I had an amazing time shooting with John, Bryanna and Mariam. They were so helpful and made me feel comfortable straight away. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed and as the shoot went on I only grew... in confidence due to their tips and guidance. If you’re thinking of booking a photo shoot with no previous experience then I cannot recommend them enough. An invaluable experience!read more

What a fabulous studio experience today with this hugely fun and professional team! I knew I was in fabulous, skilled hands with John, Bryanna and Mariam from the moment I walked through the door.... From my initial online booking, through helpful pre shoot emails and generous sharing of industry knowledge and advice, this has been a five star model portfolio shoot for me. I highly recommend and will definitely return for another session next year.read more

I had a photo session last Friday 8th with John to take polaroids. Although a short photo session, I always think when it comes to getting my headshots etc taken, i'm not good or prettier enough in... photos, or the clothes I wear are not fashionable enough. But once the session was over, and I got to look at the polaroids i thought ''they are not so bad'', because i'm natural in them, its about being natural. It was a relaxing photo session. I now need to get headshots and more full length photos done. Thank you John. I look forward to working with you again.read more

Professional, helpful, and genuine.Recently I made the decision to book a shoot with a professional photographer to get some portfolio photographs taken to start my modelling journey right with... some professional-quality images. I browsed the web for different photographers and soon had no doubts that the most impressive photographs came from John Sansom Photography. Therefore, I decided upon booking him and his team: including stylist Mariam and makeup artist Bryanna Angel.The day soon came to meet everyone and get in front of the camera. Upon arriving at the photography studio, I am glad to say everyone worked to make the whole experience very pleasant and rather enjoyable. John assisted me in trying out new poses and gave me words of wisdom throughout the day, Mariam helped create the outfits to ensure I had a variety of formal casual, and edgy looks by the end of the shoot, Bryanna helped add a light touch of makeup to make me look my best and was very kind and conversational throughout -the whole process just felt very natural and the day concluded with a bounty of photographs I am most satisfied with.If you are weighing up your potential options with other photography studios, I can ensure you that John Sansom will not disappoint; the only problem you will have is deciding on which photographs to select from as so many of them are stunning.read more

Amazing, it was my first photoshoot ever and I walked with very little experience except taking photos on my iPhone. You don’t just get beautiful pictures taken of you. You learn about the industry... what poses to do and the effects they have. I learnt so much and it is worth every penny..read more

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.read more
