Russ was amazing too shoot with. The first time I’d done any implied/nude shoots and I felt so comfortable. Russ was amazing with direction and letting me also take lead off my posing. I had an amazing shoot and can’t wait for the next one. The photos are fanatic. Thankyou Russ

I worked with Russ for the second time today.

Russ contacted me a few days ago and kindly suggested me to take photos of her model in his home studio and working together as well!

But unfortunately had a late cancellation by model, so we decided to work together.

And when we saw the weather is warm and nice, decided to take photos in his house garden.

We had a quick view of the images at the end and he sent me all my favourite images in an hour!

The images are very good and I like many of them.

Recommend him to work with!

Been meaning to work with Russ for a good while now, Finally got to work with him today at his home, each room is set up lovely, we started in his new retro room which is beautifully set up! Russ is so easy to get along with, very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable from the start. Chatty and witty. Gives good direction to get wonderful images, which he shows you at the end of your shoot. By the time I got home I had all images with me! Would definitely recommend working with him, and I'm sure il be working with him again In the future.

Thanks again :)

Brilliant guy to work with! Very accommodating and was able to get the prints pretty much straight after the shoot as he is very flexible about the editing process. It was a brief shoot but I have faith that working with him again will be even more awesome! Very much recommend!

Fantastic first shoot with Russ today. He is very professional, friendly and welcoming.

Russ's house is ideal for a vintage themed shoot, so got lots of great vintage styled images. Time just flew by!

After the shoot, we looked through the images on Russ's computer and he sent me all the ones I chose. By the time I got home, the pictures were waiting for me.

Would I recommend him? Yes, 100 per cent! Can't wait to repeat.

I met and had a nice photoshoot with Russ for the first time today! He contacted me yesterday for arranging the shoot in his new Reto style home studio.

His house decorated vintage/retro very well and he took photographs with both digital and negative cameras. He was professional, easygoing, and open to any idea or posing that I had in my mind.

We looked through the images at the end and most images were great and even was difficult to select the best ones. Many Thanks!

I met up with Russel last Sunday at his beautifully styled 1900s home in liverpool.

Russ had photographed a good friend of mine so I felt comfortable and at ease from the get go.

I arrived on time for the shoot and was welcomed with open arms and we chatted over a cuppa about what ideas we both had etc.

Russ was very professional yet so friendly and helpful as he knew I had only done a few other shoots before years ago so my nerves were a little on show.

He have great direction and I felt so confident once we got shooting I suggested some more risque shots that he took with sensitivity and again the upmost professionalism.

I am going to have the pleasure of working again with Russ in a few weeks time that I'm greatly looking forward.

He is a true gent.

Squeezed in a shoot with Russ during an afternoon we both had free. This was my first since lockdown and I was very much looking forward to getting back into it. Russ is very warm and friendly and was very tolerant of my rustiness! Russ has an amazing home with some incredible places to shoot in. We easily filled a few hours with just two rooms and I feel like we only just scratched the surface when it came to places that would be great to shoot in. I received some images very quickly and I'm very happy with them. Thank you for a great shoot Russ, hope to shoot again some time.

I attended a group, home shoot today and loved it!

As always, Russ was lovely and the perfect host (tea, coffee, orange juice and even bacon butties!). His house is great to work in, really warm, lots of interesting and beautiful features, plus great natural light. Got to work with all three photographers and met some lovely models.

It's the second time I have worked with him and would highly recommend him, he's great and a fab photographer too!

If you get the chance to work with the Lovely Russ, jump at it. You wont be disappointed.

Highly recommended by me with 5 stars *****

Thanks Russ and I look forward to next time :D

I applied for a last minute casting Russ had created for a group shoot at his home, and i am so glad i did.

Within a few messages the shoot was organised and booked in. Russ also has many different rooms around his home which give fab backdrops. To get a wide range of diversity from the one the shoot. My favourite being his Retro Room!

Russ is extremely easy to get along with, making sure everyone was comfortable and happy

throughout, and also providing everyone with endless brews and bacon butties giving extra brownie points from me.

I Would highly recommend Russ to any level of model. and also recommend his place to everyone including photographers. You will not be dissapointed.

Thanks again Russ! and i look forward to working with you again in the near future!

Organised a last minute shoot with with Russ, lots of communication before hand and helpful direction wise. Really accommodating, made me a cup of tea (instant happiness) and showed me around his home, so I could see where we were shooting.

I felt at ease within minutes of meeting with him. He’s very sincere, genuine and trustworthy, both as a person and a photographer. Lots of ideas and open to my ideas, he kept me informed throughout the shoot and he made me feel comfortable and respected at all times.

Answered any questions, helped guide/ direct me (as I’m fairly new to modelling). Went through the images afterwards and sent them to me there and then. He even provided a lovely, warm, bowl of soup (lentil in case you’re wondering).

I could not recommend working with Russ highly enough and would love the opportunity to work with him again.

I put a casting out and Russ applied. We had been messaging about a shoot for a good few years and finally we got to shoot.

He was an absolute pleasure to work with, great fun, easy to get along with, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Russ to work with and I look forward to the next time.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot.

Russ was absolutely lovely to work with. The pre-shoot communications were great and he made me feel comfortable in the shooting location. Communication during the shoot was also great, and we were able to work together to produce some cracking images.

Would definitely recommend working with Russ.
