PETE IS SO KOOL!

I had my first shoot with Pete during my mini tour of the area and what a blast we had.

Firstly - I felt after 5 minutes that I’d known Pete for an absolute life time. He is super friendly, understanding and a fantastic, caring human being.

I was made to feel most comfortable at his home studio, and was fed, watered and kept warm.

Pete also had some fantastic props which I was able to dress and style and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

A truly fantastic shoot which I will always remember with a cracking bloke!

Loving the results. Highly recommended by me!

Really hope to see Pete again!

I had a pleasure of shooting with Pete at Neon Dreams studio today,it went brilliantly. It was such an interesting and easy-going shoot that time just flew away from us. Pete was kind enough to message me prior the shoot and say how much he was looking forward to our shoot. So I expected to have a lot of fun and laughter shooting with Pete and it turned out to be such a pleasant experience of shooting together. Pete was concentrating on creative and diverse headshots and challenged us trying to capture different looks and emotions from that ones I have on my portfolio,so I think we totally succeeded with it.

Thanks Pete,looking forward to shooting with you again

Highly recommended,100%

I worked with Pete recently on my studio day at Fine and Dandee studio. Pete was a real pleasure to work with, and I felt really comfortable from start to finish. I really appreciated him coming out of his comfort zone to shoot on a studio day, I think it was really worth it in light of the shots we got. We even shot for an extra hour as things went so well!

I'd highly recommend to any model, and hope to work with him again soon :)

It's places like Purpleport that make it possible to cross paths with photographers like yourself and create some amazing images!

Organising the shoot was so easy and communication was very clear with what was required from the shoot. The conversation flowed easily throughout the shoot and there was never a dull moment.

Endless cups of tea and even a sausage sandwich....what more could you ask for :D

You were friendly, funny and chatty yet remained completely professional throughout. Not a negative thing to say and I recommend to all :D

PS. Sorry This Is Soooooo Late!!!!

I shot with Pete on a very late notice shoot with was an absolute epic of chatting, shooting and getting some fantastic shots at his home studio!

He is a wonderfully respectful and extremely bright fellow who is awesome to chat with and has a brilliant way around the camera :)

I can't recommend this fabulous photographer enough to all models and studios, thank you for such a cool day!

Had my forth shoot with Pete on Sunday and it was totally fun. Another chance to pull off my evil look :) Pete is great to work with, was well organised, had images and sketches of the ideas that were to be portrayed and captured on camera.

Always welcomes input into a shoot to bounce off ideas and kept the studio well heated :)

It's always a pleasure working with Pete and I look forward to the next time :)

Highly recommended.

Katie Johnson Hair and Makeup Artist

Got to work with Pete on his recent portrait shoot with model Darren S. We had loads of pre-shoot communication and Pete provided a huge amount of reference and research materials prior to and even more on the day which gave a huge scope for the makeup... He allowed me to add my own creative licensing on the 2 looks we did and was great in providing his own insight and ideas on costuming and props, even adding in a touch of gore to one set of images!

Incredibly professional and hard working, with a real eye for detail picking up on any adjustments to the posing and makeup that were needed to get the look we wanted perfect. Very attentive to both myself and Darren throughout the day making sure were well fed and watered, not only that but Pete is a great laugh and a friendly, easy to get along with person behind the scenes.

Would highly recommend and looking forward to seeing the edited images... hope to work together again in the future!

I had a brilliant first shoot with Pete. Our communication was very good, and he is a very friendly photographer who is chatty and easy to work with. We really had a laugh and he is full of interesting ideas. I hope to work with him again :)

Pete is awesome, a great photographer and a lovely person too. Great pre-comms, he is professional and friendly, and fun to work with. I would definitely recommend Pete and would shoot with him again!

Shooting with Pete at my recent Studio Day with Ecce at Scarlet Door was a very fun experience indeed - he has so much respect for the models he works with, which when put together with his wonderful sense of humour and that awesome way with the camera, makes for a very epic shoot!

I can't recommend this fantastic photographer enough, he is full of amazing ideas and has so much energy, one of my faves of the day :)

Ecce!

Pete booked me and Jezebelle for two hours during our duo day at Scarlet Door. Pete was a lovely person to work with, and he was open to input from the both of us during pre-comms so we knew what we were trying to achieve on the day. He was polite, professional and friendly and I would be more than happy to work with him again. Highly recommended.

I worked with Pete recently for a couple of hours at Scarlett Door and had such a great shoot! It was many years since we had last worked together (guessing, over 4, perhaps 5 years!) and it was great to catch up as so much had changed! Pete is a highly skilled photographer, great with lighting and aims to produce really beautiul, high quality images. Shooting in a studio was outside of his usual comfort zone, but I wouldnt have guessed!

We worked on a mixture of fashion to art nude and created some stunning images- really looking forward to the uploads- especialley of the back and muscle shots/bodyscapes which were superb. Thankyou Pete and really hope to work with you again soon, Helen x

Darren S

I had a great shoot with Pete yesterday, with a great deal of portraiture. Experimenting with light with various styles of clothing, we captured a great deal of shots with some dramatic and low key effects.

Pete is a very chilled and laid back person and such a pleasure to work with, we have a good laugh on our shoots, especially when you have to portray a character :-)

Highly recommended :-)

Pete is a lovely man, chatty, friendly and incredibly intelligent, and a most wonderful photographer! We shot on Thursday for a half day, and the lovely Roughened Rosebud was along to shoot too, so we all had a right giggle.

I cannot wait to shoot with this fellow again! He was very sensitive on my recent bad experience, and he suggested we chat on the phone before to put me at ease, and put a voice to a name. A true gentleman. I had an awful lot of fun chatting and shooting with Pete and would highly recommend him to any model.

Much sparkles!

I had a really great shoot with Pete yesterday at his home studio in Reading.

The shoot was unplanned as we had arranged it quite last minute, but we just experimented with different styling looks, keeping it simple and working with soft low key lighting.

Pete was a pleasure to work with, he's friendly, chatty, really welcoming, professional and really focused.

I look forward to our next shoot.

100% recommended

Darren S

Had my third shoot with Pete last Sunday, this time a location shoot with myself and Marmalade. This was new for Pete, as he had never shot on location before, apart from his back garden :-)

Pete created some wicked shots, for his first time on location, in derelict locations and subways. It's nice to see photographers trying something different, and veering out of their comfort zones.

Pete is a cool fella, very funny at times and a joy to shoot with :-)

I'm very intrigued to see the finished images.

Highly recommended.

I had a great shoot with Pete and Darren S at Pete's great home studio.

Besides Pete's appalling (I joke!) humour, Pete was an absolute pleasure to work with, chatty, friendly and super professional Pete made me feel comfortable and completely at home.

Pete's pre shoot communications were perfect, he was organised and just a joy to be around.

100% recommended and I hope to work with him again in the near future.

I worked alongside Katie Green with Pete today. Pete is such a great guy to work with, he's chilled, relaxed and welcomes input from the models that he works with.

He's very creative and had a shed full of ideas, to put us through our paces, which made the shoot very productive and such fun too. Pete is very chatty, comms and brief, before the shoot were very professional and I look forward to working with Pete again soon. Well recommended by me, He's a cool guy :-)

Helen Diaz

Pete is fantastic to work with! He puts alot of thought into his photoshoots and is extremely creative (we had a clay photoshoot!), aswell as being fantastic to talk to and to have a decent conversation with! :P

He also is the owner of two beautiful cats who I could have easily catnapped!

He was also very kind to send me photographs of the shoot afterwards which was greatly appreciated.

I would highly recommend any model to work with him.

Best wishes, Helen x
