Took my Son for photo shoot but his other brothers decided to tag along! I was surprised how he makes all of them feel at home with his small basket ball court 🤣😅
He was so professional and good at what he does, my 5 years old was so relaxed and we got the best out of him!

John made the whole experience effortless from start to finish. His professionalism, experience, exceptional talent and approach really helped our 13 year old daughter relax and enjoy the shoot thoroughly. We are delighted with the results and could not recommend John more. He also organised the most amazing hair stylist, Tayla, who was equally talented and produced many different great looks which made the whole experience all the more special.
Response from the owner:Thank you Gary & Claire, it was fantastic to meet you both & Olivia yesterday. I really do appreciate your kind words & you taking the time to leave me this review :-)

Sarah Holden-Berryman
We had such a wonderful experience with John today. He was incredibly friendly and professional and instantly put my daughter at ease, which made the whole shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable. Everything about the process was so easy, from start to finish.

John’s communication before, during and after the session was excellent, and we felt completely looked after the whole way through. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, we couldn’t be happier with them. On top of that, his pricing was more than reasonable for the quality of work he delivers.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking for a talented, approachable photographer.
Response from the owner:Thank you Sarah, I really appreciate the review & it was great to meet you in the studio over the weekend with Maisie. Hope you all have a great Christmas! :-)
Isabelle Peacock
John was absolutely amazing ! Made us and our little girl feel so comfortable from the get go.

100% would recommend
Response from the owner:Thank you Isabelle, great to meet you all today. I hope you have a great Christmas :-)

David Lawrence
Had one of the best days ever with John.
We had no set plans or agendas, we just rolled the dice and let our creative juices flow.
John brought the extensive knowledge and experience being a master of his trade and I brought the clothes.
John made this average Joe look like a A Lister….not a easy task.
Highly recommend MPP for everything from agency shots through to just treating yourself or a loved one.
Response from the owner:Thanks Dave, lots of fun in the studio with you yesterday & after seeing your extensive wardrobe I think I need to up my game on that front! Hope you have a great Christmas & thank you for choosing Model Portfolio Photography for your images. John :-)

What an incredible experience for my 13-year-old daughter! I have always been a bit hesitant, but right from the start, John made both me and my daughter feel at ease. He created a very professional and friendly atmosphere, and was extremely informative. Everything went perfectly; my daughter has had the biggest smile on her face since we left. The shoot has gave her a huge boost of confidence, thank you so much for all your time and effort; you truly made it an stress-free day and, on top of that, the best experience for my daughter. See you in a few months! I will most definitely be bringing my other daughter in.

We visited John today at Model Portfolio Photography for a shoot with our 7 year old daughter who has downsyndrome. John was amazing with Ida, he engaged her and was patient with her. He involved our other daughter too which was beautiful to see. John was very chatty and engaging with us all and it was an absolute pleasure to have him as our photographer today. I could not recommend him enough. Thanks again
Response from the owner:Thank you Sarah, absolutely loved shooting with Ida :-)

Had a fantastic experience shooting my first portfolio with John at Model Portfolio Photography UK. He was very professional, gave the right direction during the shoot, and made the whole process comfortable and smooth. The photos came out clean, high quality, and exactly what I was looking for. The turnaround was quick, the guidance was spot on, and overall it was excellent value for money. Highly recommend to anyone starting or updating their modelling portfolio.

John was really helpful when I booked explaining what would happen on the day and what clothes to bring.

John was very helpful and gave us some great advise and a list of agencies to contact. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again.
Response from the owner:Thank you Sue!

Alison Parfitt
What an incredible experience my young daughter just had being photographed by the lovely John. She was instantly at ease in John’s presence and his years of knowledge and experience in the field was evident right from the start. He gave excellent direction throughout the shoot, made it really fun but most impressively he happily encouraged my daughter to show off her own poses and got the absolute best out of her and the time we had. The pictures are stunning and he caught every last pose/expression. The internet does not lie, John is THE BEST. Very reasonably priced too for such a high skillset which is an added bonus! Thank you so much John, we hope to be back again :-)
Response from the owner:Thank you Alison, I really do appreciate you taking the time to review me & my business. Your daughter was amazing to work with for such a young age & it's always great to see & hear that kids enjoy their time in the studio. If you need any help with regards to child modelling & agencies then please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks again, John :-)
Naomi Passman
