I booked at the end of last year and had my photoshoot in mid-January. I arrived a little nervous, but John and Bryanna Angel immediately put me at ease. It was a truly five-star experience — very welcoming, great industry advice, and a relaxed atmosphere (plus a lovely cup of tea while getting my makeup done). John directed the session brilliantly and has a real talent for making you look and feel confident in front of the camera. The images are industry-standard and worth every penny. Highly recommend booking with John.
A MUST DO, empowering & career boosting experience with John and his team. From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable and excited to start my shoot… what a body positive, joyful environment john & his makeup artist Brianna has created. Being a complete beginner infront the camera, John guided me the whole way through and showed me what styles I can create with, easing my nerves & producing some beautiful photographs with his expert skill & vast knowledge. The makeup artist working with John also made me feel so beautiful, enhancing my natural features and working with what I felt comfortable wearing on my face. We created such a professional & high level portfolio for myself, one that I’m proud to show off, all with the photography skills & guidance of John himself + my amazing hair and makeup. Please don’t hesitate to book a shoot, even if it’s just to give yourself a boost of confidence, or create your first set of Polaroids… you will leave feeling like a million dollars. Honestly, Best money I’ve ever spent :)
We had an amazing photoshoot with John! The atmosphere was very welcoming and from this John was able to reveal character and personality through his photos. His team were absolutely professional and also provided valuable insights into the modelling industry. We strongly recommend a shoot from John with his diligent and personal approach.
I had a wonderful photoshoot with John today. From the moment I arrived John made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The session was super enjoyable; filled with lots of industry information whilst being guided through the poses. I would highly recommend John for anyone looking to join the modelling industry or to update their current digitals.
John was amazing to work with! He made me feel so comfortable and confident from the moment I walked in. The shoot was relaxed but professional, and for a first timer, his guidance made everything flow so naturally. The photos turned out incredible. I’m so happy with them! Would 100% recommend working with John.
