I had a fantastic time working with Jonathan - we are working collaboratively on a number of projects together and I throughly enjoy every moment of the creativity of our work we are producing together - working with Jonathan on a regular basis has ment that our work gets better and better together - I recommend working in this way. Jonathan is such a lovely easy going creative artist and I throughly recommend working with him :)

I absolutely LOVED the opportunity to work with Jonathan again & this time he came to me at the wild Welsh farm I'm living on at the moment.

We set off to explore the woodland on the edges of the farm & it did not disappoint. Frequented mainly by wildlife & very few humans it was just magical.

We worked a bit with a glorious elderly yew tree & some movement based poses - got to love a tutu!

I really enjoy the creative element of working with Jonathan, it's challenging in a really good way for me - it feels a little like modelling without actually modelling! Added to that he is super company & a delight to spend time with. He's always willing to experiment & it feels like a genuine collaboration.

Looking at the back of the camera I can see we got some really interesting images.

It's always a real pleasure to work with an artist such as Jonathan & I hope we get to work together many, many more times in the future.

Jonathan, thank you so so much!

Jonathan got in touch about doing a shoot in water, so I told him about a beautiful little bit of river that I know and the shoot was planned. The weather today was just perfect! Such a beautiful day.

I love working with Jonathan, we always get creative. I jump into pose and Jonathan gets the shots. He has a great eye for a shot, and gets awesome angles too! I was so pleased as I flicked through the back of the camera on our way back at what we created.

Jonathan is not only a great photographer, but one of the nicest people I’ve met through photography.

Thank you Jonathan for yet another fab shoot!

Very highly recommended from me

Wow! Where do I start….. I absolutely love my shoots with Jonathan!!

This time we planned a body paint shoot. Jonathan sent some ideas and my eyes lit up!! I was super excited for this project. We discussed ideas and how we would achieve what we wanted and had a rough idea of what we’d do.

I don’t think either of us were expecting such great results but it worked superbly. Between us we decorated me beautiful, capturing some absolutely stunning images. I’m so so pleased with how it worked.

Jonathan is so creative, I absolutely love working with him! We always get really cool, and stunning images! He’s an absolute gentleman and great fun!! Time just disappeared!!

Thank you Jonathan for another fabulous day shooting and getting creative……. Until the next time

Very highly recommended from me

I had a great body painting shoot with Jon. We enjoyed lunch before the shoot and spoke more about his visions for the project. I really enjoyed being painted and I am very happy about the outcome. Great direction from Jon, give me confidence to perform well and create some great shots. Look forward to working with Jon again. Overall a fantastic experience. Thank you Jon.

I enjoyed a super shoot with Jonathan. First of all he brought me the most delicious honey in the world (I just finished a yummy honey sandwich and it reminded me I must write his reference!)

we had so much fun. He came bursting with ideas and we pottered around my house bringing them to life. It was great fun.

He's good company and highly respectful - highly recommended by me!

please come back!

Another delightful shoot with Jonathon! He is one of those photographers that when he asks if I want to shoot, I say YES, before I even know what, where, why or when!

Jonathon had some ideas he wanted to experiment with & we had the perfect location for it, so I spent most of my time attempting to move gracefully in a series of colourful tutus in a beautiful forest setting! It's good to be challenged & gently encouraged out of my comfort zone so I love shoots like these. I particularly LOVED the rainbow tutu Jonathon had brought with him & nearly tucked it into my bag when he wasn't looking!

Jonathon always looks after his models well with a flask of hot coffee, wonderful homemade snacks, as well as a jar of his fabulous honey - thank you!

He is also an absolute delight to spend time with & I enjoy his company on shoots very much. Add to that he's a true artist & what more could you wish for?

Always a pleasure Jonathon & I can't wait to do it again. Thank you so much!

I had such a lovely time shooting with jonathon, he was so kind and considerate to me. I think that we were very much on the same page creatively and i was really excited about the images that we would produce together. We shot at the most beautiful East Quantoxhead where the rock formations and the beach was stunning. Both of us are really passionate about beautiful art nudes in nature - its by far my most favorite thing to shoot and what a joy it was to feel like there is collaboration in creating the art. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, and would recommend the lovely Jonathan to any model.

Jonathon attended my Speedlight workshop this weekend and it was a pleasure to have him along. He was polite and respectful both to the model and the rest of the group. I would 100% recommend any model to work with him.

I worked with Skulpto in the Forest of Dean with @skycladpixie doing an art nude duo shoot. Jonathon had specific visions for parts of the two quarries we shot at, guiding us into the poses to achieve his visions complementing the environment and surroundings. Jonathon is very aware of the natural world and seeks to use these in his photography.

It was a great shoot, I was very pleased to be able to create pictures with Jonathon and Sal, and from what I saw on the camera he has achieved his vision.

A definate recommendation for Skulpto, a thoughtful photographer creating art.

Just had a fabulous second shoot with Jonathon, this time as a duo with Mothy. I knew Jonathon would absolutely love the location we'd found & I think we all wished we'd been able to spend the day there as there were so many possibilities.

Jonathon has an incredibly artistic & creative mind & always comes up with some super ideas & it's a real pleasure to be able to model for someone like this. He is always open to others' ideas & willing to try things, so it was great to work really collaboratively & bounce ideas around. I'm so excited by the images on the back of the camera & I feel we have created some very unusual & different duo images together.

Jonathon looked after us very well bringing a flask of coffee as well as homemade flapjack (absolutely delicious) & some chocolate biscuits & he was always mindful of our comfort, asking us if we needed breaks, luckily the weather was dry & mild so we didn't need any warming up time.

Jonathon is a very interesting person to spend time with & talk to & is really excellent company & has such an appreciation of the environment that I think really comes through in his images.

If you're lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with this lovely gentleman then grab it!!

I thoroughly enjoyed our time together Jonathon & I hope we can work together again soon. Thank you so much!

So I met Jonathan at the group shoot at F/8 studio in Gloucester.

He is a very polite and professional photographer, great down to earth guy.

I would definitely recommend him to all models and would definitely work with him again.

Thanks again louise.

I had a wonderful shoot with Jonathon last month! He was on time and he had really interesting ideas. We shot in the forest in Oxford, he had looked at the location beforehand. I enjoyed our shoot a lot and felt really comfortable posing for him. I would love to shoot together again and would definitely recommend him to other models! Thank you :)

Ahhhh I love working with Jonathan. We just bounce off each other and I absolutely love his ideas.

He is a great photographer and always thinks of great concepts. We got some really grungy images at a derelict building. Sometimes using flash for backlit light which created a really nice effect.

We covered so many different styles in this shoot. At one point we found a plant and put it on my head and we just worked with it from there. Just fab!!

It was so much fun, our quick shoot turned into a few hours before we knew it. Time just vanished.

I love working with Jonathan and I recommend him very highly!

Thank you again for such a fun shoot!

Can’t wait for the next one!!

My second shoot with Skulpto! Wow!! We went to the location that we couldn’t go to for our first shoot due to weather conditions.

Jon is ace!! He has great ideas and is really creative. I love his eye for photography, he really is fantastic! A great laugh and easy to get along with. We really bounce off each other!

Another great shoot. This time we were disturbed by a few walkers by so we decided to stop shooting a little sooner than planned. Jon was happy with what we captured so it was a job well done!

Very highly recommended from me

Thank you again for another fantastic shoot

Today was my first shoot with Jonathan.

Pre comms were ace! We discussed and shared ideas and had a plan of what we were aiming to achieve. We had originally planned to shoot on location at some fantastic wind turbines, but unfortunately the weather took a turn so we relocated the shoot to my house. With the location change I got out a few items to wear, (and a kiwi fruit), that I thought would work, and when Jon arrived, we looked around the house and decided on where we would shoot.

Wow! Just Wow!!

We started in some lingerie and worked with a table light on a small coffee table, then Jon got this amazing plastic sheet that he had and I draped it all over me, we got some fantastic shots with that. I even made a dress out of it and we displayed it beautifully on the stairs with some large rope. The effects of it were awesome!! Wow!

Then Jon had some tutus that we shot in and then we used the kiwi I had got out before he had arrived. It was so cool!!

Jon is a brilliant photographer. I can’t wait to share the images we created! They are fan-tastic!! Really easy to get along with and an absolute pleasure to work with. I really hope we get to create again soon.

Thank you again for a fab shoot

Wow! I've just had the absolute pleasure of a super first shoot with Jonathon, I hope my reference does the experience justice.

Jonathon contacted me with an idea for a shoot, pre-shoot comms were excellent, we had to rearrange due to the weather & then on the day of the shoot itself the forecast thwarted us & it proceeded to rain throughout. However, neither of us were daunted & Jonathon had a back-up idea which worked really well, better than either of us expected!

So I had a wonderful few hours prancing around mostly nude in the pouring rain getting covered in mud & loving every minute of it. Jonathon has a great eye for a shot & knew what he wanted, although he was also very open to my input & ideas. I felt we worked well together, amidst lots of exclamations about the light, the textures, the mud & the colours! The shots on the back of the camera looked really good & I'm excited to see them.

Jonathon was a perfect gentleman, totally respectful & professional & an extremely interesting person to chat with. His passion for the landscape & nature went hand in hand with his enthusiasm for photography & I really enjoyed his company for the afternoon.

So yes, in case you hadn't already guessed I highly recommend Jonathon to all models & I would absolutely love the opportunity to work with him again. It's shoots like this that remind me why I love modelling so much.

Oh & I came away with some raspberries & some delicious honey!

Thank you so much Jonathon, until next time :-)

another fun shoot this time on the outskirts of bristol in the woods ......

loads of creativity and ideas working amongst the moss , cut timber piles and gnarly tree stumps and trunks.

love the results and hope we try location again before the summer is out

thank you so much !

Worked with Jon for the first time, out on location at the Roman site in Silchester - stunning day, changeable but occasional sun and decent light. We worked our way along the wall, creating earthy shapes and portraits, had a wonderful time climbing the old tree roots, and curling up on the floor with satin material. Even popped into a field and had a few curious cows wander over, they were utterly adorable!

Jon is a gem to work with, patient, friendly, artistic, funny, and lovely to chat to - remained calm even when his lens bag went missing, which was later returned by a concerned passer by. Phew! Hoping to work with this excellent soul again soon.

Would highly recommend to all models and other creatives.

I had this day free then the opportunity came calling and what a splendid way to spend the afternoon. My first shoot with Skulpto and what a delight. A talented, polite and easy to work with photographer. There was so much to cover and time was well spent. The team work and the flow worked hand in hand here. Results shared from the back of the camera looked great that of course has to do with his photographic/artistic skills which I admired through out the entire shoot.

Definitely recommended.
