first ever shoot with Phillip, we shot at Thurston Lodge, he was great with precoms super professional but also very approachable.

he was on time, came with a lot of great kit, made me feel totally at ease and relaxed as he set up each set

very easy going with makeup changes ...

what was a breathe of fresh air was that he liked to use props, or have a reason/story behind his images

we used the piano , the 'library' and even gosh.... a face mask!

was a lot of fun and im excited for our next shoot together

highly recommend

Philip was a joy to work with. Pre shoot communications were great. He has a relaxed and easy going approach to shooting which makes you feel instantly at ease. Back of the camera work looked amazing. Can't wait to see the final results and hope we work together again soon!

I had a fantastic shoot with Philip at 'The Clocktower'.

Excellent communication before and after the shoot, would absolutely work with Philip again. He is professional, kind and a joy to work with.

Such a professional, easy going, kind and considerate photographer. A great shoot idea and Philip created some amazing shots. Excellent communication. Brought heat pads and drinks and constantly enquired after the model to make sure she was ok (outdoor shoot). Highly recommend Philip and hope to work with you again 😀

Second shoot with Philip and just as fab as the first if not better! We worked through a great range of ideas and all the while Philip is great company and just the easiest person to work with

It's wonderful when people have creative and artistic ideas - loved the smoke bombs and loved the 'Macabre' concept - thank you for another excellent shoot and look forward to the next! Back of the camera looked fantastic!

Highly recommended

A fairly spontaneous shoot with Phillip was had yesterday morning and it was great fun! He was very clear with the positions he was after and also extremely conscious of the weather conditions being suitable at all times. He arrived on time and was careful not to make me work overtime. I had a wonderful shoot with him and can't wait to work with him again.

Great first shoot with Philip! He had awesome ideas which we had discussed beforehand for creating some really cool gothic themed violin images

The shots on the camera looked amazing! Philip did a fantastic job of framing and really making the images dramatic

He was also incredibly understanding of my slight mix up with the cemetery times for the second part of our shoot - so very much look forward to hopefully shooting that in the future!

Lovely person and wonderful photographer - and an excellent sense of humour which is a must!!!

Thank you!!

I had the pleasure of working with Phillip at Ipswich Waterfront today and at another location!

Conversation prior to the shoot was clear & professional, and this manner continued whilst we worked. I was made to feel at ease the whole time, and was never under any pressure to perform anything unsafe for me. The weather fluctuated and Phillip ensured I was kept warm throughout!

After a bad experience with a photographer recently, my mum came to the shoot to meet him, and when going to the next location she drove me separately. Phillip was completely fine and supportive of my mum's presence for the initial meet, which was great!

I look forward to the next time we shoot together and I think we got some really great pictures from today!

A really fab experience!

Worked with Philip for the first time yesterday at The Little Chelsea Gallery and it was great fun, we got through a few sets and it was nice and relaxed throughout as he was doing some practice work with the lighting. We had a few ideas to work with beforehand but a lot of it was very much trial and error but I think we got some good shots of what I saw on the back of the camera so I'm looking forward to seeing the final images!

Philip is a great guy, very respectful of levels and has a very relaxed approach to his work whilst also wanting to get the shot right. I would highly recommend working with him and we have already spoken about another shoot later on in the year so I'm looking forward to that.

Thanks again for a great shoot! :)

Philip booked myself and another model to do a vintage style shoot in a stunning historical building.

Communications were great before hand, the location was incredible, the other model was just lovely, and the shoot was relaxed and fun.

The images looked fantastic on the back of the camera and I'm excited to see how they turn out.

It is most certainly recommended to work with Philip, should you be lucky enough to get the chance!

Had another great shoot with Philip at the weekend, when he was visiting my area again.

We tried out a different location this time, and I love the way Philip makes use of what is there. He has a really good eye for good spots, and lighting, and gives good directions.

As before, he is very easy to talk to and super friendly, and the time just flew by.

Looking forward to our next shoot.

100% recommended. x

I have the pleasure of meeting and working with Philip. I applied to one of his castings. The pre-shoot communication was great and we arranged to shoot early in a day in Hitchin. Weren't we lucky with the weather? It wasn't too cold or too hot, just perfect. Hitchin town centre was a great choice with endless possibilities. Philip was very pleasant and relaxed. It was a very chilled out shoot and we were choosing the backdrop and clothing as we wondered around. We finished in a pretty little cafe shooting lifestyle and having a cup of tea. It was a lovely way to spend a beautiful morning. I had a great time with Philip and would be more than happy to shoot with him again.

lovely lunchtime shoot around London, he gave great direction and nice and relaxed. Although we didn't have much time we used it wisely to concentrate on a couple of interesting themes including fitness and I cant wait to see the results as they looked fab on the camera!

Great relaxed, fun and productive shoot with Philip, he was very polite and professional throughout and made me feel comfortable. We got some gorgeous shot in the evening light and it was fantastic working with someone so creative! Very much recommended, and I am looking forward to our next shoot!

Had a fun location shoot with Philip at the weekend when he was visiting my area. What a lovely man to work with! He made me feel relaxed straightaway by telling me that he was only looking to 'practice', and was happy to shoot me in the outfit I had turned up in, lol.

I did change into a few different outfits, and we managed to create some beautiful summer images in different locations.

I really enjoyed the shoot and have no hesitation recommending Philip to anyone. Great photographer, lovely person and a lot of fun to work with. x

I really like working with Philip! We have shot together many times (at least 5 if I'm right) and all our shoots were really great. Philip is professional, kind, helpful and really easy to work with, he always has a lot of great ideas and interesting props. He also knows many beautiful locations. Philip is highly recommended! I'm looking forward to working with him again :)

Philip contacted me for a photoshoot a couple of weeks ago with a few ideas he wanted to shoot. We went over a shoot plan and once we knew what we were going to shoot and had chosen a location we set a date. All pre shoot comms were excellent.

Philip and his partner arrived at mine on time and picked me up, and we drove to our location. On the way we stopped off and he got us all cake which was a lovely treat.

Once we got to the location they set up their lights while I got ready and we shot for a couple of hours, then took a small break before shooting the second set. I found him very easy to shoot with, laid back, open to ideas with plenty of creative ideas.

I would highly recommend shooting with PhilIp, he is ace

I worked with Philip today on a very last minute project that I only joined yesterday.

We had a very productive and fun day shooting in a gothic/halloween style (My favourite!)

He was a pleasure to work with and the images I have seen on camera look amazing!

He was very professional which shows in his images and is a lovely photographer to work with.

I look forward to seeing the final images and working with him again!

Definitely recommend! :)

Had a great shoot with Philip today

He had the shoot planned out well in advance, sourced a location, contacted an MUA, and had a really good plan which ensured everything ran smoothly. Pre-shoot communication was great, and allowed me to prepare to get some great images. Philip, Sarah (MUA) and I collaborated on a wonderful shoot, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and by the looks of it, we got some great images! I can't wait to work with Philip again; he comes very highly recommended!
