Koby Photography Reviews 

Ian at Kobe Photography shot my personal branding photos for LinkedIn, and it's the best money I've spent on my professional image. What impressed me most was the preparation. There was a lot of contact before the shoot, including a Teams call to run through the day, so by the time Ian arrived I felt like I already knew him. That made a huge difference to how relaxed I was on the day.

The shoot itself ran smoothly despite being one of the hottest days of the year, which says a lot about how organised Ian is. I'm not naturally photogenic and normally ruin photos by pulling odd faces, but Ian's experience showed. He gave me specific techniques to use in front of the camera that got the best out of me, and the results are the best photos I've ever had taken.

He was friendly, put me at ease instantly, and clearly knows his craft. I'm already recommending him to others and would use him again without hesitation.

We first discovered Ian’s work through his street style coverage of London Fashion Week, which led us to commission him for the Spotted by Pinterest series. His images performed strongly from the first season, and we’ve since built an ongoing partnership across London and, most recently, Berlin and Copenhagen.

Ian is a reliable and creative partner who understands the brief while continually bringing fresh techniques and ideas to each campaign. He adapts his approach to the character of each city, communicates clearly, and is confident casting and directing distinctive people on the street. He has a sharp eye for emerging fashion trends and often identifies new patterns as they develop throughout the season.

His combination of candid street photography, commercial lifestyle photography and fashion portraiture feels colourful, authentic and full of real expression. The resulting images resonate with Pinterest’s audience and inspire people looking to develop their own style from what’s happening on the Fashion Week streets.

We’d happily recommend Ian for advertising and commercial lifestyle photography, particularly for his ability to blend candid street photography with editorial fashion portraiture.

Had a really great experience with Ian and honestly the photos came out better than I expected.

I was actually pretty unsure about the whole thing the day before the shoot and we jumped on a call. Ian was super relaxed about it, talked everything through with me and we basically made a flexible plan so it didn’t feel forced or awkward.

On the day he was very good at adapting as we went and making changes so the photos actually felt like me, rather than just trying to create some overly polished version of me.

I also worked with his stylist which definitely helped, especially with putting together looks I probably wouldn’t have thought of myself.

The final shots are genuinely great! Natural, strong and actually usable. If you’re looking for lifestyle photography for dating or personal branding I’d highly recommend Ian. Really knows what he’s doing and makes the whole process very easy.

I had a great experience with Ian for a set of dating photos in London. I was looking for natural, authentic images rather than anything overly posed, and he absolutely delivered.

From the start, Ian was friendly, professional and really easy to work with. He helped me feel relaxed in front of the camera, gave clear direction when I needed it, but also let moments happen naturally, which made the photos look genuine rather than staged.

The shoot itself was a lot of fun, and Ian clearly has a great eye for lifestyle photography. The final images felt exactly like what I was hoping for and have given me a much stronger set of dating photos that genuinely represent me.

Communication throughout was excellent, and Ian went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the final result. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who makes the whole process enjoyable while producing fantastic photos.

Ian is amazing! He’s super organized and professional, and I had such a great time during the session! He made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and all felt really natural, like no effort was needed on my side. The photos turned out incredible, I’m really happy!

I reached out to Ian after finding him on Google for some photographs, I was quite nervous at first as I'd never done anything like this before but Ian quickly made me feel very comfortable and I was very happy with how they came out. I'd highly recommend him and hopefully will be able to do some together again in the future

I had an amazing experience with lifestyle photographer Ian. He is one of the best photographers in London, I highly recommend for all content needs, whether lifestyle, personal branding, commercial marketing, etc.

Before the shoot, Ian was incredibly responsive, friendly, and explained the whole process clearly, which made everything feel easy from the start.

During the shoot, he immediately makes you feel at ease and gives great guidance on poses, angles, and expressions throughout. His experience really shows in knowing what could work well for dating profile photos.

He also has a strong network and can refer you to people for wardrobe or style upgrades if needed, which is a nice added touch.

Ian is great at finding high-quality locations for photos and handles all the logistics/admin side smoothly, so you can just focus on the shoot itself.

Afterwards, he edits the photos according to your preferences and delivers them really quickly.

The end result was excellent - I got some genuinely great photos that I’m really happy with. Overall, I’d definitely recommend his services.

Ian is simply the best. Professional, great at what he does on every level and makes the experience really easy.

From a few matches a week to 20+ a day on Hinge

I got the two day package with Ian and thx to his help, I'm going on a few dates a week now! He's also overall a very awesome and sweet guy to hang out with while I was with him in London so the whole picture taking process wasn't awkward at all.

Ian is a very talented photographer. He has mastered the skill of manipulating lenses, lighting, shadows and props to produce photos that demand and capture your attention. He is also a nice guy to shoot with. Book him for your next photoshoot for sure!!

Extremely high quality photos. The experience of shooting was fun and well managed.

I worked with Ian for his dating photography services and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is thinking about getting photos for their online dating or any sort of personal branding. Ian was very easy to work with which went a long way in making me feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite never having done any dating photography / lifestyle photography before. As he has done this many times he was able to guide our shoot so that it was smooth, not awkward and got me everything that I was hoping to get.

Ian’s dating photography package is second to none. He clearly understands how to capture your personality/interests as opposed to just making sure that you look good and I felt that he was completely invested in making sure that I was happy with the end result. There was no pressure for me to like the initial shots for each scene - I felt comfortable suggesting changes and we worked together until we were both happy. Communication was excellent throughout the process, including after the shoot where Ian was happy to make further suggested edits until I was completely happy. I cannot recommend Ian highly enough and would definitely come back again!

Was a bit hesitant to hire a lifestyle photographer but was left with zero regrets. Ian was absolutely amazing and from the very start the entire process was simple and easy to follow.

I travelled in from quite far to work with him and wasn't too familiar with London, but that wasn't a problem at all since Ian had everything handled and the only thing I needed to do was look good for a few photos. And even then, he guided me through that to make sure I could show off my best self.

The entire day was honestly pretty fun and I'd highly recommend anyone considering a similar service to just go ahead and book in with Ian. He's amazing.

Just the best experience. Ian is a master of his craft and a really nice guy. A comfortable, stress-free and professional service. Just go for it!

I had a really good experience working with Ian on a dating profile photoshoot in London.

From the start he was very organised and methodical, which made the whole process feel straightforward. He takes the time to talk through ideas beforehand and clearly knows what works well for dating profiles, which helps a lot if you’re not used to being in front of the camera.

On the day itself he was very good at helping me feel relaxed and natural, rather than making it feel overly staged or awkward. He has a good eye for locations and angles, and was flexible in adapting ideas as we moved around the city to get the best shots.

He was also helpful afterwards in narrowing down the photos and making sure I ended up with a strong final selection.

Overall a really positive experience and I’d definitely recommend him if you’re looking to upgrade your dating profile photos.
