, he is a very versatile photographer who can shoot many styles with ease.

I enjoy working with Neil so much we are now discussing shooting a creative short video over the summer :)

I absolutely loved my shoot with Neil! We had good communication beforehand and Neil advised me on what would or wouldn’t look good regarding outfits.

On the day Neil was very helpful with advising me on posing and gave me lots of useful tips throughout the day which as a new model was very helpful!

We got on very well and Neil was lovely to chat to which really put me at ease.

I absolutely love the final images and if I had the opportunity would definitely shoot with Neil again!

It was my first time working with Neil today and I am really glad to have chosen him as my first outdoor/location shoot photographer. Upon meeting we had plenty to talk about especially within the modelling/photography industry, I learnt a lot from Neil as he has many years of experience and I knew from the offset he was the right person for starting outdoor work with. We chose a woodland nearby and had a walk around to find the right spot where i felt most comfortable, I was a little anxious as it was busy but after a long walk around I braved it and cracked on with the shoot. I feel naturally confident with posing but Neil was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, brought his own ideas as well as used some of mine & offered me support and advice when/if needed. He set everything up perfectly and made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and at ease. He also came across from start to finish as very respectful, understanding and considerate. I got around 80 images and was very happy with how they looked which he showed me at the end of the shoot and throughout. He also seemed very pleased with how they came out too and he boosted my confidence by focusing on my strengths rather than my weaknesses which is what I needed for a first time in public shoot. He dropped me off home, we went through when I will receive my images and how it works moving forward and hopefully I will be re booking with him again in the upcoming months for a second shoot! 📸

Shot with Neil for my first city location shoot, and it was a great experience. Neil was very friendly, professional easy to work with and full of great tips and guidance! I really liked that I had the opportunity to sit and look through all photos at the end of the shoot, I was really happy with the images & look forward to having another opportunity to work with him again :).

Honestly so glad I met Neil today, I am just starting out modelling, and I was very nervous, I was nervous about getting poses right or doing the wrong thing. When I met Neil I felt really relaxed he reassured me and gave me lots of advice, I no longer felt nervous. I felt really comfortable and had lots of fun on the shoot, Neil helped me with poses and positioning. He gave me loads of confidence and made me feel good about myself. I can't thank Neil enough for travelling all this way to shoot with me. He genuinely made me believe in myself and encouraged me to keep on modelling! Neil has a real eye for creativity and is very talented. Thank you Neil for today :)

MY FAVOURITE SHOOT SO FAR!!

Well I can’t praise Neil enough! From the moment he got to my home he was professional and made me feel completely at ease.

Being new to modelling I am unsure of poses and needed a lot of direction and Neil was amazing at this and I didn’t once feel silly. He knew what worked for me and what didn’t, he showed me when a picture didn’t work and explained why and then how it can be improved.

I had so much fun on this shoot, Neil even brought a speaker and played a playlist of great music to help me relax.

Really lovely, friendly and funny guy….would highly recommend and hope to shoot together again in the near future! Thankyou!!

I have worked with Neil multiple times and we always get the desired images, publications from shoots and have fun throughout the shoot too hence why I ALWAYS look forward to shooting with Neil!

As always, Neil’s pre communication is always on point. We discussed we would do a location shoot but also incorporate night pics with neon lighting. I was super excited to shoot, as it was something different!

We also talked about location, outfits, timings and meeting points.

Neil always conducts research before the shoot and ensures that directions are simple to understand, although I got lost this time round but Neil was so patient and understanding.

Neil is such an amazing person to work with, professional and a gent. We talked about ideas on where we can shoot, catch up and have lots of giggles too throughout the shoot.

Neil allows me to take the lead in poses but will give direction too which I appreciate.

I would highly recommend working with Neil and I can’t wait to shoot again. You’re amazing!

Thank you again for making the shoot enjoyable and I can’t wait to see the edits!!

Shot with Neil just a couple of days ago. Such a lovely welcoming person. So creative and full of ideas, made me feel so comfortable. Love Neil’s work and I’m so excited to see what we created. Neil was full of such helpful positive advice in terms of modelling and was so encouraging. I would definitely shoot with Neil again he has an amazing eye for such a quality fashion shot. He’s pre comms were fantastic and he was in location as and when he said he would be. Would definitely recommend and would love to shoot again.

Neil is an extremely skilful, talented and knowledgeable photographer. He gave me really detailed information about the shoot beforehand so I knew exactly what to bring and everything went extremely smoothly. We got all incredible shots. We utilised the city Nottingham very well I feel. Neil had endless great ideas for shots. Neil's directions for poses are very clear and very easy to follow. Absolutely lovely guy, had great conversations throughout the whole of the shoot. Would very much highly recommend!! 10/10

Today was my second shoot, the first being in Feb and my first shoot with a tog from PP! He arrived on time and we had a good catch up before we began shooting, Neil is very friendly and chatty. We covered 3 very different looks during the shoot and Neil has produced great images for all 3 and was happy to even go up a stepladder to nail the perfect shot! Would certainly recommend and will definitely work with him a third time :)

Had a fantastic shoot yesterday with Neil and I couldn't be happier. We shot fashion and lingerie and Neil was so helpful, professional and very friendly and as a new model I actually learned a lot.

Neil did advise he was very busy so to expect 10-15 days for my edited images to come through but they started coming through last night.

So happy with the images I chose at the shoot and the edits coming through are fab.

Would definitely work with Neil again :)

This is my 5th shoot with Neil and I absolutely love working with Neil.

As usual the pre communication is always on point. We discussed about doing a video shoot as well as a photoshoot this time round. We wanted something different and Neil suggest a ‘goddess’ theme which I jumped at!

Neil suggested the location for burbage woods and it was the perfect location.

We sorted out timings, clothings and props and I couldn’t wait to shoot.

On the day, Neil was waiting for me in the car park of the woods with a big smile.

If you haven’t shot with Neil, you really should book him up as soon as possible as he is a first class tog with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Shot after shot, I was really happy with the angle, direction when needed and his sense of humour too.

We’ve already agreed to shoot again Christmas time!

Can’t wait to see the edited images.

Thanks Neil for being amazing!

The photoshoot wit Neil was great! He made me feel really comfortable and at ease whilst shooting on location.

He would give amazing advice- which for someone who is fairly new to the modelling world- was really insightful and he had helped me out a lot. I really enjoyed collaborating with Neil, he was friendly, talkative and very professional.

Neil was clear and specific about the kind of shots he wanted and gave me some really good tips about various poses throughout the shoot. The pictures turned out great!

We got along extremely well together and I would absolutely consider working with him again in the foreseeable future. I highly recommend him.

A massive thank you Neil, you're amazing! :)

I had my first shoot with Neil today and I was so impressed by his professionalism and he is an all round lovely man. The pre shoot communication and organisation was spot on, Neil knew exactly what he had in mind and where was good to go for shoot locations.

I'm still new to modelling and Neil's advice, hints, tips and guidance were really appreciated. I felt comfortable and confident. I can't wait to see the finished pictures as I know they'll be amazing.

Can't wait to work with Neil again.
