I’ve brought both my children for their first photo shoot with John and both times have been a successful experience. John easily puts the kids at ease and is wonderful at what he does.

Had a shoot with John on 27/04/2025 and had a great experience. He is very professional and tells you all you need to know about getting into modelling.

Aris Pi
We had such a wonderful experience during Aris’s photoshoot! From the moment we arrived, the photographer was incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional. They created such a calm and friendly atmosphere that made Aris feel at ease right away — which, as any parent knows, is not always easy with a toddler!
The way they captured his expressions, little smiles, and personality was truly amazing. Every photo was full of life and beautifully edited with a natural touch. We were beyond happy with the final results — they’re memories we’ll treasure forever.
Highly recommend to any parents looking for quality, patience, and a real talent behind the camera. Thank you again for making it such a special experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review :-)

My daughter, (aged 15) decided she wanted to try some modelling and we travelled from East Yorkshire for her first ever photoshoot with John. I'm so happy that we did! He made her feel so comfortable and relaxed. John is knowledgeable in regards to poses and what agencies are looking for, which was really helpful for her first portfolio photographs. He was honest about how her makeup and clothing should look, which was also helpful.

John was kind enough to show us the photos he had taken at the end of the session and they are fantastic. He's a very talented photographer, I would highly recommend him for a model portfolio and would absolutely contact him again for photographs in the future.

Thank you so much, John!
