Ian was a pleasure to work with



Ian was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We brought him in to shoot headshots and personal branding photography for the launch of our leadership advisory firm, and the experience was genuinely excellent. He put everyone at ease, worked quickly and intuitively, and the final edits are superb. The retouching is polished but natural, never overdone, which is exactly what you want for professional portraits. He also went above and beyond by introducing us to a brilliant videographer for the wider production, which added real value beyond the shoot itself. The whole thing was professional, warm, and high-craft. I'd happily work with him again and recommend him without hesitation.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It was a real pleasure working with you and the team on the launch imagery for your leadership advisory firm.

I’m so glad the experience felt smooth and that the final headshots and personal branding images landed well. Natural, polished retouching is always the goal, especially for professional portraits, so I really appreciate you mentioning that.

I’m also happy the videographer introduction helped support the wider production. I’d love to work with your team again, and I really appreciate the recommendation.

I reached out to Ian after finding him…

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 would definitely recommend

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.

Hi Zoheb, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure working with you on your dating profile photos in London, and I’m so glad the whole process felt clear, easy, and comfortable from start to finish.

I’m especially happy to hear the guidance around posing, angles, expressions, locations, and wardrobe support helped make the shoot feel relaxed. A big part of my approach to dating photography is creating images that feel natural and confident, while still being planned carefully enough to work well across apps like Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble.

Wishing you all the best with the new photos, and I’m so pleased you’re happy with the final results!

Anthony, thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m really glad to hear the experience felt professional, easy, and enjoyable.

That’s always the goal with my lifestyle photography and portrait sessions in London: to make the process feel relaxed, straightforward, and comfortable while creating photos that feel natural and confident.

Thanks again, and I hope to work with you again soon!

From a few matches a week to 20+ a day…

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.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I’m so glad to hear the photos have already made such a strong difference to your Hinge profile. That’s exactly what I hope my dating photography sessions can do: create natural, confident images that feel like you, while still being strong enough to stand out on dating apps.

It was a pleasure spending the two days together in London, building out a wider set of lifestyle photos across different scenes and locations. I’m also really happy the process didn’t feel awkward, as helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera is one of the most important parts of what I do.

Wishing you all the best with the new profile – and the dates!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review. It was a pleasure working with you on the photoshoot, and I’m really glad the final images stood out to you.

I always try to bring together lens choice, lighting, shadows, location, and direction to create lifestyle photography and personal branding portraits that feel considered, natural, and engaging. I’m so pleased that it came through in the final photos.

Thanks again, and I hope to shoot with you again soon!

Dating Photography / Lifestyle Photography

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.

Chris, thanks so much for taking the time to leave me such a thoughtful review and making the trip to London to shoot together. It was a pleasure working with you and creating lifestyle photography for your dating app profiles, along with personal branding for your professional profiles and Instagram.

I look forward to staying connected and shooting with you in London again soon!

Dating package - Highly recommended

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!

I'm glad to hear that reviewing the images together and creating a feedback cycle during our session led to the photos you're most confident in.

I look forward to staying connected, and I hope to shoot with you again soon!

Worth Every Penny

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.

Great experience and very easy to work with

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.
