Andrew's second shoot with our little camera club - this time a location shoot at Digbeth's 'Custard Factory'

His professional approach to work is balanced perfectly by his easy-going and willing attitude to interact with club members is why our attendees were absolutely delighted by my choice.

Andrew can easily take direction where offered or adopt appropriate poses when working with less verbal photographers.

Pope (Andrew) and I had extensive pre-shoot comms. and he arrived on time with the agreed outfits. We hit it off straight away as Andrew is very friendly easy-going guy. We decided on a few sets in the studio before doing some planned location sets.

He soon warmed into the first set and we produced a host of great images, he poses naturally and takes direction very well and has an eye for detail. He understands about lighting and photo angles which is a bonus as we could discuss ideas. The time passed quickly and we wanted to shoot several shots and lighting styles, so we agreed to extend the shoot at the end. He is very flexible and an excellent subject for a fitness set with great skin tone and muscle definition.

He was also a great pirate in the cosplay set.

Sadly the location set was cut short by a mishap, but not before we had captured some great images. I hope he will come back for the river set another time.

I really enjoyed working with him, I have no hesitation in recommending him and I am pretty sure we will work together again.

Thanks Andrew

Just had a great shoot with Andy, great guy with a great physique, did a duo shoot with Jackie R and did some solo shots too. Achieved fabulous results. Got a good look about him and worked hard in some of the crazy poses I asked for. Good all round guy and hope to get the chance to work with him again. Highly recommended from me!

After months of chatting to Popes we finally got to shoot together on Saturday at Fine and DanDee.Pre comms were excellent leading up to our shoot going over any questions he had and sending images through that would help us give us some ideas.

After a quick chat we got down to it,first with Dee for a couple of hours. In them 2 hours we did solo and duo shots which I`m really pleased with. Popes is a lovely guy who`s really easy to get along with and puts in a hundred per cent effort into every pose

Highly recommend Popes to any photographer or model,you wont be disappointed.

Andy is a great male model and generally awesome fitness guru. Tremendous physique... He is a really lovely guy and a pleasure to work with. He arrived bang on time and was well prepared. This is my second time shooting with him and I will definitely be inviting him back - thanks Andy, great job!

Another camera club shoot for Andy, and another very pleased group of attendees.

Andy was punctual,in fact early, and waited patiently whilst the "studio" was set, interacting pleasantly with club members, and then worked virtually without pause for the remainder of the evening. In fact he somehow seemed to take the time to drink his coffee without moving from in front of the backdrop.

An imposing figure but a very unassuming guy that our members will definitely wish to shoot with again.

Many thanks on behalf of Hagley Camera Club

I shot Andy at our camera club's studio evening. It's far from an easy gig with 12 photographers all wanting their own shots, being very demanding and all working in different styles. However, Andy was brilliant, always keen to work with you to get the right shot, followed direction very well and was a really nice guy. With Andy's help I managed to get some cracking images.

Definitely recommended.

I booked Andy for a club group shoot back in August. Pre-shoot comms were good and he arrived on time and well prepared. He's is a lovely guy to work with and looks amazing - great shots are easy to achieve with Andy. Totally recommended - book him with confidence!

Andy came to a club group shoot and I had the opportunity to work with him. Andy had a selection of poses prepared, and he also took direction well. When I wanted to try a specific shot again and again, Andy was very patient with my fussiness over tiny details, and worked well with me to bring my idea to fruition. Andy is a very friendly guy, and it was easy to get along with him and to work with him. As it was a group shoot, Andy had to work with a number of photographers, which he managed to do with no difficulty at all. I would definitely recommend Andy.

Popesfitness is a great guy with a fantastic healthy physique!

He had great communications, was prompt & punctual and genuinely polite

The shoot was with professional, amateur and Absolute Beginner photographers.

He worked well with all levels, taking direction when requested and contributing poses, maintaining good communication at all times.

Everyone loved him and we/I will re-book and highly recommend!
