Modelling Portfolio Packages
Other photographers charge you for their time regardless of the number and quality of images they provide. That makes no sense!
I use “Per Image Pricing” to offer you the Very Best Value for your images. It’s really simple:
1 Session Price + Pay for Only Images You Want = Best Value
 If you don’t like your images, you don’t pay for them. No joke!
Every package has retouched images already included in the price.
Additional retouched images also optionally available.
Your complete satisfaction is of the utmost importance to me, so much so that I offer a 100% money back guarantee.

This was my very first photoshoot experience and from the moment we got there his team and him made me feel so comfortable and welcome straight away. John gave me so many tips and pointers on how to achieve the best photographs and explain step by step what he was doing. The quality of photographs I receive at the end completely exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t recommend John enough! He is brillant.

John was a brilliant photographer and help make my teenage niece feel completely comfortable for one of her first shoots. His team (make up artist Bryanna and stylist) were also excellent. The photos were outstanding too! Thank you so much on behalf of Maisie and myself. It was a fantastic experience and highly recommended! Looking for an opportunity for a second shoot! 🙂

We booked John to do a first portfolio shoot for a nervous teenager. The location was easy to get to and very near to central London and the studio is in an atmospheric old biscuit factory with secure parking outside. Our overall experience was excellent. John met us outside in the car park and helped us in with everything. The studio was perfect for the particular session that we booked. We were also able to use other parts of the building as well for different shots. John had an excellent make up and hair artist that often works with him when she is available, and together they made an excellent team. The session lasted about three hours, and John was very generous with his time, at no stage did we feel hurried or conscious of the time. Our nervous teenager was made to feel like a professional model and she was very comfortable from the outset, and settled in to the session. The results we got were fantastic. We are now going through the pictures and selecting which ones to keep. We probably want to keep them all. We would definately recommend hiring John without hesitation and we are looking forward to working with him again in the future.

I’ve had the honour to work with John and I could not recommend him enough. His photography skills and art knowledge are impeccable and so is his personality. He truly creates a safe space for everyone. The experience is one of a kind. I could go on about it all day, but to keep it short and sweet - he’s top tier! 💗

John is one of the best photographers out there. He and his are just amazing. It was first ever exposure to a professional camera and I wasn't nervous at all and I know it was because of these people. You guys could just go ahead and never give it a second thought. He is the best. His art of creating pictures are just fabulous.

Began working with John as a model on photoshoots last year. He has a great talent in making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. The images we've created are regularly referenced and praised by other creatives I work with as some of the best in my portfolio. If you're looking for an empowering experience making killer images, for reasons either personal or professional, I can't recommend John highly enough.

John and his whole team are amazing! 😊 If you are looking for a highly experienced photographer with great attention to detail, look no further because you will not be disappointed with John. He helped me from start to finish to organise our very first photoshoot for my e-commerce brand. I found him easy to communicate with, super friendly, patient and understanding. I had no experience with organising photoshoots and fully relied on his help and expertise. The shoot went really well and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks to all the team’s preparation, we managed to shoot a very large amount of products in a day. We worked well together and had a fun productive day creating beautiful photos for my brand. I’m very happy I found John and I can’t wait for our next shoots together 😊

John is a wonderful, highly skilled photographer with incredible concepts and ideas. He made me feel completley at ease during our shoot, and I learnt so much from him! He gives excellent direction, and has an incredible eye for detail, always striving to create high quality, powerful images. Our shoot was well planned with great communication beforehand and during, and john provided moodboards so I was able to get a sense of the direction and themes before starting.A real genuine rare talent I would reccomend John to all!

Wow Wow Wow. What can I say, no words describe how fantastic my shoot was with John. We discussed many ideas that we wanted to shoot so that we could use our time to the max efficiency. Shooting with John is such an experience. His work is incredible, he shares his own ideas about what he wants to do but always lets you include your input no matter how crazy. I had so much fun. We got some incredible shots and John is truly an excellent photographer and all round great guy. Until next time Jessica x
