I had the pleasure of working with Graham at Oakes Studios on several photography projects, both in his studio and on location. Graham is not only a professional photographer but also incredibly personable and hands-on. His patience and attention to detail truly stand out, making him a pleasure to work with. Graham's expertise shines through in every aspect of his work, and his wealth of experience across diverse sectors, including Property, Automotive, Lifestyle, Food, and many others, is evident in the quality of his photographs. Whether capturing the essence of a property, the sleek lines of a luxury car, the vibrancy of lifestyle imagery, or the mouthwatering details of food photography, Graham consistently delivers outstanding results. Additionally, Oakes Studios boasts the very latest tech, ensuring that clients receive top-notch service and cutting-edge photography solutions. I highly recommend Graham to anyone in need of a talented and reliable photographer. He is a true professional who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. Smile More...

My first experience of a photoshoot. What a fantastic experience it was too. Graham put me at ease straightaway, the conversations were light and funny, and his energy and enthusiasm was second to none, oh and not to mention the final images, in all their different lightings and styles were fantastic too. I cannot speak highly enough of Graham, if you want not just a quality set of pictures, but a fantastic photoshoot experience too, don't hesitate to book him. Simply brilliant, many thanks More...

What a photographer! Myself and Graham arranged a shoot with another friend for some private images. Graham is a really friendly person and we were chatting away within minutes. His knowledge of photography is amazing, he was buzzing around the studio setting up backdrops, lights etc, he knew exactly how to get the best possible image from every shot he took and at the same time made me feel so relaxed working with him, he was also happy to take some of my ideas and transform them into images. When I first saw the finished product a couple of days later I was amazed at just how good the images are, stunning and beyond my wildest dreams. Friendly person and first class photographer, very highly recommended. More...

My son had his first professional photoshoot last week, he was very shy and nervous but Graham was amazing with him and made him feel very comfortable and encouraged his confidence. We had some fantastic photos and already have a few modelling companies interested in taking on my son. Thank you so much for your great work. I would highly recommend you and looking forward to having more photos in the near future. More...

I was "over the moon" with my photos. I don't consider myself to be very photogenic and usually feel very awkward having my picture taken but Graham has a natural knack of putting you at ease and the results far exceeded my expectations. I will be recommending him to anyone looking for professional photos as his work is excellent. More...

I contacted Graham to arrange a photoshoot for a very close male friend, about whom I am writing a private, deeply personal Memoir. My friend was delighted that Graham was entirely happy to photograph him in the familiar, intimate environment of his own home , rather than the Studio. After the Shoot, my friend paid tribute to Graham: "A very relaxing experience from a true professional. He is a master of his trade, with amazing insight and skills to produce excellent images." I now have an inspirational and unique set of photos for my written piece, including an utterly stunning front cover photograph of my friend. The visionary beauty of Graham's work has inspired and thrilled me beyond measure. Maxine Handy More...

Had my professional photoshoot with Graham yesterday. This has been something on my to do list for a while, but now being self employed, it was a must. Graham was very welcoming, professional and I very much liked that I could see the photos as he was taking them. We then decided on the ones we thought were the best. He edited them pretty much within 24hrs and they've already been put in use! Thank you, Graham, and I hope we'll get to meet again, perhaps for some PR, in the very near future 🙂 More...

Nick Novice I had my very first shoot with Graham and it was an absolute joy. Having never done this before, needless to say, I was very nervous. I shouldn't have worried, Graham was absolutely fantastic, very friendly and welcoming, put me at ease straight away. Graham gave great direction and was more than patient always with a smile on his face. He showed me the images as we took them to make sure I was happy and had lots of ideas as to what we could achieve on my first shoot. Great professional setup and I can't wait to see the edited set. I would recommend Graham to anyone, not just beginners like me as I'm sure he is capable of amazing things. Thanks Graham, I look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Nick. More...
