I worked with Phil a few months ago for some professional freelance headshots for me and my partner and he was awesome. Super professional, put us both at ease, and got some really high-quality pictures which met our brief. Really reasonably priced, too!

I was so nervous beforehand as I absolutely hate having my picture taken, but as soon as I got there, Phil put me right at ease, made me feel relaxed. He made the shoot fun, enjoyed chatting and the natural way he made everything flow. The pictures turned out amazing. I’ve never seen myself in that light before. I will definitely be using Phil again for any future shoots I may need. Thank you Phil. More...

I needed some photos taking quickly. Bark gave me 5 options. Phil was the first to contact me. Having had a discussion, I chose to use him. Photos were taken the same day & sent to me. He’s very easy to work with, explaining in layman’s terms & helping me to choose best options. Pricing good too. I rate him highly & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Thanks for making it so easy, Phil.

Phil took some amazing portrait shots for me and my husband at our wedding. We had the whole wedding party snapped against a stunning autumnal background. They were the perfect addition to the already amazing set of pics he had captured throughout the rest of the day.

Phil is a joy to work with and full to the brim with creativity.

Phil from the outset was efficient and professional in responding to our initial query, and any questions thereafter. I could see that he had a wealth of experience in dealing with company head shots, the reviews were fab and his prices very good. He attended 3 offices for us in different areas and was punctual and very easy to work with. We were so pleased with the service that I have recommended him to another company we deal with and they have gone ahead and had some work done too. More...

I had some actors portraits done with Phil and they are so lovely! We shot them outside in Manchester and the lighting was amazing. He’s such a genuine and funny guy, he really made me feel at ease which is sometimes difficult when having your picture taken! He had sent me the photos to choose from the very same day we shot them, so the turn around was brilliant.
I know a few actors who have had their portraits done with him and recommended him to me. Talented guy!
