Well getting to shoot with you THREE times in the same week was an absolute honour!!!

I love working with such talented photographers that make me look so good ;)

On 24th/25th September we shot at Papplewick Pumping Station and a home shoot at my house on 28th (SORRY I was late that morning).

You're chatty, funny, down to earth, incredibly talented and I wish we lived closer lol.

I'd work with you over and over again without hesitation!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL xX

Nick is a dream to work with... he knows his stuff! Never have I seen a bad shit of me out of this talented photographers camera! I was chuffed to bits that Nick came on my ethereal event and it was the first time we worked outside together as usually it’s been studio but what a treat! Absolutely stunning use of natural light and I’m loving the edits already! Nick is chilled and fun to work with, chatty and we put the world to rights! Always a good shoot with this gentleman.

Thankyou so much and recommended as always to models of all levels.

Best wishes

Had a lovely shoot with Nick Yesterday, focusing on studio set up, boudoir and then my favourite out on location. we shot at a nice relaxed pace which allowed for us to recharge before moving on to a new theme, I cant believe how much we got shot actually, but it was a great day.

I loved what I saw on the back of the camera and already delighted to see Nick has posted "the shot of the day"

Happy to highly recommend and supply reference upon request

Nick is the lighting master!! I had my first shoot with him during a tour last week- he and his wife were so lovely and we had a very chilled out but very productive photoshoot. We shot a mixture of art-nude, portraiture and pre-Raphaelite/old master style with the outfits I had brought and by the end of the shoot we were already planning outfits for next time! We stopped for plenty of coffee and photo reviewing breaks and Nick was even kind enough to drop me back at the station so I didn't have to pull my misbehaving suitcase across town. I absolutely loved the images I saw! Thankyou again, Nick! :)

I've had so many lovely shoots with Nick, and my latest one during my Kent tour was no exception!

Nick is so friendly and down to earth, and shooting with him is always good fun. We did a mix of digital and film and covered several different vintage styles/themes during our 4 hour shoot.

The images I have seen far are SO beautiful and can't wait to see more as they are done :D

Would more than happily recommend him and can't wait for him to join us in Spain in June on one of my Summers Abroad events :D

It was a real pleasure getting the chance to shoot with Nick - a real pleasure indeed! :D This was our first time working together (and hopefully not the last) with so many tremendous images produced both digitally, and with film! A shoot I thoroughly enjoyed being part of. :)

We worked together at Aura Studio which offered exceptional space and facilities to do all the stuff that we did. Our yield ranged from nudey shapes bouncing around the big infinity curve area, edgy glam-fash mix ups and even corsetry. :D There were killer images had in each and every set with a grand model-photographer rapport taking off from the word go and being on a roll throughout our time working together - which just flew by! Nick is inspiring to work with: because of his keen interest in an array of styles, but also in his interest in film. He knows his stuff and how to get the finish he wants in the pictures - but at the same time he is happy to let the model bring their bit to the shoot and express/prance about how they feel the vibe on the day haha! :D Good teamwork! And I'll say it again - the shots Nick took (some of which you can see on here) were of exceptional quality! The photographer who you know that: with every stretch of each toe, and bending that little bit further backwards - Nick will do the shot total justice in lighting and composition.

Aside from working well together - I found Nick to be a real gentleman with a very warm character and generally a heart of gold. :) He was chatty, down-to-earth and easy going... The shoot was as good on the social level as it was prolific and that certainly contributed to it being so effortless to gel during our shoot. I also felt very safe and at ease working with Nick - he obviously approaches shoots with the best levels of proper professionalism and has no-end of respect for models. Our shoot was actually organised via Laura at Aura studio so we didn't really communicate beforehand directly, but I had already received good words from Laura personally so that was a big plus. :)

So on top of that - I am adding my recommendation! :D And it's a glowing one too! I'd definitely vouch for Nick if other models were looking to work with him too; and I myself would be delighted to work with Nick again in the future.

Thank you for a totally splendid shoot!

Sooooo glad we crossed paths and got the opportunity to meet and work together.

Organising the shoot with you was really easy and straight forward and you arrived at my house on time.

We chatted with a brew and then began to shoot. Throughout the shoot you were very friendly, really chatty and funny yet remained a complete professional.

I'd work with you again without hesitation :)

Another wonderful shoot with Nick whilst I was on tour in London!

I always look forward to our shoots together. Nick as always was incredibly respectful but he is also super creative and takes some really beautiful images! We even got round to doing some work with his film camera which was super fun and the results that I have seen up to now look amazing :D

Not only that but he is also a very genuine, kind and down to earth person, its honestly such pleasure working with him and I really enjoy being in his company :)

Already looking forward to our next shoot together whilst I am in Kent at the end of this month, and also his first ever time joining a Summers Abroad event this year too :D

Highly recommended by me!

Athena Studio

Nick came to work at Athena studio for the first time, in fact he was the first photographer ever to shoot there! Nicks fantastic knowledge of light meant he was able to utilise the house really well and created some great images. He was respectful and easy to be around!

Thankyou Nick!

It was lovely to see Nick again and to have him recommend me to TimeLine Events and Derrick. This event was held at Papplewick Pumping Station and it was really great location. Nick's communication was so good and he made sure I knew what to bring with me. He helped look after myself and the other model, Ivy Skye, during the event and made sure we weren't getting too cold. I really enjoyed my day there and I hope I get to work with Nick and also TimeLine Events again. I can't wait to see the pictures Nick creates from this event. Highly recommended from me, thanks Nick!

Scarlett Fox

It truly was lovely getting to have Nick down at Rachelle Summers Stepford Wives event at The Hacienda along with Nicole Rayner :)

Having already worked with Nick I was very excited to see his name on the list for the day, as I knew exactly what to expect. A nice relaxed shooting atmosphere where I would be left to my own free reign to go mad with the poses across the sets! Nick is one of the most down to earth gentlemen you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting let alone shooting with, so down to earth, happy to have a good ole natter and for the cherry on top he takes an bloody great shot! :D

Nick always comes easily and highly recommended by me, and thank. You so much for coming down Nick and putting up with us crazy looney toon models :P

Another fabulous shoot with Nick!

This was our first studio based shoot with lighting as we usually do natural light based bookings, so we decided to concentrate on classic nude shapes to begin with.

Nick had his camera tethered so we could both review the images in between sets and from what I saw we got some fantastic classical images :D

We then finished the shoot with some more edgy fashion nudes that looked incredible too!

I always enjoy working with Nick, and if I don't see him before I really can't wait to host him on my Summers Abroad photographic holiday to Spain next year!

Highly recommended by me :D

Stephanie Dubois

I have shot with Nick several times now and he is always a joy to work with. Our shoots are always relaxed but productive and I always get looked after really well. Nick is a kind and respectful person with a lovely sense of humour - someone who i enjoy shooting with immensely. Love the images we captured. Maybe one of these days \i can persuade him to come over to Cyprus ;)

Highly recommended.

Rachelle Summers

Nick joined us on my Stepford Wives event at the weekend and I'm so glad he did!

He understand the theme so well and absolutely NAILED the images. Like wowser! What he has put up on his facebook so far are all just incredible, I'm so happy with how they are coming out :D

It's always a total pleasure working with Nick! He is a kind, genuine person and a great photographer!

Til next time :D

I was lucky enough to have Nick join me for half a day on my recent 'Back to the 70's' event at the Hacienda.

We all went back nearly 50 years on entering the studio- the mixture of 70's music, the mustard yellows, browns, purples... even the authentic 70's snacks- we wanted everyone walking in to feel like they had literally gone back in time!

I can confidently say everyone involved had blast for the duration of the shoot time. All 16 photographers walked away with stunning images. I know as I did my best to look through as many as I could-!

The event took six months to create, and the four days flew by way too fast.

We have all raised a lot of money for Battersea Cats and Dogs home and also created many wonderful memories- some of which I hope will stay with me until the 2070's- If I'm lucky-!!! ;)

I am over the moon at how well the event went- I have everyone involved to thank for that- the models, assistants, studio, hair stylist and of course, the photographers. I could't have done it without you- so thank you for having faith in my event and booking a slot.

Peace out dudes... :)

I shot with Nick for the second time at my model day at AURA in June, which was just as successful as our first shoot. Nick is a real gent, precomms are spot on, and on the day he is always very polite and respectful to work with. Also totally knows his stuff photographically so the images are always awesome. He's also happy to experiment with ideas which I really like on a shoot as its fun and can result in cool new and unexpected results! Once again very highly recommended by me, thanks Nick and hope we can have shoot 3 soon! :)

Artemis Fauna

I can pretty much only echo the comment I left below on the Artemisian account!

Love working with Nick. Excited to work with him again on my 70's event, a shoot in MK soon and of course, Sicily next year!

Thank you Nick, you are fab! Hope to get that reference back from you one day too, hahahaha!!

See you soon :D :D

Artemisian Luxury Photographic Holidays

Nick (and his lovely wife Barbara) recently joined us on an Artemisian event for the first time and we are super glad they did!

I have known Nick for a few years now so it was lovely to have him join us and spend more time shooting an even huger variety of images together!

The four days were really superb- we all have lots of great memories from the trip.

I can't wait to see more results from the trip, love all the images so far!

Nick and Barbara are just super guests and we hope to welcome them again on our future Artemisian trips :)

Thank you so much again- see you soon :)

Absolute pleasure working with Nick at his home studio. He's brilliant at giving direction, has an excellent eye for great shots and open to new ideas too.

Very highly recommended!
