Had another fantastic shoot with Neil at the weekend. Neil’s pre comms are clear with great ideas for what he wants to achieve whilst more than happy to listen and take on my ideas too. We had an excellent location shoot whilst being a fantastic photographer he was a great tour guide too! Thankyou for about her great day

I have been impatiently waiting to shoot with Neil since our last shoot where 4 of our pictures were published in two magazines! This is my fourth shoot with Neil!

As always, Neil’s pre communication is always on point. We discussed where we would shoot, locations, outfits, timings and meeting points.

I really appreciate how Neil conducts research before the shoot and ensures that directions are simple to understand (I get confused, easily!)

Neil is ever so professional and so lovely to work with. We got some awesome shots and had lots of giggles too. I am a confident ‘poser’ so Neil allows me to pose but will give direction too, which I love.

I would highly recommend working with Neil and I can’t wait to shoot again, preferably in the summer as I am impressed with Neil’s direction and professionalism.

Thank you for a fun day!

I had a great shoot with Neil on Saturday. We had great communication before on PP and Instagram. The shoot was at my home, Neil had many backdrops and all his lighting equipment. We started off with a chat.

Neil was so easy to get on with, I felt really comfortable. Neil gave me guidance throughout the shoot which helped so much with my confidence.

I received some of the images today, I love everyone of them, I look forward to seeing the rest.

I would highly recommend Neil, I would love to work with Neil again. Thankyou

Last Sunday was my first time meeting Neil.

Pre coms were great. We both went over our ideas and outfits.

Neil and I both showed up early.

Neil took us to a Brilliant location and was full of energy and ideas.

He Is very professional, and definitely knows what he's doing.

He was respectful and polite when it came to outfit changes.

He even kept me in the loop with all his camera settings. As I'm a photographer myself. Which was really nice of him.

He was open to my crazy ideas when we were shooting which was so much fun. And he also gave me lots of direction as this is definitely new to me.

The images look amazing.

And I cannot wait to do another shoot with Neil in the future. Highly recommend working with him.

Had my first ever shoot with Neil today. Neil is a lovely man! He Explained everything thoroughly and made me feel very at ease. Very warming and friendly I really enjoyed the shoot and can’t wait to shoot again!

Had my first shoot with Neil few days ago and what can I say, an absolute legend! Very professional and thorough. From the initial communication, I knew instantly that we would work well together. On meeting Neil, It was as if we'd known each other a while. Conversation was always flowing and I giggled a lot at his super witty and fun sense of humour. I really enjoyed that even though Neil had some specific ideas of what he wanted, I was encouraged to put forward my ideas of what works with my ability. Together we created exceptional work.

I 100% highly recommend!

Neil was my first shoot with a Photographer from Purpleport, and I could not have been happier with it 🙂

Neil's communication ahead of the shoot was perfect, very informative and timely, and he text to let me know on the day when to expect him etc.

Neil brought his lighting set up which was in good working order and very modern We shot a mixture of natural lighting and studio style shots with backdrops and lights and all were executed to a high standard.

Neil is ever so good at giving direction too which was important to me as a fairly new Model.

Neil's edits have been provided within 10 days and are of a high standard

Neil is warm and friendly and very easy to get along with, it was a pleasure to shoot with him and I look forward to the next one 😃

Will start by saying that Neil is an absolute gentleman. He is very knowledgable and talked through everything he was doing and why, to get the best images possible.

Comms were fantastic from the initial message right through to the end of the shoots, he arrived early to my house and got himself set up while I finished off putting final touches to my hair and makeup. Outfits were discussed and as promised Neil had a variety of different backdrops for the shoot.

During the shoot Neil gave good direction without being pushy to get some awesome images. First couple of edits were sent same day too.

If you get the chance to work with Neil definitely go for it, would 100% recommend.

Shooting with Neil was a fun and informative experience. This being our first shoot, communication was easy, and we relayed ideas back and forth on the type of shoot we wanted/ looks & clothes. Looking at a more Urban Goth feel in Kelham Island. We both arrived on time at the specified location and time and headed to Kelham Island where we found a few locations in which to try shooting. I was impressed by Neil’s knowledge of cameras and his experience in the modelling & photography world. The photos that were produced, I was extremely impressed with and cannot recommend him enough to anyone for outside location shoots. I also had the pleasure of trying out a smoke bomb for the first time which he brought with him to the shoot. He was very professional, and we ended up with an assortment of different posed and outfitted photos. Which he let me look through and pick my favourites. I would love to shoot with Neil again in the future to produce more high-quality photos of which he also edited himself.

Well where to start with Neil (all good)

From day one of contact on here Neil's communication has been excellent, new on here I was apprehensive of trust and did all the relevant research before confirming a shoot. Very shortly after between the positive references, his style of images and most importantly the nothing but professional communication between us I confirmed a date and looked forward to working with him. Before the shoot Neil and I discussed creativity and what we both wanted to achieve as it was a TFP shoot and he gave lots of very welcomed advise too. On the morning of the shoot Neil kept me informed of arrival time and even asked if he could pick something up for lunch for me 🙂

On arrival his high professional standards were maintained from showing me his ID and covid passports to sit and discussing the format for the day. I was very relaxed and could of chatted for hours with him talking about photography and all the different lenses and what differences they make. I never appreciated how much goes into creating such fab images.

Throughout the day we had lots of fashion changes with us both adding our own creativity into the shots, I felt very relaxed and comfortable to make suggestions as i was happy to listen to his. We laughed and chatted throughout the day which made the time fly and really enjoyed it.

At the end of the shoot we finished as we started, chatting about the images and Neil showing me how to work his camera for me to see them and picking which ones I likes and didn’t like. I can honestly say there wasn’t very many at all I didn’t like!

Overall Neil is a fantastic and very professional photographer who not only makes you look and feel fantastic but also shares his experience, knowledge and advise. I really hope to work with Neil again in the future and wish him all the best in his very exciting future projects!

My third shoot with Neil this year and I feel super blessed and grateful to work with such a talented and professional photographer!

Pre comms is open and effective, every details is discussed from outfits, timings and venue to the quality and mood setting of the shoot. Neil arrived before me and gave me a tour of the location.

Neil is friendly, funny and a pleasure to work with. He gives direction when needed and the first image is awesome!

Thank you. Summer shoot arranged already!!

Neil is a great photographer to work with, very professional, and friendly. Everything was well thought out and discussed clearly over purpleport prior to the shoot. He arrived early and was straight to the point but also was easy to speak to and ask questions. Really helpful with directions and advice on things like how to pose. The edited images are great! Would really recommend and would love to work with again.

Had my first shoot with Neil Bennett, we had discussed everything from cosplay shoots, neon shoot and lingerie! He was such a delight to chat with and arrived on time! The shoot went great and he was such a joy! I highly recommend him! His finished photos are the best!

MarinaTheModel

It was my first shoot with Neil and I had a great experience. Neil is a very organised professional photographer as well as a lovely kind person who I found very easy and comfortable to work with. He was very helpful, definitely knew what he was doing and every now and then kindly gave me very useful tips on posing and modelling. Throughout a few hours of the photoshoot Neil was making sure I felt comfortable and safe wherever we went and I really appreciate that. I enjoyed working with Neil.

My second shoot with Neil and I can say it was even better than our first shoot together!

Pre comms were great, we talked about outfits, hair (decided on straight to give a different look) location and times. Neil met me with a massive smile at the location and I was super excited from start to finish.

I really like Neils calm nature and he makes me feel super comfortable. He directs when needed and compliments throughout the shoot!

I think we work great together and we’re shooting next summer again! Can’t wait and thank you for being awesome!

Had an absolutely excellent shoot with Neil a few days ago. Neil is friendly and very easy to get on with, I felt comfortable throughout the whole shoot.

Neil is very knowledgeable and definitely knows what he's doing, the shoot was both spontaneous and structured throughout which was a great mix.

I've had a few photos back already which is brilliant and the photos are stunning, really good quality and finished to a very high standard.

Highly recommended

Neil is a very friendly photographer with a fantastic eye for detail.

He was very kind and gave great direction and encouragement. He gave me wonderful advice and tips too!

Communication before the shoot was great and I'd love to work with him again

I had a shoot arranged with Neil and fellow model Sirena Violeta. Between us we came up with the location of Annesley Church and a goth/dark theme.

Neil was a great photographer to shoot with. Professional, friendly, came with ideas but equally let us express our own (ideas where to shoot in the location, outfits).

His photos are excellent and one in particular is a new favourite of mine, as it shows off a piece of clothing beautifully. He was efficient with his edits and evrry photo is wonderful.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Neil again.

After, what I would say has been around a year of communicating a shoot (due to covid) we were finally able to shoot together!

It was well worth the wait, Neil was very friendly and VERY respectful when outfit changing. He arrived with all props and ideas and a great set up.

He was very complimentary of the way me and the other model work together.

Having now received a couple of images, I am very happy with the quality and I cannot wait to see the rest of the images!!

I would highly recommend working with him, so much so, we have already had a conversation about shooting together again soon!
