Thank you Simon for a great shoot today.

Simon’s home studio is spacious and well equipped with plenty of options for backdrops and props. Simon is welcoming and friendly and really takes time to get the shots right. Really quick to follow up and send photos too.

I had my first shoot with Simon, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! The shoot was at his home studio, It was fun, relax and definitely no pressure whatsoever!

We discussed what outfit/items I had and what to bring, and when I arrived Simon had so many ideas for each outfit and trying different things as we went.

I would definitely recommend Simon and looking forward to shooting again with him soon

This was my first ever shoot as an aspiring model with Simon which was amazing. We discussed ideas prior and he created a mood board that encompassed everything I wanted; he also had many ideas on the day that turned out into great pictures. Overall very organised and fun!

I felt comfortable throughout which was facilitated by his abundance of jokes. He's a lovely person and I recommend him. There will definitely be a next time.

Another successful shoot with Simon at his home studio. he is very easy going and has loads of ideas, but is also prepared to " go with the flow" . He is easy get along with and funny and very willing to provide as many cups of tea as you like. We experimented with settings and I think those shots are some of my favourite. And I used the two words which Simon likes " next time". Thanks Si, looking forward to the edits.

I must admit you falling down that hole with your legs in the air was the picture of the day . Shame ray did not have time to shot it But we have a vision of it, Classuc lol. He is a true gentleman carrying our heavy suitcases. We were a group of models and photographers in Ashdown forest hosted by Ray Paulden.

I am really glad I got the opportunity to shoot with Simon again after such a long time and I am looking forward to seeing the images we made.

Thank you Simon for helping to carry my bag through the fields. Hope to work with you again soon.

I shot alongside Simon on a super group shoot organised by Ray Paulden, Simon is easy to chat with , polite and easy going with lots of photographic enthusiasm and ideas he truly loves what he does and is in his element when shooting models and exploring new angles. I hope to meet Simon again at future shoots and to see all the varied images he's taken from this last shoot.

We've worked together a few times now and had another good shoot today. Simon is great to work with. He is a skilled photographer who works at all levels. He's got professional equipment, different backgrounds, props and anything else you might want to add that bit extra to shoots.
