I had a lovely first shoot with Phil recently, across two locations. He had some great ideas and I think we got a really good variety of mini sets, making for a very enjoyable day. It was friendly and relaxed. Happily recommended!

Phill Smith is a very nice kind and sweet person. We had a lovley shoot. He made a moodboard for me and mr.npr to look at and also brought images to the shoot which we used as a starting point and went from there. We had fun and really enjoyed our shoot together!

I am looking forward to see the results :)

☆ Definately recommanded ☆

I had a fantastic first shoot with Phil! We went to some beautiful locations and shot a variety of pictures from art-nude to fashion to fairytale inspired.

He is great company, interesting to talk to and a lot of fun. His pre-shoot communication was excellent- I knew exactly what was required and what I needed to bring, he made sure I was comfortable, well fed and watered at all times and he made sure I was at the station in plenty of time for my train.

Couldn't recommend him any more highly. :)

MR. NPR

There are Many out there that like to consider them-self's as photographers but there are very few that do it day in day out for the joy of capturing soft beautiful image's.

Phil has talent in the fact he speak's out loud about the idea of the image as if it was a drawing or a painting that is about to take place. A true photographer at heart knows the technical side of things well and is very particular about poses and lighting which means the shots are all the more better for it.

Really nice Gentleman and considerate of the model's mood and situation's and intresting to talk withwe had a good laugh while shooting.

We worked at a stunning hotel room where me and my girlfriend ivylino was blown away with. This was a creative duo style shot in admiration of the Great Jack V's style and i can't wait to see the edits...

It was a pleasure

Thanks and would highly recommend him to all and i would also work with him again!

As a makeup artist and hair stylist I have worked with Phil recently on 3 occasions and each time he has given me an exact brief of what look he is after. He's a great communicator so you are never in doubt as to what he requires of you for his shoot. He pays great attention to detail right down to the very finest of things. A pleasure to work with, he always creates a relaxed atmosphere and produces beautiful photography every time.

I had my 4th shoot with Phil yesterday and again it was such a wonderfully productive day.

Phil is the absolute dream to work with. He is a true star at creating scenes and organising locations that are perfect for the overall image. He is excellent at styling, organising all the props and even having a MUA to get the perfect look.

We were able to work through so many different sets throughout the day and I can't believe where the time went!

I love working with Phil. His attention to detail really shines through and creates stories with his work.

Loved my day. Thank you so much Phil.

Cannot recommend Phil enough.

I spent a few hours working with Phil on some Autumnal-themed images yesterday. Pre-comms were great so I knew exactly what to bring and Phil was happy to pick me up and drive us to the locations I had suggested. I found Phil to be professional and very considerate in the cold weather; he's also a real perfectionist when it comes to his images and has an eye for the details. I look forward to next time.

Had my 3rd shoot with Phil today and as a team we just keep getting better and better!!

Phil is an absolute dream to work with. His organisation in thinking of a theme, then to go out and source everything you could image to make the theme work is exceptional. He was able to book the most incredible make up artist to complete the look and my word I was taken aback at how different I looked. Phil supplied my outfit, a stunning location and even an original 60s mini!!

All in all a very productive day which I am still on a high from. One of my best shoots by far!

Thank you Phil.

Highly recommended!!

I had a fantastic shoot with Phil on my down South tour.

We shot on the beach and on location, and got lots of lovely varied shots in the different areas. The shoot was lots of fun, and the weather was great too - hot and sunny!

Phil himself is a great photographer to work with, gives good direction and strives to get the images just right. He's professional, chatty, looked after me and is a laugh too.

Hope to see you next time :)

I had my second shoot with Phil today on location in Swanage.

As ever his pre shoot communication was superb. We arranged a period shoot and he had absolutely everything covered from the locations, complete outfit and even a make up artist to do a specific 50s style.

Phil had put so much effort into our shoot. He researched the look for the time, spent a lot of time organising the outfit, going out of his way to make sure he had back ups if needed! And even organising a great diner and steam train to really get the whole effect of the period.

I absolutely loved my day. The time seemed to fly by. Phil is such a gentleman, friendly and very professional. I didn't want to change out of my clothes!

Fantastic day and I cannot wait to see the final results.

Thank you Phil.

Highly recommended

Phil came to London to shoot me and was an absolute delight to work with. The time just flew by and we did a mix of indoor work and outdoor location, working to a brief with great boudoir and erotic inspiration.

The images are beautiful from what I saw on the back of the camera. Phil is a wedding photographer primarily, so really has an eye for beautiful composition and exposes for the image perfectly every time.

Add to that, he is friendly, chatty, super interesting to talk to, wholly creative in both art and music.. and we had a giggle too.

Can't recommend highly enough and I would love to work with him again one day. Thanks for a brilliant day!

I had a location shoot with Phil today. His pre shoot communication was excellent, a lot of information so I knew exactly what to bring and was prepared.

We did both nude and clothed shoots in different areas which worked really well. Great locations which Phil could posistion me to get the full beauty of the shot.

Phil is professional, calm and friendly. He made me feel at ease during the shoot and made me laugh!

All in all a productive day.

Recommend.

Had a lovely shoot with Phil a couple of weeks ago at my flat, he was well prepared with books that he had marked down for ideas which was great as we both could work together on great images!

pre-comms were excellent and the shoot went smoothly. Overall I highly enjoyed the shoot and would recommend to anyone :)

Had a wonderful successful shoot with Phil today.

He came fully equipped, on time, with plenty of ideas.

He made the shoot very comfortable and relaxed, and above all enjoyable. He is very easy to get in with and generally a lovely guy.

I highly recommend and look forward to working with again on the future. X x x

I worked with Phil for the first time on Saturday at my home, and alongside Lottie21. Phil was a real pleasure to work with; he had prepared lots of ideas for the shoot which we spent some time going through before beginning. Phil works in a very calm and relaxed manner, which in my view helps to get the very best results. Phil is one of those instantly likeable people - as soon as he walked through the front door I knew it was going to be an enjoyable shoot! A wonderful shoot with a great photographer :) Thank you Phil!

I worked with Phil for the first time at the weekend along side BexWhite on a duo shoot. Phil turned up on time and was incredibly smiley and put you at ease instantly!

He had bought plenty of ideas and was very well prepared with examples and had bought backgrounds and lighting too. We ran through some duo art nude shapes which Phil was very patient with and made sure the lighting was just right, whilst shooting he was so professional and respectful. We then moved on to some more lifestyle and portraits and Phil was very very patient in terms of making me feel relaxed and getting me to smile :)

He took some really stunning images and I really enjoyed working with him! I would highly recommend him and grab the opportunity if Phil wants to shoot with you!

I shot with Phil at my home yesterday, he is a lovely man and obviously very passionate about photography. He brought some art/photography books with him for us to look at and get inspiration from which I thought was cool. He was not bothered about using every minute of our shoot to take photos, he took his time in making sure everything was right. I very much enjoyed shooting with Phil and the time did fly by, I look forward to shooting with him again. Highly recommended!

I worked with Phil at a lovely hotel in Poole, shooting fashion and bridal around the bar & seating areas, and boudoir & nudes in a beautiful room (where I'd also arranged to stay the night to fit in with my travels).

Phil was professional, friendly, enthusiastic and easy to work with. We covered a varied range of looks and his communications were great throughout. I would happily work with him again.
