Absolutely amazing! I felt very much at ease throughout the photoshoot, Mr. Sansom is really kind and made me feel super comfortable. I would really recommend working with him! He also invested extra time just to make sure everything went smoothly and that I was happy with the process and results. Exceptional work!

I went to Johns studio this past weekend for some polaroids. It was such a fun, welcoming and safe environment to work in. John was very kind and knows how to make models comfortable but also allows us to warm up and adjust ourselves to the studio and the idea of the shots we had to take that day. It was a short and fun experience and I would recommend taking headshots with John!

I had an incredible photo session with John, resulting in the best polaroids I've ever had! His insightful guidance on the industry and encouragement for my next steps were truly invaluable, helping me feel prepared and excited about my path forward. I deeply appreciate his passion and professionalism, which made the entire experience a joy from start to finish. If you're looking for a talented photographer who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend John — I'm already looking forward to more sessions in the future!

Working with John was an absolute pleasure. As an aspiring model, I was a little nervous, but he created such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. He was incredibly friendly, and his advice on posing and expression was a game-changer. It's clear he's passionate about his craft and genuinely wants to help his subjects succeed. I highly recommend him!

I had such a great experience shooting with John! From the start he created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere — we even did a short exercise beforehand which helped me feel more confident and comfortable in front of the camera.

He also gave me very useful advice about applying to agencies, which I truly appreciated. The shoot itself was super productive, fun, and professional, and I felt supported throughout.

I’m very happy with the results and would definitely recommend John to anyone looking for high-quality photos and a positive, empowering experience in the studio.

I had a Polaroid shoot with John and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He’s a true professional – not only in his photography skills but also in the way he prepares and gives clear instructions. The session itself was fantastic, and the resulting Polaroids turned out beautifully. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I can highly recommend working with him!

I had a Polaroid/digitals photoshoot with John recently, and it was the perfect place to start considering my modelling career.

The model portfolio update photoshoot was an amazing experience—great energy, a friendly atmosphere, and a perfect mix of fun and productivity.

I had a fantastic experience with John, and Bryanna they were so great to work with, no matter the situation, they made you feel at ease making you laugh, relax and feel at home.
John photography skills are really amazing, he’s had so much experience and also guides you through your posing. He always tries to give you advices to what should you do for the next step, and philosophies on how to make you feel better.

I reached out to John for a modelling photoshoot and had such a wonderful experience working with him. From start to finish, the entire process was an absolute delight. John really helped me to feel confident and at ease in front of the camera and was so professional yet friendly in his approach. I couldn’t be happier with the final photos and would love to work with John again in the future.

I had the most AMAZING first-ever Polaroid shoot today with John! I walked in feeling a little nervous but he instantly made me feel at ease. He’s incredibly professional, personable and genuinely warm. I enjoyed every part of the experience.

John has so much industry knowledge and he shares it in such a helpful, approachable way. It was much more than just a Polaroid shoot. I had a lot of fun, felt really comfortable the entire time, and left feeling inspired.

I’m so grateful I got to do my first shoot with someone like John. Can’t recommend him enough!
Jaqueline V.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Photo Shoot Experience!

From start to finish, the entire photo shoot was an absolute dream. John made my son feel super comfortable, confident, and completely at ease in front of the camera. His attention to detail, creative direction was truly outstanding.

The setting, lighting, and styling were all perfectly coordinated, and the final photos exceeded my expectations. Not only were the images beautiful, but they also captured my Son’s personality and essence in a way I’ve never seen before.

I highly recommend John’s work to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and high-quality photo shoot experience. We will definitely be booking again!

Thank you 🙏🏼
Tania
I had an amazing experience with my polaroids, I really recommend him! ❤️
Yasmin
I had a Polaroid shoot with John on Wednesday, and it was a wonderful experience. I thought I’d only get to choose from 8 images, but we did a warm-up first and tried out a range of poses, so I ended up with more options to choose from than expected. The process was engaging and informative, (I learnt a few new tips for photography) with no pressure for everything to be done perfectly in a few shots. The suggested images folder was also a helpful pointer on which pictures to select if unsure.

The studio was clean and well laid out (lots of natural light!), with separate rooms for makeup, changing, and photography. The image quality is fantastic. John was friendly and patient and made me feel at ease. I’m really happy with how everything turned out, and the mini Polaroids at the end were a lovely bonus.

Thanks again John!
Carlos H.
What can I say! Brilliant day with John absolutely incredible photographer I’m already using the images for applying to agencies and feel very confident with the Polaroids I’m displaying, John has brilliant vision to create the best images on set and helps with direction perfectly! I wish I came across John when I started modelling years ago but nevertheless I’m glad we have stayed connected now!

I had an amazing experience with John. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth and professional. I was feeling completely at ease—he guided me through every step and gave clear instructions on how to pose and look my best.
We also had a great conversation about the next steps after the shoot, which made me feel confident and excited about what’s ahead. The session was not only professional but also genuinely enjoyable. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for top-quality photography and a great experience!
Zoe J.
Had the most amazing time shooting my modelling digitals and Polaroids yesterday with John. He was so funny, friendly and down to earth! I felt instantly comfortable and free to be myself through out the process, and this is coming from someone who is usually quite shy. He really did take away all the nerves I felt leading up to it. He also created a safe space where if I wasn’t happy with any of the shots, I could voice my opinions and he would let me take it again. Also great coffee maker! ☺️
Anastassiya S.
Thanks to John for the wonderful and beautiful shooting, everything was professional with a positive attitude, it's nice when people do their job very well!

Hannah R.
John and make-up artist Bryanna Angel, provided an outstanding service for my initial portfolio shoot. They were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and confidence-boosting throughout. As for the end product, I would highly recommend their service; the shoot gave me a great variety of high-quality images that showcase the diversity needed for a strong portfolio.
Karolina E.
Just had the best photoshoot with John! The whole experience was so comfortable and full of good vibes, lots of laughs and natural moments. He made it easy to just be myself, and I’m so excited to see how the shots turned out!
Kyla B.
I had such an amazing experience during my photoshoot! As someone who’s quite new to being in front of the camera, I was a bit nervous going in but I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. The photographer was incredibly professional, warm, and guided me through everything in a way that felt natural and fun.
Not only did I end up loving the photos, but I also left the session feeling more confident. I genuinely recommend this to anyone, especially beginners you’ll be surprised how easy and enjoyable it can be. A truly memorable experience!
Thank you John and Bryanna!
Evgenia C.
It was fantastic working with John! The shoot was a lot of fun—he made me feel relaxed and helped me choose the best Polaroids. I’m glad I chose John for my Polaroids; he’s professional and has great experience. I’ll definitely come back for a portfolio upgrade next time. Thanks again!
