It was lovely to meet and work with Phil earlier this week when he booked me for a four hour shoot around Ironbridge.

Phil’s pre-comms were detailed and clear, so I knew what to expect in the day. Phil travelled a fair way to get to the location, something I really appreciate, and we had a great time!

Phil is easy to talk to, and he thinks outside the box when it comes to his photography. He also values a good narrative image, which is something I wholeheartedly relate to.

I think, together, we must have walked miles, taking advantage of the hidden beauty and historical industrial spots of Ironbridge. It was refreshing to try new things in a familiar place, one I’ve used many times for photoshoots.

I’d recommend Phil to other models and hope to work with him again, if he’s ever over my way. Thanks so much Phil 😊

I worked with Phil for the first time last week. We worked on location- Phil knew a great spot with some really interesting and cool opportunities for shots.

He had many creative ideas and bought many props along with him too.

I would recommend Phil and would like to work with him again in the future.

It was a pleasure to finally meet and work with Philip. I'm glad we persisted in organising our shoot. He was very understanding regarding my availability. He had locations planned meaning the shoot ran smoothly, easy to talk to and to work with. Wish we had been more fortunate with the weather but I'm confident we got some amazing shots.

Phil is lovely, professional and has a great eye! It was a breeze working with him and I would recommend him to any model. Hope to shoot with him again soon!

Recently shot with Phil at some fields in sheffield. Everything went as planned in our pre comms, such as the meeting place & time, and how long we would shoot for. He was good at giving direction and finding shooting positions/places.

I would definitely shoot with him again and recommend him to anyone.

I had my second session with Philip last weekend. It was a pleasure to work with him again same as the first time. Philip bought a nice dress from a boutique shop, which i tried on the first time when I came to shot in Sheffield. I absolutely loved the outfit and the props he brought to match the dress. I think that style really suited me.

Philip is very easy to work with and a true professional. He always plans everything ahead, so you have a clear vision of what to expect on a day.Pre-communication is always spotless as well.

Despite the cold weather I really enjoyed shooting with Philip and we already have some plans in mind for a third shoot. Absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Thank you again 😊

I had a lovely first shoot with Phil today.

He had excellent pre shoot communication, was professional and friendly throughout and was a perfect gentleman helping me carry my bags!

We did an outdoor shoot in Ridgeway and went on a nice little walk through the countryside, shooting along the way. He came prepared with an outfit and props and knew what he wanted to get from the shoot. He was a pleasure to work with.

I would happy work with Phil again and I would highly recommend him :)

Finally I had a chance to work with Philip after such a long time of planning and having to postpone it duo to pandemic. I had the most enjoyable session yesterday.

Pre-communication was great as always! On the arrival Philip came to meet me at the station and we ended up walking to the dress shop and buying a nice Victorian style gown for the next photoshoot. After that we headed to locations to shoot which Philip already planned out before my arrival.

I found Philip very organised and easy to work with. He already had plenty of ideas and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve from the shoot! He also brought some nice outfits for me to try on and the dress I wore was extremely beautiful. It fit me well and I really loved shooting in it.

Philip is very professional, he has a great eye for detail and was able to suggest me some posing ideas which worked well.

Throughout, It was a very enjoyable day and I am truly looking forward to the next session.

Highly recommended to any model. Thank you 😊

Had a great first shoot with Philip yesterday. Philip is a very nice person to work with, making the shoot flow easily and effortlessly.

Prior to the shoot Phillip gave clear communication about the details of the shoot and what he wanted from the shoot.

Phillip is a very talented photographer, he knew which locations and lighting would work best,his previous work is amazing so very excited to see some results from our shoot.

On a whole I think we worked well together and I would recommend models to work with him.

Worked with Phillip for the first time today, on outdoors shoot in Sheffield.

Phillip replied to my casting call and was very easy to communicate with. Shortly after figuring out what we want to achieve from the shoot, he confirmed the date with me.

Unfortunately, our shoot got interrupted by an unforeseeable thunderstorm so we had to stop shooting hour and a half earlier. Despite the fact that weather completely ruined our plans, it was an absolute pleasure working with Phillip today. We will be arranging to shoot that extra hour and a half we had left sometime soon.

Thank you for choosing to work with me and I am sorry the shoot has been cut short, but I am sure we will make up for it! :)

It was an absolute pleasure to shoot with Philip yesterday. We went to a natural location to shoot with a Victorian dress.

He was extremely dedicated to the photo shoot: he brought some props and he even had the idea to take shots of me feeding the ducks but unfortunately, the ducks did not want the food. :) He has great ideas regarding the locations he picks and the poses he suggests. He can give guidelines to models but also leaves enough freedom for the models to pose their own style.

Philip has a calm and friendly personality; he made me feel safe and comfortable since the firs moment. I wish to work wit him again and I would definitely recommend other models to work with him.

What can I say...

First off Philip is a gentleman. His pre shoot communication is outstanding, I knew exactly what he wanted and where to meet etc

Secondly he is so kind and relaxed which made me feel instantly at ease, felt like I'd known him for years!

And lastly he is a very talented and modest photographer. The back of the camera images looked stunning, I would 100% recommend working with him. He was patient and understanding as we were shooting outside in the cold windy conditions of North!

Go and work with him now :D

Would love to leave second reference for Phillip after the second photoshoot with him. We had a Jane Austen styled shooting in beautiful park. Thanks to Phillip for detailed planned photoshoot, lettting me take breaks (was cold outside), showing me shots and discussing them.

Highly reccomend Phillip to work with, he is good to making you comfort, give directions, also welcomes your ideas and he is an interesting person to talk with.

Don't miss your chance, work with Phillip :)

Had a lifestyle/portrait photoshoot with Phillip few days ago. He was excellent at pre-comunication level and very professional and nice on shooting day. We are discussing the second photoshoot, so I highly recommend everyone to work with Phillip.

We went through a variety of looks and concepts including the popular Viking Look.

Always lovely working with Phil he has a great eye for beautiful places to shoot and this location was no exception. unfortunately this time we had the elements against us and the rain started to cramp our style a little but luckily we managed to fit in a few different locations and looks before!

looking forward to working with you again hopefully in warmer times :)

I had a nice relaxed evening shoot with Phil the other day, and I would happily recommend him.

He gave clear direction for what sort of images he wanted and worked hard to battle the strong sunlight.

I hope to work with him again in the autumn :)
