I worked with him again for a few hours at his house & the first shots his partner helped with holding a prop for me as well as framing a shot for us. We then shot some back light images on the table near the window & then on the couch with nice fabric. He was again accomodating to help me get too or from the station & cared for my well being. When had to charge the camera battery, we filmed me dancing in various outfits to pink which was interesting before shooting against the white wall, the bathroom mirror and in a few doorways. Thanks for a great shoot, kindest regards all the best :) would work with you again. Your work in unique & I'm glad you “catch my drifts” or natural flow poses. I’d suggest you to others too

I worked with him in the morning for a few hours at his house in west London although we were both originally from Australia. He had great concepts, a great idea of lighting & awesome sense of capturing the mood. It was great to pose with records & use different rooms. Thanks for the help getting to & from the closest transportation. I'd recommend him & would work with him again in future. Maybe in November? Kind regards & all the best!

Spike is a photographer who is dedicated to his passion.

He came prepared with all the details of the shoot like freshly bought props.

Pre-comms were clear and everything went well during the shoot.

I can't wait to see the final pics!

Hope to work with him again soon. Definitely recommend to other models too!

Had an absolutely amazing shoot with Spike!

The mood boards, pre-coms and organisation was absolutely on point! Even down to the temperature/weather during the shoot. Absolutely amazing!

Spike kindly picked me up from my flat at 4:30am and we had an early sunrise shoot.

Completely professional yet really fun! Climbing up a huge hill, the views and sunrise was absolutely worth it at 5:30am.

Really down to earth & great guy to work with. The posing tips to keep it natural were so cool! And picking berries for breakfast was right up my street!

Some of the edits are insane - looking forward to uploading them and seeing more unfold!

If you get the opportunity to work with this creative gentleman.

DO NOT PASS IT UP!

Hopefully this won’t be the last shoot!

Thank you so much again Spike ! x

I really enjoyed my shoot with Spike. Throughout all communication, prior to and during the shoot, Spike was clear, professional and enthusiastic.

I felt extremely comfortable during the shoot and appreciated the fact that Spike showed me the images during the shoot, as I personally find this very helpful.

Spike encouraged me to act naturally and also gave good clear direction to insure we got the shots he was looking for. He also sent a mood board in advance, so I had a visual idea of what he was looking to achieve.

I would love to work with Spike again and I look forward to seeing the pics!

Spike was very polite, professional, and full of creative ideas.

The shoot was productive and imaginative.

We managed to shoot many different styles, using different lights, indoor and outdoor. The pictures are great, I am really pleased with what we've got and I would love to keep creating with him as he's got a long list of interesting ideas.

If you have the chance of working with him, go for it! I really enjoyed myself!

Second shoot with Spike and this time was without Jon Downs. Spike travelled to me in Milton Keynes for a home shoot. He arrived on time, had a drink and a quick chat.

Once Spike had looked around the house to get ideas the 3hrs just flew by.

Extremely creative photographer, super talented and easy to get on with.

Got some cracking images.

Highly recommended by me.

Thanks

I had the pleasure of working with this highly talented photographer and lovely gentleman for the first time yesterday at his stunning home studio. His home has the most amazing natural light and the interior has beautiful decor and furniture which all work perfectly in the photographs. Spike is professional, creative and great at directing and I felt 100% comfortable throughout. He experimented with many different lighting techniques and the images I saw during our shoot were outstanding. The shoot was relaxed yet had a productive pace - we did many different themes and sets and the time flew by. I cannot recommend this photographer enough! I would definitely work with Spike again in the future. Thank you again :)

Theresa Louise and me travelled to Spike to do a 1-2-1 tutorial with him at his gorgeous home in London. I have to say it was an absolute pleasure meeting and working with Spike ... he was definitely receptive to the techniques we covered in our session and had already figured out some of it (good man) ... he also got some awesome pics on the day! Spike was is a friendly, chilled and clearly talented chap!

Spike it was absolutely fantastic to meet you - all the very best with your photography in the future.
