I've worked with Chris several times over the years, on very different projects. He is wonderfully responsive, provides great advice, including before and after the shoot, and genuinely engages with the work. I can vouch for his skills shooting creative and commercial projects alike.

I found Chris on Google/Facebook after needing a local product/lifestyle photographer. What can I say- he's been amazing! So professional- as his his home-studio which is filled with amazing kit! Chris is very experienced and listens to the exact request of his clients. He has a superb after-care service and from experience I know he continues to edit until the client is super happy with all images! I'm so fussy- but Chris never got tired of my requests! Overall, 5***** worth every penny! Laura

Chris has continued to provide me with high-quality commercial images for my modelling portfolio. His style is relaxed, but professional which shows confidence in what he is doing. He understands my industry and knows what is required from each image, showing good attention to detail. Always friendly and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend him for modelling portfolio work and a variety of other photographic services.

I have worked with Chris on numerous occasions he has been nothing but professional towards me during our shoots. I could not rate this photographers work and kind hearted personality enough.
