Shooting with Simon was an absolute dream; the time flew by as the whole day was incredibly fun and very creative, he had so many incredible ideas, costumes and props and we shot a range of inspired images in a magical location. He's a natural artist, with an eye for lighting that is absolute genius.

Simon is also really interesting to chat to and fantastic company, super organised with every detail sorted and very clear and communicative in pre-shoot communication and shoot direction. If you have a chance to work with him jump at it! Incredibly grateful for a wonderful day, thank you Simon! :)

Very Friendly and lovely to work with!

Always feel very comfortable shooting with him which is very important and he's very easy going and down to earth and just makes the whole thing fun!

Simon was great to shoot with! His pre-shoot communication was amazing and clear, he had interesting ideas and brought a few rails of clothing with him for me to try out. He made me feel comfortable from the get go. I really enjoyed working with him, we had a great day and made some beautiful images! I would definitely recommend Simon to anyone wanting to shoot :)

Simon came for a model day at HB Mansion with the amazing Beth Kate Taylor. He booked half the day and came on time and was great to host.

Both ourselves and the model found him polite, friendly, respectful and professional. It was a pleasure to meet him and really hope to have him back soon. Highly recommended!

I had a great first shoot with Simon today at my, also first, HB Mansion model day. Got through a great amount of sets and really utilised the space we had. The raw images look great and I truly can’t wait to see the selected final edits! I really look forward to hopefully working with Simon again in the near future!!

I shot with Simon a few days ago in the beautiful Manor House.

More than a day of work, it was a wonderful experience! Simon is a person of unique kindness, passionate about photography, who loves to share his creativity and company. He was on time and took care of everything down to the smallest detail. Despite having been many hours, we managed to coordinate well and take lots of great shots!

I can only say thank you to him and can't wait to work together again!

Had a great first shoot with Simon, learnt so much during the shoot and was a true team effort....communications and preparation were all excellent with Simon bringing a great range of things to use during the shoot. Simon has a great vision of what he likes to achieve and I very much loved working with all his ideas. Thank you Simon for a great shoot, would definitely recommend and would love to work with you again

I had a lovely day shooting with Simon in a gorgeous mansion in east grinstead :) pre-comms were impeccable, Simon picked me up on time from the station and then drove to this amazing place!

He had so many props and clothes which was really cool and I wanted to shoot with literally everything!!

We shot a wide range of pictures from fashion to Art nude, all very tasteful and classy! Simon was very respectful and I felt very comfortable shooting with him :)

Id love to work together again and I cant wait to see the pictures we took!!

I would definitely recommend him to other models.

Simon is a very creative and lovely photographer, I was so happy working with him. I relaxed very easily and really enjoyed the day! He likes to hear your ideas and ensures you are comfortable or need a break. Very welcoming and cheerful! Definitely recommend!

I love working with Simon, the years in between our shoots slipped away as we chatted and shot all over the place.

His guidance is second to none and his vision and creativity is very impressive. My only problem is how far away he lives, otherwise I'd be bothering him and turning up to shoot every day.

Working with Simon was an absolute pleasure! He made me feel very comfortable and gave excellent direction. Was professional in a fun, easy-going way. I've had very little experience, but Simon managed to get some great shots out of me! Would definitely work with him again. Highly recommend!!! :)

Simon and I had yet another full day of awesome images, ideas and outfits and had a super productive day.

There's not really much else I can say that is different to the last reference, but the fact that we have had a second shoot together says a lot.

Simon is always a real pleasure pleasure to work with, very pleasant and overall great company.

His gem Ebay finds make me rather jealous too ;)

Highly recommended! Thanks again.

It was a great pleasure to work with Simon. He has a keen eye for locations and is full of ideas. We didn't need to talk much and time just flew by. I felt very comfortable in front of his camera. We did a few experiments but overall there are some very nice photos. I will definitely recommend him and am very willing to work with him again given the opportunity.

Thank you!

I had an absolutely epic shoot with Simon on my last tour down to Crawley in March!

He booked me for an all day shoot in this super cool mansion, the weather was beautiful, brought music along and had plenty of ideas to fill the day!

It went by so quickly and we moved so effortlessly from set to set with Simon giving good, clear direction all throughout as well as allowing me to pose freely from an idea.

For saying this is the first time we had shot together, it felt like we had done so many times before, we got on so well and Simon is just so lovely and very easy to get along with.

I couldn't recommend him more and I hope that we will work together again fairly soon since I am now more local :D

Thank you for a brilliant day- really pleased with the results :)

I had a lovely shoot with Simon in a gorgeous manor house in Kent. Such a pleasure to work with and his enthusiasm for what he does shines through in his work. Preparation for the shoot couldn't have been better....fantastic communication, food provided and props/outfits!

Shooting a range of genres meant time flew by experimenting with various ideas.

A great day shooting and efficient delivery of images. Highly Recommend and would love to work together again :)
